A clip showing Musk seemingly forgetting about his 4 y/o son while waking off the stage at CPAC is making rounds

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

(CNBC) - The Trump administration’s purge of federal workers may ultimately amount to the biggest job cut in U.S. history, which is likely to have ramifications for the economy, especially at the local level, according to economists. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/23/h...

It was “his turn” over AOC

Kenny Pickett said that he will coach the upcoming #Pitt Spring Game this April #PittBS www.si.com/college/pitt...

When I used to use a lot of coke I would get some paranoid ideation, but they were mostly things like "everyone in this club knows I'm on coke and are all talking about it."

Like to play a game called what will keep my from sleeping? Anxiety over what's happening in the country or the party in the hotel room down the hall.

Jeffries: hey the GOP controls the government, absolutely nothing i can do, gonna work on my personal book tour Sanders: brb i am going to personally barnstorm strategic GOP house districts and try to peel off 2 votes so we can block Trump's cuts to Medicaid www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Elon Musk is firing people who don't deserve it and Pitt can't even fire Jeff Capel. Doesn't seem right.

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Pitt falls 76-72 to Notre Dame on the road. Its record is now 16-11, 7-9 in the ACC. That is a really bad loss. Whatever slim hopes of an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament remained going into today are gone. This team has talent but they've fumbled away opportunity after opportunity to get here.

The Elon regime is effectively about making the lives of hundreds of thousands of government employees miserable. Not even so they quit, tho that too, but first and foremost out of an ideological commitment to hating public sector workers & public services.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

“Musk: ‘Yeah. Um. so. Yeah. So. Yeah. I mean. Really.’” “He appears to be trying to start a sentence. Eventually he breaks down laughing. Someone in the crowd cheers, he turns to them.” www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

This data is way too limited but this could be a cure for pancreatic cancer. How can we know if it is? And if it is, how can we access it? By funding scientific research. And with health agencies that can review data to ensure safety & efficacy, approve new treatments, & make sure they are covered.

Been in Pittsburgh for two days now and that ballpark deserves a WAY better team playing in it

he already had a shot at smiling at a juror and getting acquitted, he might end up spiking the football on them too

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

Voters, activists and even some governors, like Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, are growing exasperated with congressional Democrats’ restrained approach www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump take car

what the moment calls for is fighters instead of gormless boobs who should have retired 30 years ago. policy differences can be hashed out later, everyone can agree that Musk and Trump must be stopped and democracy restored

The University of Pittsburgh confirmed Friday that there would be no new Ph.D. offers of admission while Pitt works to understand how reduced federal aid could impact the institution.

Janet Mills stood up to the President. Kathy Hochul couldn't even do it to Mayor Adams.

Pitt's 2nd commit in the class of 2026 is Issac Patterson - 6'0, 180 pounds, 3* safety from Westerville, OH. Held offers from Kent State, Miami OH, Ohio, Toledo and some other assorted MAC/Ivy League/FCS schools. 52 tkls, 7 PBU, 1 INT, 5 touchdowns and 813 AP yards during an All-State junior year.

Trump slump

@JeffPassan tweeted The New York Yankees’ antiquated facial-hair policy is finally dead. Yankees players are now allowed to have “well-groomed beards.” 💬 @Yankees Statement from Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner on the alteration of Yankees facial hair policy:

"Computer, generate Rap Star Luc Longley with seasonal affective disorder"

He sounds worse than Biden at the debate

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Democrats Do-One-Popular-and-Righteous-Thing Challenge: Failed again

This whole saga has, I think, demonstrated very well my contention that American political journalists believe that they deserve all of the respect and deference that comes with filling a vital societal role, while rejecting the idea that holding such a position also entails duties and obligations.

the kids table of journalism is back at it again

Star of Leopard News Asks That Friend’s Face be Spared

The guy from Reacher has a decades old feud with Matt Gaetz ahahahahahahahahahahaa Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Beyond maddening.

A 10% universal tariff on $3.25 trillion of annual US merchandise imports would potentially raise ~$300 billion. Last year, US personal income tax brought in nearly 30x that.

Reacher is a fucking prince.

In today's Quinnipiac poll, 40% of Democrats approve of the way congressional Democrats are handling their job. 49% disapprove. In 2017, those splits were 64-28 (+36) among Democrats. That's *really* bad approval among your own voters. Lot of time to turn it around, but there's a risk here.

New Quinnipiac Poll on Elon Musk Favorable/Unfavorable 38% Favorable 50% Unfavorable Approve/Disapprove 42% Approve 54% Disapprove Too Much/Too Little/Right Amount of Power 55% Too Much 36% About Right 3% Too Little poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

New low in Trump’s approval on 538 even before the Q poll is included — from a public sentiment standpoint the trend is basically playing out as you’d expect:
