Pretty classy message by the Norwegian Embassy. #WorldCup

Who should Maine Democrats choose to carry on Graham Platner's populist message? We asked five asset managers on a Backroads bike trip in Tuscany.

I'm old enough to remember when one of the popular right wing talking points about renewables was "why should we have to give up fossil fuels when India and China will undo anything good we do because they're going to burn so much gas."

Democrats should demand that Mitch McConnell produce his long-form life certificate.

SNL really knocked it out of the park by getting Aziz Ansari to play Kash Patel, because, man, Kash is the most Tom Haverford man to ever exist.

I’m trying to care. Truly, I am. But, so far, nothing is working . . .

So, hey, everybody in the news business, could you maybe stop saying it’s being “tested” or “strained”? TYSM

"This chess playing dog has so far chewed off a corner of the board, swallowed his own rook, knight, and bishop, and made 0 legal chess moves. Experts debate whether these are signs of a brilliant, previously unknown strategy, or simple consequences of being a dog that does not understand chess."

good to see that public contrition and self-reflection is still a thing that happens

That's SpaceX without Xitter and xAI which is really bullshitty on a day when the IPO combines all three.

Dolan really going above and beyond, a relentless campaign to remind New Yorkers that he sucks.

Will a single media outlet ask whether Trump inconveniencing a commuter cohort the size of the entire population of Wyoming, causing countless ebullient parties to be cancelled, and destroying hundreds of millions of dollars in business, is going to have a negative effect on his popularity? (Nope.)

As Trump and Putin's level of delusion grows, their ability to perceive basic economic and geopolitical feedback mechanisms that would encourage less psychologically challenged leaders to find a way out of self-inflicted strategic disasters rapidly diminishes

There's much talk these days about what's required for "real" intelligence, such as world models and the like. One thing we know about the human evolution of it: it required/requires emotion. That may have been better appreciated in 1938 than today. archive.org/details/in.e...

looks like they’re running scared

Incessant winning.

Musk says an hour of his time is worth $100 million yet he spends six hours a day angrily posting online every time a big budget Hollywood movie casts a Black person in a starring role. Curious!

"To the folks at CBS, in the words of the great Ed Murrow, good night and good luck, motherf* kers."

These right wingers openly wishcasting that China will do what Trump has utterly failed to do are something. www.ft.com/content/e7ad...
