😂😂 Logan for the win. Who could leave without this American delicacy? Lol.

As his fascist project destroys the USA from the inside, Peter Thiel went to the Aspen Institute to warn about...democratic socialism! Oh no! Childcare and healthcare are the REAL problem, not the towering frenzy of criminal corruption Silicon Valley unleashed in Washington.

It's just like MAGA, except it wants a more tolerant, egalitarian society, where everyone has healthcare and the material prerequisites of a life of dignity. I guess from the perspective of the theater critics in media, that difference is invisible.

Let's hear it for President Dealmaker, who negotiated and signed USMCA (calling it the “best and most important trade deal ever made"), then ran against it, won, and breached it while asking "who would ever sign a thing like this?' from the same desk where he signed it, and now won't renew it.

New York City’s Summer of Ludd festival is teaching people how to live offline amid the suffocating presence of Big Tech.

When he acted this way at the NYT Dealbook Summit, his damage control team tried to convince everyone it was because he’s neurodivergent. Perhaps they confused “neurodivergent” with “absolutely flying?” Because umm…

This is Netanyahu's war with the US footing the bill. Trump is along for the ride, beholden to transnational fanatics and mafiosos, including Kushner. It won't end on Trump's terms because he didn't set the terms. An article on Israel's long-standing goals: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/the-no-wor...

NEW: Most Supreme Court Rulings Are Secretive Votes With Little Justification ProPublica conducted a new analysis that shows the court is deciding more consequential rulings than ever before in largely unsigned orders with little to no explanation.

lol. The Onion has found its own way to manipulate the market.

I’ve never punched someone in the face, but every time I see Kevin Hassett or Mike Johnson, all I can think about is how much I’d like to punch their lying faces.

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, the daughter-in-law of RFK Jr, helped her father secure at least $12M from a Russian investment bank that cooperated with the Kremlin while she was working as an American spy.

This headline is so ridiculous. Almost as if the @nytpitchbot.bsky.social wrote it, but nope.

So bad, but also… 😂😂😂

“…Gasoline production has fallen 17% to 850,000 barrels a day, from 1.03 million a day a year ago — far short of what’s needed for the domestic market. Russia exports relatively little gasoline. About a third of Russia’s oil refining capacity is offline…”

Got the garden going a bit late this summer, but the raspberries are early, which usually means more berries in September. 😋

Basically the Supreme Court is 5-4 on whether America is white man's country

Whether you agree with Bernie Sanders or not, he's been consistent for decades about one thing: concentrated wealth threatens democracy. Now he's making the same case about AI. For the @wired.com Big Interview, I sat down with Sanders -- as vociferous as ever! -- to talk about that and much more.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Andreessen, Andreessen, Andreessen. (He’s very close with Peter Thiel.) 1/

I wish every ”pro-lifer” would read ProPublica’s Life of the Mother series. Everyone should, really. The stories are gut-wrenching but so important.

Well, this is a bit too on the nose. But you’ve gotta laugh, right?

This is very sad and will likely only get worse as AI becomes more sophisticated, especially if American tech companies don’t take meaningful action to address it.

Students pursuing graduate degrees in nursing, physical therapy and several other fields will be eligible for higher student loan limits after a federal judge blocked part of a Trump administration rule that held them to lower caps.

"You can’t hustle alone. Move to a city where founders thrive and get to work. Head to Miami if you want to scam people with crypto, or San Francisco if you want to scam people with AI. If you’re scamming people the old-fashioned way, stick with New York." buff.ly/PzpyZql

When you‘re maxed out on serious nonfiction (and have bitten down all your fingernails), you switch gears to a ridiculous bird book from your BFF.

The Democratic Party has a difficult choice: A) Listen to the voters and fight back against the oligarchs who monetize ignorance and keep the poor poor. or B) Stick with the same old GOP Lite routine that has handed the government to fascists. Yep, it's a very, very difficult choice.

NOW PAY HER YOU FUCKING PSYCHO

No more stitches or cone of shame. She’s loving life. Good morning! ☀️

When billionaires preach "abundance," remember that the richest man in the world killed the poorest children in the world just for the LOLs. And if these AI fascists get their way, most of us will join the starvation class. www.thenerdreich.com/a-silicon-va...

I miss the great American tradition of not thinking about the president constantly.

Hammock is put together and the fence is covered in pool towels, which means it’s officially summer in my backyard.

Oof, sure does. I was chatting with my friend in South France, and she said it topped out around 105F a few days ago. 🥵

I heard a clip of this song this morning, but it deserves to be played in full. Arguably the most powerful song ever written—it moves me to tears every time.
