I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

Headlines today should be: "Trump calls on his supporters to "cheat like hell" in 2026 election." Followed by: "Trump was charged with crimes for attempting to overturn the 2020 election and incited the Jan 6 terrorist attack to remain in power despite losing." But corporate media won't do that!

Parts of Ohio are still without power and waiting on FEMA. The Strategic Reserve is at its lowest point in history. Gas prices are at seasonal record highs. Beef prices are at record highs period. Trump: best I can do is fake rename Lake Ontario and import diseased beef

www.forbes.com/sites/maryro... The EU rejected this beef due to safety standards, but it’s being imported to the U.S. duty-free anyway. Why are we lowering standards on what we eat? If it isn't safe enough for the EU, it shouldn't be on our plates!

I feel increasingly checked out from it all. Knowing every day is the best it will ever be going forward and it will only get worse for years to come feels incredibly bleak. It feels like 2016 was our Rome in 476. A moment we only later realize in retrospect marked a breaking point.

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

Lessons from my software supply chain adventures. * Control the build pipeline, control the artifact. * Declaritive image contents are the goal. Small image sizes are a byproduct. * Stop waiting for vendor patches. Update the base git hash & rebuild. Resulting in a 51MB #Python flask app.
