“KEIR STARMER BANNED FOREIGN JOURNALISTS FROM ENGLAND TO STOP A RALLY → IT PRODUCED THE LARGEST ANTI-GOVERNMENT MARCH IN YEARS:”
The UK just deployed a political weapon it's only used once before in modern history.
And nobody is talking about what it just backfired into.

WE’VE DESCENDED INTO SOME SORT OF BIZARRE HELL-WORLD IN WHICH BILL MAHER IS A VOICE OF SANITY:
Bill Maher just delivered the most clear-eyed, no-bullshit monologue on Israel & antisemitism you’ll hear from any mainstream voice in 2026.
“Israel was founded on the idea that antisemitism made a Jewish state necessary … Can you honestly listen to this rhetoric and not see… https://t.co/dBOT1WPsaD

UPDATE:
If you want to get on Grandma Groyper's bad side, it seems like all you have to do is defend the Jews. And if you want to earn her respect, just do the opposite.
As for her criticism here, Bill is not a hypocrite for opposing wokeness while defending Jews/Israel. The Jews are… pic.twitter.com/sArvU8FtQZ

ITS ORIGINS AND PURPOSE, STILL A TOTAL MYSTERY: He struck pedestrians with his car, injuring eight, four seriously. “He was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. The man is a 31-year-old Italian of Moroccan origin, who plowed into pedestrians [in Modena, Italy] at 100 km/h. He then attempted to flee, striking one person but was stopped by passersby. He had previously undergone psychiatric treatment….Salim El Koudri, a thirty-one-year-old Italian of Moroccan origin, was arrested on charges of massacre.”

WE’RE NOT NOTICING THESE THINGS EARLY ENOUGH: Recently Discovered Asteroid Will Sweep Past Earth at Close Range on May 18 — Here’s What to Know. “NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory estimates that 2026 JH2 is somewhere between 15 meters and 35 meters (50 feet and 115 feet) wide; the higher limit of this estimate would be roughly equivalent to one-third the full length of an American football field.”
AND THE ANSWER IS NONE. NONE MORE BAGEL: The world has officially reached peak bagel.
New York’s Citi Field has weathered its share of away-team blowouts over the years, but the crowd gathered on a brisk Sunday last fall was not prepared for the upset awaiting them.
At the sixth BagelFest, more than 2,000 devotees of New York’s most iconic breakfast food had lined up to try samples and schmears from local favorites and shops as far away as Denmark and Hawaii. When a panel of expert judges announced its pick for “Best Bagel,” the crowd erupted with a mix of elation and disbelief.
The winner? Starship Bagel, which is not based in New York—or even London or Montreal, cities with venerable bagel traditions of their own—but in Dallas, Texas.
For many bagel purists, the future should look like the past. True New York bagels today are made in much the same way they were when they were brought over by Jewish immigrants from Poland in the 19th century. Few had succeeded in replicating them outside the region until places like Starship Bagel came along and shattered New Yorkers’ long-held belief that great bagels could only come from their own backyard.

The New Hotness? Google Maps Just ‘Unburned’ the Pacific Palisades — and Infuriated Angelenos Noticed.
Angelenos have been noticing something strange: the Google Maps satellite imagery depicting the Los Angeles areas of the Pacific Palisades and Altadena now shows pristine neighborhoods untouched by the devastating fires of January 2025.
Of course, as we all know, those neighborhoods are in ruins. Why would Google pretend otherwise?
On Reddit, user TinyPinkSparkles asked, “Why is Google maps back to showing old satellite images of Altadena?” She continued:
Not too long after the fire, Google updated the satellite imagery to reflect the fire and thousands of lost structures. Now it’s back to pre-fire images of houses and businesses that are no longer there. Why?
Live look at Google maps of the area:

DECONSTRUCTING DECONSTRUCTION:
The virus is *non-falsifiable*. If you defend a norm, it’s because you’re the oppressor. If you deny being an oppressor, that’s proof of your unconscious privilege. If you cite facts, your facts are contaminated by the power that produced them. If you cite reason, reason itself is white, male, Western. There is no possible exit. The system is designed to make any objection inadmissible by definition. That’s exactly the structure of a cult.
And that’s exactly what has taken hold in universities, HR departments, media, administrations, and corporate boards for the past twenty years.

They file an absurd motion asking the Supreme Court to rule on a case where it clearly has no jurisdiction. Then when it obviously refuses (w 0 dissents), they accuse it of corruption to justify trying to stack the court.
Shameful. https://t.co/VwUlPiF41l
