It also signals that you still care what warhawk motherfuckers and their enablers think about you.

Not the same guy, you brick-brained clown. The one who came to power in 1979 died 10 years later in β€˜89.

literally nobody in the world needs to know what Ross Douthat thinks about anything even if it's to get annoyed at it, you need to stop bringing that filth onto our clean carpets

really a good sign about OpenAI's own prediction of its trajectory that it is lunging at the killbot, mass surveillance and porn use cases before a lawyer could even read the contracts

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

Off the top of my head:

The second you leave this country for even a few days, you realize the place you call home is decaying at an almost exponential pace. The realization that you don't have to live like this is stark, and that nobody in power is taking tangible actions to fix it in your lifetime is even starker.

The Winklevoss Twins' Crypto Company Is in Crisis After the Bitcoin Crash The Winklevoss twins' Gemini crypto exchange struggled to brace for bitcoin volatility, throwing up warning signs for the industry as a whole.

A feel-good story.

β€œThe situation seems to be rattling the enterprise to its core, coming the same week that Gemini moved to kick its chief operating officer, financial officer, and legal officer to the curb.”

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

The press has reported on yesterday’s Supreme Court decision as if it were only about tariffs. Wrong. It’s far bigger and even more important. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-tariff-decision

Douglas Fairbanks vs Noah Beery in THE MARK OF ZORRO (1920). Fairbanks did most of his own stunts and his brother, Robert, helped innovate ways to make them look even more impressive on the screen. Note the slightly lowered table height.

It could be his brain was just screwed-up from birth
By exaggerated notions of his own racial worth.

Or maybe the drugs he constantly mainlined
Were the root cause of everything wrong with his mind.

But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his cock was two sizes too small.

Trump doesn't understand foreign policy or diplomacy at all. Coercion is all he knows how to do. Military action and tariffs are the only two tools, and the Court just took one away.

The reference to families is the extra touch that makes Trump a lowlife thug and Trump followers fucking trash.
