My wife and I are binge watching “The Big Bang Theory” since the beginning. We never watched the show and it’s been really amazing until we got to this episode. It’s amazing how this creature went from loved by geeks to detested by everyone with a brain cell.

It really is such a conundrum and I can see how both actions make sense. On the one hand it’s giving Trump and republicans a carte blanche. But on the other, it’s an easy way to blame democrats for the shut down. The bet here is that things will crumble and it’ll be 100% Trump’s fault.

JPMORGAN slashes $TSLA Q1 delivery estimates “to just ~355K, which is -8% y/y .. and -28% q/q from 495K in 4Q24 .. “.. We struggle to think of anything analogous in the history of the automotive industry, in which a brand has lost so much value so quickly ..” Cuts target price to $120 (prior $135

Too bad all our 401k’s and pensions are tied to these “globalist” stocks…

REPORTER: What do you make of the market selloff this week? TRUMP: I think it's globalists that see how rich our country's gonna be and they don't like it.

I’ve become a huge fan of Wegmans on Instacart. The prices seem to be lower than my local Superfresh (specially if I buy Wegmans brand) and the quality of produce is much better

He says he briefly canceled Ebola protection and chuckles. Insanity.

Elon Musk speaks at the Cabinet meeting: “When we make mistakes, we'll fix it very quickly. For example…USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was Ebola prevention. I think we all want Ebola prevention, so we restored the Ebola prevention and there was no interruption.”

When FDR struck an over-the-heads-of-eastern-Europe deal at Yalta in Feb 1945, Stalin had 300+ divisions in the field vs Nazi Germany. The impending unilateral Trump sellout of Ukraine occurs when Putin is battered and almost broke.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

Trump, July 2024: We will drive prices down very fast. Trump, August 2024: I will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. Trump, December 2024: I won an election based on that, we’re going to bring those prices way down. Have prices gone down? Nope.

All kidding aside, the reason he is doing this is to establish some kind of culpability by @profgalloway.com and I. We never threatened these people but it is all in service of getting his supporters to think we did. It’s not a random tweet — all planned for a larger effort to silence us or worse.

This morning, we won a court order blocking Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, from accessing Americans’ private data. Musk and his DOGE employees must destroy all records they've obtained. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: no one is above the law.

New York Attorney General Letitia James@newyorkstateag.bsky.social

We're suing over the free rein Donald Trump gave Elon Musk and DOGE to access Americans’ private information. Musk and DOGE want to use this information to cut vital services that Americans rely on — from health care to education. This is unacceptable and illegal. vimeo.com/1054527049/f...

Why is the federal government blowing over $800K on a huge military plane to deport just 79 immigrants to Guatemala, when a regular flight used to cost us $100K? It’s all for show! And the truth—they weren’t rapists, murderers, or criminals.
