It’s time for the Milk Hotel to choose a side

NEW YORK (AP) — Dow tumbles 748 points, and S&P 500 has worst drop in 2 months after discouraging reports on the US economy.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

KUDLOW: "There could be some short term, one-off price hikes. But at least for now, the economic signals are flashing slower growth and higher inflation. Not good." 😬😬😬

By the way, this is one of the issues where you might be able to make some headway with GOP reps if you live in a rural district. It has always been the heavily red rural districts that stopped them from destroying USPS in the past. Reps know their constituents depend on USPS.

My #1 rule of politics: Take yes for an answer when people come around to agreeing with you.

A James Bond TV show for a streaming service in 2025 is gonna be insufferable. Just 10 episodes of a guy that doesn't call himself either James Bond or 007 yet and then in the final episode, he orders a martini, shaken not stirred, and we all politely clap and Season 2 takes 5 years to come out

I’ll admit it: I am a pearlclutcher who really dislikes it when people use this dehumanising phrase to talk about people, and who cannot understand why people don’t immediately grasp why it is distasteful.

every time i mention that i use the subway someone (who usually has never been to New York or has never been on the subway at least) tries to convince me that i should be scared!! first of all how would you know, second of all i’m very much not scared!

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

taking health advice from a person who looks already deceased is certainly something

I talked to Robert, a farmer and rancher from Tucumcari, who is out $100,000 thanks to Trump's freeze of farmers' federal funds. Here's what he told me: youtube.com/shorts/lzDBi...

I get that a lot of people don’t like to read, which encourages reliance on ChatGPT and TikTok - but “aversion to reading” has been an issue for basically forever, and I believe that instead of just giving up, we should still be strongly encouraging people to read, because it’s good for society

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

People won’t like this but honestly the number 1 challenge for Democrats in 2024 and beyond is turning misinformed voters into somewhat informed voters. And that’s not going to be easy in this information landscape.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Duo was fatally hit by a Tesla Cybertruck, the language-learning company announced this week. The snarky owl has been the face of Duolingo for over a decade. Why his sudden demise, and what's next?
