Did @nytpitchbot.bsky.social hijack the @politico.com feed? Utter nonsense.

Believe it or not….

Star Trek Voyager scene. We've got Tuvok standing next to Seven of Nine (Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01). She's looking and him, and he's doing a smouldering, eyebrow popping look off into the distance thing. Closed caption reads, "I share your discomfort with social gatherings."

Epstein Survivors Slam Pam Bondi in New Super Bowl Ad The commercial demanded the DOJ release the entirety of the Epstein files.

If the entire #SuperBowl was this, I’d watch. www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-surv...

That are just as dangerous with less protection. Sorry, not buying it. When you’ve have to bury a kid who got brain damaged beyond belief on an e-bike that wouldn’t have been injured in the same way in a car, come talk to me. The solution to climate change isn’t this, it’s emission reduction

Creating more dumb ways to die isn’t the solution.

Geez, is she 18?

Norms are dead. It’s time to run the fucking table.

According to Jeff Bezos, “I got my scapegoat, I’m good to go with whatever excuse works!”

Fuck @barstoolsport.bsky.social and their ilk.

Still, not the worst idea I’ve heard.

I’ll take shit that didn’t matter because Bezos made up his mind already and we’ve got a scapegoat for $200, Alex….

Omg, too much sangria, you’re right! Kudos to @wsj.com !

Please remember that he delivered Trump to us by forcing Biden off the ticket.

Signal boosting.

Me too! Except it’s the @slate.com political gabfest with @davidplotz.bsky.social, @johndickerson.bsky.social and Emily Bazalon!

I believe the sourcing and the reporter, just the source itself is compromised.

If it were a Kool 100 and a Dewars, I’d buy it. #MissYouGrandma.

Like the vending machine at the @nytimes.com they let AI manage!

Your paa is strong.

I’m sorry, is this a media outlet? Hard to take anything that comes from Bezos’ empire seriously these days.

I love that he can’t out program Grok…he tried to make it a sycophantic machine, but it surprises us each time we ask it about this.

I’m not pearl-clutching, but when you’ve been to enough teen funerals, you’re a little sensitive to the topic.

Paging @jaketapper.bsky.social, he did this all during President Biden’s term!

The net of this it minimizing cost and not maximizing revenue. That is a business model that is unsustainable.

You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump.

This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

Isn’t this a little like when it was $400m for Obama to visit India? This feels a little thin.

Brian Merchant @bcmerchant.bsky..... 2h Hagen is the author of a great short book, Why We Fear Al, which argues, among other things, that Al should not be viewed as a productivity tool, but a *wage depression* tool. www.commonnotions.org/ why-we-fear-ai Why We Fear Al- Common Notions Press Fears about Al tell us more about capitalism today than the technology of .. www.commonnotions.org

How Nvidia and OpenAl Fuel the Al Money Machine Hardware or Software Investment Circles sized by market value /Services Venture Capital

Wage suppression so 5 billionaires can keep paying each other instead.

Completely! I had to deal with20 minutes of ai just to get to a human at AT&T this week, and it’s got me seriously thinking about going to @vancityreynolds.bsky.social and @mintmobilecares.bsky.social !

Because they have been sold on the concept that it can eliminate headcount which corporate America is obsessed with.
