Tech CEOs think LLMs are AI and believe AI will replace workers because they're exactly as good at identifying AI as they are at identifying work.

Gas prices are “temporarily” high, says the president. That’s because Republicans are temporarily in power. Vote.

Yes.

I spend 90% of my week reading financials, analyst notes, earnings and all sorts of serious stuff, so this is the only kind of video I can watch on the weekend

this is so obviously correct it is deeply bizarre and corrosive how many people who should know better are unwilling to simply say it

Same.

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

Shredded wheat is an insane concept. "Yeah I want a fucking log of hay in a box. For my breakfast." Fuck outta here. Crazy assholes.

Announcing the merger with Titanic footage is an incredible bit

This belongs in the Smithsonian.

In term 1, Trump took a strong economy he inherited from Obama, threw in some tax cuts, didn’t mess with it much, & took credit for it. In term 2, Trump decided that he wanted to completely reshape the economy according to his own dumbass beliefs and now we’re Trump University.

Got my Covid booster and my flu shot today. Having never snorted cocaine off the toilet seat, I thought it was a good idea!

Long after Trump is gone from office as the most despised, unpopular, and disastrous president in US history, the stink of Trump will remain forever on Republican politicians and appointees who backed him every step of the way, even when they try to claim they were independent.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

Mark Carney: “I would now like to inform you that the teleprompter has ceased to function. Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.”

😬🤷🏼

Morally vacant and beyond redemption; they continue to defend him.

The fact that Jeff Bezos ruined the Washington Post for nothing is just peak 2026

Donald gives McDonald’s $10. McDonald’s gives him a hamburger. McDonald’s buys nothing from Donald. That’s a $10 trade deficit, not a $10 loss, because the stupid motherfucker received a hamburger. We’re being governed by a man who cannot understand lunch.

The owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory self-regulated.

The people who approved this need to go to prison. All of them. Full stop.

"What are they hiding?" is always a stupid line, but it's rich coming from the guy who got caught taking a $50,000 bribe in a Cava bag.

Many months ago, I bought a Kickstarter item from an awesome Canadian company. I just had to pay $103 CAD in tariff fees, to get it shipped. I cannot emphasize enough just how much I fucking loathe Trump, and the Republicans who have enabled him out of cowardice.

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Shit's too expensive, paychecks are flat, and this administration threw themselves a party and pat themselves on the back. This November, we're going to send them a message loud and clear: Your time is up. Working people built this country. It's time to take it back.

Deliberately crashing the American economy—costing American families well over $5,000 each—and then promising to pay those families back $5,000 but *only if* they keep letting him abuse them and the country for two more years... ...is some *seriously* dark, domestic-abuser shit.

Perfectly states what I've been saying for some time, now.

TBF, it probably looked better in the original German.

It's so weird how "As Speaker of the House, I have no idea what's going on... Like, in general," is an effective way to deflect scandal rather than being a massive scandal in itself.

This is the kind of thing that'll come in handy when the Democrats -- hopefully -- push to expand the court. Even the most politically disengaged voter can likely be made to understand that there's fuckery afoot here.

Ron and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.

They misspelled the word stole.

the “op” is that vance is the most visibly sweaty, pathetic and juiceless national politician in recent memory

MAGA is basically a racketeering operation with ongoing criminal activity permeating the entire framework and fabric of American govt and society.

There’s so much Dolly-discourse about the proper uses of wealth and fame and legacy, and some harsh comparisons to others who also have or had those advantages. See @clairewillett.bsky.social for a vivid example. But there something nicer going on, worth mentioning:

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

When America is gone, remember NYT headlines like this and never again ask what role corporate media played in normalizing the most dangerous man on Earth

We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.
