Congress has not received any new intelligence since Gabbard told lawmakers in March that the U.S. believed Iran was not building a new nuclear weapon, according to two people familiar with the intelligence.

they should do something about this heat dome. maybe turn on a fan or something. that’s just my hot take

Note on the #NerdReich & #techbroligarchy

Who wants to speedrun #SanDiego to #Atlanta on June 28-29 with an overnight in Austin?

I feel like this is the time to publish my thought-piece on the pro-social value of #shitposting. https://flipboard.com/@rollingstone/all-news-bogkkc4vz/-/a-kB4lKMLKSsiRs1fLFyTDrA%3Aa%3A3199477-%2F0

I feel like the couple on the Strip wearing identical ā€˜I Survived 30 Years of Marriage and All I Got Was This T-Shirt’ t-shirts are probably very well-matched.

Dogs are the best people. Don’t @ me.

They wear masks to cover their faces while kidnapping people because they are cowards who are ashamed. They already have Big Feelingsā„¢, mainly fear, anxiety, and insecurity. Those chinks in the armor. Pour doe urine in the gaps. Make them chafe. Make the status quo intolerable. #BeUngovernable

It do be like that. #CollegeFootball #TennesseeVols https://flipboard.com/@thenewsdesk/top-stories-in-sports-2v7jl084z/-/a-sroglivWQTub8OTUFFVpTw%3Aa%3A43591897-%2F0

ā€œ In a short, one-paragraph order, the Republican justices ruled on Monday evening that President Donald Trump may effectively nullify a federal law and an international treaty that is supposed to protect immigrants from torture .ā€ […]

"Military hardliners are grabbing power from clerics. That could mean they try to extricate themselves from the war now in order to fight another day. But in the medium term it could signal that the regime becomes more extreme, not more pragmatic." www.economist.com/middle-east-...

Today you also learned there were fans of professional basketball in the State of Oklahoma. https://flipboard.com/@thenewsdesk/top-stories-in-sports-2v7jl084z/-/a-4kx3_G5gSS-_0aB3Anssow%3Aa%3A43591897-%2F0

Bill Essayli once warned Jan. 6 prosecutions would ā€œcriminalize political differences.ā€ Now he’s throwing the book at anti-ICE protesters.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

A strange quote from Peter Thiel that explains a lot: ā€œThe one part of the Christian view that I believe more strongly than anything is that death is evil, that it’s wrong and we should not accept it and fight it any way we can.ā€ Seems like a bold misinterpretation of the Eternal Life concept.

My vision is that he tries to pick up a dead bear, only to discover it’s still alive.

Customs & Border Patrol is the Meme Policeā„¢ now.

You know those sci-fi and post-apocalyptic stories where villains are destroying information to enforce control, and heroes called ā€œknowledge keepersā€ or something valiantly preserve humanity’s wisdom?

Funny how we're suddenly scared of "Iranian sleeper cells" while front page news is about a Republican who just murdered U.S. politicians, had a hit list, and shares the exact same cult religious ideology with half of Congress and the Supreme Court… But, I digress.

The problem for Trump now is, his governing strategy depends on creating an escalating series of novel dramatic shitshows. But he's running out of novelty now, all he can do is escalate and/or create variations on *existing* shitshows. That does not lend itself as well to control of the newscycle

comptroller actually comes from the roots ā€œcom,ā€ ā€œpter,ā€ and ā€œholler.ā€ it translates literally to ā€œwings hollering together.ā€ how that applies to modern government has been lost to time in a disturbing trend of cargo culting government titles down the generations

It’s not shocking that this ceasefire didn’t last, it’s shocking that we have a country full of people who simultaneously have zero memory and zero foresight.

In my first job out of college, I learned that SENDING OUT COMMUNICATIONS IN ALL-CAPS DID NOT REINFORCE MY CREDIBILITY, EFFECTIVELY PERSUADE, NOR RESULT IN DESIREABLE OUTCOMES. YMMV

The rise of litigation financing comes with plenty of downsides, but taxing it solves nothing. https://news.bloombergtax.com/tax-insights-and-commentary/litigation-funding-tax-proposal-solves-nothing-besides-optics

Ahhhhh #Shreveport. 90min wait for a rental car because National’s shit was fractally not together. Ended up with a Nissan Rogue. My hotel is situated between a railroad and Biff’s Pleasure Palace. The night clerk looks like she’s seen some shit go down at a Waffle House. There are multiple […]

Requiring CW for all politics only works for people who have life that is not marked as "political"

#MAGA wants to turn all of ā€œblueā€ America into #Gaza. Hear me now, believe me later.

#DanielPink on #ViktorFrankl via #LinkedIn: Viktor Frankl survived Auschwitz. Then he wrote one of the most powerful books ever written: Man’s Search for Meaning. Here’s what he discovered—and why it still matters today. Frankl’s core idea: ā€œHe who has a why to live can bear almost any how […]

šŸŽÆ The housing crisis will not be solved with money alone. šŸŽÆ It’s not a numbers problem — it’s a systems problem. šŸŽÆ And pouring money into a broken system just breaks it faster. We’ve built a system that makes it hard to create the kind of modest, incremental, people-scaled housing our […]
