A surrender treaty at Versailles, you say?

The conversation I have had with each of my kids: "if you *ever* run into a problem online and you think you're in trouble, you can *always* come talk to me about it, and if you think I will be upset about a choice you made just start out by saying 'I may need some help.'" And I will take that...

Ben Shapiro dryly pursues agenda that the Dear Leader cannot fail; the Dear Leader can only be failed.

It's totally fucking dope that this place became the sports app. You need the experts, the beat writers, the nerds teaching you the game, the sycophants, the casual fans, the newbies, and the lookie loos to make it all work and Bluesky has gotten these segments in pretty much every sport now.

Had a very friendly, very chatty Lyft driver today, originally from Zimbabwe. Moved to the US 2 years ago. Has 3 boys, ages 3, 6, and 9 back home. Had planned to move them & wife to the US after about 6 months getting settled. "But then the immigration policies all changed."

Both Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio seem to be describing Netanyahu using the same tactic 14 years apart. The difference is, it seems, the same tactic worked this time.

Turns out she was never really concerned after all

Was the Missouri booked?

Once again the Silicon Valley crew of VC bros who flocked to support Trump said they had to do it because the Biden admin was making technologically clueless demands of AI companies (they weren't). None of them seem to be complaining about this technologically clueless demand that actually happened

After killing one person without warning or trial, the US government let two other survivors die a horrible death by drowning after clinging to wreckage. Despite knowing this was a possible outcome, the US government appears to have deliberately chosen not to stage search and rescue ahead of time.

Trump really ought to walk through the Senate chamber buck naked tomorrow and demand that Thune conduct a vote on whether he’s clothed. The vote would be 52-47 yea, with Murkowski joining the Democrats as a no and Collins saying she’s too concerned to vote.

We were the only UNIONIZED employees he’d ever had, too. I am broke as hell now, but I’ll never regret saying this: EAT SHIT, YOU PATHETIC TWERP. No matter how much cash you accrue, you’ll never know the joy of solidarity. Your life is empty, and you’ll be remembered as a warning to children.

“Ezra Klein is in Peter Thiel’s secret society with Joseph Gordon-Levitt” is a sentence I have been cursed by history to understand and not even find surprising.

Yessir.

devastating new opposition research reveals political candidate is in fact such a nice young man

New lawsuit just filed challenging Tommy Tuberville’s eligibility to run for Governor in Alabama because he’s a … Florida man.

He tore up Obama's JCPOA that kept Iran from having a nuclear program, then launched a war because he said we had to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear program, then told Americans their suffering was worth Iran not getting a nuclear program but now says Iran has a right to nuclear program. Sure.

Breaking: Kevin Warsh to be investigated for mortgage fraud.

say what you will about pre-Musk X but i don't recall female suffrage being a point of contention

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

Capitulation at Versailles (disambiguation)

Remember, it's only a waste of taxpayer money when it is something that is being done to help other people

"WITNESS HISTORY IN DALLAS" is certainly a *choice* for an advertising slogan, FIFA.

Guy who is President saying elections are rigged lol

that thar's good messagin'

One thing I learned when I was just out of college and watching 6-8 hours of Fox News a day for my research job at Media Matters: Ingesting hours of propaganda on a daily basis changes you, no matter how smart you think you are. If you don't notice the changes, that just makes you an easier mark.

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.

When Trump went to war with Iran, I watched every speech anyone in the administration gave and made a chart of every reason given for going to war "Eliminate ballistic capability" was the #1 reason given: more even than preventing Iran from getting a nuclear weapon

undeniably good optics: signing a war treaty in Versailles

Sen. Chris Murphy: "It's a multi-billion dollar payoff to Iran in exchange for nothing ... Iran won. Trump surrendered."

I can't even make a joke here bc this is just objectively funnier than anything I could say

Our imbecile president embarked on the Iran fiasco because he was still high from kidnapping Venezuela's president. Anyone familiar with gambling behavior want to guess whether he's more likely to stop now or double down

He signed an unconditional surrender at Versailles? Come the fuck on.

A badge of honor.

as i have been saying, no one likes or trusts vance and they are happy to make him the fall guy. it is, relatedly, why i think his odds of winning the nomination are decent. the country will be in tatters in 2028 and the GOP will be looking for a fall guy.

What makes my heart heavy is that 13 servicemembers and a school full of girls died for no reason except to attempt to boost a sad old man’s ego

@masnick.com, considers the AI age and the future of the internet, finding solutions in the burgeoning open social web: “Do we let the next generation of tools get built around chokepoints, or do we insist on architecture that distributes power instead of concentrating it?”

How does this article get written without mentioning Bluesky which let users customize feeds years ago? Come on, @techcrunch.com

Get off of X, the racist site for racists.

The Trump FTC engaging in more performative nonsense whose only purpose is cruelty.

A publishing friend wrote me

I guess one difference between Jim Crow then and Jim Crow now is that we have cool graphics to show how it's done.

YOU WORK FOR HIS BEST FRIEND

I’ll say it again: The folks in our public life most vocally obsessed with the idea of masculinity all very conspicuously act like an adolescent boy’s idea of a man, not an actual grown ass man.

They laughed at Barack HUSSEIN Obama for being dumb enough to give them $1.7 billion dollars, but they respect Mr. Super President Trump for giving them $300 billion dollars, they respect him so much
