Rest in peace to the director of Weekend at Bernie's, but also his estate has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

Unbelievably bad deal for Greenlanders. Not only would they get slightly less subsidy (fewer public services, more private cash), but they have to accept US cost disease for healthcare, higher ed, infrastructure, etc?

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I would say more broadly that as policy you really shouldn’t allow government officials to accuse people of *terrorism* anonymously.

oh you mean like every other time they've tried this? everywhere else in the world?

🚨THOUGHTCRIME ALERT🚨

Gonna take this opportunity to say that I can personally deliver no script for as little as 7 million, and I know some other writers who can do it for as little as five million.

found another one. might use it as a vip entrance or something

What did we ever do to these guys that made them so violent?

President Trump's nominee to head NASA, Jared Isaacman, really really really really really did not want to admit that Elon Musk was in his meeting with Trump, when Isaacman was offered the NASA post. This ranks up there as some of the worst testimony that I have ever seen on Capitol Hill.

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

happy confederate surrender day to all

They're just flat out legislating "time isn't real" in order to prevent Trump's insane tariffs from expiring.

“let’s rapidly increase all of our energy usage to power AI so it can tell us how to eventually solve problems like climate change” is exactly as smart as “let me cut out my liver now to make room for a new health-enhancing super-organ somebody might invent”

I made an observation a while back that the training for chat LLMs is "teaching to the Turing test" in that they become very good at fooling people into thinking they are talking to a human and not much more, but I guess LLMs for coding also have "teaching to the unit test" issues

lmao

The right said lefties were anti free speech because they were socially mean to people they disagreed with. Then the right got power and started to kidnap people they disagreed with, in unmarked vans, and hold them without legal process. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/o...

I'm not kidding that any Dem who wants to run in 2028 should get out ahead of this and loudly say if El Salvador puts American citizens in Trump's gulag we'll fucking invade.

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...
