nothing a little extra tariffs on [throws a dart at a map and spins a wheel for a rate] couldn’t solve

Why would reminding the public that they’re all a bunch of cowardly self-interested liars help β€œregain the trust”?

I remember getting a Tesla early on & ppl with W Bush bumper stickers would yell at me at red lights.

Then after Musk revealed himself as a Nazi I got rid of it & now right wing extremists r willing to kill for Tesla.

The names/ideologies are all just fronting for naked animal desire for power.

The stupidity of crippling phone service for a benefit literally designed for seniors can only be malicious. You have to have no practical experience with applying for this, no firsthand knowledge of how seniors use technology, and absolutely zero curiosity to improve anything.

The ban goes into effect on Sunday, and TikTok seems to correctly grasp that the only thing that can stop it from going into effect on Sunday is Biden triggering the discretionary 90-day delay that’s written into the lawβ€”which Biden has not, and TikTok is saying that a pinky swear isn’t good enough.

Everyone’s talking about how the AI bots made by Meta are bad, but just a reminder you can make your own Meta AI chatbot right inside Messenger and there’s definitely no problems there

Dems didn’t ban tiktok because of china, they banned it because some donors got mad because their granddaughters were hearing dangerous anti-israel stuff

Health insurance company (hands on hips): Stop right there mister! Is that medically necessary?

EXCLUSIVE: Where is Congresswoman Kay Granger? Amid the ongoing drama in D.C. with Congress debating on an interim spending bill a key question has arisen, "Where is Congresswoman Kay Granger?"

Refreshingly different: This senile member of Congress is a Republican, not a Democrat

She tried to outflank Trump on the border, refused for months to commit to an actual minimum wage number, hyped a muscular foreign policy, did a battleground town hall tour with Liz Cheney, vowed to name a Republican to her cabinet, and disavowed virtually everything she ran on in 2019.

He went from β€œvibes” being a critique of centrism, to posting it into a religion, to now making it making it his own painfully online brand of centrism because people on the left correctly told him Biden was too old and people hating the economy was not a tiktok meme.

Woke up this morning remembering how, after Kerry's 2004 loss to W, the Democratic party and the press decided it was abortion's fault. When I tell you that this is not an exaggerated memory:

All along, Bezos's strategy was to own the infrastructure that other firms depend on to move goods & data β€” and to set up tollbooths across the economy.

Today, that vision is here. Half of Amazon's revenue this year will come from the tolls it charges businesses to access its rails.

β€œReceiving positive feedback from Wall Street” is the strong connecting this response, tech founders deciding to β€œreclaim” power, and the Fed hiking interest rates until there’s a recession.
