Today's news and jokes





















Kinda insane and shows how afraid the networks are of upsetting this administration that a guy who killed 7 people and wounded 48 with “47” literally tattooed on his face has all but been forgotten like there’s still not a very serious threat emanating from every pore of this pathetic cult

(The last sentence of this NY Post write-up: "[He] is inked with an odd assortment of tattoos, including the word “awake” over his left eye — an apparent nod to his alter-ego as a wannabe rapper — as well as a stemmed rose around his neck and throat and the number '47' next to his right eye.")



















New: We analyzed Trump's meme coin - At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done" wapo.st/4iAatO1

This is an incredibly dangerous step: The President is going to personally direct the Attorney General to investigate (presumably criminally) the principal fundraising website for Democratic Party-affiliated candidates and organizations. Fundamentally antidemocratic. www.cnn.com/2025/04/24/p...

("Using AI-developed questions written by non-legally-trained psychometricians represented “an obvious conflict of interest,” [an assistant dean at UC Irvine Law School] argued, because “these are the same psychometricians tasked with establishing that the questions are valid and reliable.”")

@fallenangel1121 Yall this is what happens when you decide to act a fool on the ship. FAFO for real. Great way to ruin your vacation. You can certainly have fun on the ships but be smart and don’t get into any crap. You definitely dont want your trip to be cut short like this guys was. #cruisecontent #cruiselife #cruisenews #fafo #security #oasisoftheseas #royalcaribbean #cruisetok #bigtrouble #insandouts #CapCut #cruiseshiplife #travel #traveltips #cruiser #securityonduty #vacationvibes #contentcreator #creatorsearchinsights ♬ Hell To Da Naw Naw Naw - Bishop Bullwinkle








@swisstravelinggirl Switzerland has a unique relationship with firearms, deeply tied to its culture of neutrality and national defense. One of the most interesting aspects is the Swiss militia system: instead of a standing army, Switzerland has a conscription-based militia where most able-bodied men undergo military training and keep their service weapons at home. Until 2007, soldiers were even allowed to keep military-issued ammunition at home. Today, they still keep their rifles but must buy ammunition separately. Despite the high number of privately owned guns, Switzerland has one of the lowest gun-related crime rates in the world, thanks to strict regulations and a strong gun safety culture. Another fun fact: shooting is a popular sport in Switzerland, even among children. The annual Knabenschiessen in Zürich is one of the largest youth shooting competitions in the world, dating back to the 17th century. #switzerland #funfact #trendingsongs #anxiety ♬ Anxiety - Doechii
