It would be funny how deeply unserious these morons are if not for the Trump administration’s efforts to destroy the US

Capitalism is so fucking amazing: 240 employees are out of work and stock owners make a ton of money. I posit that Bumble is a shitty place to work and a failing company if they feel the need to axe so many employees.

That's a tech support problem you don't see every day

Hopefully this does not happen in countries other than China

While perhaps not intended, the results sure look like a genocide and the British KEPT TAKING FOOD OUT OF IRELAND THE ENTIRE TIME.

Careful guys, if you don’t control migration you might turn out like <checks notes> the greatest, wealthiest city in the world.

Keep up the good fight! Billions in losses for something many do not want (and will kill jobs that actual people perform) is not enough to convince Google to stop this.

Spoiler: either way, it was a crime.

The incompetence of the Trump administration knows no bounds. I can only imagine what destruction they could accomplish if they were halfway competent.

This assumes that hyperscalers do not flame out massively in the next year or two as AI implodes.

Fortunately no mention of ICANN

This is what they stole from us.

This op-ed is extraordinarily authoritarian. Uses outright lies to justify illegal attack on Harvard and cruelty toward international students. A whiff of fascism. How could WaPo run this? thttps://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/06/23/kristi-noem-harvard-foreign-students-dhs-restriction/

The Pentagon ordered a diversionary flight of B-2 bombers as misdirection, per NYT, because they were afraid Trump was giving the attack away to Iran via his social media posts www.nytimes.com/2025/06/23/b...

With the United States watching secret military attacks in Iran, it’s a good thing that American military communications are so private and secure.

I am so tired of the MADA (Make America Deadly Again) push of Trump

CATO: “New nonpublic data from ICE indicates the government is primarily detaining individuals with no criminal convictions of any kind… 93% had no violent convictions… 65% no criminal record at all…” @MarshaBlackburn www.cato.org/blog/65-peop...

All across America, if you look like you might not belong according to the rightwing extremist regime’s conception of “real America,” you are now at constant risk of being assaulted by these masked thugs tasked with purging the nation. Whatever you want to call this, democracy it definitely ain’t.

This happens every time religious morons pass these laws. They sure do love wasting money on unnecessary legal fees.

So war is better than peace @the-independent.com ? What the actual fuck is wrong with you?!?

I don't wanna read about this, I want to read more stenography of baseless sam altman claims please

I wrote about how the telecom and Trump administration's response to the worst telecom hack in U.S. history is basically to pretend it never happened:

Elon is gonna be jealous of how many kids Pavel has sired

These cuts will harm rural areas the most, which are predominantly Trump supporters. Too bad they will never know that the GOP yet again screwed them over.

He really is trying to destroy America and kill as many people as possible.

the only reason CBS hasn't folded and paid Trump his bribery money yet is California threatened an investigation into whether such a deal would violate state bribery laws, which chuck here "forgets" to mention

I'm sure this kid has a long criminal history and is a massive threat to public safety, and not just the victim of a bigoted campaign by fascists.

I expect that the Trump administration will stop this project like all of the other beneficial projects they’ve killed

Because fuck people. The Trump administration is just so evil.

Hey @nbcnews.com : the word "checkered" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Since the 1950s, US involvement in regime change wars has killed maybe ten million (or so) cilivians and destroyed multiple countries and societies.

Trump: “I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.” He's talking about whether the US will start another illegal war, but this quote is applicable to pretty much any topic he considers.

"Trump Mobile" is barely even a real company. It's a thin licensing rebrand of MAGA-friendly MVNO "Patriot Mobile," which itself is just a thin rebrand of T-Mobile this man is genuinely not that bright

*raises hand* because consolidated corporate media owners like tax cuts and mindless deregulation and make editorial choices and hiring decisions accordingly? while the ad-based journalism model disincentivizes challenging wealth, power, and partisan norms for fear of harming overall engagement?

Fuck @johnfetterman.com - he is punchy and believing lies. He is a disgrace "I've been saying, 'Oh, hell yes,' for I think it’s almost six weeks," the Democrat said when asked on camera about whether he supports direct U.S. involvement in the Israeli/Iranian war."

As if we did not need any more problems in the world, an entity that helps the underlying functioning of the Internet is a total mess.

Boo @nbcnews.com for mispelling "kidnapped" in the headline.

Good to see a voice of reason get more attention.

I'm sure Trump has NOTHING to do this with being a massive flop.

The frequency with which Trump changes his mind on absolutely everything makes my brain hurt.

There are Marines stationed in LA

Yay, the more privacy the better!

otherwise unremarkable loud rich man lucked into wealth and did one good thing in 40 years time for the presidency
