Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

A write-up

The fundraiser is supposed to be at the Iger estate

A write-up







(He resigned. This write-up identifies the person who pushed for his firing)







So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

("Since 2019, the number of privately educated elites has barely changed and in some fields is growing...The report also revealed stark figures on the proportion of the elite who attended Oxbridge, with three-quarters of senior judges attending either Oxford or Cambridge, compared with only 1% of the population. Those institutions were also dominant among senior civil servants, with 66% of permanent secretaries being Oxbridge graduates.")

I think the ultimate scam here is that she doesn't appear to be AI. The voice is synthesised, but I'm pretty certain that's just a human actor on a greenscreen. What better way to launder corruption than to *claim* all your procurement decisions are made by an unquestionable AI lady

A write-up (I haven't seen an indication the guy who spread the misstatement apologized)







Ah yes... pricing your loss leader out of reach for your audience will certainly combat losses due to tariffs. $650 for a console that cost $500 at launch is just... magical. For those keeping track, we've now seen Xbox prices increase 30% instead of decrease during this generation.

If ever there was a town set up for endless jokes, it was Moron. Southern Pacific first named it Moro, then added the "n" to avoid confusion to Morro Bay. When "moron" became synonymous with feeble-minded, the town changed its name to Taft (named after the president) in 1909.
