damn man i didn't realize this is what he meant by "a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you"

The Daily Show picked up on the fact that the person doing the closed captions was confused by Trump's "we love miners" statement at his latest rally.

“She walked down the aisle and out the door. People shouted at her the whole way. ‘Liar!’ someone yelled. 'Come back and answer the questions!’ shouted another. A few members of Congress joined in, calling after her as she left.”

Immaculate vibes with the Prodigy playing the Atari Jaguar (probably Tempest 2000)

they've got him set up on a laptop with someone's call of duty stream, and he thinks he's calling the shots on the ground

An overtly white supremacist administration

Also aimed at his own party and very likely a sign that his hold on his party has diminished to the point where he might lose this vote. So, yeah, I mean it's authoritarian I guess, but the target is not very smart.

Stop printing lies in the newspaper. There need to be consequences for printing lies in the newspaper. He literally says and believes exactly this, several times per day and on camera.

'A Christmas Carol' was correct that only a supernatural power could force a rich guy to examine his lifetime of inhuman behavior, what it got wrong was thinking that would change him in any way

I am not apologizing for calling Charlie Kirk a Nazi podcaster

The left is today. On the right is something I wrote about financial deregulation under Trump I. In 2023, we had a near-banking crisis the proximate cause of which was financial deregulation. This administration is repeating the same failed playbook again. scholar.law.colorado.edu/lawreview/vo...

Fucking incredible dystopian shit, comparing super rich people risking millions if not billions of lives just to make more money to people that risked their life actually building incredible things that would then make millions of dollars for super rich people.

this administration is deeply, deeply pathetic

Going on a national book tour with John Fetterman’s Unfettered called the “You Are Supposed to Think We’re Interesting Tour 2026”

You've been hit by a car and you're fading in and out. You ask the EMTs to price the ambulance ride. You get to the ER and tell the docs you'll need a price on each service before it's done. You get cancer so it's time to put treament out to competitive bid. I can keep going...

This is a great analysis of why conservatives feel persecuted for others simply existing or being acknowledged. It’s fear their identity and choices will stop being mainstream or normal. That’s why they get upset at Happy Holidays (acknowledging other celebrations exist) versus Merry Christmas.

The best moment in the History of the Word Caucasian came in a series of Supreme Court cases during the immigration panic of the 1920s. The Naturalization Act of 1790 said that only "white" people could be naturalized as American citizens, but that only raised questions about what counted as white?

🔥

pitch: make some new rules

Once again thinking about the time on Twitter where some guy was complaining about how a morning show don’t have any white people on it and I posted a picture of the morning show and it had 4 white people and one black person and the guy said “yeah but they wish they could fire the 4 white people”

The cost of Trump's tariffs continues to hit new highs in data released this morning—import taxes are running at a $350B/yr pace for the first time in history, nearly 5x what they were this time last year

remarkable

it feels like the techbros are having a contest to see who can sell the media on the most patently ridiculous idea, like whoever gets the Wall Street Journal to run a story on AI Water Bottles Transforming The Hydration Sphere wins a resin cube containing a lock of Jeffery Epstein's hair

It's not just lazy fiction, it's bad fiction. Consider the energy it takes to launch: - starlink sats are 1250kg, - it takes effectively 500 gigajoules to get that to LEO (41.25GJ for the payload but then you have an entire rocket around it). Let's pretend it had 8x H100 GPUs, using ~5kW 1/

So they *are* able to stop a ship in international waters and seize control of it without killing everyone on board? Huh.

lol, lmao

Is the NYT Editorial Board OK? It warns that we're sliding into authoritarianism...while also writing an editorial series (Pulitzer bait) urging Trump to work with Silicon Valley to turn the US military into an AI drone force. Palantir and Trump's anti-bureaucracy get positive mentions...
