As we’ve been saying folks punchbowl.news/archive/2282...

So true!

Quite the management technique. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

GM!

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

I have failed you all. JUST IN CASE ANYONE ELSE DOESN'T KNOW, watch Wheel of Time if you want to see Rosamund Pike and Sophie Okonedo play badass powerful witches who are secret girlfriends.

So, hey! This is a thing that’s gonna happen: “Star Trek: Khan is based on a story by Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan writer and director, Nicholas Meyer. Kirsten Beyer and @davidmack.bsky.social serve as writers on the audio series.” #StarTrek #StarTrekKhan

None of this would feel nearly as bad if the Democratic Party was run by real opposition leaders.

Fun goal

Another paper showing climate shocks lead to support for climate action among conservatives. Analyzing data collected in Florida, the paper finds Republican positions change after personally experiencing loss from climate-exacerbated extreme events. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Oh, man, not Gene Hackman. 2025 can just fuck right off. Okay. Let me tell you a little bit about Gene Hackman...

Good news, Elon Musk has tens of billions in loans secured against Tesla. If Tesla goes bankrupt he will go completely bankrupt as all his current possessions will be needed to pay his debts. Time for Tesla to tank.

Yes totally true on how it feels. 😂

SHAEDON SHARPE, MY GOODNESS

Oh my (via NBA)

Tesla stock is down 25% so far this year after dipping 8% yesterday. It's become humiliating to drive a Tesla in LA, and he's getting his ass kicked by China. I love this journey for Elon because there's still so much lower the stock can go. I believe in us! www.cnbc.com/2025/02/25/t...

This happens a lot, this kind of gutting. And now every time I see a story or post like this, I'm gonna use it to remind folks about the @greenwell.bsky.social book coming out June 10 on the destruction caused by private equity. Find out more/preorder Bad Company here: www.megangreenwell.com/book

Oh hey our pal Damon Lindelof (LOST, WATCHMEN, LEFTOVERS) swung by the studio to dish some #Severance theories among other things with me. Check it out, Lumon-heads. youtu.be/gcXzbWtGquI?...

Bezos’ own company relies on the U.S. postal service for deliveries to rural areas. How’s that for economic freedom?

“thank god someone is doing my job”

"Amazon deliveries." This is Jason Calacanis, a venture capitalist & prominent Musk toady. And he does not know a big percentage of Amazon deliveries are made by the USPS. I will never get over how stupid the people at the top of US society are.

It is amazing on how quickly time passes in the last week I have seen facebook memories that it now has been 3 years since I broke bones in my left hand and now 8 years ago since I took a trip to Iceland.

As a Boomer I try to be humble about health care, student loan, child care & retirement pressures folks face, especially during high interest rates, but the story doesn’t speak to any of this, which definitely seems off. A 0-down 7% mortgage would be ~$1,600/mo. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I would die on the spot of shame if I were this spineless.

Newsletter: There is no AI Revolution. Consumer adoption of generative AI outside of ChatGPT is barely 100 million people, every single company in generative AI is deeply unprofitable, Microsoft is pulling capex, and OpenAI spent $9bn in 2024 to lose $5bn. www.wheresyoured.at/wheres-the-m...

Uh... am I the only one who missed this bit of news?

She's the most effective voice in the party. It's not close. I don't care who the House Democrats, DNC, Senate Democrats or anyone else appointed/elected. Besides, Congressional leadership and most who support them just tell us they can't do "anything" over and over. Follow someone who is leading.

Always deeply relevant

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

with certain storylines that are beat for beat things I've lived through, I grow more certain that The Pitt is trying to kill me personally. John Wells et al, what have I done to deserve this (Goddammit I love this show btw)

Everybody in Minnesota and Carolina have known how good Brock Faber and Jaccob Slavin are. Now the entire hockey world does. After thriving at 4 nations, #mnwild’s Faber and Canes’ Slavin will give the U.S. a no brainer Olympic shutdown pair My piece>>> www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

So… @chrislhayes.bsky.social , @maddow.msnbc.com , you guys gonna stand there while most of your non-white colleagues are fired or have their roles minimized at @msnbc.com ? You both have spent years telling people to stand up for fair treatment. Now let’s see you do it.

Good tips

Yes this is so true!

Southern Arizona skies are most colorful during the monsoon, between July through September.

Whether you’re running a brewery (ahem) or any kind of business, I feel like you should know people in cars are the MOST FICKLE customers. In MN, these people are the first to ditch you when parking is the slightest inconvenience (or it’s cold, or something else is closer, or it’s cheaper at Target)

The truth is out there: David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson just had an X-Files reunion at the #SAGAwards. 📸: ShutterstockNow

53 things she did last week: Gave unanimous consent during a fucking coup.

#AvatarTheLastAirbender fans...gonna have something cool dropping tomorrow on @tvinsider.com ! #atla

Such a cute dog!

#birds one of the very neatest yard birds I've ever had and its been here all winter. I don't think it showed up til winter started. It's been a big fan of the buffet. I see it out in the Pines on occasion. 👀😂

Yes that is the accusation.

Terminal case of techbro disease. They literally cannot comprehend that a shit-ton of people work for the government doing things that don't involve e-mail at al whatsoever.

NO KINGS is extremely effective because it’s simple, an extremely widely held belief, and gets right to the core of Trump’s assault without having to use words lots of people don’t understand

Good work Bernie.

What could possibly have happened in the last two months to change people's interest?
