I wonder if you can guess, without reading the headlines, which TWO people in this picture just got fired from the Joint Chiefs. Go ahead, take a wild guess. Pick two.

TFW your basement neighbour puts an Adderall-fuelled psychopath in charge of their home, and he right away starts pounding on the ceiling/floor and shouting up "YOU GOT NICE STUFF!!! YOU SHOULD TO GIVE ME ALL YOUR STUFF!!!" and you're like, ugh, now I got THIS to deal with.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Art of War was a manual for 5th century BC noble failsons to prevent them from losing the entire army to diarrhea. This is why it appeals so much to oligarch failsons of the 21st century AD.

Looking forward to more deep insights from Politico. "Wait, there were *two* presidents named Roosevelt?" "Not many people know that RFK Jr isn't the first in his family to enter politics." "His name was Lincoln? Really? Like the tunnel?"

The UK has a shadow cabinet - political positions within the party that isn’t in power - and so should we. Plus, we need weekly press briefings led by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on the state of the union. Business-as-usual time is over.

That Super Bowl was a gift for black artists. Kendrick showed us a way forward in this time of facism. Coded language. Storytelling. Aggressive humor and joy. Elevated artistry in the place of mere entertainment. Not obeying in advance. Saying the thing that respectability doesn’t want us say.

"I do not share your view that the Scientist should observe silence in political matters, i.e. human affairs in the broadest sense. The situation shows whither this restraint will lead: to the surrender of leadership, without any resistance, to those who are blind or irresponsible.” -Einstein, 1933

“Even Cowgirls Get the Blues” is my favorite novel of all time. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve read it. Will have to pull it out again soon. RIP to a counterculture literary legend www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Kendrick Lamar uses the Superbowl half-time show to put out a piece of deeply impressive performance art that examines black masculinity and American patriotism in a way that enrages the right wing commentators. New York Times: OMG, he wore bell bottom jeans!

@dieworkwear.bsky.social, please, I don't want a world where Elon gives TV interviews in a t-shirt, overcoat indoors and a ballcap. And Alina Habba appears on a TV interview in what appears to be a leather top unbuttoned to her bra, and a fur stole around her shoulders. Is there help?
