cowardly lion yells at fellow face-eating lions about letting the loudest lion eat their face.

OpenAI is has now signed over a trillion dollars of cloud deals it can't afford. Based on these costs, OpenAI will spend $11 billion a month by 2027. This is more than the operating expenses of Meta, a profitable company with 78k employees. www.wheresyoured.at/where-is-ope...

Mamdani has already literally taxed the shirts off their backs smh

It's difficult to sum up the abject chaos Trump has caused by using people's ability to eat as a bargaining chip. Communication re: SNAP varies widely state by state, and it's wonderful to hear some have gotten November benefits, but many, many millions still haven't. This was totally avoidable.

“To hire 100 new faculty with AI expertise”

TACO Friday, I guess.

Trump take food stamps. Trump take going home to your family for Thanksgiving. Trump take health insurance. I can't imagine any of this is gonna poll well.

🌮

Lolno.

[Grub Street staff receives three cassettes in the mail filled with equal parts monologue about a mortadella sandwich in Marine Park and the indiscriminate sounds of cats yowling]

I need a Curtis Sliwa Grub Street Diary and I suspect I'm not alone @nymag.com

Ah yes. The old “trust, but verify, but mostly just hope” retention policy.

The Last Frontier is five shows in one. Unfortunately, all five shows aren’t very good.

🚨BALLROOM CORRUPTION ALERT🚨 Being the secretary of commerce didn't stop Howard Lutnick from donating to Trump's golden ballroom in hopes of getting more corrupt favors from the president in the form of pro-crypto policies.

OK, one, there is a reason to go to wartime footing, and that is war. I get that he is excited about war but that doesn't mean there is one. Two, we get it: you heard someone say FAFO and thought it was cool. It is not actually cool. Maybe you should say we will get 67 drones or something?

The Carnivorous Death Ball will be the first event held in the new White House ballroom.

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

I see everyone getting incredibly mad about this but… this is basically what the Dems have been asking for the entire time it’s a bad deal for the Dems! it’s super easy to say yes to! and we are over a month into a shutdown anyway because the response has been “you get nothing, good day sir”

lol lmao actually laughing

"Sources told The Reg that data sovereignty is now among primary questions salespeople at the big three - Microsoft, AWS and Google - receive when in conversation with European customers." 🇪🇺☁️🦅🇺🇸

Just naked bigotry, they don't even bother trying to hide anymore

"The cruelty feels sudden, but it’s anything but accidental." Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Is this real? Are people using LLMs as stand-ins for humans in social science studies? How on earth do they get these papers published? Could someone possibly be that ignorant?

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

Sleepy Don

Do you think his copy of Mein Kampf is signed?

“You can trust us. We’re the good guys.”

FCC boss Brendan Carr in particular is just the textbook definition of regulatory capture. He spends every day doing whatever Trump, Comcast and AT&T tell him to do while dressing that sycophancy and corruption up as serious reform. As usual, the press lacks the courage to make that clear

A federal judge blasted Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino for lying and extends an order restricting his agents' use of force in Chicago. blockclubchi.co/3WJRPe5

real sign of the times that an oil fund has to suspend its ethics rules to hold tech company stocks

🌈💫

This is fine

Also it’s insane to call USAID a “Biden-era program.” It was established by JFK!

Saskatchewan… reminds me of Montana.

BTW - this wasn’t really meant as a question. I wish OpenAI would just go away.

Hardly workin’.

Immigration judges with prior immigrant defense work make up the largest share of those fired by the Trump admin. NPR identified 70 fired immigration judges. The changes have at least shifted perception of fairness in these courts My latest investigation: www.npr.org/2025/11/06/g...

🤦‍♂️

It may upset you that the administration is cutting SNAP. But how can we, as a country, ensure the arrival of the first crop of trillionaires if we’re not prioritizing them first over people looking for a handout? #wontyouthinkofthetrillionaires #helpthetrillionaires

The cruelty is the point to them.

Writing about Elon Musk’s pay package without leading with this is like profiling John Wayne Gacy’s booming party clown career.

O, T****'s America: How great thou art! Gifted.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Is there a way to buy a peerage these days? Because I would contribute cash money to get Sean Dunn named the Earl of Sandwich

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows. Does this sound familiar? Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

Yo Safeway I'm not sure this sounds as cool as you think it does

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

There's some really big caveats to this. A thread.
