First one I recall at least. And there will never be a collective cinematic experience like it again

Yeah now imagine the amount of online crusaders that would be gone should Russia stop its BS. Social media has become a playground for nation states to interfere in foreign politics at scale. Liberal democracies need to defend against that even if that means getting accused of trampling free speech

This is crazy headline number to look at, especially given tendency of industrial businesses to have high operating leverage.

Been thinking lot about this piece. Annoying that admin had easier path to simultaneously improve US position globally, address Chinese "threat" and reduce their surpluses WHILE improving prospect for other EMs to prosper. Instead chose the path that forces most countries to go in opposite direction

JFC, this is low even by Forbes standards. Just incredible. MSM unfair coverage isnt about how they cover MAGA, its how they cover anything left of center.

It has been 15 years crypto has been around for and its patently clear its main and sole practical use case is money laundering. Unfortunately, grifters were able to convince large # of public otherwise and hook them gambling addiction. It will always be difficult politically to properly regulate it

And they are taking your ballots! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This list is shaping up to be pretty pretty good www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Dont know anything about this guy, but if he/his team are savy enough to somehow get Nick effin Mullen they are cooking. And there are probb quite a few notes est. dems should start taking

In WE its now not only acceptable as its also political savy move to use migrants as scapegoat for every problem. Too many migrants on the train, house prices too expensive because migrants will take bid anything, crime rates are only migrants, homeless people this and that.

what do you think this is? A CENTRALLY PLANNED ECONOMY?

If the last couple of Luckin shops I visited are anything to go by, he may need to start drinking a whole lot more

If the last time my country was invaded was in early 18 100's, I too would be bummed at spending 5% of GDP on defense,spec. to appease a guy that has shown not to be reliable in any negotiation. Just build some bridges and give some manufacturing subsidies and call it military spending I guess

10/10 no notes. youtu.be/bl8Z7Dl7P9A?...

Bit odd this attack seems to be one of the least popular things in the public's eyes and yet the criticism coming from the media is very mild compared to other, far more favourably pooled, actions taken by presidents before

The irony of it all is that just about every single FP action by this admin is conductive to nuclear proliferation at scale.

Was kind half asleep with TV on and Bibi's speech came on and had those "is this a dream?" feelings you have with how much it sounded like a sci-fi dystopian parody. He has Trump completely under his thumb, and given how effective flattery and bootlicking have been, wont others just pursue this?

The year is 2067. Once 18, Chinese citizens pick between having their own rail station or airport

Having a 1 hour discussion over the correct ranking of fruits. I'm at: 1)Mango 2)Banana 2)Oranges(inc Tangerines /clementine etc) 4)Apples 5)Peach 6)Grapes 7)Watermelon 8)Avocado 9)Figs 10)Blue+ Raspberry

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

Not talked enough with regards to US/China trade war. IF US does manages to reduce deficit with China(inc. third party countries used as intm.), then lots of DM and EM leaders will need to start making some very important decisions very soon www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/b...

This is the correct answer. The 3 Ps of the UK: Pubs, Parks and Panel Shows

The corollary to people looking much younger today than in the past is that at a certain age you age QUICK. This was him 2 years ago

NGL hats kinda slap in non military context

The (non) American eater wins again

Transcendental.

The top brass in the military is constrained by not being able to appear political. They can see how far they can push them. If you want a barometer of how successful they have been at it: Milley almost resigned because of showing up in military clothing in a staged photo op. Where are we now?

This is downright terrifying.
