Restaurants need to stop with the QR code menus. I came here for a meal, not to day trade crypto.

US generated more power from renewables than gas last month. Pipeline of new power coming online in the US is overwhelmingly green. 93% of all electricity capacity added in 2026 set to come from solar, wind and batteries. Just 7% from fossil fuels www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.

From a post: “Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization. So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”

This video is so disturbing. Is this how we treat our veterans for using the First Amendment right they fought for to speak out? And the fact that we have a bunch of politicians who don't even react to it is frightening.

This woman has shown more courage than the nominal leaders of the Democratic Party.

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Elon Musk: "Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez is a tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain." After Sanchez said: “We must speak clearly about platforms such as X and figures like Elon Musk. Freedom of expression is not the right of a magnate to buy the public debate and manipulate it through algorithms."

Sometimes economics conversations are best when you give 'em time to breathe (and add a few laughs). And that's why I loved my recent chat with @timfullerton.bsky.social and my new mates at the @findoutpodcast.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sper...

ᗰᗩƳᖇᗩ @LePapillonBlu2 Jan 27 on Twixxer. I just called the police. Somebody broke into my car, didn’t steal anything, and left four tickets for the Melania movie. That is a hate crime.

Pissed-off immigration attorney details ICE abuses and lawlessness.

I don’t know maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old-fashioned, but doesn’t it seem like a bad idea for the president, a bunch of his cabinet members, the guy he let decimate our federal workforce and his future Fed Chair, to be implicated in the criminal files of a notorious child sex trafficker?

This is the Gettysburg Address of 2026. A magnificent speech at a poignant time. youtube.com/shorts/koRRS...

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.

First, Boycott #Ford Second…here’s a GoFundMe that we should all support… TJ Sabula, a Ford employee, was suspended because he called tBag a “p3dophile protector” TO HIS FACE!! There are several campaigns…here’s one… gofund.me/edc98a090

here's today's post: "the state-sponsored murders will continue until morale improves" — scenes from the Sunday shows. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

It follows that Trump leaked the most market-moving economic numbers that exist. I have no idea how illegal this is, or if the law even matters any more. But I do know this: It's unprecedented. No White House has ever before leaked such important market-moving numbers. No serious country does this

My economic outlook for 2026: "If someone is super confident on TV, telling you they know exactly what's going to happen, the only thing you're learning is about their disposition... their overconfidence."

Since I’m getting “what did I miss” from alot, Paramount Plus, owner of CBS spiked the El Salvador CECOT prison story yesterday on 60 minutes because it made the White House look bad. Cancel paramount plus Censorship. Bari Weiss

Portland woman testifies that police lied about ICE activity in Oregon when 12 to 15 agents surrounded her vehicle, and she called 911 for help on December 10th. "I have a question for the police. If you refuse to do your job, are you prepared for us to do it for you?"

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

This is my kind of good trouble.

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Thinking about sending a reporter to Teterboro Airport to watch all the oligarchs fleeing.

This is brilliant

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
