Further proof that these guys just lucked into their billions and don't know a damn thing about economics. And they're getting more and more desperate by the day.

Every accusation is a confession. The gov't taking 10% stakes in companies is anti-capitalist, violating the Constitution is anti-American and having sex with another woman while your wife is pregnant is anti-Christian.

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?' President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...

Could be argued that a lot of them can't even find Saudi Arabia on a globe, let alone know about the country's human rights history. Or that they know about it and don't care because they're greedy.

You know what's anti-American? Trampling all over the Constitution. What this sad old demented man is doing is straight up Treason.

Trump’s NSPM-7 Labels Common Beliefs As Terrorism “Indicators” New order targets “anti-Christian,” “anti-American,” and “anti-capitalism” opinions

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened:

Trump Executive Order Will Hand TikTok Over to US Investors After five deadline extensions and several rounds of negotiations, President Trump signed an executive order to put TikTok’s US operations in the hands of Oracle and other American investors.

Vance said during the briefing. “We don’t want this used as a propaganda tool by any foreign government.”

...Because they want it used as a propaganda tool by themselves.

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appea...

The leasing deal could be structured to minimize risks for Nvidia. Nvidia could set up an entity that borrows money to buy the servers, using the chips as collateral. OpenAI’s lease payments could go towards paying back the loan

Inflating Earnings: When Enron's investments were underwater, the company would record these transactions as successful hedges, artificially increasing its reported revenue, income, and equity on its book

In this scenario NVIDIA would set up an entity to buy its own GPUs and then lease them to OpenAI. This isn’t exactly what Enron did, but it’s sure getting close!

The Dutch are awesome.

This is what Trump is doing to the United States. He's turning us into Russia.

Read the essay by @garrykasparov.bsky.social highlighted by @jenpsaki.msnbc.com tonight.

Fight like hell if you don't want to live in Russia.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. - Teddy Roosevelt

Asking Me to Stop Beating You with This Sock Full of Quarters Will Only Further Divide Our Nation The social bonds that hold us together are fraying, and sadly, many of our citizens no longer trust the institutions that govern us. Right now, the...

"Right now, the most important thing is for us to come together as Americans and stop listening to those voices who would push us apart. That is why asking me to stop beating you with this sock full of quarters will only further divide our nation."

Inside Trumpworld’s Reality Distortion Field In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's killing, Donald Trump's advisors were sure who was to blame. That law enforcement says they were wrong didn't, and doesn't, much seem to matter.

"According to one expert, that’s the entire point: Trumpworld and its Republican allies, from influencers to tech overlords, have started to become the digital equivalent of high on their own supply." www.wired.com/story/inside...

Quote: “As long as there is one upright man, as long as there is one compassionate woman, the contagion may spread and the scene is not desolate. Hope is the thing that is left to us, in a bad time. I shall get up Sunday morning and wind the clock, as a contribution to order and steadfastness. Sailors have an expression about the weather: they say, the weather is a great bluffer. I guess the same is true of our human society — things can look dark, then a break shows in the clouds, and all is changed, sometimes rather suddenly. It is quite obvious that the human race has made a queer mess of life on this planet. But as a people we probably harbor seeds of goodness that have lain for a long time waiting to sprout when the conditions are right. Man’s curiosity, his relentlessness, his inventiveness, his ingenuity have led him into deep trouble. We can only hope that these same traits will enable him to claw his way out. Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.” E.B. White (1973)

Finally: remember to take care of yourselves. There is a long road ahead, but we’re in this together.

it kills me knowing what’s needed is for people to double down on bucking any demands for “civility” because they understand these demands are training people to surveil & snitch on their neighbors and an exploit to intensify authoritarian control over our thoughts.

Banning VPNs and any depictions of trans people isn't about saving children, it's about oppression and stifling dissent online.

Disgusted, disappointed and angry. Way to cave to fascism, alma mater. Not like I ever donated a ton of money in the first place but I'll never give another penny, for anything. I hope other alums raise their voices and let the school know this is bullshit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Fire Brian Killmeade. And arm the homeless.

When crazy shit happens, you always have to look at who benefits the most from it. Epstein Files gone from the headlines for a while, including the Senate GOP's vote today. And an excuse to go after political opponents. And further radicalization of the base. With that, I'm logging off for a while.

Silver lining for the right...at least the Epstein files are out of the headlines for a few days...

Charlie Kirk says gun deaths "unfortunately" worth it to ... The conservative founder of Turning Point USA made the comments following a mass shooting in Nashville last week that resulted in six deaths.
