I think the real problem here is that a Member of Congress treats his own constituents with so much contempt that he only spoke to them directly twice in the past year

Really it means “all debt becomes harder to get” which means it’ll be hard for Oracle to raise the debt it’s already had issues raising. It likely needs at least another $100bn. It is trying to do something insane! It’s like building ten small towns! Except they’re for gpus. bsky.app/profile/jbau...

Perhaps there’s some way that he pulls himself out of the nosedive but people should be very aware that Larry Ellison is exceedingly leveraged and is trying to add a second unprofitable business to his life at a time when he’s destroyed all long term hope for Oracle. We have the setup!

The Ellisons are testing the very limits of even their incredible funds and the entire thing hinges on whether Oracle gets paid by OpenAI! Larry Ellison has $21bn+ in personal loans with his stock as collateral. Oracle needs OpenAI to pay it $70bn a year

I love that the "evidence to the contrary" is quite literally Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, aided by astroturfing segregationists and the media oligarch who owned Autotrader and Kelley Blue Book and invested hundreds of millions into Rivian, overturning the results of a citywide taxpayers' referendum

just want to clear the air on this, a fan suggested this as a sticker, so we made it. without realizing it was previously made or sold for charity. now that do, we took down the sticker and all the money for the stickers we sold will be going to the same charity! again, so very sorry over this!

What a delightful set of replies to scroll through tonight. Bobby Engram, and also we’re going to win.

we’re all in a fucking pressure cooker that is driving us mad, priming us to see threats and bad faith actors everywhere. and while it’s important to remain wary, our primary focus must remain on the people who are trying to destroy us. we only have so much energy and getting mad at posts is a waste

in 2026 i would like to see more people assume good faith of their comrades rather than immediately jumping down their throat over perceived slights

It might have been profiling but my suspicions about Agent Leprechaun were nonetheless valid

Then maybe she shouldn't have told him to stay in the race?

She’s confirmed what we all thought at the time: he couldn’t think straight because he was jacking off behind that lectern

Thread. And a reminder that even the most seemingly random, pointless thing this regime does is typically driven by vicious racism.

E. Jean Carroll didn't just "accuse" Trump of sexual assault. She won a civil lawsuit against Trump for sexual assault. A jury found that Trump sexually assaulted her. She deserves for us to call it what it is.

just had a late night thought realizing how deeply unpleasant the next iPhone prices are probably going to be as someone still rocking a 14 Pro Max with a lightning port

My first thought when reading this was, "He's awful. I wonder if he has a serious primary challenger this year," and... well...

THIS. Every third email is a phishing scam, every phone call is someone trying to get enough of my voice for a deepfake hostage call to my relatives, every text message is someone pretending to be the government or police or hospital telling me I’ve got an unpaid bill or a warrant out for my arrest.

I approve of the Dems' response to this, though

Concrete in the pool politics that so many people are totally unprepared to understand and analyze by choice.

types of mutual on social media: * your buddy you riff with all the time * someone you used to riff with but are pretty sure has you muted at this point * person you admire who followed you back somehow and gives you a jumpscare every time they like a post * we interacted one time years ago

ICE has a large transport bus at Delaney Hall right now as the hunger & work strike inside stretches into its 6th day. Activists had speculated that ICE would move everyone out of state to break the strike, destabilize their cases, and remove them from their families. Those inside know these risks.

At this point, thinking a PS6, whenever that comes, is going to cost under $1000 is just foolish.

Speaking of the economy…..

Talarico is willing to theologically go toe-to-toe with white Christian Nationalism. And, importantly, he treats it as fundamental to this moment that Trump and Trumpism are wrecking our common life at a very profound moral and spiritual level. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2109...

Two days ago a sitting US Senator was pepper sprayed for protesting ICE and it didn’t even become national news.

It’s all right there for the taking. Republicans are corrupt pedophiles across the board. They’re child rapists looking out for other child rapists. Rub their noses in the shit. They are sick fucks and they deserve to rot.

one of the funniest things about the east wing demolition is it happened 3 months before the MELANIA movie released which has a short segment where trump mentions that melania loves her little first lady office in the east wing and you just watch that with the knowledge its totally destroyed now lol

thank you to James Talarico for being a lightning rod to prove me correct on a national stage

"idk man it seems like a stretch that all of right-wing politics could just be porn-brained masculinity anxiety" they're gonna call him a sissy or a cuck on national TV within a month i PROMISE

Eid message posted by the Islamic Center of San Diego, in the wake of the shooting last week that killed three beloved members of the community

This is textbook racism. As in, this is an example that an elementary teacher might use to explain racism to a child: "If someone says all members of a particular race are stupid, that's racism, kids." Any news outlets that uses any word for this except racism is not reporting the truth.

GOD IS A CIS WHITE MAN AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNER FROM THE STATE OF OHIO. HE LIKES GRILLING AND CONSUMING MEAT, DRIVING HIS SPECIAL EDITION CHEVY SILVERADO, IGNORING HIS SMOKING-HOT WIFE AND THREE STUPID SONS (KADEN, CADEN, AND CASON), AND WATCHING THE CLEVELAND BROWNS LOSE TO THE CINCINNATI BENGALS.

Right-wing Italian politicians in the 1970s:

the lean-in and then pivot away is the point. it was the point all along. to allow this digital asbestos to infiltrate and then to blame students for using it and blame educators for not catching it.

Y'all not really falling for this shit again

It’s a Toffee Wednesday for those who dare test their luck.

Massive love to the house across the street from my kid’s school that not only did not take down their Halloween decorations but made it clear that the skeletons stand for equality

One of the most sickening things about Atlanta politics is how its elected officials appropriate language their parents used in the Civil Rights Movement specifically and exclusively for the purpose of funneling wealth from the working class to enrich themselves and billionaires who bankroll rhem

It's worth remembering that this is the Facebook post that got Suzanne Swierc fired. I have undying disdain for the many institutions that engaged in a moral panic over Charlie Kirk.

“Ms. Alfonsi remains employed at CBS, but with no contract in place, she said she had no expectation of returning to “60 Minutes.” “I’m not resigning,” she said. “If they want me gone because I did my job, they’ll have to fire me.’” — www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/b...

yesterday the company formerly known as facebook laid off 1,400 people in seattle. also yesterday mark zuckerberg’s $300 million yacht and its $100 million tender arrived in seattle

If the corporations are doing well and the people are doing poorly What you have is a hostage situation not an economy

The problem of an "economy" is the idea that corporate exploitation, record profits, and debt shelter is considered a reflection of economic health

My recent grad students are making the same amount per hour as I did 25 years ago. Rent is 3x what it was. Groceries have gone up 25% in the last year or so. I'd like to know who thinks all of this is just pessimism and you can think your way out of it.
