You know what’s “hilarious”? Here I am, a guy who served as a US Air Force officer during the Cold War. And here’s the speaker of the US House (who never served in uniform) saying I “hate America” and am a “Marxist”. Sorry, Mikey, but you might be projecting just a wee bit.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Dr. Oz is a large investor in and global advisor for iHerb, a company that sells supplements for folinic acid, which is the the non-prescription version of leucovorin, the medication which is being recommended for the treatment of autism by Dr. Oz.

Annnnd there it is. Snake oil indeed. bsky.app/profile/leah...

Brendan Carr threatening ABC on Benny Johnson's podcast reminds us it was just a year ago we learned that Johnson and other high-profile right-wing podcasters were LITERALLY ON THE KREMLIN PAYROLL and everyone on the right said "Eh, whatever, no biggie" and they're still doing their thing.

So WHO pays the tariffs again? This won't affect most, but in the ham radio world Icom just raised their prices 15% to 25% on radios. Not a gradual increase, a "BAM" step increase. The increaes are being passed on by the retailers. WE pay the tariffs people! Glad I got mine back in March.

Here in south-central PA (Harrisburg) we have local TV stations owned by Sinclair AND Nexstar AND Tegna. Lucky us, huh?

i just checked Harrisburg area media outlets for the Jimmy Kimmel story. Interesting trend. WHTM (owned by Nexstar seeking to merge with Tegna) – Nothing on the homepage WPMT (owned by Tegna with whom Nexstar seeks to merge) – Nothing on the homepage WGAL, WHP, Pennlive – Homepage mentions

Our local ABC station, WHTM (ABC27) is owned by Nexstar. There is NO reference to Jimmy Kimmel on their home page. None. The Soviet era that some of us still remember has arrived.

This right here times a bazillion.

This is some serious Viktor Orban shit. Get your allies to buy up as much of the media as they can, and then bully and intimidate the rest

👍🤔

How bad is the news media in south-central PA (Harrisburg)? Election denier Heather Honey is from Lebanon County, right here in south-central PA. Did the local news media cover it? Only through an AP article. No local reporter covered the story. They don't want people to know she's local.

NOTHING TO ADD. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE AND CORRECT!!!

BREAKING: White House announces selection of new Commissioner of Labor Statistics

Whether it's Barack Obama asking for Dijon mustard from a hotdog vendor or Donald Trump asking for a happy ending from an underage sex slave masseuse, both presidents made some provocative requests.

And you thought egg prices were high? Just wait until the crude oil market trading begins. Does gas go to $4 or even $5/gallon (average) in the US? And how far will stocks drop?

NEW: VoteVets Responds to Trump’s Illegal Strikes on Iran

If you’re in favor of this military action, enlist. Monday morning. Enlist. You MFers will NOT get away with what you did during the run up to Iraq.

Too bad the United States doesn't have a 24/7 TV service in Farsi to counter the propaganda of the Islamic Republic and inform the people of Iran of the facts. Kari Lake, perhaps, we could call it the Voice of America.

It's not the fanciest sign, but it's mine. A little bit of protest, if you will.

And there you have it.

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social Maybe something for the God Squad.

I've been going through the Congressional Budget Office score of this spending bill. Did everyone miss this? Privitization of military housing the INCREASES spending?

Does anyone else see George C. Scott looking on?

Looks like the new Holy Father isn't a fan of JD Vance.

trying to imagine the reaction to two planes falling off an aircraft carrier with kamala harris as president

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

This right here.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Happy Easter

"The combination of interest rates soaring amid a slump and the currency plunging despite rising interest rates isn’t what we normally expect for advanced countries, let alone the owner of the world’s leading reserve currency. It is, however, what we often see in emerging-market economies."

Yesterday's "fake news" that led to the market temporarily popping over 1000 points was a test balloon. That's what gave them the confidence (in their money-making scheme) to announce the real 90-day pause today. SCOTUS is just fine with this. Total presidential immunity.

Someone *else*, I presume? Cowards all.

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

🗣️ YOU’RE GETTING HIT WITH 50% TARIFFS

Just received this message. The Trump admin is clearly doing "someone's" work, just not the work of the American people.

Martial Law. It’s the elephant in the room. It’s what authoritarians resort to when the tide turns against them. It’s what the authoritarian in this White House is setting the stage for. 🧵…

This administration has fired thousands of people for no good reason while every one of these idiots will get to keep their jobs. #noconsequences

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk. The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

Surprise, surprise!! Most of the office closures are in RED states. Leopards eating faces, etc etc.

Projection is a helluva drug.

Holy shit. This is *the* gold-standard measurement of atmospheric CO2 -- the one in all the charts.

Not sure who will see this, but remember that during stock market downturns, the markets usually (not always) go up on Fridays. Why? So people don't have the weekend to stew over it. Mitigates the impact of the overall market's decline.

Check out this perspective of the anomalous warmth in the #Arctic from last month, which really highlights its large amplitude. Temperature variability is smaller in summer due to thermodynamic processes related to sea ice melt. Graph from zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe.... Data from ERA5 reanalysis.

As opposed to the attempt to overthrow the government on January 6?

One of these things is not like the other.
