🚨 BREAKING: A Black couple showed up to tour an apartment in Queens... and the broker accidentally texted THEM instead of the owner: "Ugh. They are Black."
They'd just moved from Delaware for her new job. Now they're SUING Douglas Elliman, the agent AND the owners.
"It doesn't change the pain. It doesn't take away the pain you caused us that day."
Think about it. They were judged before they even had a chance.
They only found out because she texted the wrong person. Most people never do.

Yesterday was Elon’s greatest magic trick.
It got everybody believe an amazing technological gap had just been made.
I got fooled too.
At first, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I was so excited.
And don’t get me wrong , the technology, the precision at which the car did what it did, was fabulous.
However, it was not a car doing it.
And that is the true, Machiavellic genius of Elon.
There is no flying car.
There is no car at all.
It was an empty shell. As light as possible. No seats. Nothing.
Full of gas tanks.
With a maximum of 2 secs of thrust usage.
In other words, it was a drone.
A drone with a shell that looked like a car.
Imagine if it had been a square piece of metal instead.
You would have said “nice”.
The truth is, it is nothing more than that.
It was not the car that you will see in the street. It was just a piece of light metal, that had the same body as the one you wil buy.
The technology exists since a long time.
If nobody did it, it’s not that they didn’t think about it’s it’s because it is not sustainable.
It is not achievable.
So why were we fooled ?
Because most people can’t imagine the biggest entrepreneur and genius of our century would have put millions into a show and be ruthless enough to put a fake car in a demonstration with the goal of selling something that will have nothing to do with what he is showing.
It was a show. A spectacle. Pure manipulation. Ruthless, immoral marketing.
The whole “ socialism vs capitalism” or “Europe vs America” we are seeing is the result of a fabulously done propaganda.
The car doesn’t fly.
It never will.
Most importantly,
there wasn’t any car on that show.
But the brainwashed idiots that we are will rush to buy it, waiting for another two years ( 9 have passed already since the preorders), only to receive something that has nothing to do with what we have seen.
Expect the shell.
But in 2026, it seems it is what we are. Empty shells for which entertainment and lies are enough to make us dance like apes.
Porsche maybe didn’t do a flying demonstration.
But at least they will deliver exactly what they have shown. And it will drive better than any Tesla ever will ( especially if it weights two fugging tons).

I visited Northern Virginia’s “Data Center Alley” to see firsthand how out-of-control data center development can upend local communities. The trip made it even more clear why Floridians don’t want data centers in their backyards.
This used to be trees and hills. Now, it’s a data center that’s ruining the peace, health, and home values of its neighbors.
It’s 24/7 noise pollution. Just listen.

Last night, Donald Trump, our pathological liar-in-chief, said:
“Every single promise I made to you as a candidate, I’ve delivered on. I’ve delivered on everything.”
Really?
Well, let’s go down the list.
Since becoming president again, Trump promised:
✅ $5,000 DOGE dividend checks. A lie.
✅ $2,000 tariff dividend checks. A lie.
✅ $1,000+ checks by repealing ACA subsidies. A lie.
✅ A 10% cap on credit card interest rates. A lie.
✅ “The lowest drug prices in the world.” A lie.
✅ $2 a gallon gas. A lie.
✅ An end to inflation “starting on Day One.” A lie.
✅ An end to “endless wars.” A lie.
And now, after all of those lies, Trump wants you to believe that he will give every American adult a $5,000 check - but only if the Republicans win the midterms.
No. I don’t think so. The Trump Administration is not about helping working families. It’s about giving a trillion dollars in tax breaks to the 1% and throwing 15 million Americans off the health care they have.
IYKYK Today's ep had some definite growth. I'm still left frustrated at the end, but I have faith... but yea, iykyk... lol

Jaylen Brown exposing the behind-the-scenes realities of the NBA. He says most players have handlers who won’t let them invest in their communities, and help build the next Black Wall Street. Once you start doing that, he says, they begin attacking you media personalities like Colin Cowherd push certain narratives, and media companies come after you simply because you want to create change in your community.

A woman invested one hundred fifty thousand dollars from her personal retirement funds so that senior women would have access to reasonably priced housing and avoid spending their later years in solitude.
In the town of Cumby, Texas, seventy-year-old Robyn Yerian withdrew resources from her 401(k) account to establish The Bird’s Nest, a collection of compact residences designed expressly for older women who wanted both low-cost living arrangements and the company of others.
Across a five-acre property, Robyn arranged for essential services and prepared fourteen plots suitable for tiny homes. At present, eleven women ranging in age from sixty to eighty reside there, each contributing roughly four hundred fifty dollars monthly.
The residents discovered benefits that extended well beyond modest rental costs.
They prepare and enjoy meals together, assist with daily tasks, monitor one another’s health during periods of sickness, and gather beneath a shared outdoor structure. The setting has evolved into an environment in which advancing age need not equate to social isolation.
Interest in the community has been substantial. Robyn is said to have obtained over five hundred inquiries for the limited fourteen available positions.
She might have devoted her entire retirement nest egg exclusively to her own needs. Instead, she directed a portion of those savings toward creating an asset that many seniors value as highly as shelter itself: a neighborhood in which no individual is required to grow old in isolation.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🧐🤔“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”
Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.
This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:
“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.
A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.
A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.
A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.
A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.
You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.
In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.
Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.
Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.
Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.
Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.
Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.
And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.
And you call Greenland badly governed?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.
‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’
When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?
Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.
Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.
Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.
And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.
You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.
So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.
The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.
And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”

It has been 200 days since the Epstein files were released with zero prosecutions.
As someone works in human rights, I’ve never seen anything like the Epstein files in my 15-year career. There are 3 million files of documented evidence about powerful men and women who
Raped
Cannibalized
Trafficked
Filmed
Terrorized
Tortured
Hunted
Murdered
13, 14, 15 year children!
Remember: this is a minority of the files. This's just what they were willing to release.
Not a single arrest or investigation. ZERO have been arrested for raping children.
We called on the U.S. Department of Justice to hand over the full Epstein files to the UN Special Rapporteurs and UN independent committees for investigations, as this is an international case of crimes against humanity. But the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN's top human rights official didn't even care to open an investigation or listen to our call for the DOJ, nor utter a single word regarding the largest human trafficking network in modern history.
Epstein pedophiles are investigating Epstein files. We wonder why nobody arrested. Jeffery Epstein has every major politicians and billionaires on video doing something terrible to a child or to multiple people. And the media isn't silent about child sex trafficking because of the children. It’s silent because of who the customers are!
The Epstein files is never really about just a "list." It is about children raped by powerful men, and a system that let them get away with it.
The bottom line here is the world system has become so corrupt that the time has come I think to clean the crap out of the stables and start over.
The Epstein files is about protecting children. There's no greater cause. If people can't unite over children being raped and abused there's no hope for humanity.
I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.

A 26-year-old woman who repairs game consoles quit her job, opened an online workshop, and now earns more than her former colleagues in the trade.
For four years she worked in an ordinary repair shop, behind a counter, where nobody sees what happens to your console after you hand it in.
The price list: stick drift, one stick - $10–19. Two - $19–31. Hall effect sensors - up to $34. Cleaning, battery replacement, small jobs - from $6.
Work out for yourself how many consoles a month that takes to actually make a living.
After she quit, she set up a workshop at home and started bringing in $3,000 a month and up.
Viewers send donations on Twitch and Boosty while she repairs PlayStations and Xboxes live, taking them apart in front of thousands of people and narrating every step.
Haters will say it only works because she's a woman running streams. But the consoles are mailed to her from the other side of the country. Nobody goes to that trouble over looks.
Since she opened the online workshop, her income and her order count have both grown several times over.
All it took was turning on a camera.

“Do You Support Israel’s Right to Exist?” Mehdi Hasan FIRES BACK
Mehdi Hasan: I've been debating hardcore Zionists, Israeli supporters of Israel, for years. And the conversation always comes back to one talking point:
“Do you, or do you not support Israel’s right to exist?”
If you don't, you're an extremist, you're an anti-Semite, you want to wipe Israel and millions of Israeli Jews off the map.
But you don't have to concede on this point. It's a bullshit argument.
Number one: Right to exist where?
Israel is the only country in the world that refuses to define its borders.
So if you want me to recognize Israel's right to exist, does that extend into Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem all considered illegally occupied territory under international law?
So, right to exist where?
Number two: What is this right to exist? Where does it come from?
States don't have a right to exist. People, individuals have a right to exist. Human beings have that right. Not states, not countries.
The USSR broke up into Russia and 14 other states. Yugoslavia broke up. Czechoslovakia split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
What happened to their “right to exist”?
People have rights, not states.
And number three: If there is a right to exist, does Palestine have a right to exist?
Israel exists. It's a country with sovereignty, it's on the map.
The idea that in a world where Israel is genociding the Palestinians in Gaza, ethnically cleansing them in the West Bank, and blocking their legal right to return the idea that Israel's right to exist is the one we should be concerned about, and not Palestine's, is both ridiculous and, let's be honest, racist.

When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.

In the U.S. you can get a felony and 6 years in prison for sleeping in your car. For domestic assault, you only get a misdemeanor a maximum of 11 months in prison.
For many Americans, a vehicle is the last line of defense against sleeping on the streets. Yet, across the United States, local governments are rapidly enacting ordinances that outlaw vehicle residency and overnight parking.
From major hubs like San Francisco and Los Angeles to smaller municipalities like Colorado Springs, local authorities are expanding "camping bans" to target those sleeping in cars and even RVs.
These laws carry severe penalties, including steep fines, misdemeanor charges, immediate vehicle impoundment, and sometimes even a felony. For individuals turning to their cars as a temporary safety net, a single citation can trigger a cycle of debt and legal trouble that makes escaping homelessness nearly impossible.
The nationwide wave of criminalization has intensified following the landmark 2024 Supreme Court decision in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, which ruled that penalizing people for sleeping in public does not violate the Eighth Amendment.
This ruling gave cities broad authority to enforce camping bans, even in areas with severe shelter shortages.
In Tennessee, you can get a Class E felony for sleeping in your car — and up to 6 years in prison. Domestic assault is just a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by up to 11 months in prison. In fact, you can’t be charged with a felony for domestic assault until your THIRD TIME.
While municipal leaders argue these measures keep public spaces clean and safe, civil rights advocates warn they criminalize survival. Instead of addressing the systemic shortage of affordable housing, these ordinances penalize working-class Americans who are simply priced out of the rental market.
