I have been watching football for 50 years. Not once have I bought a car that was advertised. I am an impenetrable fortress of resistance consumerism.

Every single person who bought Tesla stock five years ago and has been holding it is a loser. No dividends. No stock buybacks. Zero asset appreciation in five years. Meanwhile the S&P 500 index fund is up 65% over the same period.

imprison all of the pardoned people illegally and pardon the people who jail them, you gotta hit them with the reverse calvinball

AI is rapidly destroying my industry - i can already feel the negative effects. But AI is here. No one can stop it. Anyone clinging to the old ways is just... clinging. The change is rapid. Adapt or die.

if you're at the top of your field and you don't even want to try anymore, then get out of the way and let someone else take the wheel for a change. jesus christ.

New rule: White House lawyers go to prison first, and longest.

Scoop: White House lawyers are weighing preemptive mass pardons for junior staff, sources says Under discussion: Pardoning everyone involved in deportation, war, or trade policy www.washingtonsun.com/whitehouse/w...

This is a great case study in the ineffectiveness of Dem messaging. On one hand, we have George Soros as the boogeyman of all things from the Left. On the other hand, the plain sight boogeyman of the Right just moves with impunity.

“.. The world’s richest man poured $446 million of his own money into this year’s midterm elections, mostly aimed at preserving the Republican Party’s control of Congress, recent election filings show.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/elections/in...

The NBA is back, and that means the glorious return of @bballbreakdown.bsky.social !!! I hope he posts as much to BlueSky as he does to Twitter!

How is LeBron fitting in with the Sixers? I examined last night's game to find what's working in this video, then link to full breakdown here: youtu.be/ggm9MdeJ1jc

Raskin foretells a COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION of politics, but no impeachment, of course. @citizensimpeachment.com

🚨 Rep. Jamie Raskin tells @askdinadoll.bsky.social that Democrats are going big for the midterms: “We are mobilizing for a LANDSLIDE. We are not mobilizing for a squeaker. We are mobilizing for a COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION of the political landscape and what's going on in government.”

Dear Coca Cola For the love of gawd, please stop airing the commercial which is all about listening to people swallow and slurp. I don't know who approved this, or how it's doing in analytics, and i don't care. REMOVE THIS ABOMINATION!

I just had a weird dream that there was a movie about ants, starring all these people: • Woody Allen • Sharon Stone • Gene Hackman • Sylvester Stallone • Jennifer Lopez • Christopher Walken • Danny Glover • Anne Bancroft

I cannot stress this enough. It is a complete failure of the Democratic Party to not forcefully push back on the president saying "jihadist". This allows continued abuse. This has been the case this whole century. Democrats are not victims of this paradigm. They are enablers.

The thing with the billionaires is they won’t fucking leave us alone. It would be one thing if they made some product or service, fucked off, paid their bills and paid for rivers of cocaine or gold covered loincloths or whatever. But they insist society be structured around their every whim.

The craziest part about the K Kush slush fund is that the Netherlands have an intelligence service??? I've been told by social media that the only other allied country with a spy agency - was Israel!

ME: Cuts to USAID and Ukraine have led to mass casualties directly by the US. FAR LEFT: Gaza Genocide! ME: what about USAID, Ukraine, Darfur, Sudan, Syria, Uyghurs FAR LEFT: You're a genocidal racist!!!

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing? BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper

GOP: G-enitalia O-versight P-erverts

Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

Based on every commercial i see all the time on tv, EVERYONE in California wants to vote against Prop 40. *Vote YES on Prop 40 ** Vote YES on Prop 4

What are the chances Alito retires in the next couple months, and a new SCOTUS judge is confirmed before the next Senate session?

Just so everyone is clear, it's OK to make art on the computer using Photoshop, Paint programs, 3D programs, and plugins & filters. It is NOT OK to make art on the computer using AI. This is what I'm being told. #tedtalk
