I don’t think some people get the cops/feds can just make up shit about you and it sticks. One of the times I’ve been cuffed, cops said I was some lady w/ a similar name wanted for check fraud trying to score drugs—in reality I was ME walking out of a Time’s Up legal defense meeting and into a Lyft.

My wife and I just watched #Sinners and enjoyed it a lot. Be sure to stick around as there is a whole mod credits scene. We saw several people leave. In terms of the movie there are a couple plot points that didn’t get explained. But overall it was pretty good and Coogler is staying something here

EXACTLY.

My wife and her friend went and said everything was very well organized and set up. Including LA Metro service.

Every company should do this! Every single one. But make it Trump Tariff Surcharge.

“Stocks are crashing because investors are in a bad mood, and the reason they are in a bad mood is because they are not getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids,” he said.

Boat derangement syndrome

My son and I just got back from seeing it. The theater was pretty full at our 11am showing. Not packed but larger crowd than we’ve seen post Covid…my son mentioned as much. Kids were cheering at some character cameos and clapped at the end of the movie. My son enjoyed it. I thought it was fun/fine.

All those seasons of playing Wilson Fisk and I just realized @vincentdonofrio.bsky.social does a really good Richard Nixon when he bellows at his staff.

Nintendo Halts Switch 2 Pre-Orders Over Trump's Tariffs New tariffs threaten massive price hikes on gaming hardware and other consumer goods

Imagine you’re Timothy Haugh, a decorated general, confirmed unanimously by the Senate to head the NSA. And while you’re traveling abroad, you find out the President just fired you on the advice of a 9/11 truther whose bigotry once got her banned by Uber.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Mmmmm you can smell the fraud cooking

President Trump unveiled tariffs of at least 10% Wednesday on virtually the entire world, with one notable exception: Russia.

I’ll always be disappointed and sad that Val Kilmer and I never became best friends. I was a huge fan from the moment I saw Top Secret! and watched just about everything since. If you haven’t seen it, watch his bio-documentary he made. It’s tremendously good.

NEW: No fewer than 10 principle scientists at NIH investigating emerging infectious diseases and neural disorders were among those fired by RFK Jr. today. One is an esteemed scientist awarded for breakthrough research into the causes of Parkinson's disease. By me and @emilymullin.bsky.social:

9/11 proved this true. American flags everywhere but sacrifice nowhere to be found except by service members. We could never ration or save like Americans did during WW2.

I used to be able to search for things and get a pretty decent result. It’s all garbage now. Everything monetized to such a degree that it’s all useless.

🤗 Good morning! If you enjoyed humiliating President Musk in yesterday’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election, please join the over 350,000 of us who are taking to the streets on Saturday: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

So, the DOGE kids intend to rewrite the social-security administration's COBOL code-base! and they want to do it ... ... in *a few months* I did a huge dive into COBOL a few years ago (www.wealthsimple.com/en-ca/magazi...) ... ... so let me explain why DOGE is *way* over its skis here 1/9

Everyone who studies Trump closely—this author included—said to take his many prior intimations about seeking a permanent presidency seriously. More often than not we were scoffed at by the normopaths in journalism who still don't understand that this man is a sociopath and fascist. We were right.

SCOOP: The White House plans to impose its own seating chart for reporters in the briefing room in coming weeks, taking over a function long managed by the reporters themselves through the White House Correspondents' Association.

Then the state needs to start arresting people.

I also blame all the techbros and marketingbros who used “disruption” to mean a good thing. They normalized flipping over tables (real housewives style) as some kind of anti-status quo positive outcome. A monkey flinging shit at a funeral is disruption too. And that’s what we’ve got now.

Perfect 🤣🎯

A Harvard political scientist studied change movements around the world and found that 3.5 percent of a population taking to the streets can demand redress from a government and achieve political change. That’s 12 million Americans.

It’s unacceptable that we are even allowing this kind of talk to continue. EVERY person in America especially elected officials should be standing firm that this talk of invading or taking over Greenland is unacceptable. We had more people debate and stand up when we talked about invading Iraq.

This isn’t normal or acceptable.

Pretty much all true crime stuff is garbage.

Culture war has reached new heights! Last month Trump targeted the Kennedy Center because MAGA wants to control what goes on stage there And now he's targeted The Smithsonian's African American History Museum because he wants to rid it of any "Anti-American Ideology" apnews.com/article/trum...

WATCH: ProPublica is keeping a list of who works for DOGE, and we recently added 20 names to our tracker, bringing the total to 66. We’ve also been reporting on who is in charge. Is it Elon Musk and his lieutenants, or is it an obscure bureaucrat named Amy Gleason? 📽️: @josesepulveda.bsky.social

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Finished my rewatch of Andor and it’s still so stirring and worthy of all the praise. More so now as we begin to see a government close its fists around us. Every step they take to push us back, we need to push back in the opposite direction. They’ll push harder, but there’s more of us.

Elon’s had fourteen kids with four different women, allegedly through sex-selective in vitro fertilization, giving them names like Exa Dark Sideræl and Tau Techno Mechanicus, and it’s amazing we don’t talk about how thoroughly weird that really is.
