It'll take more than this, but cancelling Disney+ felt good. Maybe it's a start?

'Weakness masquerading as strength': Hear Newsom's blistering speech on Trump as LA protests persist
YouTube video by CNN 'Weakness masquerading as strength': Hear Newsom's blistering speech on Trump as LA protests persist

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now.

Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angryβ€”in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump.

This is how you want a leader to talk.

You get a free Rolls Royce! And you get a free Rolls Royce! Is perhaps a convenient way to understand how the top %0.1 benefits from the GOP tax bill?

Sure, it's the cheapest Rolls, but adversity builds character and all that.

Great news for my top point-onners. Not so much if you’re in 40th percentile or below

Life and death in Apple’s forbidden city In an extract from his new book, Brian Merchant reveals how he gained access to Longhua, the vast complex where iPhones are made and where, in 2010, unhappy workers started killing themselves

"Foxconn...had large nets installed outside many of the buildings to catch falling bodies. The company hired counsellors and workers were made to sign pledges stating they would not attempt to kill themselves." www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A white protest sign being held up by the arm and hand of someone wearing a ball cap, ahead in the crowd. In green, it has the pixelated image of a covered wagon from the old Oregon Trail computer game, and it says β€œYou have died of Republican policy.”

Front page of WSJ. Main headline says "Market Carnage Worsens." Right below it is headline saying "Trump Heads to Golf Club Amid Tariff Turmoil."

Front page of WSJ. Main headline says "Market Carnage Worsens." Right below it is headline saying "Trump Heads to Golf Club Amid Tariff Turmoil."

I often give MSM headline-writers/editors a hard time on framing of political news.

So now a note of compliment to hed-writers + photo and layout editors who put together today's WSJ print front page. (h/t @jorgeguajardo.bsky.social )

If Dickens or Dreiser were writing this, would seem overdone

Constructively: if the host cannot take the time to even sample a single Miyazaki movie, you have to expect a lot of people will bail on this podcast. I mean c’mon.

Wondering if there’s an obscure populous that actually uses these bag-for-your-sheets? Like the β€œHavisham Society of Menial Tasks” or the like.
