Hollywood was better when execs were just doing a lot of cocaine and greenlighting everything that sounded cool

We're never going to live down the accusations that we just invade countries to steal their oil

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

Mark Kelly: "I would like to see a lot of my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate speak out about this, because this is right after Charlie Kirk's assassination."

An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers. Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

If the Republicans have decided that they want to die on the hill that troops should obey illegal orders and that encouraging them not to is a threat to Trump's defense policy, then I say let them.

Elon appears to have trained Grok to say he would win at everything

It means they are trying to starve people:

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

Oh come on @goodlander.house.gov (once again I would tag Chris Pappas if I thought he cared about literally anything; I still believe Goodlander cares at least a little bit)

Federal agents wearing tactical gear used chemical irritants on protesters at the Bro-Tex facility in St. Paul. Video by reporter Louis Krauss, who is on the scene.

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

Y'all undersold how bad the 1989 Legend of Zelda cartoon is: aftermath.site/nintendo-legen...

Fun fact: the US sells more higher ed to China than soybeans

"Everyone’s got their thing. For some, it’s baking. Others, gardening. Me? I like to take a modified Honda Accord, drive over 100 mph, and swerve between cars, almost killing entire families, babies, men, women, whoever."

As @mcopelov.bsky.social is known to say, "Who actually was president in 2020?" continues to be the central cleavage of American politics in 20205. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Little do you realize you fell into my gambit sir, I also spend absolutely no time working

Why does Trump need to support the House vote to release the Epstein files? Can't he just order their release himself?

don't associate me with Hitler! he only came as a guest of my friend, Mussolini!

last night at a bar I learned that they improved pinball by making machines that are entirely computers and they’re much better than what we had before

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

As someone who lived through the ACA’s passage, all I have to say is bahahahahshahaha *drives car directly into river*

“To be frank, it's kind of unbecoming of a senior senator.”

"She talked a lot about her record and her experience, and I appreciate that. But it doesn't matter at the end of the day, what you have done in the past, if you erase all of those victories with one vote."

By turning it into a cultural issue rather than a material one with only one cogent side

Saying something kind of resembles the thing it explicitly is is not pushing Unless you mean helping him push a cover over the fact that he has a Nazi tattoo, has had a Nazi tattoo for 20 years, and is somehow both too fucking stupid to realize it, and also smart enough to be a Senator

Trump denies the Epstein allegations

beautiful language

love his mechahitler stuff but also a fan of his early work like saying dead people are alive

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

So help me understand this again: There’s OTHER stuff that they don’t want us to see? Stuff other THAN THIS STUFF?!?!?!

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."

Very strongly, with regard to cognitive

The question everyone is asking right now is this: NYT had deep access into all of this in real time and reported none of it. Why? In consequence, no NYT reporting on this subject is trustworthy.
