Maureen Dowd was so edgy and cool to me when I was teenager. What an idiot she turned out to be.

Getting the sense that multiple people have never heard the term “Ayatollbooth” for describing Iran’s proposed transit fees thru the strait of Hormuz, but like, literally everyone I know in the oil industry calls it that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It takes away the joy of writing

Alito is like my Indian uncle, only difference is uncle is the immigrant. 🫠

Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility and I'll take the opportunity to once again say that trans people matter, their lives have meaning, and what's being done to them by so many politicians and people in this country is wrong.

Gulf countries in shambles

Easy one today

The only reason BlueSky even exists is that it's essentially Twitter methadone.

God, I am so, so bored of the tedious, pandering false umbrage at the suggestion that some roles require <gasp> expertise and education. At this point “elitism” is just the meaningless self-soothing mantra of trash.

The replies to this are maximum Bluesky

If you have Logan Webb

This is an insanely impossibly improbable development. Whether it happensl or not .

Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.

Can you believe she is not an American ?

Lol watch Trump when Hegseth says go hard as long as necessary

Freak out and sell everything

Of course. There’s always a grift. Gift link 🎁 giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... Traders placed $580mn in oil bets ahead of Donald Trump’s social media post on Iran talks

one of my related hot takes is that we should ban news networks from real-time updates of results. they can report results when the votes are counted.

Yep. The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.

These people do not care about the impacts of investments like this. Not to say that automating manufacturing isn't a good thing, but in a world where people need jobs to pay for their basic needs, WE HAVE TO DECOUPLE SURVIVAL INCOME FROM EMPLOYMENT *BEFORE* WE AUTOMATE THE SHIT OUT OF EVERYTHING.

The number of institutions/organizations I’ve lost total respect for in Trump 2 is something

Bruh. The inflation is going to be insane for the rest of the world

I am genuinely concerned if I will get to see my parents back in India again

This is nice . They needed this. Also, makes me feel better when India doesn’t win every cricket World Cup. Knockout competitions are a different animal

You know when he got elected , I was like “Are you Americans not tired of his shit from the first go ? Everyday was some bullshit “. But you know what? Median voters do not follow his every more every day. We are the losers who do.

This is also USAs most reliable ally.

A restless soul can never be at ever lasting peace

The running subplot that nobody is noticing right now is America’s allies gradually waking up east to west on Monday morning and announcing that they’re not coming to help Trump fix his problems

Has Hegseth called USA his fatherland yet?

Or maybe you should pull out ?

First domino has fallen
