the trojans really should have looked a gift horse in the mouth

ALERT: if you are paying for Microsoft 365 Office, Microsoft automatically upgraded your subscription to inject all this AI bullshit into it and charged you an extra $30 without your knowledge. You have to manually cancel. Super malicious and predatory behavior, fuck you Microsoft you shitheads.

Hakeem Jeffries fucking sucks.

the president of the united states donald trump sent an innocent man to a foreign prison because he thought an obviously photoshopped addition to a photo was real. photoshopped is too nice a term. it was ms paint. it may have even done inside of microsoft word. his stupidity is breathtaking.

how in the fuck did he typo the ¬ symbol

The South is risen. The South is risen indeed. Let us pray.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Senator Chris Van Hollen just became the presidential frontrunner in my eyes.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

I say this as a historian — history will remember you utterly failing to meet the challenge of this moment. At the rate you’re going, “Schumer” is going to end up somewhere between “Chamberlain” or “Quisling”

Revealed preferences theory suggests that Wall Street executives value their ability to call their subordinates gay at approximately 8 trillion dollars

I had been reluctant to amplify the theory that Trump's "reciprocal tariff rate" for a given country was based on the dumb calculation: (bilateral trade deficit) divided by (imports from that country) But now USTR has confirmed it. Brief 🧵

batman is honestly profoundly awful as a superhero. a billionaire goes and beats up poor people on the streets? i would have trouble inventing a superhero that's more built to support the elon musks of the world.

oh cool, @schumer.senate.gov turned all his phones off so his constituents can't tell him what a failure he is. you are a pathetic sniveling piece of shit, chuck. resign now before you are forced to.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

fuck the democrats

i have it on good authority that elon walked into a merger meeting between two fortune 500 companies and demanded a guarantee of them purchasing ads on X or he would block the merger.

it must be really embarrassing to go all the way through law school just to work for Clare Locke and send a bunch of people whiny letters about how they are being mean to United Healthcare, a literally evil company full of evil people. pathetic, Clare Locke. you are allowed to turn down clients.

New Exclusive building on Wired's reporting: Musk operatives have already pushed live to production extensive code changes to the Treasury Department payment system which makes 95% of fed govs payments. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/musk-...

You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to Hamas.

Surprised by the market going up today? You shouldn’t be. Stocks often bounce higher on days when the “real world” is dealing with atrocity. The most nefarious explanations for this aren’t necessarily true, but the most likely one is hard to accept: in capitalism, capital always beats individuals.

Social media is incredible. Never before has it been so easy to find so much information on all things finance/econ/etc. Litigators must absolutely love it, because almost all of the advice is pure dogshit.

crypto is perfect for a future of corpofascist totalitarian control interspersed with apocalyptic anarchic wastelands but somehow the internet still works just fine and normal.

I guess it’s a good time to go long on companies that sell anti-depressants.
