The hallowing out of the middle class and the economy. We are at a precipice. My take here. kpmg.com/us/en/articl...

I just injected this into my veins and haven't been able to stop laughing for over an hour now. Please help. 🤣

Remember when the MAGA dipshits we’re complaining about unelected bureaucrats?

Nobel Peace Prize talk right here

On the way to the airport and the driver asks where we are going. I said “Korea”, they then ask me “North or South” ?!? 😣

he's weak and getting weaker Dem leadership, act like it!!!!!

This is the thing that makes the early corporate reaction to Trump so completely incomprehensible. A huge number of businesses went "well I guess one guy's posts are more important than basic rule of law or our customers' values, seems fine". Lotta executives just deluding themselves.

Best quote from the article 👇: “I’ve seen better organized riots,” said Rep. Sam Liccardo (D., Calif.), who represents Silicon Valley. Liccardo’s phone was lighting up Friday and Saturday, with anxious executives at small tech companies worried about how the changes would affect them.

I think he's insincere about this stuff. I don't think Gavin Newsom has been sincere about anything in his entire life. It's not a mode he operates in anymore than Donald Trump has ever been compassionate.

It’s the guns

Would anybody have made any connection to Charlie Kirk at all? Pretty cowardly stuff from Apple these days.

Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

Dear Disney: Maybe think before you act?

In most Asian countries, taking care of parents as they age is a family responsibility, unbreakable and enforced by societal norms. In Nordic nations a minimum safety net is assured by government for the elderly. In the rest of the 1st world, we have neither so ugly outcomes like this are inevitable

Insurance companies need to start charging higher premiums to people who think Vaccines are a choice

This lawsuit was led by the same lawyer who won a $243 million award in a Florida lawsuit on wrongful death due to Autopilot. I'd be surprised if the family of this other Autopilot victim settled for any less than $243 million, which is 21% of Q2 2025 net profit.

In all seriousness, high profile people need to start reacting to this gaslighting, it’s getting out of hand. They are going to boil over the country.

I guess I am not the only one using this logic -- Garry Kasparov who saw Putin transform Russia has the same view: the only way the actions we are seeing make sense is if the perpetrators do not expect to face consequences that come with elections

Seems noteworthy that OpenAI is now forecasting les revenue from business users and more from consumers. Hard to see why we should believe that this technology is going to replace vast numbers of jobs if even the people selling it don’t seem to anymore.

Personally, I would not mess with the Poles.

Incredible how conspiracy fueled, illogical conservatives can transform “wimpy”, “gun hating”, “crunchy”, “weirdos” into skilled assign in a blink of an eye.
