I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

listening to music on the computer in the 2000s

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

A message to fellow Patrick O'Brian fans: Just read "The Unknown Shore," his second pre-Aubrey/Maturin novel along with "The Golden Shore." Recommended! Not only does it have his usual verve and wit, you can see Aubrey and Maturin in larval form.

Really enjoying the dumbest people in America crashing the markets because they’re scared of mad king Donald Good work everyone

Absolutely tired of the psychodrama of one country being the problem of the entire planet.

Do people think that it’s sunk in yet for Musk that he will be referred to as a Nazi for the rest of his life? Like no matter what else happens, that man is a nazi in the history books.

The worst people in the world are like "They must be getting paid to hate me" when in reality everyone is happy to hate them for free

I'm CRYING he was speaking FRENCH

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

The only one on that group chat that even cared about National Security was the Reporter.

Finished the Green Bone Saga and missing your fave dysfunctional Janloon clan family? Now's the time to dive into the prequel short stories JADE SHARDS because the audiobook is 50% OFF! www.audiobooks.com/promotions/p...

Still very upset about all the Master & Commander sequels we deserved, wanted and needed but didn't get. 😭

"Russell Crowe’s Number 2 Dress Blues" ⚓🎬 The Royal Navy dress uniform worn by Russell Crowe as Captain Jack Aubrey in Master and Commander sold at auction in 2018 for AUS $115,000. A fitting price for such an iconic piece of cinema! #NavalHistory #MasterAndCommander #AgeOfSail #FilmMemorabilia

Reading @mollyxchang.bsky.social TO GAZE UPON WICKED GODS, and it’s really enthralling so far!

@sagapressbooks.bsky.social why is the font size so small even in the hardcover for James Islington’s The Will Of the Many? …so uncomfortable to read at this size.

Morning Bluesky. Canada is ditching plans to buy 88 F-35A fighter jets from the US because of Trump. The order was worth $19 billion. Defence Minister Bill Blair says they’re now actively seeking replacements.

"Another One for the Collection!" 📚⚓ It seems I’ve joined that merry band of folks who can’t leave the house without returning with a new book! The collection grows… but there’s always room for one more, right? Bargain for £4! #NavalHistory #BookCollectors #AgeOfSail #HistoryAddict

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

“The Great Gatsby is dated and irrelevant.” You’re right. What could a novel about a generation of young men becoming hustlers and white nationalists because they were sold a lie about the American Dream possibly have to say about our current moment?

Go Sweden! 🇸🇪

Y'all ever read a book that grips you in record time? Like you give the first chapter or so to see if it's for you, but it actually only takes about 3 pages? Because this is one of those books. Can't wait to read the rest! @amalelmohtar.com 🪐📚💙 #BookSky
