Waking up to find Donkey Kong 64 on my Switch like

We may be in a permanently lower new-car market due to high prices. But when people do buy cars, they look at these gas prices and say "no thanks" www.wsj.com/business/aut...

and if there's one other thing that nobody in America cares about it's the price of manufacturing aluminum cans

I did not have this on my bingo card. RIP. 🔌💡 www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

History is full of great men who stared at an abyss before them, raised their lance, and charged right into it. Defeatism is a choice. But a little courage goes a long way, and it’s contagious. Choose to fight for the country’s soul, and you’ll be surprised how many join you. 👇

oh my sweet mother of g-d

One of the reasons I've declined to engage in "Project 2029" efforts thus far is my view that it's too many wonks trying to keep policy and politics separate. People who just want to "move on" vs. enforcing massive accountability for 2025-2029. Bouie is spot on here. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/o...

A comedy in five acts: 1. Iowa elects a Dem governor 2. Dems win a 51-vote majority in the Senate 3. Fetterman goes independent and caucuses with the GOP 4. Chuck Grassley is 93 years old ENTR'ACTE 5. Dems regain a 51-vote majority in the Senate

"Yet the coal plant has been offline for repairs since the end of February and is not expected to start running again until this fall." Lol. Lmao. www.canarymedia.com/articles/fos...

The “Welcome to a16z, Jared Polis” blog post is gonna melt this site.

It's probably safe to just go ahead and block anyone who replied to this

You do not, in fact, have to attack Governor Kemp for allowing the gas tax suspension to expire. It's a terrible policy and the worst thing to demagogue. You can just attack him for supporting Trump's war of choice in Iran, which has jacked up gas prices.

"Kia’s hybrid models saw significant growth with Sportage Hybrid (+171%); Sorento Hybrid (+101%); and Carnival Hybrid (+32%)....electrified models (+133%) delivered the highest monthly and best-ever May year-to-date sales totals in company history." 🔌💡🚗 www.kiamedia.com/us/en/media/...

Democrats should loudly and repeatedly state that any government equity stake forcibly taken as a condition for merger approval, permit, or continued support of an existing grant or loan agreement will be returned to shareholders in the next administration. www.semafor.com/article/06/0...

I feel we could solve many societal ills by instituting a minimum 5-year sentence for anyone who leaves more than one 45 lb weight on either side of machines at the gym

In America they teach most kids the Great Potato Famine killed millions in Ireland and prompted mass emigration to the US. They neglect to teach that same famine nearly brought down the entire Continental political order, and precipitated the rise of Napoleon III, and German/Italian unifications.

said this in a work email last week and, uh, shared my views with one of my groupchats.

Couldn't happen to a nicer regime. Truly.

The next admin needs to make auto affordability a priority and that only happens through production of smaller and cheaper vehicles. Focus on expanding transit would be nice too, but the Biden experience shows Dem coalition politics and decrepit local administrative capacity can’t deliver it.

Democrats need to prepare themselves for unprecedented and previously unimaginable levels of records destruction. Vought will ensure paper trails are wiped clean, with pardons dangled for those doing it. Or they'll say Grok did it and you can't charge an AI with the crimes.

I would have simply found a way to get all the ships moving and out of port before they all became crusted with barnacles www.ft.com/content/28c8...

Congratulations to everyone who fell for it yet again.

Herding dogs are the absolute best. It’s just a fact.

Wake up, babe. It's Christmas in May.

Today is the last day of May, and there’s still no deal to open the Strait.

Climate folks are jumping on this, but IMO California’s refinery situation is dire enough to warrant a healthy dose of pragmatism. It’s not just about Hormuz, but recognition that the political fallout from in-state economic pain could hurt climate objectives more than this O&G concession.

As beautiful as the string of cancellations was, his reaction was actually more sour and pissy than I could have hoped for. It is in fact absolute cinema

Courts will block this move and reaffirm grant programs are to be free of political interference, but: 1. Let’s dispense with this notion that grant awards and oversight were ever free of political influence 2. Everyone should assume political primacy over merit in selections moving forward.

this is just so unbelievably sad and pathetic

I can tell you firsthand that pay wasn't an issue for hiring strong talent and getting things done. We hired plenty of capable people, the challenge is lack of financeable projects. This just ensures more corrupt hires. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

Meanwhile RW media appear to be completely melting down over Martina McBride.

LME spot aluminum ($3660) and the Midwest premium ($2560). In other words, the *premium* paid by US consumers of aluminum continues to rise even as the global benchmark sets new records. That’s a 70% premium. It’s completely nuts. 🔌💡

I think it's fair to say we're closer to a deal now than we were two weeks ago, even if it's still not as close as what the WH is projecting. Also fair to say that the acute consequences of Strait closure are imminent in a way they weren't two weeks ago, even if markets still don't price that risk.

This is going to be a nonstarter. Canada will go to Europe, Mexico to China. And after the midterms, the Trump negotiating team will be seen as toothless.

The thing about Chevron and Exxon saying we’re about to face genuine fuel shortages is these companies take corporate responsibilities seriously, and generally make measured forward-looking statements. This is not a bunch of tech hucksters trying to hype their preferred reality into existence.

Going after one of the most unoffensive, wholesome entertainers in the music business. Going great.

Holy f***ing s*** they lost Martina McBride. They’re absolutely cooked.

"They said Kid Rock could only endure a single night's performance but by the greatest of miracles he performed for eight nights."

July 1 is well past the "everyone actually starts running out of s***" catastrophe scenarios.

Critical minerals startups have been asking me for federal funding advice since I left DOE last year, as investors increasingly expect them to cut deals with the Trump admin. My advice has been consistent: Be very careful on deal terms and conflicts of interest. This is why. A reckoning is coming.

Seems like Thiel is making a pretty easy case to denaturalize him and seize his assets.

"At Ford, many dealers are irate after the automaker scrubbed its lineup of all sedans and cheaper SUVs over the past few years." Nobody is making a US-assembled <$30k ICE vehicle from scratch anymore. Only EVs can achieve that through modularity and platform scale. 🔌💡🚗 www.wsj.com/business/aut...

I've noted previously my suspicion on why the party ID'd "proud to be American" numbers don't shift proportionally when the presidency flips...is Dems feel shame about the state of affairs while Rs feel the Dem POTUS is illegitimate and not representative of *their* country.

Thankful that staffers are starting to speak up and good investigative journalists are digging in. This confirms the rumors I’d heard regarding Vulcan’s quick-turn deal with OSC. No Series A startup warrants a commercial financing agreement.
