I've never heard a better summary of modern conservatism.

Washington has discovered a brilliant financial strategy. Cut benefits for people who need them, cut taxes for people who don't, and borrow the difference from people who aren't old enough to vote.

The big AI companies are talking about AI having feelings, and the dangers of self-replicating models, model escapes, and regulation because they want to make it illegal for anyone other than them to have advanced models. Their business model doesn't work if you run ChatGPT on your iPhone.

After a woman obtained public records indicating a Google datacenter would cover only one-third of the cost of a new solar plant to power the facility — contradicting its promises that ratepayers would not be on the hook — her electricity company sued her.

I've decided to embrace the AI company system of metrics. From now on I will be reporting my annualized productivity based on the 30 minutes of panic when I realized I forgot to do something important.

They think we’re all idiots As Jon Stewart says — if the goal is guaranteed income and jobs, why wait? Why is it only “socialism” if we don’t hand them trillions of dollars first?

Given his wife's political advocacy for Barack Obama, it's outrageous that Jack Smith was ever entrusted with the legal fate of Donald Trump. by Ginni Thomas

If I'm ever in one of those bad movies where evil guy says "you have one minute to live" I want it to be one minute my washer displays.

I'll agree to let Trump rename AI to Supreme Intelligence if he agrees to call it the Artificial Court.

Here at Orphan Crushing Machine Industries Inc., we have established an Independent Decision Board to ensure the highest standards of decision making in the orphan crushing process.

"Going forward, CNN and CBS will be overseen by an “editorial independence board” composed of people hand-picked by the Ellisons and their agents. When Rupert Murdoch took over The Wall Street Journal from the Bancroft family back in 2007, he ran the same scam..."

It’s not just Trump they disapprove of, he’s a sin eater for the party. It’s Republican policy guided by the Heritage Foundation that everyone hates. America got a taste of their vision of society - the same one Black people have warned us about for decades - and found it repugnant.

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

But does he even know he's back?

Why is a Russian oligarch footing the bill for Donald Jr.'s wedding? Is the Trump family not making enough money off their crypto grift and other schemes? Do they need to sell out American interests to Russia for a cheap buck as well?

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

I worry that GTA VI will corrupt our children by teaching them crimes like crypto rug pulls, stock buybacks, private equity pillaging, and insider trading.

Steve Rattner: Excluding the pre-Liberation Day bounce where companies increased imports ahead of expected tariffs, last month registered the worst U.S. trade deficit on record. More evidence that Trump's blanket tariffs have failed on their own terms.
