First The Verge spotted the resemblance. Then NBC brought the Trump Phone to our San Luis Obispo office so we could get past the gold paint. CT scans and a full teardown confirmed it: the T1 is nearly identical to the HTC U24 Pro. Same internals. Same layout. www.ifixit.com/News/117789/...

Sure will be fun to see who made a big bet on rising stock markets right before TFG's "big announcment" this afternoon.

Someone should tell the current Administration that the point of Sports Washing is to appear sane and reasonable to the outside world.

We had an extra channel or two (including Windsor CBC!) but yeah…”Brian, can you change it to…”

hey its actually a gigantic problem that 1 of the 2 major political parties in this country are consistently claiming any election they dont win has been “stolen” or “rigged”

"The evidence that there was fraud is that they are hiding the evidence! Duh!"

God forbid Michiganders learn what other car manufacturers are capable of.

1 LB of ground beef now costs more than the minimum wage. For those that can help, please send a donation to your nearest food bank. Thank you.

Stop calling employer healthcare a benefit. If you can’t quit without losing your doctor, it’s a leash.

Having spent the weekend in DC, let me assure you that no matter how much you think you hate what he’s done to our capital, you should hate it more. Giant banners of his mugshot, tacky gold paint on the statues, a fucking UFC cage on the White House lawn and armed troops everywhere. (spits)

To h-e-double-toothpicks with all these fascists. Every last one of them.

Hedy Lamarr, a famous Hollywood actress from the 1940s, was also a remarkable inventor. She co-invented a frequency-hopping system during World War II to prevent enemies from intercepting torpedoes. This invention laid the groundwork for today's Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth technologies. #HedyLamarr

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.

How did we get from there…to *here*?

Andor is some of the best TV I’ve seen in a long time.

The U.S. Supreme Court erased all doubts about the sweeping nature of its recent voting rights jurisprudence Tuesday night with a shadow docket ruling that effectively reverses the Court’s own decision in the same matter just three years ago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I’m not watching one minute of this tournament. Not. One. Minute.

Funny how the recent rise in political violence by young men with mental health issues and easy access to guns is being blamed on rhetoric, rather than the lack of mental health services available to anyone and the lax laws that make guns so easy to get.

Happy Pride Month to everyone who brings a little more color to our world 🏳️‍🌈🫶🏳️‍⚧️

It seems that the only way to be safer is to recognize the duty of care for each other, the kind of care we have made riskier and harder for individuals to summon

This guy is just the best.

In February, Trump purchased over $1 million in Dell stock. Just weeks ago, Trump told everyone to “go out and buy a Dell.” Its stock price is up over 60% since then. Now, Dell has been awarded a $9.7 BILLION Pentagon contract. See the problem here?

It is also, not to dance around it, our damn country too. Some of us may choose to leave if there are options to do so, and I can imagine situations where I'd do so myself. But we live here, we work here, we all have the right to representative government that responds to our needs.

Amen. I’m getting chills just thinking about it!

Painting Zucks megayacht on Lake Union last night 🔥

The only reason Ken Paxton is considered masculine and Talarico isn't is because the modern media only recognizes pride and wrath as authentic masculine virtues.

Hourly wages are up 3% since 2019. Corporate profits are up 50%. Labor’s piece of the economic pie is the smallest it’s been in over 75 years, while corporate profits’ share is the *biggest* it’s been since 1950. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

We need overtures to make a comeback in movies.

I’m not asking my students to build a simple paxos server because I don’t know how.…

you can just not have kids if you don’t want to have kids. it doesn’t need to be because the apocalypse is coming.

Corgi.exe has crashed.

I see the deal that was almost done is not close. I wonder if he forgot the markets are closed tomorrow.

The same people wanting you to ignore the politics of Giants QB Jaxson Dart & cheer for him anyway sure as fuck wanted you to toss Colin Kaepernick in the trash right quick. White folks you never change.

We found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

And they leave the doors open on purpose to remind you they can. Resist.

PSA: If you spot an abandoned vehicle in an odd location within a roadway and with one or more doors left open—chances are ICE forcibly removed someone from the vehicle and just left their car; this has been ICE’s practice in hundreds of documented cases. And that’s documented cases. Stay woke.

The New York Times editorial board: “Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”

There are other search engines. some of them are *really* good. I personally use (and pay a small amount for) kagi.

Trump isn’t the problem. He is the result of the problem: the racism, ignorance, and selfishness of many people in the United States.

“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5733...

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

It's amazing how trump has destroyed more of the White House than the Confederacy ever managed
