Just came under a MASSIVE PSYCHIC ASSAULT at the grocery store

Carl, do you remember Obama getting absolutely raked over the coals for “picking winners and losers”

I meant more does the flood of robocalls make it less likely that a survey target will answer any call from an unknown caller

Claudia, do we know to what extent the proliferation of robo/spam calls has on the declining response rate?

Totally anecdotal but one thing that bothers me about bluesky is that it feels more credulous than even pre-musk twitter, like there is an extremely, extremely large appetite for appealing lies and virtually none for debunking

A Pilot Fired Over Kristi Noem’s Missing Blanket and the Constant Chaos Inside DHS Secretary faces fire for confrontational immigration crackdown and self-promotional style; White House to wind down Minnesota operations.

The full story with a gift link (it's such a mess):

First I can recall ever proactively desiring to see the WSJ comment section. God damn what an article

Took me a while to parse this. It’s 2 people.

But the girlfriend also being his former sister in law is also unseemly

I can respect leaking military secrets to win a forum argument but to do it for profit is just unseemly.

Reading up on Bajew, the magistrate judge. Just appointed last year, crazy background:

- Texas A&M BA
- Maryland JD
- Clerk and ADA in the homicide unit for state’s attorney in Baltimore City
- AUSA in Laredo, last 3 years focused on drug enforcement and organized crime

Dude has seen some shit

Really can't overestimate how much of a difference it makes for somebody to make just one connection with somebody from a different cultural group.

truly the greatest thing currently running on the internet. it's good to be sincere, earnest, and lift up others imho

The summer games are people who are good at sports doing sports. The winter games are avatars of humanity spitting in the face of God, and curling.

What a ride that was

How long until the real story on the Gallup approval poll leaks?

Reminder that the keep 4o cranks represent the smallest and least unhinged pro-AI constituency that will exist for the rest of your life. It’s about to get SUPER weird.

What the hell is going on out there?!

Didn’t realize I was helping to celebrate a birthday, but here we are, arrived from bookshop yesterday!

Was this Saaspocalypse? I understood about 40% of what the Nomura guy was saying, but definitely finished feeling more informed

Maybe not tonight, but it sounds like a good night’s sleep might be around the corner ❤️

Pam Bondi loves dogs. Always had them, one after another. She got involved with dog shelters and dog rescue, and once pulled off to the side of a busy road and got out of her car to chase down a stray. Another dog she helped was a Saint Bernard named Master Tank. She adopted him from a shelter after he was lost during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, not long after her own Saint Bernard had died. The story has been told but bears repeating. Master Tank belonged to Steve and Dorreen Couture and their grandson, who was 4, recovering from the murder-suicide of his parents and losing his dog during the storm. Bondi said the dog was a “walking skeleton” and “dying from heartworms” when she adopted him. The Coutures eventually tracked down Master Tank, but instead of giving him back, Bondi hired a lawyer, who accused the Coutures of abusing the dog, which Bondi had renamed Noah. “She lied,” Dorreen told a Palm Beach Post columnist years later. “My little grandson begged her to take the dog home, and she refused. She thought she would just wear us down. That we were unstable people and would just quit.” The case was settled out of court, with Bondi securing visitation rights, but she never did visit. She got another dog.

This is some genuinely psycho shit...

The real reason he loves tariffs is leverage for personal bribes

Saw him as vaguely Italian-American as well

That's why we have to talk to them like this.

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

There was a YouTube comment that characterized it well:

“I understood 2% of what he said and 100% of what he meant”

Bari’s gonna be pissed when she sees this actual news

Or.. man who almost certainly has access to pre-released figures has no filter

Did she delete this?
