The Trump Halo Memes Aren't Supposed To Make SenseThere’s a theory that started on Bluesky a month ago from composer Patrick Cosmos that everyone in the US government is 12 now. Cosmos goes on to show how all the dumb shit we’re currently living through, and which boggles the minds of regular people, makes total sense if you imagine it was conjured up by the brain of a pre-teen. I had a little laugh at this theory but didn’t think about it too seriously until this weekend, when several government social media accounts got really into Halo.

States rethink a long-held practice of setting speed limits based on how fast drivers travelRoad safety activists and some states are pushing to depart from a longstanding rule that sets speed limits in the United States based largely on how fast drivers actually travel. This is due to the 85% rule, which ties speed limits to the speed of the 15th-fastest vehicle out of every 100 traveling a road in ideal conditions. Critics say this approach encourages speeding. Ohio is among the states considering new guidelines that focus more on safety. But supporters of the rule say it provides... #Activism #Business #California #North Dakota #Ohio #Politics #Texas #Washington #Wisconsin 2025-8-16 9:00pm AP News https://apnews.com/author/jeff-mcmurray 2,000 words Rated 2025-8-19 4:57pm - sethherr

GOP candidates fight each other -- and mostly line up behind Trump -- at first debateThe Republican presidential candidates vying to be the leading alternative to front-runner Donald Trump fought -- sometimes bitterly – over abortion rights, U.S. support for Ukraine and the future of the party during the first primary debate of the 2024 campaign. But on what is arguably the most consequential choice facing the party, virtually all lined up behind Trump, saying they would support the former president if he is their nominee, even if he is convicted in a series of cases.
