C’mon Giz, show us the picture.

Here’s a Forbes link with the full Mona Lisa image. There’s a twitter link to the guy who made it and a bunch of others.

For a second I saw...:

I’d say it’s going hard to put any institution on notice of the fact that they stand to get fined for failure to act in accordance with Federal regulations, even though compliance with those regulations could constitute some form of murder under state law. Basically telling them there’s no way to follow all the laws.

Unfortunately, Texas is functioning as intended.

I wish it mattered. The GOP regularly shows contempt for what their voters actually care about, but as long as they draw the electoral maps and say that the “Radical Left” hates America, they keep getting swept into office and passing absurdly unpopular legislation.

I don’t have the energy for nuanced conversations on this topic anymore, so I’ll just say: AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! FUCK THIS!!!

The fact that they’ve had the same pediatrician for 10 years was the bit that sounded odd to me, too.  That presumably means they already have other children and this doctor saw no reason to call CPS about them, so that seems to imply that something was different in this case...

The story mentions that some (CPS?) file lists the neighbors as the baby’s parents, who DO have a child abuse record.... so basically CPS thought they were taking the baby away from different people (?). And now the Jackson’s can’t prove THEY are the baby’s parents because they haven’t received the birth certificate.…

I’m a black pediatrician and something signficant is missing from this story. The reasons why black families choose midwives and home births are unfortunate and justified by how they are treated. And jaundice is a common condition that doesn’t require treatment...until it does. And then when it does, it needs to be…

I rewatched The Voyage Home recently, with some trepidation as it must have been the 90s when I saw it last. I found it wonderful, and a lot more entertaining than any of the modern Trek films. Oddly subversive too — hey look, you can do a sci-fi adventure film _and not have any badies_. Just a problem that clever and…

several Republican congressman reportedly wore AR-15 pins to work in support of a gun manufacturer

In fairness, Idaho is the worst state in the region by a significant margin. When people are skirting your draconian restrictions in the loosey-goosey free-for-all that is Utah...

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m pretty sure some of us have been discussing the shit the guys have been wearing for a hot minute now.

Chances are every Executive office occupant probably walked away with some number of classified documents, as a matter of course.

Just as an important piece of context, McCarthy has been promising retaliatory committee removals against the Dems, namely for Reps. Schiff (CA-28), Swalwell (CA-14) and Omar (MN-5).

If you dig into the polling and research, it becomes clear that the divide is less about people’s individual genders than the way they think about gender. People who believe in traditional gender roles — and perceive that those roles are increasingly being blurred to men’s disadvantage — are much likelier to oppose…

Republicans tend to be over-represented on maps, as they spread out (apparently to avoid altercations) more than Dems. Still, after correctly identifying all the reps named by district, there isn’t a lot of red on the map: Burchett (R TN-2), Rogers (R AL-3), Gaetz (R FL-1), Cammack (R FL-3), McCarthy (R CA-20), Mace…

Resigned. Released. Rested. - It appears the longest-serving [1] Republican Speaker is available.
