They tell me giving away your writing for free is a "best business practice" in selling books. This is from Frogmarch Of The Oligarchs. You can check out After The Great Redo here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0GYXTBZCL And here: www.booksamillion.com/p/After-Grea...
There was a long pause after the Oval Office pleasantries and I placed my thumb on the screen to scroll away from this terribly disappointing and totall predictable scene. Something kept me watching though. The president had a certain look. I recall a closed-mouth smile and what seemed to be head nods to someone out of frame. Then the president stood up and said, “Now that we have you here, we’d like to remind you of our promise to the American people. I told them I would hold accountable those who had committed crimes against the nation, and that’s exactly what I intend to do.”
She nodded again and three secret service agents, one for each oligarch, strutted into frame and asked the men to stand. They did as they were told, and the secret service guys gently handcuffed them. “That promise starts today,” the president said. She wasn’t smiling anymore. “Right now.”
I dropped my beer. It fell to the floor and the glass splintered into a hundred pieces. Everyone looked up from their phones and I jumped off my barstool and without even thinking shouted for the bartender to turn on the news. She did, and there for everyone to see were three of the most powerful men alive being frogmarched out of the Oval Office. They didn’t look angry as much as they looked bewildered, as if they were unsure whether this was really happening. You could see how stunned they were despite all the fucked-up facial surgeries that kept them frozen in time.

Media Outlets Don't Understand This Political Environment
The idea that control of the House is going to come down to one or two seats is absurd.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Mark Zuckerberg says companies need more 'masculine energy.' What does that even mean?
Zuckerberg said the workforce has been "culturally neutured." With anti-DEI rhetoric on the rise, will women feel the impact?

This is the first thing I've read that made me feel not crazy. It feels like the average person and even the media is whistling past the graveyard, too stuck on American exceptionalism with "it could never happen here" while the Trump regime does whatever it wants with little to no actual pushback.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...
Who’s
running
this
country:
Donald Trump or
Elon Musk?
Since day one, Elon has created chaos and confusion and put our
livelihoods at risk. And he is accountable to no one but himself.
The Constitution only allows for one president at a time. Call Your
Senators and tell them it’s time Donald Trump fire Elon Musk

Hey @harrisfootball.com , I was wondering why you have Dalton Schultz ranked so low at 21. Just for comparison, he’s 10 on FantasyPros. He seems like a tough decision with Pat Freiermuth to me but you have a huge disparity. Wondering what I’m missing.

One of the best things I’ve picked up from listening to @harrisfootball.com is to evaluate players based on how they look on film instead of their stats because that leads to thinking Kendre Miller is better than Alvin Kamara. This is how we get an advantage in fantasy football.

I think it illustrates how fragile progressive beliefs are when they aren’t based on life experience. All it takes is for one black person to get promoted over you and all of a sudden “maybe DEI has gone too far?” 🤷‍♂️

This is fucking hilarious…I posted a version of this tweet on Twitter and it wasn’t getting much engagement so I reposted it without the word “Bluesky” and it’s doing normally even though I didn’t even delete the original tweet. Manipulation and lack of respect in action.
The tweets in question. The non-Bluesky one has 651 likes and 18k impressions. The Bluesky one has 294 likes and 9.4K impressions.
