I hope this means we'll continue to be able to buy foot long sandwiches without a background check. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Usually, "back to the office" mandates should have CEO's lead by example. And if you don't show up, you are fired. Not rewarded with even higher incentives. Can I get that "back to the office" BONUS as well??? Please?

@nytimes.com ia starting to resemble Fox News in their selection of facts to highlight in their headlines and pictures.

When beds malfunction bc of a DNS failure, I think there's some overly poor/over-optimistic engineering at play. Anybody should be able to sleep even with a failed DNS infrastructure (except for the engineers who screwed it up). PSA: Jailbreak your bed! github.com/throwaway312...

Scoop: I have a picture of what the new facade of the WH East Wing will look like.

This is awesome! 🚫👑!

Death penalty in Afghanistan (10 in 2025) and... Some other extremist state... (14). For reference, Afghanistan population is 42 million, that other state: 23 million.

Are they investigating him bc he was keeping NOTES, or bc he was doing so on an **AOL email** 😲😭??

A truly 🇩🇪 thing: having to finish your beer **before entering the bar**. Where presumably you'll have another one.

Ich glaub, das letzte Mal war ich vor über 30 Jahren in Hamburg...🤔1990? 😲

Quick: left or right? Which location requires more US troops to keep the peace?

Six surgeons general: RFK Jr. is a threat to the health of Americans. "Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk." From people who clearly know what they are talking about. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Holding 750,000 workers hostage. And their families. Sounds like a medieval despot's power trip.

Seems quite well founded discussion... www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

My first thought was: "there's now a Trump Hotel in Atlanta?"

À hint of sunrise.

I know what this will be called! 🇨🇦 had it first! It will be called the "🇺🇸 LOONIE"!!

Monarchies put living monarchs on coins. The US puts dead presidents on coins. So which is it? www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/b...

Coffee is up 22%. But now when furloughed Gov't workers and unemployed fed contractors need it most, you won't know how high it's going from here, cuz the Gov't ain't tracking it no more while the T47 imperial hissy fit shutdown is on.

T47 presidential library will be in Miami. (a) is there space to park a 747? (b) it will be the FIRST presidential library... to be flooded bc global warming...

Not ready to join Hegseth's army.

Picture of Toronto YYZ airport, seen from inside. In front of you is the path from F gates to D gates.

So the US single sided tariff war has lead to billions $$ of lost agricultural sales www.reuters.com/world/china/.... T47 will likely make farmers whole with revenue from tariffs. So manufacturing customers are subsidizing agriculture. That will surely help manufacturing grow in 🇺🇸. 🙄

Leaving Copenhagen. Which is in Denmark 🇩🇰. @aircanada.bsky.social is showing Dutch subtitles on the screen...which is the language spoken in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Really, @aircanada.bsky.social 😭🤦

Sunrise at speeds that, if the tendency is maintained, Acela 🇺🇸 will reach on the entire NE corridor in 2190?

Another random train observation: every time I see an ICE 🇩🇪(train, that is) or TGV🇫🇷 pull into the station, it looks like each train has as many cars as the entire rolling stock of Viarail 🇨🇦... And there's another one over on the other track... And they're full. (also late... But hey..)

How is anybody supposed to learn German if on the same advertisement board at the train station, they somehow can't figure out what a lemon is in German... ("leh-mohn"?) 🙄

No shit, @nytimes.com . And in other news, man does not bite dog.

Imagine that you could walk easily in your city, and wherever you need to get to a different place faster, you just hop on a bike, or go to an underground roadway, and have a car take you close to your final destination.... Paris is pretty close to that these days. Bikes + bike paths everywhere.

I think this is the beginning of the end of the T47 presidency...

"We would have to give a refund on about half the tariffs which would be terrible for [us]" says every scammer who ever hit poor grandmas up for their life savings...

Q: "What's your plan if Trump's tariffs are struck down by SCOTUS?" Bessent: "I am confident that we will win at SCOTUS." Q: "Are you prepared to offer rebates?" Bessent: "We would have to give a refund on about half the tariffs which would be terrible for the Treasury."

A new statistical method. Look left, look right. Count the number of unemployed. Aggregate up to one Hassett unit, publish. I'm sure our numbers next year will be much better.

I did have to check that it wasn't all of a sudden April Fool's Day, the WSJ isn't known for being of the funny kind... WTF???

Nothing wrong here. Soon at your nearest Smithsonian Museum, only 0.0001 T-coins for entry. www.gocomics.com/nonsequitur/...

More and more people are calling it what it is...

We should start emulating Mexico. Might increase the attention paid to Congress.

By telling the National Guard to prepare to quell uprisings, T is a bunch of "protection squadrons"... Hm, I wonder where he got that idea... www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u... maybe here? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzs...

Ha. Talk about credibility tanking... The deposit I made to my bank is ... from the IRS!

Fact check for this @newsweek.com article: the largest democracy is India, unless you consider Modi to be a dictator, in which case the US is also no longer a democracy... Putin should meet with the Indonesian president Subianto. On second thought, maybe go straight to Lula 🇧🇷...

@nytimes.com generated a graphic, addressed at France, that no person outside of the US can interpret without first whipping out a calculator....

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying." It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

What. The. Actual.

Put a useful idiot in charge of economic statistics and we suddenly get a reason to suspend our most valuable and reliable measures, just as the economy is slowing. It's cooking the books by erasing inconvenient numbers. Indefensibly destructive, economically harmful, and markets will hate it.

"The Bureau of Labor Statistics shall also collect, collate, report and publish at least once per month full and complete statistics on the volume of and changes in employment, as indicated by the number of people employed, the total wages paid, and the total hours of employment." US law--1913, 1930

DEF is out. Next, the EPA will require that every truck will have a button to roll coal, and that it has to be used 1x/day, because "coal is back, baby" www.thedrive.com/news/epa-tel...
