Can confirm, it's cold out there.

Would love to be on the android beta - but it's full. 😭

Phone based VRU systems are a blight on humanity. If I'm picking up the phone - it's because I've given up any other avenue of support. Don't make me negotiate with a computer to get to a person.

Nice!

Fantastic! There are also a fair number of bots (which when reported are removed quickly! ❤️) the ability to delete their comments would be cool. No hurry, just an observation.

Awesome work, happy to have the platform.

@fotoapp.co Loving the app, loving the clean interface and clarity of function/use. It would be great to be able to browse/share/post from my desktop browser.

May 5, 2025 cover of the New Yorker. Expository text: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cover-story/cover-story-2025-05-05

Barry Blitt’s first 100 days cover for the New Yorker.

Tariff purchases: I ordered 5 lbs of coffee.

/ More Rand Paul: “Conservatives used to understand that tariffs are taxes on the American people.” “What happened? Did we all of a sudden give up all the things we used to believe in?”

Refers to Milton Friedman, and Ronald Reagan's legacy in creating free trade with Canada.

/ Rand Paul refers to the founding fathers then goes back to the Magna Carta 800 years ago, saying there's nearly a millennial tradition it takes a legislature to approve tax hikes. "Taxation without representation is tyranny.”

Says a 30-day emergency is one thing. But Trump is abusing this power

The US Senate has kicked off a debate of up to 6 hours on the 'fentanyl' tariffs on Canada. Rand Paul kicks it off, blasting Trump's tariffs:

”One person in our country wants to raise taxes.” “This contradicts everything our country was founded upon... No one man can raise taxes on the people.” /

The American culture of resentment, payback, and whataboutism will be our undoing.

Whatever happened to a rising tide lifting all boats?

When can children start suing idiot parents that didn't get them vaccinated?

Yet Scott is on his knees for the Casino... We don't need that either.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.

It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.

They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.

I’m happy to invest and/or help

You know that feeling when you're in a meeting and suddenly its like... Oh, we found the Trumper.

Good morning.

In order to apply to be a part of #DOGE, you must be a US Citizen.

Excellent location for a tire plug.

YouTube videos abound.

Will there be any meat left on our bleached bones?

50 years from now, there will be #SciFi movies where the plot is going back in time and stopping Elon and Trump.
