The people throwing trillions at AI have decided that the depth of skills needed to make it significantly better than current search engines are just too many trillions away. Like all people far over their skis (like Trump and his people now) they are at their most violent state.

It would be swell if we could do this election counting like everyone else. Pretty please. Yay Nithya www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/u...

Yes. Of all the things, this is tyranny. The number of crybabies in this gang defies gravity.

Barack Obama. Got two words for you: GAME 3

I just want to point out to any game three Knicks ticket holders that “JEFF-REY EP-STEIN” reads out beautifully to a classic five clap crowd chant

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Don't generally post about clients and their work, but Shan Jiang's film is premiering this weekend at the Tribeca Film Fest. It's a queer romance that she somehow managed to make guerrilla style in Shanghai. If you have a chance to see you won't be sorry www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

It's so cool that Stansbury is doing something good for the nation and the comments are like "but why doesn't Bondi have an ankle bracelet already?!?" We are in the midst of the largest coverup in global history. To deal with it takes the ability to draw a narrative and prosecute the whole thing.

A reminder to people under IDK 40. Kevin Hassett has the lowest chutzpah / stupidity quotient of a generation. He made one of the dumbest predictions of all time in big bold title font. And was wrong on every single reason. He is now Trump’s key economic adv & saying again stocks are undervalued.

This is what’s called a narrative. Politicians should, but rarely do, incorporate this into their messages to voters. Among the few who have displayed this skill: Jon Ossoff Joe Neguse Gavin Newsom JB Pritzker Seth Moulton Madeleine Dean

Maybe it's just Blueskee libs. Maybe you think it's only coastal cities and Minneapolis that feel this way. But history suggests that it's extremely likely that the vast majority of people are ready to do something real with these billionaires.

Have you read Ganz's book? You should. He's right throughout it and he's right here. And if Maine Democrats nominate Platner you better hope they vote for him in the general. He's lightyears better than Susan Collins.

I will never understand how the most cringe people on earth think they should even fight, much less believe they can win, a culture war. "They've been wanting a ballroom for centuries" good god www.nytimes.com/2026/06/05/a...

The New York Times is not paying any attention Donald "Nero" Trump. The whole point is for the planes to fly through the arch. He believes that's what the audience is demanding www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Oh? What has been accomplished so far with that empty lot? Has someone done an audit? How could it be on time when scheduled completion date has not been announced? There’s a budget? Maybe there’s a person in the administration that could let us know what that is.

It is something that potential control of the Senate rests in large part with candidates in Maine and Texas that seem custom built to fit the other’s state. Political recruiting is as old as this country but maybe a little more work was called for.

exactly the right response

Imagine you were up for any white collar job at all and this is the best recommendation you get.

For non Angelinos, Monterey Park is way more famous for dim sum than any kind of leftist. Fuck data centers and Silicon Valley, like your boy in the White House, you have pushed and pushed believing you have beat gravity. Get ready. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/u...

Imagine being in a bar with Jalen Brunson and Scott Pelley. Thats a lot of free drinks

Takes a special kind of person to have a meeting with a veteran 60 Minutes correspondent in which you take the position that you're not answering questions.

It is only “the left™️” that can suitably say the following: to love America is to love the ideas that fueled the Constitution and the Declaration. This is not nationalism, it’s the opposite. It’s believing that our power arises from people, not industries. Not a Court of wizards or a ballroom.

Think about the aftereffects of this. - Russia has a sustainable lifeline when collapse was previously on the horizon - China decisively becomes the lead superpower - Israel's govt collapses but inevitably becomes even worse - European economies go into deep recession - Japan, South Korea go nuclear

It's not enough for you to accept the destruction of the institution you helped build, you have to like the people who are destroying them

Trump: They have already agreed to give up their nuclear weapons” Reporter: Have they? Trump: Oh yeah. They could change their mind but yeah they have. Leadership like this who needs success anyway. It’s overrated!

Look at this garbage. In this Trump term and its GOP controlled Congress is there one single thing better? They’ve even managed to help ruin the World Cup.

Really rubs in how the goals of Republican Party elites on the periphery of the MAGA regime itself (as opposed to in its core) are fundamentally just more genteel and orderly versions of the same thing. John Roberts and Larry Ellison want an oligarchy where conservatives rule with impunity over us.

LA. Spencer Pratt is going to be in our goddamn inboxes for another 5 months. Against Karen Bass. That’s some extremely weak sauce. Y’all might have taken 10 minutes and filled out your mail ins.

There is no law & there is no legitimacy anymore. Congrats again to Chief Keyser Söze, who has now passed even Roger Taney as the worst, most corrupt & authoritarian Chief Justice in American history: bsky.app/profile/mcop...

The SCOTUS has become so bold that they went from "This is the outcome we want, so we'll pretend/twist the law to fit the decision we want to get to" to "This is the outcome we want, so we're not even going to consider lower court rationale, apply the law, or pretend like laws matters for our side."

I wonder if Jimmy Kimmel is trying to book Scott Pelley

It’s just racism. It simply is. Unbelievable power grabs that demand actions really not considered for many decades.

someone like bari weiss who is used to bullying low level reporters and adjunct professors into getting fired is not going to like how this plays out for her when the same tactics are applied to someone whose contract was written by high powered entertainment lawyers

Cassandras are rarely this convincing. It's almost impossible to believe that the incredibly poor thinking and arrogant beyond measure Silicon Valley plutocrats even know how to be honest. Well worth watching this 10 minutes.

Is it too much to ask the most evil, banal, drug addicted losers that make up the oligarch Epstein class of our nation and world to be good in any single way at anything they attempt?

It's corrupterer

There's little reason to second guess one of our top counterterrorism experts on this front.

Trump really has remade the whole conservative movement in his image. Weiss is just like him, a petulant power mad imbecile who can do literally nothing right and gets incandescent with rage anytime she is questioned, but also too much of a chickenshit to fire people to their face

This is amazing.

When precious little baby's fee fees mean more than geopolitical and financial disaster.

Outlandish but utterly unsurprising corruption.

Los Angeles go to the beautiful Nuart Theater and check out Ask E. Jean. It’s not often you get to see a hero right at her height deadline.com/2026/05/e-je...

It sure would be swell if the media would spend time in Maine and learn why Platner is so popular there. My parents were Mainers for decades and the entire place would tell you they’re weird and leave them alone. Super beautiful though. Here’s betting Platner will trounce Collins.

Someone should explain to Donald Trump that talking incoherently and endlessly is not a deal, is not art and does not stop Iran from having nuclear weapons. Oh, and it’s useless too.

For the love of god, vote for boring Becerra and let’s just have some competence prevail

Yes this is true but the central reason is that the modern media is desperately underpaid, fueling a lack of insight and making them incapable of doing more than parroting the loudest narratives fed to them.

Another clear centering of Trump’s emotions from a few days ago: the number of headlines and articles that referred to E. Jean Carroll that referred to her as an “enemy” or “adversary” rather than “victim.”

Sure he’s a lunatic. He’s lots of other criminal things too. But mostly he’s a spiraling loser. It is time to stop dunking or worrying about his words and act on the need to save our nation. Right now.

Let’s put this in the camp of “really, who gives a fuck how our president feels”. The whole thing that Fox News has done to America is to convince everyone that the only things that matter are feeling sorry for yourself and worrying about the state of mind of people who have power.
