Game changer. Was on it last night after another glorious night out in actual London, as opposed to the hellscape of the same name that exists exclusively in the fevered minds of online racists who hate their own country.

I’m calling it now: After Trump and this entire administration are finally gone, there needs to be a “slush-fund” to reimburse everyone who voted the right way in 2024 for our four years of pain and suffering. And yes, I’d like to be among the first to file a claim.

A very good way to deal with division-sewing grievance-politics conservatives

“lifted off” food stamps, “launched” into starvation

If Trump's options this weekend are go to his son's wedding or end the ceasefire in Iran, he should definitely go to the wedding. I never thought there would be a worse use of time than watching Don Jr get married, but here we are

That's weird because all the illegal immigrants *I* see don't seem to have much money at all. Trump's personal wealth, however, has increased 165% in the last 18 months. Musk's wealth has nearly doubled. I'm pretty sure the people with all the money are the people taking your money.

Actual footage of #tulsigabbard resigning. I spared everybody the chewing sounds, but just imagine that’s what’s happening in the background.

Actual footage of #JeffBezos talking about Ai and taxing the wealthy.

This is the best write-up of the $1.8B slush fund that I've read. It begins by recognizing that Trump has *always* abused the law to his own advantage. A great job by Anna Bower and Eric Columbus of Lawfare @annabower.bsky.social @ericcolumbus.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Prediction markets as a social cancer. I was happy to have @jathansadowski.com back on the show to discuss everything that’s wrong with them and why we need to get serious about outlawing them again.

a company claiming to be worth $1.75 trillion reporting a $4.9 billion net loss on $18.67 billion in consolidated revenue for 2025, all run by a white supremacist fake engineer with a head full of cottage fucking cheese I'm sure it will go fine

Trump took the Biden economy - the one The Economist referred to as "the envy of the world" but the media dumped on relentlessly for four years - and drove it right into the ditch without getting nearly the level of negativity Biden received in the press

Just a reminder to everyone: The idea that the Biden admin was engaged in "weaponization" of government was a myth dreamed up by Russ Vought. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-weaponiz...

This is one massive herd of elephants in the room, that our governments, the media, the establishment, are desperately trying to avoid acknowledging, as they plough ahead with their drive for maximal economic growth.

just absolutely clownish levels of corruption embarrassing clown shit country where every major institution has failed to keep pace with a buffoonish combover con man operating at a fifth grade reading level

Those people are having fewer children. And I hate them for it! - conservatives

Wrote about Elon Musk losing his court case because he took too long to bring claims—and why his excuses fell flat to the jury

you know, I sometimes wonder whether there may have been some long-term downsides to a political economy that loaded housing costs and student debt onto young people in the expectation that growth would probably come back one day yeah

Out of all the dogs we’ve rescued I think Bianca was the most angelic. Not a bad bone in her body. To see her in her home collecting all her toys onto the bed is a thing of beauty

It is worth noting that almost 15 months after the military genius Trump told the Ukrainians that they had no “cards”, the Ukrainians hit so many targets around Moscow in one night, the most heavily defended city in Russia, that only a map does it justice.

Misogyny. An important read. One movement has become “the single most important force uniting the American right, bringing together an unlikely constellation of pastors, posters, senators, preachers, influencers, podcasters, and fanboys,” Helen Lewis reports. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

"Despite recent declines in drinking, alcohol remains the nation’s deadliest drug — more deadly than opioids, fentanyl, methamphetamines, or heroin. Alcohol kills 178,000 Americans each year and sickens countless more."

As usual, Emma exposing both the lies, and just how much effort they put into making people angry

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

You say "operational minimum," I say "minimum viable scale," but the point is: 1) I hate being right 2) the point that a smooth, linear transition away from fossil fuels isn't possible is well known by the industry folks and analysts

I recently read that people who meditate for an hour/day are happier. Possibly because they live a life that affords them an extra hour/day to meditate

I’ve been waiting for some calmer analysis

Dems and mainstream media are trapped in a doom loop. When objectively scandalous things happen, the media waits for Dems to treat them as scandals and Dems wait for the media to treat them as scandals. Eventually everyone just moves on.

We've all heard about the massive energy needs from AI data centers, which too many hyperscalers are meeting with gas and coal, and increasingly about the enormous amounts of water they use. But this issue about their potential to create a giant heat island is new to me. H/t @pbnewman.bsky.social

the hardest working person at a wedding is actually the boyfriend of the maid of honor. they should be appreciated more

🇫🇮 FM Elina Valtonen: Ukraine should be integrated into NATO as quickly as possible. It's in our own interest. Ukraine has one of the strongest armies, a robust defense industry, and advanced modern technologies. Ukraine now holds the strongest cards, even in the American sense.

One week with Bumpy! Like any baby, he sleeps deeply and often – especially snuggled up to his Keeper, with a tummy full of milk. Rescued last weekend after his mother died in a territorial fight, he now has a family with us and a wild future ahead. www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/bumpy

In the end, making Putin threaten, moan and beg to hold his pissy little 45 minute parade, from which he ran away like a frightened schoolboy, revealed more about the real state of the war than anyone could have expected.

Sonny was left behind by his old family. He waited but they never came back. He got sick but he never stopped waiting. After saving him and building him back up we found Sonny a new family. Look at what it means to him now to belong somewhere again!

The only post-election discussion you will need. Incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and engaging. Perfect company for this Saturday morning coffee. 💙😊🧡

Cursed to scream this into the void forever but: this is an absurd comparison and tells you absolutely nothing at all about whether aggressive deregulation and The Free Market results in a lot of clean energy @ramez.bsky.social should 1,000% know better than to say something like this A short 🧵
