It was different back then. Sauron was still able to take human form.

Trump knows she'll be back for more abuse and revels in it. It gives him narcissistic supply.

A minor matter but Trump's obsession with Jimmy Carter shows that he lives primarily in 1979. He has no cultural reference points beyond perhaps 1985.

THREAD: The IEA global energy review 2026 * CO2 record high, but growth nearly ground to halt * Clean energy shaved 3bn tonnes off CO2 * Fossil-fuel power pushed into reverse * Age of Electricity "confirmed" * "Extraordinary" solar growth * Batteries up 40% * EVs up 20% 1/10

That they did all this to protect coal is all one really needs to know.

A very reasonable and healthy position

There’s always a golf course

It was different back then. Sauron was still able to take human form.

That’s because “AI” isn’t transformative; it is a specialized tool that can be useful for specific tasks in narrow use cases but isn’t useful for most things it is advertised for. No amount of marketing and money can change this.

FWIW, a majority of ski areas in the United States are on government lands. Examples: Alpine Meadows, Telluride, Breckenridge, Vail and Steamboat.

Hey c'mon, they love gossip, fashion, home redecorating, and gladiators as much as the next guy.

This picture is frightening

It will never stop pissing me off how much trump is going to walk away from this presidency as a “real” billionaire in a way he never was before, and it is going to be solely because of the public office

However low your opinion of the Roberts Court, it should be lower.

This is a really important point. It’s become clear that many of the conservative justices are as terminally Fox-brained as any garden variety red-hatted rube.

All I can say is that John McCain was an imperfect man who was one of the brave few. That's why Trump never stopped attacking him.

This 👇 Nine votes would be preserved, with justices selected at random from a large pool of senior justices (including the current nine).

So gross

This admonition applies to numerous world leaders. That a certain individual takes it personally is the ultimate tell.

Tell me they put partisan political hacks on the appellate courts without telling me they put partisan political hacks on the appellate courts.

They sure know how to legislate from the bench when it’s time to save coal.

what I think the Alito/Thomas not retiring thing suggests, if accurate, is that Leonard Leo is in their ear encouraging them to hold on. he probably has significantly more control over who gets the nom in a scenario where it's Trump/D Senate than he would right now

Trump loves stories like this. In his twisted mind it shows he’s strong and has leverage.

Extra rations of hard tack and quinine for everyone!

Trump loves this. He loves to be told these stories.

Food is woke

Who needs PACs when you've got crypto, sham lawsuits, foreign private equity 'investments' and myriad other scams?

And we, the edgelords, will reap all the rewards in a confidence game that we control, and that you will pay for.

people really don't like it when the rich and powerful tell them that their expectations for the future should be permanently and drastically lowered, is another way of putting this

Plus less norovirus!

Wait...wait...so he doesn't believe his own bullsh*t but his target market did?

Runs to Kalshi

Big Jim Brady was a third-rate noob.

Trump's persona has always been about the [air quote] rich [air quote] guy who didn't need to know or care about everyday things. The difference now is that his degenerating applesauce brain can't process his cons like before.

In a nutshell, a way for players to get paid for just showing up, and to funnel money to Trump.

So at the risk of maybe overreading this and making an educated guess, I think I can guess what specifically Wyden is talking about. I think it's about use of AI (LLMs) by FBI to surveil American communications without a warrant

Echoes of Billy Mitchell.

The Pope isn't Franklin Graham in more ways than one. He doesn't need Vance (or Trump). In fact, the Pope did Vance/Trump a solid by not coming to the U.S. this year.

Can confirm

It's also an existential question for Vance, but not the Pope. Vance's twisted version of Catholic morality is core to his political future.

My heart goes out to all the women coming forward regarding Eric Swalwell. In 1985, as a 21-year-old Intern in then Senator Ted Kennedy’s office, I was sexually assaulted by the Senator’s chief defense advisor, Thomas Longstreth. He was probably in his mid-30s at the time. wapo.st/4tmwCWo

He’s being attacked for preaching the gospel. That’s it. There is no ‘fight’.

sorry black people in the deep south, if you want your vote to count, you should become republicans!

Americans paid a collective $23 billion more to file their 2025 taxes after Donald Trump shut down the free tax filing program Direct File last year.
