Whenever I read about different cryptocurrencies it just seems like someone made Penny stocks without a company attached and with quadruple the fraud

Is it just me or is this idea completely bonkers?

A New York Times headline rewritten to read: "The Key to Managing Tariffs: Inflate the President’s Ego."

Fixed this! Trump’s chaotic tariff “plan” is clear: there is no plan. He’s happy to upend global markets depending on whoever compliments him the most. The economy cannot depend on one man’s ego.

I am hearing that Trump's Greenland deal is the greatest deal ever negotiated in history, in that it gives us exactly what we had before except everyone hates us for it.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Really feels like just telling military to draw up plans to invade an ally should be an impeachable offense regardless of party

Trump admin sends tough private message to oil companies on Venezuela The White House has told companies they must rebuild Venezuela's crude-pumping infrastructure if they want compensation for assets seized by Caracas.

Very important signal here. You can say it's abt oil. And part of it is. But the White House is actually being forced to strongarm the oil companies to get involved. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Trump didn't demand Jimmy Kimmel's firing because he said mean things about Charlie Kirk.

Trump demanded Jimmy Kimmel be fired because said mean things about Donald Trump.

Trump tries to stick up The New York Times with a water gun The lawsuit is beyond parody, even by Trump's standards.

"The Times is unlikely to sacrifice its journalistic credibility because of a laughably tenuous lawsuit and a few mean social media posts. But if Trump wants to let the paper’s team of top-notch First Amendment lawyers depose Mark Burnett, who are we to complain?" — @lizdye.bsky.social

I have no idea why conservatives are worried about Critical Theory and the Frankfurt School. I studied Critical Theory as an undergrad. I really wanted to believe in it, but I ended up totally disillusioned. It’s worthless nonsense.

America is so geographically large and disparately populated that it can be hard for average Americans living day-to-day lives to see that they are living under authoritarianism.

But we are living under authoritarianism.

Motherfucking wind farms…

Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:

Every authoritarian movement attracts wackos obsessed with various crackpot theories, because the social psychology of kooky conspiracism is adjacent to that of authoritarianism.

But the bizarre tangents shouldn’t obscure the core threat: They fear and hate free men and women.

While the rest of the world, especially China, continues to invest in the modernization of their electrical grids with clean, renewable energy technologies, our dipshit dumbass and his moronic cult are taking us back a century to near complete dependence on coal and fossil fuels.

Those of you making lists of Democrats that DOJ has arrested (usually via Kristi Noem's goons), I beg of you not to forget CA SEIU President David Huerta.

The pattern is the same, and in that case they charged a conspiracy which may be an effort to get inside SEIU's private records.

Hard to overstate the degree to which there appears to be literally no one in the president's current circle who has any experience, even at a low level, managing ANY kind of national security crisis or even situation. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/thoug...

I have a liberal arts degree, but I’ve also realized that the companies who claim to like hiring liberal arts grads are usually finance/management consulting companies in New York. Like BlackRock.
