Jen Psaki knows a carefully worded statement, that says more by what it's not saying than what it says, when she sees one.

It was effective and got us excited. So of course dem leadership didn’t want to run with it. Not milquetoast enough for them.

Oh god, a breach of ECF could be extremely dangerous. Lots of sealed filings.

NEW YORK, NY – Today, the New York Times reported that Andrew Cuomo is coordinating with President Donald Trump ahead of the upcoming New York City mayoral election to help billionaires buy this race and steal it from the very New Yorkers on the frontlines against Trump's authoritarianism. Andrew Cuomo tried to hide this from the public because he knew how damaging it would be. In response, Zohran Mamdani released the following statement: “Andrew Cuomo has spent his career governing for the powerful and prioritizing his own self-interests over those of the people he was sworn to serve. This is not just a shady backroom deal by a cynical politician, it is disqualifying. It is a betrayal. Donald Trump is sending masked agents to rip our neighbors off the street, gutting the social services so many New Yorkers rely on, and threatening to deport me for having the audacity to stand up to him and his billionaire friends. The job of New York City Mayor is not to be jester for a wannabe king, it is to protect the people of this city.”

Zohran Mamdani just released a statement about Cuomo working with Trump:

The president has been briefed by Mark Penn, a pollster who has worked for Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Andrew Stein, a former New York City Council president and decades-long friend of Mr. Trump, on a range of polling that showed Mr. Cuomo could still be competitive as an independent candidate. Both men have pushed Mr. Cuomo as the best candidate despite his loss in the Democratic primary, including in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed. One of Mr. Penn’s firms did extensive work for a pro-Cuomo super PAC in the primary. And in a previously undisclosed call in recent weeks, Mr. Trump spoke about the race directly with Mr. Cuomo, an old associate and foil, according to three people briefed on the call, who were not authorized to discuss it.

Bombshell report from The New York Times reveals that President Donald Trump spoke directly to Andrew Cuomo about how to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...

“If Democrats could just convince more white people to vote it wouldn’t matter that Republicans are trying to disenfranchise non-whites. I am educated by Yale and also my hair is a habitat for endangered and unwanted birds.”

People have trouble interpreting this. Nobody’s saying Donald Trump or Pam Bondi are personally selecting Nazi iconography. They don’t read enough for that. The point is they hire and promote Nazis who ARE steeped in Nazi iconography, and they’re fine with it.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Every elected official in Nashville needs to watch this. Heck, everyone _living_ in Nashville needs to watch this.

Why have so many moderate Republicans retired rather than stood up to Trump? In part, they are “submerged in social relationships.” Crossing Trump means losing cushy board seats and getting side-eye at church.

If the "Apple announcement" is anything besides Trump rambling on about what a great deal it is while Tim Cook awkwardly smiles and nods I'll eat my hat.

If Apple is smart, the only thing they actually agreed to do is show up and let Trump ramble.

Tesla engineers built a proprietary tool to flatten patties for the smash burgers with crisp browned edges, held together with caramelized onions and cheese, which seemed to be on most tables. It lent the dish a superficial whiff of innovation, but the burger didn’t stand out in any meaningful way.

The Tesla Diner is a perfect metaphor for the whole Tesla brand: a bad facsimile of something that already exists, made by people who don't understand what they're recreating, with a thin veneer of superficial futurism on top, for people with no taste or self-respect

Also they saved money on all the monogrammed stuff, I guess.

The beauty of Leslie Nielsen was that he was also an established dramatic actor before ZAZ tapped him for "Airplane!". It's amazing they thought they could pull it off _once_, not to mention _twice_.

Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.
