Would you rather watch Apple TV on your Apple TV, or Apple TV on your Apple TV-enabled smart device?

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

The Treasury Secretary declares himself to be pro-monarchy, and promises to punish the entire country if the people exercise their First Amendment rights.

Playing “Starships” means it’s a purely aerospace-related set, right?

also a sign of how far trump has checked out-there is zero chance in the old days he would countenance anyone else taking credit, even in a slip of the tongue

A terminal area forecast for Northeast Philadelphia Airport. TONIGHT... VFR MUCH OF THE NIGHT WITH AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS. THERE COULD BE SOME HIGH-END MVFR CEILINGS ARRIVING TOWARDS DAWN FOR THE DELAWARE VALLEY AND SOUTH NJ SITES. LIGHT RAINS MAY AFFECT COASTAL AREAS, BUT CONFID IN THIS NOT HIGH AT THIS TIME.

EAST WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS.

Was hoping to go flying tomorrow morning but this isn’t looking great 😒

This was at the Kimmel Center - guy was like “that was AWESOME! SO GOOD” etc.

Pretty sure Yannick was conducting and handled it like a Pro

I can’t remember - were we together at an Orchestra show that had a heckler?

I’d never post if that was the case 😅

Senator Jim Banks V @SenatorBanks Follow g.. The 2020 Census was a fraud. The Biden admin used a shady "privacy" formula that scrambled the data and miscounted 14 states.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

fellas is it gay to live in a city

We really hit on something with the 12 year old theory of governance because that’s really the entire political project. It’s being 12 years old and not even normal 12 year olds but real pieces of shit 12 year olds

This, to me, is so telling. When proven wrong, Bari Weiss invites her critic on a podcast. The rotten fruit of the "debate" tree, the fetishization of debate as a conversation in which one "wins" or "loses," "owns" or is "owned." A side-effect of capitalism's anti-intellectual higher ed arms race.

“Perception of what will resonate with audiences” isn’t the news, though

The president is not well, but everyone around him would rather use their arrogated power to harm people they hate and their perceived enemies than do what’s best for the country. This cannot continue; it’s incredibly harmful. But they’re salivating at being able to attack blue states.
