I love how this makes it seem like they stopped monitoring RFK Jr

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

I’m just gonna put this here right now. I won’t be voting for any candidate in 2028 who is not talking about universal basic income. UBI has become an imperative in the age of AI. The billionaires cannot be trusted to share the fruits of technology.

My YA SF novel EXTROPIA is out! In future Seattle the rich live online and the poor are locked out. A hacker boy in exile. A girl who's never seen the world. A corporation that controls reality. It is about what it costs to see the world clearly—even when you've been blind your whole life. #BookSky

The new LLM trained only on pre-1931 text is small enough that it can potentially run on device, so, with the right tools, you can get a fully vintage version of Siri, but from the era of Downton Abbey (also a small model). Here, I asked for it to arrange for sushi delivery in Philadelphia. Hmmm...

Everyone immediately assuming that an attempt on the President is staged is probably not a sign of a healthy democracy.

Is it me, or does the stock market’s daily reaction to the administration’s Iran “talks” seem a little gullible?

Trump and his sons have enriched themselves by over 4 Billion dollars since he came into office This is by FAR the most corrupt administration ever

More of this, less of bombing other countries (From @acyn.bsky.social )

Amazing! This is the line to get into Peter Buttigieg’s town hall in Tulsa tonight.

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war. Art of the deal, baby.

Iran dropped a new vid Trolling Donald J Shitler Trump and his admin and tell him THEY SAW IT ALL IN THE EPSTEIN FILES. (snip0 What Shitler did with children. 😡 And that Shilter is Stealing from the American ppl.

Megyn Kelly: I don't know about you, but I am sick of this shit. Can't Trump just behave like a normal human? "3-D chess." Shut up about that shit. We are talking about threatening to wipe out innocent civilians casually in a social media post. This is completely irresponsible and disgusting

Brutal.

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

Congress just convene yourself without Johnson, pick a new leader and impeach this guy

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

With our technological advancements we could already be post-scarcity. We could be headed for the future the AI optimists see, where humans don’t have to work, and could turn our time to art and leisure and climate rescue. But instead the billionaire Epstein class is going to ensure we all starve.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

I mean there it is.

So much winning 😕🇺🇸

This brings me to tears.

No Kings No Kings youtube.com/watch?v=pTYc...

No kings has gotten so many of my family members who have never done, like, anything to show up. Do I want my family to do even more? Absolutely. But this got them to take a first step, you know?

No Kings. Find your event for this Saturday, March 28th. www.nokings.org #NoKings

A Cambridge teen is the nation’s best junior épée fencer Sophomore at CRLS will compete in the world championships

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

Why is this only happening now? It should have been done decades ago. They won't pass it, they'll never give up the money they make while in office.

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

The dumbest fuck on the planet is President of the United States.

Schiff: "We are now giving Russia $140 million a day by releasing them from these sanctions when Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to better attack and kill American troops. It is rewarding Russia and punishing Ukraine."

Every tyrant meets his March.

I haven’t seen a single statement that the White House is outraged that they accidentally killed 165 kids

Brilliant 🏆 Isata Kanneh-Mason absolutely tears through Rachmaninoff’s fiendish Piano Concerto No. 3 with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops. CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

i know it doesn’t matter but i just want it on the record i acknowledge that by hitting schools and desalinization plants we are committing unspeakable war crimes and i, personally, think it’s kind of a major bummer

FRIENDLY ADVICE: Live your life so that if a rash appears on your neck millions of people don't publicly wish for your death.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

Just a reminder that Trump didn't just bumble us into an unnecessary war -- he deliberately created the conditions that he's now screaming about

So. Just politics?
