  • Big US cities are sinking. This map shows where the problem is the worst.

  • Its population is too small to make it into this study, but it was mentioned in the press release from Colombia alongside Venice and Jakarta as rapidly subsiding coastal metropolises that have drawn media attention.

  • Trump Says He Will Order US to Reopen Alcatraz as Federal Prison

  • This is still about the location, but not in the way you’d expect. It’s near Hollywood so movies were made about it and it’s the next most notorious American prison after Guantanamo that Trump has heard of. I guarantee this is his Plan B after Guantanamo didn’t work out.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • There are some messed up people in the military who are willing to do questionable things, but they still have friends and family outside of the military who would certainly look down on that. I think most people would balk at orders to gun down the other branches of government, especially since the court and Congress are majority conservative and ostensibly on Trump’s side and the military leans conservative. If there is a public massacre, it’ll probably be someone he sees as an easy target for his show of force, immigrants that he was blocked from deporting perhaps

  • After her defeat, Kamala Harris re-emerges to weigh in on Trump

  • Biden tried to implement student loan forgiveness through the education department, but the courts shot it down. Then he piecemeal implemented it in groups where he could. It’s not his fault the legislature didn’t have a strong enough majority to pass it as a law or boost it through their budgetary processes.

  • Tesla Board Opened Search To Replace Elon Musk As CEO

  • You have one month left to get your Real ID before the May 2025 deadline: It's 'crunch time,' expert says

  • That is expensive! In Texas it is $33 for a standard driver’s license and lasts 8 years. All these recommendations to get a passport card make a lot more sense now. I was confused at first because passports here are way less affordable than a driver’s license and you can’t drive with a passport, so you still need that driver’s license in a car-centric state. Real ID started rolling out in 2012 so people have really been dragging their feet if they still don’t have one. I don’t think you can get a driver’s license or ID card here without Real ID. Also stores that sell alcohol don’t take a passport here either, so you need a state ID if you want to drink.

  • Ted Cruz warns Trump tariffs could lead to a 'bloodbath' for Republicans in midterm elections

  • Do you really want to leave Republicans in charge of the legislature until Cruz is up for reelection?

  • Americans under 30 are so miserable that the U.S. just fell to a historically low ranking in the world happiness report

  • It is normal for older people to be jaded. Having the young, idealistic age start out life jaded and miserable really drags the average down.

  • The Army Is Losing Nearly One-Quarter of Soldiers in the First 2 Years of Enlistment

  • The person who shared this here specifically said [US President] Trump is losing soldiers which is a fairly specific indicator. You can look up which countries have a person named Trump in charge. The linked website is a US website writing for a US audience so they don’t write their headlines as if they are a global news organization.

  • Tesla’s stock is plummeting. So is the Bay Area’s respect for its vehicles

  • Just because someone has a higher paycheck and a slightly nicer car doesn’t mean they have made it beyond living a paycheck to paycheck grind. Most of these people are living in a slightly more expensive neighborhood that eats up a lot of those slightly higher wages and they still have to budget for major purchases like a new car. Tesla owners aren’t a bunch of hedge fund managers living in mansions behind gates, separate from the rest of us. I don’t have a Tesla myself, but I live in a boring suburban neighborhood full of Teslas.

  • Exclusive: Donald Trump Jr. Considering a Run For President in 2028

  • Not necessarily, it could be like Russia electing Putin into office. In 2008 he traded roles and became prime minister due to the consecutive term limits they had there, then he went back to the presidency and abolished that whole restriction so he could remain president for the rest of his life. Russia still has elections, but opposition candidates get disappeared. It’s more of democracy theater than actual democracy.

  • Athletics Australia becomes Australian Athletics in 'bold new' rebrand

  • Fascinating, the term athletics refers to sports in general in the US. Track and Field is indeed the categorization I am familiar with.

  • Alleged Cybertruck bomber was ‘big’ Trump supporter: source

  • The odds are pretty much nonexistent. You don’t accidentally load up an electric vehicle with a bunch of gasoline and fireworks, park it in front of a building with the incoming president’s name, rig the flammable material to ignite, and finally shoot yourself before it ignites. Supposedly his wife just broke up with him after Christmas, so perhaps he was feeling extra hopeless and wanted to do something extreme to get everyone’s attention.

  • Churches close their doors as fewer Americans attend

  • Churches close their doors as fewer Americans attend

  • My library has board game rentals, multiple meeting rooms, and maker spaces with 3d printers, sewing machines, and other equipment along with the traditional rooms of books for different ages and interests. You can have social spaces within a library, it doesn’t all have to be silent.

  • Squeezed by high prices, a growing number of Americans find shelter in long-term motels

  • The word you are looking for here is impulsively, not accidentally. He purposefully went through the whole process of selling the house and experienced immediate remorse, but there was no accident involved.

  • Trump's deportation vow alarms Texas construction industry

  • 42% of the state did, not everyone in Texas is a Republican.

  • Embarrassed Teslas Drivers Buying Huge Numbers of Anti-Elon Bumper Stickers

  • The stickers do help, I have seen one before and then I remember how it was exciting in the early days that someone was very publicly making a big push to introduce a viable alternative to internal combustion engines. We know a lot more now about Musk and Tesla than we did back when the first cars rolled out. A lot of the early Tesla owners probably meant well and it doesn’t help that nearly all the infrastructure (at least in my area) is car-only and hostile towards other forms of transit.

  • This Is Exactly How an Elon Musk-Funded PAC Is Microtargeting Muslims and Jews With Opposing Messages

  • His PAC is targeting multiple groups separately with conflicting messages instead of advertising to users across the platform broadly with messages that don’t contain contradictions. The PAC is trying to convince everyone that Harris supports whoever they assume to be each ad recipient’s big enemy.
