You know what? I hope elon musk DID sleep with stephen miller's wife.

The thought of miller crying alone in the shower is my new kink.

If Saturday Night Live does not bring Seth Myers on as Gavin Newsom, it will be a huge missed opportunity.

A terrifying escalation:

"If some of us could be snatched off the streets without a warrant, only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there." - @governor.ca.gov

From the ground in LA, the truth is that the ICE protests amount to less than 1 square mile out of the 4,752 sq mi of Los Angeles County.

The rest is business as usual, and the notion that "LA is burning" is utter fiction.

Double.

NEWSOM / WALZ 2028 🇺🇸✊🏻

Having been at the downtown LA protests, I can confirm firsthand that they were entirely peaceful until the cops started shooting rubber bullets into the crowd and warning of tear gas. The escalation to National Guard and Marines is entirely unnecessary. Newsom is the real strongman here.

if white Americans didn’t want Mexicans in California maybe they should not have conquered California from Mexico and then spent 150 years building up an economy entirely dependent on the flow of people and goods across the border just a thought

ICE GTFO LA!!! ✊🏻 🇺🇸 Leave us in peace & arrest the real Criminal. Deport Elon Musk. #ice #losangeles #dtla

If Elon dyes his hair after this breakup, they’re never getting back together.

The Sandra Bland connection is probably a random coincidence, but it doesn't feel like one; it feels deep.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?

LUTNICK: Generally 10%

DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%

LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

From Chelsea Fagan of The Financial Diet:

Someone just neatly pinpointed the central business problem of our time on substack, and i'll never get over it:

"Brands need to stop trying to build community around themselves and start focusing on how they can become a bigger, better part of the community around them." - Erin Dykstra

I’ve grown weary of clean, soulless tech bro Helvetica Neue, and I’m now infusing all of my data-driven, professional notes with the literary soul of EB Garamond.

When you buy a saxophone, do they throw in the sunglasses for free, or…?

I'm from the southern suburbs; my son is so lucky to grow up in West Hollywood, he literally has no idea what it's like to live without strings of rainbow lights overhead and people lined up for drag brunch 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸✨

Congratulations, Hayden! I'll have scoops on AI x Meta/Google for you soon.

Scott Bessent, appointed by the Head Cheeto himself to Treasury Secretary, is GAY 🏳️‍🌈✨ so do not tell me that Pete Buttigieg or any other gay couldn't get elected to top brass in these times, let's go for it
