my dog when I ask what’s in his mouth

New Q & A is up! I answered questions about Trump and Russia, the "Krasnov" rumor, surviving a mafia state, the military purges and martial law, Musk's ambitions, and much more: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/your-quest...

there's something at the back of my brain that's been bubbling for awhile about so many tech executives going frothingly insane because virtually all of them understand that their real talent is financialization and financial manipulation, and they're all absolutely seething about it.

Thank you, these ones are pretty well hidden

New this am from @andrewperez.bsky.social @timdickinson.bsky.social and me for @rollingstone.com It’s….. yea. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

The dumbest Spider-Man point-off 😐

Anyone who jumped to Trump’s side because “SJWs made them” was already racist and just looking for a mask they could put on. “I’m not racist! I just get SO mad about people advocating for people of color that I’m going to vote for the racists.”

Teaching unwhitewashed history is not DEI. Stocking a Black-owned brands THAT PEOPLE BUY is not DEI. Recruiting HBCU grads is not DEI. Addressing racial disparities is NOT DEI. Treating LGBTQIA people like PEOPLE is NOT DEI Trump isn’t dismantling DEI He is reconstructing a WHITER supremacy

Looks like somebody has ADS: Acosta Derangement Syndrome.

According to educators, scholars and the actual definition, Trump's "Gulf of America" executive order is the purest example of critical race theory in presidential history. www.contrabandcamp.com/p/donald-tru...

My Destruction Above Replacement Event metric rates the California wildfires as the third worst natural disaster of the last two years. And I tell you where to get the best Baja tacos in Malibu. All that and more in the next Sliver Bulletin.

As a side effect of AI spam I now assume anyone who replies to a post with a milquetoast take using perfect grammar and repeating key words from the original post is using AI. Apologies if that’s your authentic conversational style

Everyone’s talking about how the AI bots made by Meta are bad, but just a reminder you can make your own Meta AI chatbot right inside Messenger and there’s definitely no problems there

The only bowl game I’ll watch this year, almost time to to see the mascot toasted! #PopTartBowl (Also, good game!)

If you asked AI to create the anti-Elon it feels like you might end up with Rose 👇🏽

UPDATE — 🇲🇽 president Claudia Sheinbaum writes to Trump saying: -border crossings are down 75% -🇺🇸 should spend more on peace, less on war -70% of illegal guns in 🇲🇽 come from 🇺🇸 -🇲🇽 will respond with more tariffs which hurt everyone FULL LETTER: www.threads.net/@thetnholler...

I was already excited to click on a news story about Rudy Giuliani having a meltdown in court today and YELLING at the judge. But nothing prepared me for the courtroom sketch

Because the below skeet went viral here, and people are arguing over it, I'm going to share some more info about it from a thread I did at the other place. I really need to just do an article about it but haven't done that yet. Until then, I hope readers find this thread useful. 🧵
