Probably enough that the theme of the entire semiquincentennial is “Boats & Hos: America 250”

And another one. “These are unprecedentedly strong responses in patients whose disease has become resistant to both chemotherapy and immunotherapy.”

🎶 He had it comin’, He had it comin’, He only had himself to blame. If you'd have been there, If you'd have seen it, I betcha you would have done the same! 🎶

Stalin, Mussolini & Mao had subtler tastes.

So generous of the Dell to “donate” $6.25b for “Trump Accounts” and a tax write-off. The value of his personal stock ownership is up $57 billion since Trump took office.

LOL. Is Kushner gonna be the fund manager too?

BREAKING: The US Justice Department is seeking the names, addresses, and banking information of Reddit and X users, per Bloomberg.

To lose one father, Mr. Vance, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness

As corporate finance editor of the FT, I’ve seen a fair few debt-for-equity swap stories in my time. But it is fair to say I have never seen one quite like this before: www.ft.com/content/9d8d...

Just had a glance and this looks super. absolutely worth a gander.

I've been warning about this moment for two decades over at Techdirt The U.S. is too corrupt to regulate data brokers (and their exploitation and sale of location data) and the check has come due

These people are legit nutbags.

What’s a “grown-up” book you remember reading as a kid in the summer that you couldn‘t put down? The sort of book that made you excited for a lifetime of reading? One of mine: “A Prayer for Owen Meany,” John Irving

Any ideas of what to do with a bushel & peck of dill?

no bread but there's gonna be a circus

Fantastic thread on the Pope’s first encyclical

This is an interesting Pope

Counterpoint to Mr. Melville: This House Believes You Can Get It

I can't stress this enough: The relationship between the Vatican and sections of the AI/tech sector detailed in here has potentially *huge* political implications. Even wilder: no one seems to know exactly how it's gonna play out over time.

I would fucking hope so, it’s a bank holiday, I would be ashamed of my country oh wait this is about Trump ignore me

Is “Strangers” by Belle Burden meant to be about a woman who is almost comically spoiled? I missed the discourse about this book.

This book is jaw-dropping and whilst Collins published in the UK, despite its revelations about the royal family, Simon & Schuster dumped it in America - they claimed the bestseller was “unreadable.” US publishers banning books for Trump before they can even reach our hands.

The song Colbert would listen to forever, Mendelssohn’s Song without Words, Op. 19, No. 1, performed by Glenn Gould.

Gilda Radner, gone 37 years ago today. On that evening, Saturday Night Live host Steve Martin, fighting back tears, paid tribute to her — with one of her classic, taped sketches. #RIP 🙏🏼

will Trump’s Coast Guard Academy Commencement mention why he abandoned a lost Coastie at sea? www.yahoo.com/news/article...

@morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social @mika-brzezinski.bsky.social Tech hasn’t gone right on “woke issues“ — oligarchs have gone fascist on whether women & Black people should have the right to work and vote, on paying no taxes, take billion-dollar contracts & erase privacy.

this insurrectionist settlement is $1.776B to mock the Declaration of Independence and the founding of the country? is that right?

“The nation needs to have a reconciliation and healing.” Reconciliation? Whilst the little kids are being put in jail and they’re actively breaking every law?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social @velshi.com Any reason why the Republican turnout for the KY04 primary was +100% greater than 2024?

The real victims of Watergate were the friends we made along the way.

Really hope we find out what number Colbert is thinking of before the end @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

loved this weird dress. Cate Blanchett always tries Art. Cannes does the fashion I live to see. It’s what Vogue, Harpers & W were. The Met Gala is the Amazon Essentials of fashion - made for the clicks, not the Art.

Oops

Quite a thing to see Northwestern University proudly announce the appointment of its new President: Former Trump official Mung Chiang. I feel like a schmuck for ever believing in that place.

Good morning, y’all. This thread is spectacular. US Politicians are absolutely off-their-goddamn-rocker nuts. Cuckoo bananas.

Well done to our genius leaders for leaving the WHO. Who would have thought an entitled man who has never encountered a moment of pushback would steer the American medical establishment off a cliff?

Oh, look! A real country!

Saw that your Mom's posting selfies on FB Marketplace again

@joemillerjr.ft.com I’m surprised your profile on Wilson made no mention of the Vice President and SecDef pushing “household voting” and disenfranchising women, or his thoughts on the SAVE Act.

An ICE removal flight operated by Journey Aviation just landed in Myanmar--the second time this year. Migrants onboard will have been shackled for 19+ hours.
