oops, Dow is not 50,000

Seeing the Waymos go around in circles made me realize that I needed to be way more intentional about the direction of our relationship. If you give me one more chance, I promise to be present at the wheel.

This is not cute or funny. These Waymos are in distress. If you see Waymos circle a neighborhood endlessly, the important thing to do is douse them in gasoline and set them on fire.

This is a completely normal mating ritual. It’s how they make baby Waymos

Dozens of empty Waymos invaded an Atlanta neighborhood and circled a cul-de-sac for hours with no passengers www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

The dismantling of USAID is a humanitarian crisis. Only the cartoonists are covering it.

DOW finally hits 50,000 again. Dementia J Trump bragged about DOW 50,000 months ago at his State of the Union. Investments are supposed to go up, not nowhere. And at 50,002 and falling, that mark may not last. That's why no sane leader would brag about a specific stock market number.

Market analysts expected China to agree to buy 500. 200 is a disaster. Art of the deal. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Old man, stumbling in the dark, banging into things, has no idea where he is, while doing enormous harm to the country, with his Congressional allies cheering him on.

Trump must have just learned that when Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap to his face, he was essentially calling the United States a nation in decline. Now, Trump is trying to spin it, claiming that Xi must have been talking about Biden. Really humiliating stuff.

“I apologize to all of America. I was a diehard Republican. I cannot believe I drank the Kool-Aid of Donald J. Trump. This man is ruining the Constitution of the United States. They're taking away the vote from the Black man. You see all the corruption, the lies that come out of this man's mouth.”

In fairness, given that he is ignorant about everything else, Trump probably knows nothing about the CIA coup in Iran in 1953.

And no one thought Trump could do it!

Kamala Harris calls for an “expanded playbook” to strengthen democracy—including Electoral College reform, Supreme Court expansion, multi-member districts, and D.C./Puerto Rico statehood. Republicans spent years changing the rules to entrench GOP rule. Democrats are now talking about fighting back.

Frederick Douglass knew. "If left to their own devices," he said in 1866, "white Southerners, by unfriendly legislation, could make our liberty a delusion, a mockery." @sifill.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social @esglaude.bsky.social

Not sure he should be talking about conmen in the federal government.

All of the CEOs traveling with Trump to China all have something in common, and it's not the interest of America. Here's what you should really know about Trump's trip to China. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-most-important-thing-you-should

A Failing, Flailing President Supplicates Xi open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

"We are experiencing a widespread GOP attempt to undo the Reconstruction Amendments that, along w/later civil rights reforms, form the constitutional foundation for our multiracial democracy."

Trump in China: A Case Study Of US Decline Trump going into this summit as a supplicant needing Chinese help. It also confirms how little the US cares and can do anything to protect key democratic allies. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/trump-in-c...

1) his speech writer is shit 2) he is falling asleep during the translation 3) he is so offensive it is clear there is no chinese expert there 4) he is bragging about the chinese slaves we used to build a railroad www.c-span.org/program/whit...

Bloomberg reports today "China-based companies in the clean energy sector have scrapped about $2.8 billion in planned US manufacturing projects over the past 12 months according to research by Rhodium Group" Chinese Companies Cancel Billions In US Investments cleantechnica.com/2026/05/13/c...

What we are seeing in China is clear and unmistakable signs of US decline. The US is praising Xi, refusing to defend Taiwan and desperate for Chinese help--and the Chinese know it and love it. This summit might be remembered in history as the end of the US Era. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Yes, another case of TALE: Trumpers Always Lie about Everything.

Wow, this is some high-level trolling from Xi. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/14/t...

It was almost axiomatic, years ago, that a war of attrition would mean an eventual Russian victory. That is no longer the case.

"I'm not a psychiatrist, I don't know if these are paranoid delusions, but...he seems to think that everybody's out to get him, and he believes things that are not true, let's put it that way." @radiofreetom.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on how Trump's delusions are getting worse.

I *am* a psychiatrist. The president has two major disorders right now: —lifelong Malignant Narcissism, which includes paranoid delusions (good call, Tom!) —Frontotemporal Narcissism since about 2022

For years we tried to tell em, if we don't China will lead the future, but would they listen?

Reporter: Do you agree with the President’s position that Americans' financial situations should not be a consideration? Vance: I don’t think he said that. I think that's a misrepresentation of what the president said.

Asking about Nancy Guthrie should be the reddest of red meat. This IS the FBI's job. It is a high profile kidnapping that took place more than 3 months ago and Patel has still found nothing. He should be looking for Guthrie rather than investigating Trump's political enemies.

Nearly 50,000 people in the Lake Tahoe area have been told that their utility will stop providing power to them, because it's redirecting that power to data centers. /1

Trump yesterday: "I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody." Vance today: "I don't think the president said that."

“I don’t think protest, despite the hardships, is even on the agenda for most Iranians right now,” an Iranian father confided. “Trump’s war has silenced people, and made the Iranian government stronger. At least for now,” the man added. www.cnn.com/2026/05/13/m...

Good riddance.

Racism makes it about race.

How it started How it's going

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

INSANE: “The network of industrial-scale fans needed to cool the datacenter’s hot pipes will result in so much waste heat that it could raise daytime temperatures in the surrounding Hansel valley by 2F to 5F (1.1C to 2.7C) & night-time temperatures by 8F to 12F“ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

WIC used to have bipartisan support because even Republicans said "Well of course we want to make sure pregnant women and babies have enough to eat, we're not monsters," but now they say "Screw those freeloading babies, we've got a gold-plated ballroom to build"
