There's a reason Disney lost $4 billion in market cap in 2 days for suspending THE FUCKING MAN SHOW GUY

"AI-related investments have already surpassed the level that telecom hit at the peak of the dot-com boom as a share of the economy. In the first half of this year, business spending on AI added more to GDP growth than all consumer spending *combined*." www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel. First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

I'm gonna shake the table here: Boycotting means boycotting them little football games. Because see, Disney is doing this to curry the favor needed to get that ESPN/NFL deal approved. And a lot of people either don't know or don't want to know that's a bigger deal than some Star Wars/Marvel.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

Love this

NEW: The Pentagon told journalists it will require them to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release, and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey. @washingtonpost.com

Her name is Freje Jernise ❤️

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

I have to keep this deliberately vague, but this is a total disaster for academic research. And imposing it so suddenly is just cruel. I’ve got friends scrambling to get back to the US before midnight tonight. Do you know how hard that is to do on 36 hours of notice?

You bitches don't even know the difference between vintage and archive...is a fucking word

$1.25 beers to go, RIP

Unique Grocery getting raided feels exactly like the tire shop on Claiborne getting raided. EVERYBODY knew what the fuck was going on and had been going on at that store for as long as I've lived here. The feds pick the lowest hanging fruit and want a pat on the back. Weak sauce.

Been seeing videos of Palestinian children being murdered for 2 years. Children dying in school shootings didn't raise concerns. George Floyd's on camera murder didn't raise concerns, and in fact some of you got "protest fatigue." Respectfully foh

I know a lot of brands did wild shit during the 2020 uprising, but I'll never forget Ben & Jerry's making a defund the police graphic out of ice cream scoops; at the time I imagine they meant it. www.latimes.com/business/sto...

Someone needs to put a new light-bulb in Melania.

Everything about this Cardi & Kelly interview brings me joy.

The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade speaking of the homeless last week: "just kill them" www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

New lawsuit filed on behalf of one cisgender woman and three transgender people alleges staff at a Louisiana immigration detention center engaged in routine rape, assault, and harassment, including a forced labor program for transgender detainees

Every institution that has rolled over will regret it, they helped sow these seeds. The cowardice has been profound and the eye of Sauron now aimed at the last piers of free society. As was predictable when the first law firm caved.

Just take a moment. The whole thing is a scam. They are terrible at governing. Terrible. And all the noise is to distract from their fundamental incompetence in governance.

Tonight, DOJ dropped still another assault case. This time it's a woman who allegedly spit on a deputy U.S. marshal, and, when asked whether she had done that, replied “I sure the [expletive] did. And I’d spit again, you [expletive].” DOJ has charged her with a misdemeanor in local court instead.

DOJ has moved to drop the charges against still another person accused of assaulting law police during Trump's D.C. surge. This case involved a man who allegedly tried to flee from ICE agents, causing one of them to scrape his knee. (The normal number of cases DOJ drops like this is near zero.)

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

WHAT THE HELL

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The police will call you about photos you post to private chats. They will do this almost immediately, it seems www.kenklippenstein.com/p/charlie-ki...

This man was picked up by ICE in Chicago's Archer Heights neighborhood on Sunday. By Tuesday he had already been deported to Mexico.

Imagine lowering the LGBTQ+ flag for CK this is so fucking offensive holy shit.

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

There's something I need all of you to understand, especially fellow electeds: what I have done cannot be exceptional. I ask you to consider your oath. Don't leave me out to hang.

They have the United States MILITARY carrying that man’s casket for processing off Air Force 2. Motherfucker served not ONE day in the military. He was a podcaster. Racism is POWERFUL

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

2 key points about the current events I have yet to see made: -Elon Musk reinstated Nick Fuentes X account, thus increasing his reach -There is reporting that Tyler Robinson's friends remembered him at 14 years old talking about Benghazi conspiracy theories. 2017. Radicalized how? when?

It is truly horrifying what is being alleged against the Trump administration in the Ghana case. Here is from an affidavit filed in the case today: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Folks, this is what leadership and moral courage look like. From Gaza to the case of Abrego Garcia, Van Hollen has been fighting the good fight.

Listening to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social genuinely struggle to read TCW's painfully terrible writing aloud was the (empathetic) laugh I needed today.

Is this a ratio record, on here?

I’m afraid I ran out of high road when they started posting pics of themselves with Skittles and Arizona tea after Trayvon was murdered

instructors! today is a good day to ask yourself this question again

The Nazi extermination programs didn’t begin with Jews. It began in September 1939 with the involuntary euthanasia of people with disabilities and the mentally ill under the Aktion T4 program. That’s how they developed their techniques of mass extermination.

the person behind this unhinged, anti-factual editorial is set to decide coverage at one of the nation’s major news networks

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

This week has been a long year. But you know what to do. 😍

this whole “thing reliant on the character-brand of this one person, now dead, will be EVEN STRONGER” is great because usually they’re just trying to convince their funders, who know it’s dead in the water, to cut them one last check

ah yes, who amongst us hasn’t used the fresh corpse of our newly departed husband for online clout less than 48 hours after his death
