With CNN and CBS in the hands of the Ellisons and Fox in the hands of the Murdochs, pressure mounts on NBC to sell itself to either Marc Andreesen, Peter Thiel, or Elon Musk.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means. "Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat. This is unbelievably embarrassing.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

And meanwhile -- surprise! -- Trump's comments today help to dig him deeper into a different hole of illegality (same NYT report)
Screenshot reading: "Mr. Trump’s claim in his social media post that he would pay for the ads “myself” through his super PAC is likely to add fodder to another formal complaint against the president.

A campaign watchdog group, the Campaign Legal Center, accused Mr. Trump of violating federal election laws by directing his super PAC in a complaint to the Federal Election Commission because of his previous claims to control the super PAC.

Mr. Trump has referred to the super PAC’s funds as “my money that I control” in the past.

Federal law bars federal office holders from directing spending decisions for a political organization with no contribution limits, such as a super PAC."

Like I truly don’t understand how you could have been anywhere in the vicinity of Springfield Ohio even before the election and thought that he’d only go after “criminals.” Trump, Vance, and CO werent subtle in the slightest. I can only really conclude this was a lie the median voter told themselves

Oh, I get it. They set aside money to cushion their own districts/states against the horrific effects of OBBB. And Trump raided the cookie jar when everyone is about to starve. Yeah that should be quite interesting, does explain besides stupidity why the GOP thought OBBB was safe to do. Oops!

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Fact was, it was common for rivers in industrial cities to catch fire from all the crap on them. In an 18-month span, the Rouge in Detroit, the Buffalo River and the Cuyahoga caught fire. Randy Newman only wrote a song about one of them, though. (And I'm glad you clarified this is from 1952.)
