I know everyone likes to point at Twitter and say "Look at how Elon cut staff there and saved money," but that's really not the full story. Since he took over, they've lost 40% of their revenue and 80% of their valuation. That's not a success story.

From using private security to block elected officials from entering government buildings to making sure we have no ability to find out what they're doing, these guys are going to screw up our country for decades.

Today's memory! 11 years ago, my wife and daughter made an igloo in our backyard. It was solid enough that we had dinner there and they spent the night.

Selective outrage of the right.

Thank you @andykimnj.bsky.social for doing that. Next time, take everyone else from @housedemocrats.bsky.social with you.

“Actually it’s good that a bunch of teenagers are unilaterally firing thousands of government employees because they have ChatGPT” i can’t get over how unfathomably stupid the average SF venture capitalist is

Glad to see someone actually doing something

I see a lot of conservatives talking about how Canada doesn't understand that they're taking on Goliath. Apparently conservatives also don't understand that Goliath lost.

Up and out early, heading to DC with a stop at Philly to meet daughter. Tourist day in DC and then #Schmigadoon tonight!

Every bit of this

This is why all the BS about TikTok is just that, bullshit. If the US government really wanted to protect our privacy, they would be coming up with actual privacy laws.

Californians are no strangers to hate, but the hate we’re getting during these unprecedented fires is next level. Look into it—when other states face disasters, California steps up to help, no questions asked. Our governor and leaders don’t trash-talk the states in need! #AngelinoStrong 👊🏽

#Voices4Victory #ProudBlue Good Sunday morning, BlueSky friends! I just love this and hope you do, too. 😃 ❤️ 💃 ☀️🌊

From a FB post. Hey California friends…my friend’s dog sanctuary in Topanga has burned to the ground. 30 dogs looking for fosters ASAP. Please contact me if you can help, even help for a temporary basis it would do so much . Please call or text me on 248 520 0054

My theme song for #CES2025! After almost 15 years of doing this, I know how to razzle dazzle! youtube.com/watch?v=YLsM...

I need to get in some starter packs! I do talk politics, but I also talk about helping retailers/brands understand #emergingtech impacting physical space, including #AR/metaverse, #paymenttech and I'm writing book on #3rdplace w/ my daughter Sydney

Oh, he can just f^%$# all the way off.

Sen Chris Murphy is urging Ds to stop fluffing RFK. As he told me: "If we just accept that RFK is a mainstream nominee when he just finished telling us that maybe Covid was a genetically engineered virus...we’re cooked if that all of a sudden is normal." More below newrepublic.com/article/1895...

Yes, we're still recovering from the holidays. But you'll have major FOMO if you miss the 2nd annual, #AIinRetail by @rethink_retail during #NRF2025. You'll also have a chance to meet Global Retail Leaders & Top Retail Experts. Hope to see you there! rethink.industries/events/ai-in...

Our dogs, Connemara (l) and Doolin (c) and visiting dog Jasper (r) all looking like good dogs!

How in hell did anyone think this person, who lies non-stop, who tries to bully everyone, who is incapable of any positive human emotion, should lead our country again. He is nothing but a sad, tired, hateful person with nothing to offer to this country.

If he's serious?? WTH is wrong with @cnn.com these days? He's not talking about some minor territories here, he's talking war with other countries to forcibly take their land from them.

FOMO - Fear of Missing Out. Example, finding out the RETHINK Retail Gala is sold out. Seeing pictures afterward of cool people, holographic displays and robots and knowing you missed it. Don't have FOMO. Join us for the coolest event at #NRF2025. rethink.industries/events/rethi...

2 of the pups we have for adoption right now. They're Australian shepherd and pit mixes! Hit the link for all of our dogs! www.petfinder.com/search/pets-...

Heading to #NRF2025 next month? Don't miss the @RETHINK_Retail Retail Gala! It's going to be the hot ticket and it's filling up pretty quickly. You don't want to be the #retailer with FOMO the next day! Hit the link and join us on the 13th! rethink.industries/events/rethi...

Even just a little snow helps make it seem more like the Christmas season!

HELL YEAH: Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro SLAMS “President Elon Musk” for interfering with the budget process. “What does he know?? When the government is shut down, is he furloughed?? Hell no!”

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, Sam, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime. futurism.com/the-byte/ope...

They wanted to make sure they were dead last! In 2020, life expectancy was 3.9 years lower than the U.S. average. 42nd for cardiovascular disease diagnoses 47th for percentage of obese adults 46th for percentage of adults with diabetes 44th for health care quality 45th for public health

Rep. Chip Roy torches the Republican funding bill, saying it enables $5 trillion to be added to the debt and members of his party lack “self respect” if they vote for it after campaigning on fiscal responsibility.

Need a place to make bets on which disaster comes first. Call it the Draft Kings Riot

THEY DON'T WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT

Man, the right would be going out if their minds if Democrats had created a fake government entity and put top donors in charge of the fake entity and then made Congressional leaders beg them to support the government.

Dylan Roof killed 9 Black people trying to start a race war. He wasn't charged with terrorism.

My God. The 911 called was about my own son’s age. I can’t even imagine😔💔🙏

Yet another school shooting and another round of "thoughts and prayers" from those who could do something, but chose not to. But, Republicans are calling for Trump to issue an EO to change the 14th amendment b/c they don't like that one. Priorities, right? www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

I'm trying my best!

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Daughter has an interview for a full-time position at a zoo, need some good questions that she can ask them. Any ideas?

Look how an actual democracy deals with someone not fit to rule. So easy, isn't it?
