Mayor Max is merely no more than a puppet for the team around him that controls what he says and does!

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

Sounds like they’re about to learn a great lesson in the art of a deal. They being the ghouls who did this in the first place.

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

Captures it perfectly.

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

hell yeah I accept it

half-baked sociological "analysis" with artless, exploitative photography? that's a chris arnade special

folks she made a website with a few buttons on it using ChatGPT and wanted to know how to hook “hubgib” to Vercel and run her app. Because ChatGPT told her she needed to do that. And I told her I was busyyyyy

chat, why is my mom trying to use vercel to launch an app?? she is a high school teacher????

It’s so ridiculous, how could I resist

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m starting to think the only thing that kept the planes from crashing before was diversity.

is the goal merit or is the goal segregation?

The CFPB has returned $17 billion to American consumers. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s companies have taken billions in taxpayer-funded subsidies. If he really cared about saving taxpayers money, he’d start with himself.

It’s even more than that, his wealth is likely majority represented by his ownership of these companies. You affect the company, you affect his wealth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The closure of CFPB highlights the grand lie at the heart of DOGE. CFPB is cheap to run & delivers billions to victims of corporate scams. It’s the definition of value for money. But X & Meta hate it because it targets big tech fraud. DOGE is not about waste. It’s about enriching the oligarchy.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

I’ve been subbed since college and I left after their overtly cautious and dismal coverage of Elon‘s “roman” salute. All of the news agencies that reported it for what it is are still around, and I’m subbed to them now. So what did they accomplish? Hope it was worth it!

Sounds... efficient? "There are no more civil servants now than there were in the late 1960s, even as the population they serve has grown by two-thirds." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

Those millions of white men who lost out to a “DEI hire” in pursuing high-level jobs? It didn’t happen. #DEI www.wsj.com/business/dei...

I know Reddit isn’t real life but sometimes Reddit is so not real life that I question my own understanding of reality.

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

The real problem in most cities isn’t that the density of people or the density of buildings is “too high.” It’s that the density of cars is too high.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

tell me why i received a whole ass encrypted PDF from citi just to say "sorry we know all you did yesterday was look at our loans page yesterday, but don't even bother, you can't afford it 💅" like??? i didn't even apply citi!

1am me really ate with this alt text

It was very cold in Seattle today

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Imagine if your city did urban transformations like this. The 18th arrondissement of Paris, before and after, 2020 to 2024. Think about how that neighbourhood would feel after this change. How YOUR neighbourhood would feel. It can be. Just takes vision & leadership. HT @emmanuelspv.bsky.social

So Trump delays tariffs on Canada and Mexico at the last minute, after the stock market and Canadian dollar tanked. Now if they rebound, anyone who had “bought the dip,” perhaps (let’s just imagine), because they knew this was going to happen, would end up with a lot more money. Interesting.

turns out telling your manager "i have too much on my plate", but then rationalizing in the same sentence why all of it is on your plate, will actually NOT make you less stressed.

is it really a monday morning if i don't spend at least 5 minutes crying at my desk cause I actually listened to the lyrics of end of beginning by djo and they hit my caffeine-starved brain like a freight truck?

The richest man in the world has taken over the US government and his first order of business is taking revenge for the fall of apartheid in South Africa www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Rob ruined this season and I don’t really wanna watch anymore.

On the bright side, this excellent from the CA Dept of Education: "our offer is this: *nothing.*"

So boston rob is just homophobic right??? #traitorsUS

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.
