What the fuck? Granted I'm a rank amateur when it comes to the SC, but that's the most unprofessional and unserious shit I've ever seen in an opinion.

If Rufo is saying this, it's only because he knows this Nazi shit won't play with normies and that if Fuentes is allowed to continue to gain influence on the right, it jeopardizes Rufo's entire project of trying to launder bigotry into the mainstream via gullible NYT reporters.

Musk on Twitter 2/17/2026: You can just take a picture of your medical data or upload the file to get a second opinion from Grok

Elon posted this yesterday. Just for fun I did it with my before/after cancer PET scans that I had already posted online. In the "before" scan Grok missed the massive tumor lighting up my liver, and in both scans it flagged a non-existent "area of concern" in my chest. Other than that, works great!

I don't know if this was Colbert's intention but one thing he's made them do here is preemptively make them stake out their position.

Hey @kellen.bsky.social why doesn't NYT treat AOC like this?

Hmmm I'm not sure that it's the smoothing business cycle as much as it is sustained low inflation/near zero interest rates after the Great Recession. Society lost its collective memory of what moderate inflation looks like.

My money is on not enough also. He lacks the bitter edge that comes with being bullied too much. He thinks his shit doesn't stink and can't handle criticism which are, imo, hallmarks of people who have gone through most of their life completely unchecked.

I'm ambivalent on the trade at the moment. I think they almost certainly sold low on Garland but I also feel like this is ultimately going to be a lost season for DG and this roster can't afford for this to be another underwhelming finish.

I'll be shocked if Trump lets Miller go. It would take Wiles, Vance, and Rubio ganging up on him at the very least to get him out.

It's so refreshing to hear her speak because she actually says meaningful things, not just empty corporate blather which is a rare quality in an exec.

Just to illustrate how extreme it can get, I used to work on the ramp at an airport and we were getting heavy freezing rain even though it was like 22 degrees. One of the pilots on an inbound flight said that it was 52 degrees at 5000 feet.

Yeah they just haven't received their narrative from on high yet. This happens all the time immediately after something happens. Their own thoughts and consciences seep through and then a few days later after they get their marching orders, it's back to being dickheads.

I grew up in the country so I grew up shooting guns. But for the last 20 years I've never felt the need to own one. That's changed in the last year. Now I own two - with the second one being purchased last week - including an AR-15 style rifle with multiple 30 round mags.
