This is way worse when you realize it’s on a log scale.
🚨BREAKING: New Data reveals that migrants from most of the world are committing sex crimes at a FAR HIGHER rate than British nationals
[@TheEconomist ]
For more than two decades, distrust in mainstream media steadily grew on the right. By 2025, 62% of Republicans said they had no trust at all. Just one year later, that number dropped to 42%.
Meanwhile, distrust among Democrats rose from 9% to 14%.

Imagine thinking that giving more people voting power is desirable.
Immigration officials approved 173,000 people for citizenship through the first eight months of 2026, down 72 percent from last year.
A sharp tapering off in naturalizations has left hundreds of thousands of immigrants waiting as midterms approach. wapo.st/4z8e6E3

Ensuring that only citizens can vote is the most popular bipartisan policy in America
Literally.
The only people who oppose it are politicians who are doing so to allow cheating.
It is that simple.

If Elon Musk hadn't purchased Twitter, we wouldn't have known that migrants were burning down Paris..
If you’ve been around financially disciplined people your whole life it’s difficult to understand that MANY people should not have a credit card.

This is where your tax dollars are going btw
Caleb Hammer completely unloads on a Louisiana couple after learning their $100,000 household is collecting $500 a month in FOOD STAMPS.
That’s $6,000/year in TAX-FREE income.
HAMMER: “That PISSES me off.”
That $6,000 cushion is exactly what lets them blow $3,600 a year eating out.
Taxpayers cover the groceries so they can hit the restaurants.
Hammer was so disgusted he stopped talking to them and started ranting under his breath, while the couple sat frozen in stunned silence.
Maybe everyone gaming the system should have to sit across from a taxpayer and explain themselves.
Something tells me the look on Hammer’s face will haunt them the next time they eat out.

Considering a new laptop. Windows user my whole life - never used a Mac.
Why should/shouldn’t I buy a MacBook?

You are probably safer in San Salvador than Paris at this point
Criminals cause crime.
El Salvador understands this.
The West has forgotten it.

Requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls is the popular opinion across the political spectrum, yet most states don't require it
Only US citizens should vote in US elections.
This is quite literally the least controversial opinion in all of modern politics.
Name any other issue that 84% of Americans across both parties agree on.
And yet CA and other states have resisted this. This action by the federal government is both justified and right.

Time is up for California
We gave California 48 hours to review and flag more than 20,000 noncitizen voters recently mailed live ballots.
California refused.
This morning we filed a federal court action seeking an emergency order requiring California to sequester ballots returned by suspected noncitizens.
This is not political or controversial. 18 U.S.C. § 611 makes it a federal offense for noncitizens to vote in a federal election. We will not allow California to dilute the votes of American citizens.
How is Copilot this terrible at managing my calendar???
Me: “find time this week to have a meeting with Bob, Sue, and Frank in building A.”
Copilot: “Found three 1-hour time slots on Thursday: 8am, 9am, 9:30. Which would you like to schedule?”
Me: “schedule 8am”
Copilot: “I can’t complete the booking information available in this turn. Please try scheduling the request again in a new message if the calendar tools are available.”
Me: “schedule 8am”
Copilot: “I’ll need to re-check the time slot and room availability… Please ask me to schedule it, and I’ll run room availability then create the meeting if time slot and room are available.”
Me: “schedule it”
Copilot: “I can’t verify Thursday 8am-9am availability right now.”
