My “this is not a golden calf” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

“.. now you're telling me if I want my money back, figure it out. That sucks.” @npr.org @scottlincicome.bsky.social www.npr.org/2026/04/26/n...

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

I became so utterly loathsome to my fellow man that the crowd of amoral financiers, biglaw partners, and major landlords at the steakhouses of Manhattan despised me on sight. Regretting nothing, I was nevertheless obliged to retreat to a West Palm Beach Ruth’s Chris for a moment of peace.

“The values of The Post do not need changing. The paper’s duty will remain to its readers and not to the private interests of its owners. We will continue to follow the truth wherever it leads,” -Jeffrey Preston Bezos, August 5, 2013 www.washingtonpost.com/national/jef...

again my heart just breaks for this person, beaten and executed on the street for trying to defend their community, and for the people of Minneapolis, who have just been targeted for this endless dehumanization and brutalization just because of who they are & the inclusivity the city represents

But what if Maduro’s involvement in the drug trade was an “official act”?

bari weiss saw this and decided that she had to hide it from the american public

See? Just like Brett said. A temporary inconvenience and then all's well!

couldn’t be more representative of the current media landscape that the video trump posted of him dumping his own shit on people “appeared to be” ai generated. we have to hear out both sides of this, it could be real, who’s to say

immigrant grocery store owner who voted for Trump to lower grocery prices and then got wrecked by tariffs. mfer you run a business called "Wong Kai Imports" what the hell did you think was gonna happen

Local Man Turns Ad Tracking Back On Hoping to End Relentless Barrage of bet365 Adverts bit.ly/wutf

This man is being Gorilla Channel'd with a rotating selection of AI slop riot porn by several known white supremacists who are secretly running the government.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

This really is THE issue - you've got a situation where Dems can sweat and bleed to get their stuff in a bipartisan bill, and Rs can nix it with 51 votes (or just impoundment). That's new, and it removes the incentive to deal.

If you're a right-winger you're never going to win over gender studies professors, so raging at them is all you can do. But the persuadable academic groups (like econ/business/comp sci/physics) are all D+60 or whatever now because you've constructed a political party with no room for Jerome Powell!

[guy who gets fired from his job at a factory impacted by tariffs] i am just trying to make noise against the president

".. unless Pulte somehow had particular knowledge about issues with Cook's application, which is unlikely, then one has conclude that Pulte handed Fannie and Freddie a list of political enemies and asked for their loan files for review."

Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪

But I was reassured by many conservative “wonks” that the Trump administration was permitting-pilled and the Senate had saved the LPO?

As I stated at the time the Court's immunity decision came out, not only would it not prevent a future Trump from going after previous presidents, it gives him immunity if he orders his DOJ and intel officials to fabricate evidence to support his accusations! Which...is exactly what they are doing.

more evidence for “a bunch of AI cultists dismantled large parts of the federal government because they believed that their LLMs were intelligent and could do the work better” thesis

Whether it’s Democrats saying Latinx or Republicans fantasizing about having alligators eat all 65 million Latino Americans, both sides are struggling to connect with America’s fastest growing group of voters.

*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

The correlation between being insecure and ostentatiously trying to present yourself as tough remains incredibly strong. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Again, why do they dress like a band of highwaymen instead of a properly constituted police force? They’re inside the security envelope of a public courthouse.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

what is fascinating to me is the number of people whose “knowledge” of government appears to just be an accumulation of cliches and stereotypes + an inchoate sense that if something is big and costly then it must necessarily be “wasteful”

One of my favorite Trumpworld tics is “you’d even hate him if he did something good.” Telling on yourself a bit! bsky.app/profile/pale...

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. Trump thinks he can bully everyone into submission, but he can’t bully Adam Smith, who deals in reality. Markets know tariffs are taxes, and taxes are anti-growth. The Trump tariffs are the biggest economic policy mistake in decades ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

Putting aside debates about macroeconomics for a moment In a way, everything you need to know about why tariffs and why not is right here in this trading chart from this afternoon.

u could have done that in november sir

Yardeni has clearly had it. He never writes like this. @yardeniresearch.bsky.social

Trump 2024: Millions and millions of you are going to be screwing in little screws to make iPhones.

A debate over on Hellsite about Bessent’s brilliance reminded me of this chart of his hedge fund’s AUM.

Feel like I'm saying this everyday, but the people running the US government really are the worst people imaginable.

CHAPPELLE, in 2017: Bring jobs back from China? “For what? So iPhones can be $9,000??? .. (via QCap) $AAPL $NKE

alright, no more joking around. butlerian jihad starts tomorrow

Tough language from JPMorgan tonight: “.. we view the full implementation of these policies as a substantial macro economic shock not currently incorporated in our forecasts. .. these policies, if sustained, would likely push the US and global economy into recession this year.”

WEDBUSH: “.. it is becoming crystal clear this tariff/US policy will cause pure chaos to the global auto industry .. “.. the concept of a US car maker with parts all from the US is a fictional tale that does not exist and would take years to make this concept a reality.” $GM $F $STLA
