The value proposition/priorities war the Bezos-Scott kids are being exposed to must be even more insane than we realize.

cut to: trump desperately trying to find a way to chicken out and discovering it simply does not exist

Let the Mammoth Bonsai Auction for the Bonsai Garden at Lake Merritt begin!

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

i feel like this is all happening cause we stopped pumping up the jam

omfg that Rhys Carre big man try!

… 6. US asks Ukraine, which is under Russian attack, for a hand dealing with Iran's Russia-assisted drones. This seems suboptimal! _Deeply_ suboptimal, in fact.

i’m only in the 22nd minute of wales v ireland, but love love love the fight from wales right now. #sixnations

this is literally what happens every time there’s military conflict, especially in the mideast. So the question is… did the Trump Admin NOT known this, or do they just not care?

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

Strategy is fundamentally all about developing a sophisticated theory of the mind of one’s opponent. With MAGA’s Iran Adventure, guess we’re going to see what a modern war almost totally devoid of anything we’d call “strategy” looks like.

The Crook-In-Chief robs the US of $1.6 BILLION with his (paid for) pardons alone. That's only so far and he's only getting started.

A reminder: ICE didn't leave Minnesota. The media isn't covering it, but the U.S. government is still terrorizing its own people.

WHAT A JOB BY ARCHIE!!! #coys

THE PLOT THICKENS!

Wait, I thought Marco Rubio was also the "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas" which is a very real job.

Got my first robot HR screening interview request, scheduled a time with the bot, and then... the bot never called? HAVE I BEEN GHOSTED BY AI?!

I may be even more weird, but I even use my airpods when I am on the phone at home... alone... WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE

Meta switching to JUST reporting proper link clicks is great, but one hopes your agency and performance teams were already aware of the broader Meta definition, and were only looking at their "Link clicks" KPI for calculating CTRs and CPCs, etc. already... adage.com/technology/a...

bro stop asking LLM to explain LLM 🤦‍♀️

They’re still lying to us. www.startribune.com/close-to-650...

We've lost so many damn elections partially because voters believed the federal government couldn't pay for our social programs.

Meanwhile Trump and his family are sitting on a pile of billions of dollars worth of emoluments and his administration is murdering people and violating court orders at a blistering pace and not one single consequence for him will ever even be discussed.

I know this is very funny but also pretty striking that our government lies about literally everything, including stuff that's easy to prove. Any Dem who ever sits down to make a deal across the aisle with this captured Congress, you're a dope.

WHY DID NONE OF YOU TELL ME ABOUT THIS (except you, @petesegall.bsky.social)?! defector.com/don-delillo-...

Trump Wins $60 On Kalshi Betting He’ll Bomb Iran

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

It's not just casual users that are anthropomorphising AI – professionals, the media, and law firms are doing it, too. What kind of problems is that causing? My debut analysis for @techpolicypress.bsky.social

The reason this guy can’t explain what the war is about is he can’t remember anything and is so totally gaga that he is unaware even how gaga he is and sits around self impressed laying our world to waste.

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

NOT NOW, MYSTERIOUS (to me) DISEASE

My opinion: Jamelle Bouie is the best national political columnist in America. This doesn’t mean he is always right or you always need to agree with him. But he consistently elevates the form. Conservatives and liberals who make deranged personal attacks on him just make themselves look bad.

Sad she couldn't find her "I don't care do U" jacket to wear.

I often enjoy rashes created bymy... uh... *checks notes* "preventative skin treatment creams".

Since Elon is on his site throwing conjecture about First Nations and Native American people I should remind you all that he has first hand knowledge on the political capital tribal sovereignty creates. www.hcn.org/issues/57-5/...

If Platner wins the primary and s–– goes awry, you'll find me in a rocking chair with Blacksky (and others), muttering "we tried to tell y'all."

Looks like Criteo is the first partner (i've seen) adding to deliver ads in ChatGPT.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Just a quick reminder that Trump ostensibly launched this war because he was unable to negotiate a deal very much like the one he blew up just to spite Obama.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

thankfully not as ubiquitous as the “No way to prevent this” piece, but still almost always appropriate…

Just makes you sick to your stomach... 🦋 bsky.app/profile/seth...

This is just such an embarrassing way for a country to fall apart.

I hate it here.

Playing up to the man in ways he understands by showing him fake newspapers writing about his greatness and using him being on that high to help out the people of NYC is a prime example of why he's the smartest dude in game.
