NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

Noem will now be “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas” because we’re in the Marvel Universe.

We’re suing Instant Recovery, a Bronx towing company that has been breaking the law and scamming New Yorkers with illegal junk fees, overcharges, and cash-only demands.   No more taking advantage of New Yorkers stranded on the side of the road.

The VC community though it could do a better version of Wired/the tech press. It was called Future, founded by a16z. It was boring, impenetrable bullshit that nobody read and was soon shut down. www.businessinsider.com/a16z-future-...

One USAID = 1 month of war

@sfchronicle.com The sales call I just got from you was astonishingly bad. Felt like I was being threatened

Went to Apple's website to check out the new budget Macbook. 5 minutes later I've bought a Macbook Air.

Seems reasonable to me. The hobbling of TikTok's safety protocols for a messaging "platform" that isn't really that at all doesn't seem nearly worth it

Ah, yes, the invaluable wisdom of the markets.

Not an overstatement: smartest thing Apple has done in years.

Opened this indictment and a perfect movie plot fell out...

Buys a flourishing app, finds it difficult, can't be arsed, bins it variety.com/2026/digital...

Coming to the view that Just Salad's Crispy Chicken Poblano salad is worthy of a Michelin star.

Seems like a smart policy to me -- far bigger a threat to malicious posters than a Community Note lingering in purgatory until the end of time.

Wonder if Starmer realizes what a gift Trump is giving him here

On the 6 US troops who died at Shuaiba port in Kuwait: Troops asked for more drone defeat capabilities, none came. It was recommended that the makeshift tactical operations center not be used because it was hard to defend and concentrated too many troops in one place. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-st...

They had this last time, no?

Incredible Facebook Marketplace post

Erm, isn't this essentially a way to look up a stranger's picture and see if they have an OnlyFans account? Wired's framing here feels *really* strange to me.

The G.O.A.T., according to many

Boebert: Have you reviewed any Epstein files that were released that you believe reference or relate to those specific 2016 claims regarding the Podesta emails Comet ping pong pizza used as code possibly. Clinton: Pizzagate was totally made up. I can't believe you're even referencing it

That'll help with setting up a new government

This mural slaps. Literally turned around so I could get a picture.

This is actually how I expect the DOD-Anthropic standoff to end: with some unfavorable court rulings against the government and then a quiet retreat some months down the line.
