While I would have preferred Ms. Schafer if for no other reason than family name loyalty, dude REALLY looks like Link.

Ahem.

Peter Thiel has now sold his entire stake in Nvidia and 76% of his Tesla shares. Michael Burry's entire portfolio is now short positions in Nvidia and Palantir. Softbank has now sold its entire stake in Nvidia.

They think we’re all so stupid

I can't help myself but this video has strong historical reenactment vibes.

"the level of intelligence in any given space is held hostage by the loudest person in that room." Aka why assholes make two-hour videos hating on individual episodes of Star Wars shows that are only an hour.

#MorningVibe Wise words from Frank Sinatra.

Retail affirmation: "THIS IS MY CIRCUS! THESE ARE MONKEYS! THERE ARE MANY LIKE THEM, BUT THESE MONKEYS ARE MINE!"

"People like you voted for Bill Clinton, you stood by Bill Clinton" Ma'am, I was 7 years old the last time Bill Clinton was on a ballot. My only feelings on him were I'd get mad when I'd come home to watch Days of Our Lives and my mom would tell me it'd been preempted by his sex scandal again.

Uh this is enormous

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

People getting mad here about anyone saying it's good that MTG and Trump are fighting. I teach democratization every semester. The first slide says 'elite fracture.' That's always where it starts. It's good when people with bad politics are fighting one another.

“What does true security look like in a world still haunted by the remnants of war?”

Until I was about 8 or 9 I thought Marines reported to Santa Clause because of Toys for Tots.

كل يوم أفتقد الرجل الذي أعطاني هذا بدافع اللطف الخالص

So let’s talk about breast cancer screenings: It’s 2025 and we are STILL doing the titty squish/bobbie press/mammary mash?! What. Are. We. Even. Doing?!

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

In August, a judge ruled that Luigi Mangione could have a laptop to view evidence while in jail. He still hasn’t gotten one. Maybe he should ask Ghislaine Maxwell if he can borrow hers. She's had no trouble getting one. And she’s convicted of her crime, not just accused. apnews.com/article/luig...

I needed this

As a pedestrian commuter (~5 km) who encounters several of these daily, I can verify that slip lanes are an absolute hazard for walkers.

Competence porn is real?!

"Good luck" is a curse if you outlive everyone and everything you care about.

Just saw a blood bank's commercial that someone not giving blood is a big red flag, and that's just some NASTY business. It was clearly made with real people and was well shot and lit, so hey, at least they're paying humans, but DAMN.

Instead of electing officials to legislate and run government, we elect bullies to bully the people they've told us need to be bullied, and I'm. So. Fucking. Tired.

From one vocal powerhouse to another the torch was passed! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 #kellyclarkson #caroleking #whereyoulead #throwback

::to the tune of the Reptar musical from Rugrats:: 🎵 Epstein Epstein Just Release the Epstein 🎶

I’m pretty sure almost everything about Baldwin the Leper king is completely fucking made up. At the very least? A 16-year-old did NOT get the drop on Salah al-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub. Be serious.

If you're new to Substack or just looking for serious immigration writing, I've compiled "The Immigration Substack Universe"--a live directory of newsletters focused on policy analysis, research, and field reporting. Check it out and suggest additions. alexanderkustov.substack.com/p/the-immigr...

Check on anyone still serving that you know/care about. They are very likely not okay for a myriad of unique reasons.

My "most woke opinion" is that human life matters and any human-made system that is not rigorously hammered into an apparatus that serves *all human life equally* then it's a garbage system and it needs either an overhaul or total replacement.

The moment someone suggests that this or that demographic is inherently smarter or deserving of more rights than another, you can toss everything else they say in the bin. You've heard the steam engine whistle but there's *always* a whole train of dumb evil bullshit on the way. Blow up the tracks.

Obviously this means Trump now needs to have control over all US bishop appointments like we're in 17th century France

We need more young, brave people to stand up and step out and be active community leaders and elected representatives.

Think I'll be catching this instead of Wuthering Heights because it looks both romantic and utterly BATSHIT. (shout out to @theabigailthorn.bsky.social since this appeared in the advertising on her channel, otherwise I would never have known it even existed)

i don't mean this in terms of hypocrisy, i mean it in literal, linguistic terms: what is this if not censorship by the state not "what about!" just this, taken on its own, wherein the government must approve what you teach adults. we literally have a word for it.

This is as true of Gavin Newsom as it is of any newspaper or political party you'd care to name

If this makes someone mad, they are a a bad person

“We killed a bird, cooked it, and ate it as part of a feast day,” is to my knowledge a concept which every culture has. How can one possible fail at comprehending the Thanksgiving turkey?

Watching The Banker (2020) and it's... schmaltzy and oversimplistic (and likely as inaccurate as any "based on a true story" movie will be by definition) but it's also wholesome and optimistic in a way I needed this morning.

If you don’t have kids you can’t say anything about kids, that includes saying they shouldn’t be trafficked and abused by the rich. Fucking lunacy.

I think the reason I enjoyed Materialists is that it's structured far closer to a "thriller," in terms of how the story is structured and edited. There's also this creepy dystopian vibe when people are constantly talked about in terms of "value," so the "big reveal" is about that

People love to say transphobic/xenophobic shit to retail sales personnel because, on some level, they know we can't respond, so they can smugly say mean-spirited bullshit and feel like they did something because we couldn't dunk on them like Michael Jordan because a retail store isn't Facebook.

Sugar, We're Going Down Kung-Fu Fighting

Rebuilding AFTER homelessness is whole ordeal in and itself informed by this gnawing feeling that it can happen again. “Explain this gap in your resume” can make you break out in a cold sweat.
