Fascinating Bloomberg piece about how AI is used as an excuse for downsizing, but isn't usually the real reason:
> “We’re restructuring around AI” is a growth signal. “We over-hired during the pandemic and revenue softened” is an accountability signal.

This 1940s insurance ad went hard.
oh ffs
Quiet part out loud, etc etc
Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

I just learned that the word for a train lover is “ferroequinologist.” I am delighted: train = iron horse.
Or more precisely, a ferroequinologist is a train *enthusiast.* not to be confused with a ferroequinophile—someone who gets sexually aroused by trains.
No one who ever worked at senior levels of the Pentagon, State Department, or CIA would ever believe that career pros told Trump that invading Iran would be quick and easy or that Iran would not close the Strait.
As this WSJ article outlines, Trump obviously ignored all advice except his own.
Today would be a good day for it to happen, historically speaking.
Just sayin'.
we need everyone to come help us get the big boats past our historically vanquished enemy pls right now very urgent they’re blowing them up oh fuck
A heroin junkie who bombs his dealer in the name of heroin supply independence is no basis for foreign, or drug policy. An American energy policy focused on getting clean is how you fix this. No one with an EV is exposed to the junkie’s risk, after all.
Following up on this. NYT reporting yesterday that the Trump administration is now spending millions of taxpayer dollars maintaining tankers they have seized because courts are raising these same questions: namely, you can't sell something you don't have title to.
2/ Since March 5th, mobile Internet and even Wi-Fi in public places such as the Moscow Metro and State Duma have been shut down in central Moscow on the government's orders, for vague and unspecific security reasons. The shutdown has caused havoc for businesses and the public.
Hungary seriously needs to be kicked out of the EU.
Pretty much.
Also, be sure not to spread this video of Justin Fox, the other DOGE bro who revealed that he's a malicious moron who caused incredible destruction.
Do not hurt Justin Fox's reputation just by linking Justin Fox's name to the sworn testimony Justin Fox gave about what Justin Fox did.
They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.
The thesis of this article is that "opposition to Israel is central to Mamdani's worldview" and the evidence is that he posted a single photo with Mahmoud Khalil
Never let someone tell you your vote doesn't matter.
it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online
Piffle. I think we should return to the tax brackets of the mid-20th century. Tax the rich at >70%, and base it not just on income, but on wealth, too.
For people in my own bracket, I'd say my own taxes are at least 10-20% lower than they oughta be.
I can’t tell you how unhinged it seems watching the pro-US crowd at the WBC game acting like they have a nation to be proud of, chanting U-S-A, wearing eagle costumes and Statue of Liberty hats.
It’s so delusional it feels like gaslighting.
No. Raise the taxes on the rich massively, but really taxes on all of us are too low.
objection your honor, my client is being brutally owned online
fwiw, i think i'd put the odds at 5% or less, which is like 4.9% higher than i would have put them for any other president since nixon but still not super likely
i would love to stop seeing people here argue that it’s not antisemitic to kill random jews in america as retaliation for israeli policy. if people would stop doing that, that would be super cool imo. not being a bigoted sociopath on main — what a concept!
Hear, hear. I enjoy paying my taxes, for it is with them I purchase civilization.
I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am
