He looks like a Victorian child who isn’t allowed to wear full length pants yet. Apt given his position in the administration.

I am saying this with one hundred percent sincerity: "Dolly Parton is upset with you" is a strong enough mark of shame to completely kneecap this entire movement and if the dems actually had a finger on the pulse of the country they'd be booking this beautiful person for speaking tours

Trump is blacklisting a news outlet for using a name he doesn't like. It's that simple. So why aren't more reporters and media outlets speaking out more vehemently to help The AP? In part, I'm told, it's because the WH Correspondents' Association is trying to work out a solution behind the scenes.

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.

And the cost of that $55 billion to the country? Come on, you’re Bloomberg, you can do this math. Put those MBAs to work, you all had to pass quant to get there.

In case you were curious just how incompetent he is, this is the equivalent of randomly shutting things down in a production instance without having read any documentation but the system manages hospitals, nuclear materials, the IRS, military ordinance etc… And expecting nothing critical to break.

School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content". In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival. www.kqed.org/arts/1397192...

The psychology of the Boomer generation is fascinating to observe at the macro level. Of course the Me generation can’t retire, that would require acknowledging the world will spin on without them.

The sheer volume of daddy issues in this administration would choke an elephant. Maybe it already has.

RFK Jr.’s projection is really spectacular. This man’s most deeply rooted fear is being medicated and getting therapy, and goodness doesn’t that just beg the question ‘why’?

ChatGPT is no smarter than a random human with access to the internet. You might as well be asking a friend to look it up for you.

DOGE and Trump admin have hobbled at least 11 federal agencies *that have been investigating Musk's companies.* The NLRB alone had 24 ongoing investigations into Tesla & others--but Trump fired top officials so now cases can't move forward. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u... @ericlipton.nytimes.com

My heart ached when I was reminded that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for trying to make academic knowledge more accessible to the public. Meta, meanwhile, is doing it for their own bottom line. I'm going to guess that no one at Meta will be looking at spending 35 years in jail for this.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.
