and yet if you suggested banning such a thing you'd receive a dozen comments explaining that that would only make it more popular and lead to more kids using it, actually, if you think about it.

it's the phones dude

unambiguous W, and, again, such a pleasure to witness a community of purported health "affirmers" twist into knots regarding 2nd order effects like they're precocious 14 year olds who just read Hayek or Sowell.

the best bit is that with the age prohibition, the ban won't even affect the commentors. they're position is simply one of pure wretched psychic distress, that other kids will have leg up and not be addicted to nicotine.

hahaha, wow, epic xD

it reminded me of when I was a kid and ran a speed lab,

you can't do an officers' coup if you let him kick you out, dumbos

Hindustan Times speculating that Kash, Tulsi, might be out soon.

Following removal of Bondi, replacement of top general(?) with Pete's former advisor, reporting of Chief of Staff Wiles saying that Trump is getting too much info from yes men. Who knows what to make of all of it, or how slick Vance makes it out on top.

Haggie Haberman: "Allies of President Trump are already gearing up to turn Mamdani into a national figure to attack and tether to other Democrats ahead of the midterms."

LFG

I have been told that the White House has signed off on an all-out bombing campaign in Iran, but the ultimate targets, the centrifuges buried at least eighty meters below the surface at Fordow, will, as of this writing, not be struck until the weekend. The delay has come at Trump’s insistence because the president wants the shock of the bombing to be diminished as much as possible by the opening of Wall Street trading on Monday. (Trump took issue on social media this morning with a Wall Street Journal report that said he had decided on the attack on Iran, writing that he had yet to decide on a path forward.)

is it really implausible that a dude named hasan is getting detained by tsa lol

okay but he was obviously only taken aside because he kept triggering the metal detector with all his goofy ass thumb rings and pukashells and other assorted accessory bullshit.
