when the buildings start collapsing in a few years we'll know what's happened

my pet theory is that this was the last truly great twitter tweet (literally one week before it got officially rebranded to X) and “jeff thinks the beans have to take turns” is the first truly great bluesky post (20 days later)

hahaha, that’s awesome - there’s something about old school Twitter that just belongs in cross stitch, it’s a great medium!

Dems just need to run this on a loop until November 4th

ok

Eating slave-free chocolate on passover

Sam Alito asking an extended hypothetical question about whether members of an Iranian sleeper cell would get U.S. citizenship is only lending further support to my theory that season 5 of '24' pickled the brains of an entire generation of Republican voters

i can't believe a republican president did what every republican president of the last 50 years has done (exploded the national debt)

back in my day, the worst thing that could happen getting caught cranking one out at the computer was personal mortification and not the ruination of your family finances

What do you call it when your war aims specifically targets one ethnic or religious group in a country? Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

Iran may have achieved regime change in the US

it's been 3 days since the largest single-day protest in US history

looks legit, good job gmail for letting this one get to the inbox

the art of the deal

I don't like this "put muscle behind his threat to do war crimes and achieve impossible goals" framing

the market doesn't seem to think Israel and Iran get a vote in whether 20 million barrels a day start flowing through Hormuz soon (nevermind that Trump's insane posts are essentially meaningless)

Read this and consider US stocks trade over 20X earnings and the 10yr yields 4.3%. Also, markets assume investors will have sufficient risk tolerance that $3 trillion of highly speculative IPOs (mkt cap) will happen soon.

something about this image speaks to me

The guy who bankrupted several casinos wants your 401k to be invested in famously reliable crypto and private equity assets

Kind of remarkable how nativism have done far more damage to business interests in the UK and US than any imagined left-liberal program of regulation and taxation could possibly do

Israeli law, in it's majestic equality, sentences Jews and Palestinians alike to death when they are tried in military court for "negating the existence of the state"

If Biden was setting up an East Vs West global Green Tech divide, Donald Trump’s commitment to the fossil fuels, erratic and unstable governance style and war (with it's massive energy shock) will likely push many countries to adopt Chinese green tech where previously they might've been tentative

This is the guy who came up with the “Trump Gold Card” to fast-track citizenship for people who have $1m to burn

if there's anyone I'm willing to give a wide berth when it comes to weird/questionable decisions it's bob, but... I dunno man

Never thought I’d see the President of the United States threatening to commit blatant war crimes on social media, but here we are.

RIP to the wonderful Glen Baxter

Iran has a clearer understanding of Trump’s market manipulation MO than most US political or financial analysts

Couple things: 1) People have legitimate issues with LLMs as a technology, but this “Attie” thing seems pretty innocuous (it just create feeds of ordinary, human-powered posts based on descriptions?) 2) It’s not really “enshittification”, and if anything it’s a cost to Bsky, not a revenue source?

What if we took a narcissistic dimwit blowhard, invested in him the globe-altering powers of the modern US executive, and surrounded him with sycophantic yes men, how might that go?

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

How many fucking times does this need to happen

I’ve said this before on the other place, but you absolutely cannot beat Jamie xx’s Idontknow as a running song (I’m also partial to the pandemic-era music video)

We must move past “is Trump trolling or is he serious?” There has never been a president that speaks so openly and publicly about his base desires. He would do it all if he could. The only important question is “what will constrain him?” nypost.com/2026/03/27/u...

Phantom Thread (2017)

Republicans in swing states, please don’t be deterred in focusing all your messaging efforts on Charlie Kirk-related issues. It’s your best chance in November.

I think he has no inner voice, it’s just white noise in there, so he has to say everything out loud in order to have what others might experience as a thought or memory.

2021 Republicans: How dare tech companies talk to government about moderating speech!!! We’ll create a whole false narrative about it and take it all the way to the Supreme Court! 2025 Republicans: We run things now so

“Nuke suicide vests” is absurd but the nightmare scenario Vance is trying to conjure (fanatical millenarian nihilist groups in possession of enriched uranium) is in fact made much more likely if Iran becomes a Libya-style failed state after regime change

I have permanently altered my algorithm, but it is worth it.

MASSIVE WIN: no one wants to live in the united states anymore

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

At first I thought this was just a vehicle for Trump’s personal enrichment, but you can’t argue with the results when it comes to maintaining global peace and international cooperation

they’re teasing the release of… ground troops? martial law? Trump’s latest crypto scam coin?
