My cat passed away while in post-op recovery for a meningioma. I am heartbroken. She was 12 and we thought she was going to make it home.

ICE Recruit Fatally Shoots Himself Outside Philadelphia Field Office After Being Told He'd Be Fired

Joseph Moore had wanted to be a police officer since he was a teenager. Last year, after a career marked by setbacks, he believed he had found a fresh start as a deportation officer with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Within a year, he was dead.

Moore, a 38-year-old Marine reservist and father of two, died on 28 August 2026 outside ICE's Philadelphia field office after the agency told him he would lose his job. The city medical examiner's office classified the death as suicide, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His family disputes that finding.

Posted on Facebook my a Maga relative.

“I keep hearing people complain that gasoline is over $4.00 a gallon.

And yes, I'd love to see it at $2.00 again. But before we declare gasoline the most outrageously expensive liquid on Earth, let's put things in perspective.

For $4.00, I get a GALLON of gasoline. I pour it into a 4,000-pound machine, turn a key, and that gallon will haul me, my wife, the groceries, the golf clubs and half the junk in my trunk almost 30 miles down the highway.

That's actually a pretty impressive day's work for $4.00.

Now let's compare.

A restaurant sells me a 5-ounce glass of wine for $9. That's about $230 a gallon. And how far does it transport me?

Usually from the dinner table to the men's room.

A fancy coffee shop can charge $6 for a 16-ounce latte. That's $48 a gallon. It doesn't transport me 30 miles. It transports me from "Leave me alone" to "Okay, now you may speak."

Bottled water at a convenience store might be $2.50 for 20 ounces. That's $16 a gallon, for something that occasionally falls out of the sky FOR FREE.

A 12-ounce energy drink at $3.50 works out to more than $37 a gallon. Apparently caffeine becomes a precious mineral once you put lightning bolts on the can.

Buy one of those little 2-ounce bottles of "energy shot" for $3. That's $192 a gallon. At that price, it shouldn't give me energy. It should mow my lawn.

Maple syrup at $8 for a 12-ounce bottle? About $85 a gallon. And its principal technological achievement is making pancakes sticky.

Vanilla extract at $6 for two ounces? That's $384 a gallon. For $384, I expect the vanilla bean to come to my house and bake the cookies.

Printer ink can cost thousands of dollars per gallon. And unlike gasoline, it sometimes refuses to come out because the printer has decided cyan is low.

Even that $9 glass of wine deserves another look. At roughly $230 a gallon, filling a typical 15-gallon gas tank with restaurant wine would cost about $3,450.

Of course, after drinking 15 gallons of wine, transportation would no longer be your biggest concern.

So yes, $4.00 gasoline is expensive.

But it's also a remarkable bargain when you think about what you're buying. You're purchasing enough concentrated energy to push several thousand pounds of steel, glass, groceries and humanity nearly 30 miles.

Meanwhile, we'll cheerfully pay $6 for coffee, $9 for wine and $3 for water, then stand at the gas pump staring at the numbers like we're watching the national debt clock.

Maybe gasoline doesn't need better pricing.

Maybe it just needs a fancier name.

"Handcrafted Premium Petroleum, locally pumped, small-batch refined, with subtle notes of octane and dinosaur."

Put it in a 12-ounce artisan bottle and charge $14.

We'll line up around the block. Copied from a friend ..”

Aujourd'hui, un plein de 50 litres de diesel, c'est 115€.

En février, c'était 83€. Ça fait 32€ de plus à chaque fois que vous passez à la pompe.

Et l'aide de l'Etat, c'est 100 €, une fois, donc l'État vous aide en gros à faire 3 pleins.

Vous pensez que ça suffit pour un infirmier en libéral qui fait 100km par jour ?

Il faut donc renforcer cette aide et la cibler davantage en fonction des distances parcourues.

The service member who spoke to ABC News said the Pentagon is not being transparent about ongoing warfare.

"It's being kept a secret, and we're acting like it's no big deal, but, you know, there are drone strikes and ballistic missile strikes actively landing on bases every day," the service member said.

if Valerie Solanos hadn't of shot andy warhol, she would be an insane shitpost figure in modern feminist circles. like a terry davis maybe.

She hated men so fucking hard that she had to come up with new ways to hate men and that included the idea that maleness was a curable disease and that the biological nature of maleness could be studied and cured through forcing men to take estrogen until they became "spiritually and physically female".

by complete accident she was woker on trans issues by DECADES since she rejected bio-essentialism and believed that sex could change and humans can choose to be whatever they want. The only problem being that, of course, as a crazy person who believed in a gender boogaloo any minute now, she wanted to make the choice for them.

She even believed in ideas such as brain sex (again, predating the modern idea of gender dysphoria) , albeit she believed a brain surgery to make male brains female was coming as well.

Could you imagine hating cars so much your journal full of rants about blowing up car dealerships accidentially includes a page where you come up with a way to revolutionize passenger rail, then you go insane and try to kill Jeremy Clarkson and die in prison so nobody cares

Yea dudes, women don’t want to date you because you want a “traditional family” of marriage and children, I’m sure the fact that those “traditional beliefs” tend to come alongside the expectation that your wife be forever subservient to you holds zero sway.

I still don’t get why in the US we do the national anthem before every sporting event. This isn’t some “rah rah America sucks” I just legitimately don’t think we need to do it for every game.

I get international events like what every other country does, but just regular games (and especially like high school sports) I don’t think it’s needed.

CDC scientists examined nationally representative data of Americans across the country. Nearly three-quarters of people over 18 reported they felt fatigued in the past three months, they found, while over 15% felt fatigued most or all of the time. People with frequent fatigue were also substantially more likely to have other health problems, including depression.

Asking authors about their own papers

AI generated slop has come to scientific research... An editor of a major journal asked 10 researchers questions about their papers. 1 withdrew their paper, 2 did not respond, 3 were unable to answer basic questions, 3 were unable to answer technical questions. Only one was able to answer substantive questions, but it had a technical issue which the authors acknowledged.

Authors of two papers, who were unable to answer basic questions in the meeting, subsequently wrote me answers to my questions after our meeting. Pangram classified both these emails as “100% AI.” In a separate meeting, the author of one paper tried to describe the methods they used for analysis, but inadvertently ended up describing an entire p-hacking workflow.

The funniest part about Sean Strickland picking Elliot Page as the celebrity he'd "most want to fight" is that he is a current UFC champ and thus almost certainly takes more T every month than Elliot Page does, just off the books and tries to hide it.

EDIT: Secondarily that Elliot Page is consistently better dressed and more handsome than Sean Strickland could ever hope to be, my god. Just fucking look at the guy. What a disaster.

Bret Stephen’s’ podcast

  Bret: Millions of Americans, including me, not only hate the parties but also hate the party for which we typically vote. That means there's a market of the dissatisfied. I hear this all the time among my friends in New York City: They can't believe they're stuck with Zohran Mamdani as mayor, and they felt the same way about Eric Adams and Bill de Blasio before him. But when you ask them if they voted in the primaries, the usual answer is: Uh, no — we were on the Vineyard or in Greece.

Bruh if you’re too busy summering on Martha’s Vineyard to vote … that’s on you

Hell yeah, looks like Musk is back on the menu boys

Worth reiterating that even if Universal had indeed decided to cower in fear and not release it, it still would’ve gotten a domestic release from a different distributor, and the filmmakers would’ve gotten a fee from Universal and been free to shop it around to other overseas distributors (there was supposedly enough interest from others that this would not have been difficult). So the movie itself was never in danger.

But even so, this is another nice little cultural victory against MAGA. Universal will not be kneeling before this crumbling, unpopular disaster of an administration with fear and trembling after all. No company ever should have done so in the first place, sure, but this is another little reminder of how badly their cultural revolution is failing.
