Seattle Car Things

Yelling at the Pope for his car going the wrong way down the street is the most New York you can get

This is literally the only thing investors heard today, and for some unknowable reason, it's seen as a good thing.

Fun fact: if you think the earnings call will be insane, wait till you learn the stock price is up today.

The only way Target is ever going to bring back Black and Queer customers is to restore DEI and fire failed leadership. Meeting with Al Sharpton of all people is just performative bullshit of the highest order.

The deepest reporting so far shows the government is fighting at the Supreme Court and in public to keep someone in a foreign torture camp based on an obvious lie given by a single unnamed source to an inarguably corrupt police officer. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
