Who knew all it took to get a job as a top federal prosecutor was to show up in a suit?

if I can give a piece of "theory of change" advice: never never never make a purchasing decision to stay away from a brand for ethical reasons *without letting them know that's what you've done*. they don't have a way to know otherwise. spend 5 minutes and send an email to the company.

Still think they need to fire Briatore. Preferably into the sun but I'm flexible.

I continue my years' long campaign for the race director to be able to do an all-driver radio broadcast to instruct them when needed. If you throw a VSC and tell the drivers to stay on one side of the track in the area, you can get a marshall out to safely grab debris and not need a red flag.

@noraprinciotti.bsky.social @elizablackstock.bsky.social MAX CALLED OUT PIERRE'S (likely) HAIR PLUGS on F1 YouTube 😂😂 youtube.com/watch?v=BQr0...

I also don't buy the mentality you have to be a total shit bag to be the best

I don't think it's "wrong" that McLaren asked the drivers to swap I just think it's unbelievable. This intra team rivalry is the kind I've not seen before. I don't think you have to be ruthless to the point of vicious to win. I like this good-spirited fairness.

is it... wrong? To try to make a title fight between teammates less toxic? I feel like we are cheering for blood and a Lewis/Nico style full detonation

Norris says he'd do the same thing but he moaned for about ten laps the last time something similar happened

@robertmays.bsky.social This should move Green Bay's Super Bowl odds more than the Micah trade 😂

@zackklapman.bsky.social belated answer "The Bear is considered a comedy because the show’s producers see it as one. The Academy doesn’t actually enforce any definitions of what a comedy is...& allows the team behind shows to determine what category they will enter" www.forbes.com/sites/tonifi...

Love this guy’s work on Law and Order

@elizablackstock.bsky.social Is there any concern that Bottas' likely move to Cadillac will slow Kimi's growth and, if so, will or should the ability to be a mentor to Kimi factor into Mercedes' pick of a 3rd driver?

Welcome to MAGA Summer School! Today's lesson: De-woking the Declaration of Independence

3️⃣ years on from THAT tweet.. Piastri vs Alpine points scored since the start of the 2023 season:

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.

If Trump wants to truly distract Americans, all he has to do is keep his promises

The Ghislaine move is quite brilliant: They talk to her privately and offer her a pardon if she plays ball. She has the most info on the system of anyone alive. Therefore, her words -which will surely exclude DJT- will be sold as the complete truth. This is all the worst.

Confused about who decided to pause weapons shipments to Ukraine? Allow Trump to explain

Trump's Nobel Peace Prize nomination from Netanyahu is like a Husband of the Year nomination from O.J. Simpson

Alonso saying that if he could change one thing about his whole f1 career it would be to appreciate and stay in the moment more when the good times were rolling in might be one of the most important things he ever said.

No it can't

Sauber did not have any champagne ready for Hulkenberg's podium, so they were lent some from Mercedes so they could celebrate in a rather nice gesture. #F1 #BritishGP

Sauber built a car for combat

There is not a SINGLE use case where you should ever ask for a chatbot summary of a CONTRACT. The devil's in the details! It's always in the details!

Piastri had a scary moment when Alpine driver Franco Colapinto accidentally forced him onto the grass while Piastri was lapping him. Then Pierre Gasly was unaccommodating at Turn 1 while Piastri lapped him late on, which prompted Piastri to say this over the radio:

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

To jump on this point, here are places that have implemented some of these radical ideas: City-owned groceries: Erie, Kansas Free buses: Akron, Ohio Ban on noncompete agreements: North Dakota

I miss the days when Q Anon was the craziest thing going on.

Our DHS head is a 22-year old who has almost no security experience and now two Dem politicians have been assassinated. This admin's argument against DEI is a collander. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

I know it's off the beaten path and some viewers hate it but I'm glad we use our platform to spread awareness about the weird times we live in. We tried to stay objective here and let the expert lay down the facts. Many shocked us. youtu.be/4A01_kGoY14?...

I think Vasseur is doing fine. Ferrari are still holding onto some systemic issues but I think they're in a far better place than they have been and could benefit from stability

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

This is the ultimate cost of letting Business Idiots control the media - you orient everything away from the actual product (writing stuff people want) toward making stuff that ranks high, that "goes viral," that "is optimized for social." And it either never works or only does so temporarily
