Donald Trump has announced that he is suing “E-mail”

If I was running for Congress, I would promise to appropriate money for USAID, b/c as far as I am concerned it remains an agency as no-one repealed the statute that created it in 1998. It blew my mind at the time that we were like, yep, sure, we will just close an agency without authorization.

I’m seeing Tortoise tonight with the Chicago Philharmonic; Tortoise has been my favorite band for ~30 years since I first heard “Gamera” on WNUR; I’m elated to see them in such a cool environment with a cool ass orchestra

It’s worth noting (re: age and support of Israel) that Boomers told us millennials that we’d “grow out if it.” Now that we’re middle aged, there’s nothing to grow out of and we’re all like “hey, being Jewish is not contingent on supporting a rogue state.”

No Banda, no Watt, no Yates, and possibly no Charley. Orlando didn't deploy Elyse Bennett last week, but they might need to tomorrow night.

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Austen, Melville, Twain, Parker, Eliot, and Hawthorne couldn't have done it better

I don’t live in New York, but today truly is a sad day for *my* people: Italian Americans who love to grope.

As a consolation to our Canadian friends, Los Angeles will now embark on one of our greatest traditions: burning down the entire city with illegal fireworks

Look. Dodgers fans can be annoying, but this series was a legit all-timer. I was just rooting for everyone to have a nice time and ii am glad it went seven and went extra innings. What a series.

Just saw the ad for the latest in that Woody/Eisenberg magician heist movie series and said, out loud, “they made another one of these?” Lulu gave me this look and I don’t blame her.

Alex Morgan will always be a legend for two things: 1. When she exited games against the Spirit at Audi, she would walk by the supporters section and get booed. She smiled and gave it right back to us 2. This www.theguardian.com/football/201...

"No, I said I have a White National tattoo. It stands for Stephen Strassburg."

i'm still skeptical that this is real but if it is, sicilians are BACK

I'm super biased – Spirit season ticket member, purchaser of multiple Rodman shirts (two as gifts, one for myself), etc. – but you cannot convince me that there is a more charismatic footballer on planet Earth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dAg...

Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability. www.wheresyoured.at/costs/

I have been informed that Rolling Stone released a list of the best songs of this century and "Tracks (Tall Bodies)" did not make said list. It should have been number one.

Yeah it's that simple: OpenAI needs to build 3GW of data center capacity, which will cost over $100bn, and they need to do so in around a year. All three of these deals are based on unreleased chips too. Where the hell is the press on this? bsky.app/profile/hors...

"Of course it’s a relief that the families of hostages don’t need to live one more day in torment & anguish. Of course it’s a relief that more bombs will not fall on Gaza.

Why did Netanyahu not go to the Sharm el-Sheikh summit after first agreeing? Out of concern it'd be seen as a 'peace summit' in which he and the Palestinian president would have equal standing. And b'cuz he doesn't really want to concede that the war's over, reports Gili Cohen. x.com/kann_news/st...

So this is their new thing.

I’m not even a Zionist and I still think pointing to Neturei Karta as an example of “good progressive Jews” is like posting “welcome to the resistance, Fred Phelps” when the Westboro Baptist Church says “ACAB” because the cops kept them from interrupting a gay soldier’s funeral
