LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

We learned @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov CAVED (pathetic!) 5min after our NYC protest outside @newyorkstateag.bsky.social's office. Such power and energy--followed by DEEP betrayal. The #BlockTheMerger will continue to fight media consolidation/oligarchy as if democracy depends on it. Because it does. 🧵👇

Today, billionaires yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top. As a result, a billionaire media company closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s critical news outlets. Saudi Arabia will co-own those outlets, too.

this might not sound like a big deal but I’m not sure there is any single thing that will upset trump more than not being on the teevee

BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said. It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

a big part of why I’m so obsessed with amuro is that he, I think subconsciously to tomino, is one of the best portrayals of genuine imposter syndrome I’ve ever seen part of it is good as it’s the basis of one of the biggest contrasts to char where amuro refuses to believe he’s better than anyone

I don't want to say smart watches are not quite accurate with their fitness metrics, but I was just awarded my daily step goal for the hand motions I made while eating potato chips.

it's a damned cover-up! once again, Donny's in hiding and we can't get a straight answer why. all we get is some bullshit story from Dr. Oz about how much Dear Leader loves to point at that drawing of a camel. thank you for your attention to today's very angry post. link is here: bit.ly/4ugN4XQ

I would really like for outlets to, after stating the government’s allegations, at least mention the fact that the car ran into us. An ICE agent drove into a crowd. Of people. Who were peacefully protesting. And then the government tried to paint us as a lawless mob.

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com

In an 11-page indictment filed on Oct. 23, 2025, prosecutors alleged six defendants were part of a group that had surrounded an ICE vehicle outside the Broadview facility during a protest.

Even funnier, since it's a bullshit AI image, there's no copyright in it. Grab, re-use, and Streisand this shit. :)

Thank you. Please never forget that fascists and bigots are liars. Never accept anything they say at face value.

Wow. The Hollywood Reporter says 60 Minutes' new management has fired correspondent Scott Pelley, who has worked for the network for nearly 40 years, was anchor of the CBS Evening News for six years before joining the newsmagazine. Good luck getting fans of the show to keep watching. loom.ly/TpgqRmA

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Gil Durán@gilduran.com

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Trump: "Somalia, it's got no anything. It's got one thing that's really strong -- crime. All they do is run around shooting each other. It's filthy dirty, disgusting. It's a horrible place. They come here, and Ilhan Omar, she heads it. She married her brother. I would imagine they're looking at her"

I'm rich. Rich enough, anyhow. I get taxed less than folks I know making minimum fucking wage. Tax ME. Tax the folks who are rich MORE than enough, too. Then tax othe folks LESS.

real estate price drops and empty office space was the biggest driver of return to office demands. Not culture, not team work, not collaboration. Second was management missing interacting all day with people who were forced to be nice to them act like they're super smart.

I was also in the industry in the early 2000s, you Ayn Rand pick-me crapsickle. I think we've been a bit romantic about the need for studio executives and not having unions. And I hope you soon feel a little romantic about when you had friends and a job.
