    After acquittal, Read has filed some suits against the police. Here's the complaint, which seems to substantiate those long standing rumors about new england and all the bigots there. https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2026/06/04/karen-read-unleashes-tidal-wave-of-explicit-texts-between-proctor-and-goode-in-new-lawsuit/

    We all make mistakes. The sign of a man's character is not being free from mistakes. It's that, after making one, he picks himself up, and begins to fully support Donald Trump.

    CBS Sunday Morning is a regular here too. Lots of good arts stuff. 60 Minutes decides what they want you to think then edits toward that goal.

    I'll forgive him for that particular tearful shit. It was refreshing to see people not putting political bullshit first.

    Would he want President AOC’s agency heads to be able to cancel any grant at any time if one of them decided the research ‘wasn’t in the national interest’?

    Yglesias putt it well - his only qualification is a demonstrated willingness to engage in abuses of power.

    Erin Brockovich gets involved: https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/erin-brockovich-says-people-angry-165957745.html For now she's not taking side (at least not overtly). She's just advocating for more transparency and crowd-sourcing information about plans for data centers.

    @Axtremus said: @Mik said: He aspires to be a great president. Can you name a U.S. president who did not aspire to be a great president? “Aspiring to be a great president” is not a point of distinction, but rather a common trait, even a de facto prerequisite, for the office. Are you just blithely implying that Trump has America's best interest at heart? The rest of your tribe may draw and quarter you for that. Don't say it on Bluesky.
