Trump on calling Zelenskyy a dictator: “Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question.”

Really enjoyed chatting with @karaswisher.bsky.social about Tik Tok, Trump, attention and The Sirens' Call open.spotify.com/episode/2jLQ...

This is worth another watch

Did my very first book interview today for The Sirens' Call and it made me realize how much Musk is woven into the book's core argument and how the the worst tendencies the book identifies are just exploding before our eyes right now. sirenscallbook.com

Got an email from an angry viewer for covering this last night so re-upping this article from @haaretzcom.bsky.social which is extremely extensively reported and disturbing. Here’s a gift link. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Know who else loves a US government shutdown? Vladimir Putin.

The Musk-Johnson government shutdown bill has been soundly defeated. MAGA extremists in the House GOP are not serious about helping working class Americans. They are simply doing the bidding of their wealthy donors and puppeteers. Unacceptable.

What is Ukraine's role in Assad's bloody dictatorship being thrown down? The connection is direct!The opposition's lightning-speed march became possible also thanks to the resilience&bravery of Ukrainian Defenders-they forced Putin to get stuck in the full-scale war with Ukraine for almost 3 years

Things you won’t see on Twitter.

Trump appointing industry lobbyists as well as CEOs who will now be able to regulate their own companies (or not) was utterly predictable, so much so that hardly anyone will remark upon it. Oligarchy has arrived www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I've spent the weeks since election day stuffing takes into my take gun (like those t-shirt guns they have at NBA games) and so this week on #WITHPod, producer Doni Holloway kindly interviewed *me* on my own podcast so I could fire the take gun into the crowd. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
