Dear Germany. Please resolve this quickly! (Obviously in a fair way). I’m trying to get my pitbull to Ireland and she has to go through Frankfurt. They canceled her flight on Monday. I’m going to bleed all my money if I have to keep rescheduling things.

Just heard someone on news refer to "DOGE" as the "Department of Government Efficiency Initiative." Lol. So it's not even a department. It's an "initiative," got it.

After interacting with deepseek more I'm convinced that one of the criticisms I heard, that they tuned their AI to the tests well, seems right. I can't do nearly as much w/ it as Chat GPT. I mean leading it down rabbit holes of conversation/roleplay, etc. Deepseek devolves into nonsense quickly.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

@sohrabahmari.bsky.social I just listened to an NPR story that featured you. No, but seriously when you say “Elon Musk is a danger to Trumpism,” what exactly do you think Trumpism is? “Naked oligarchy betrays the MAGA base”? Lol! Naked oligarchy is the goddamn point of Trumpism, dude.

way funnier than the conservatives who hated Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show are the conservatives who thought he was doing the ultimate patriotic ode to America

A few years ago, they were endorsing burning the USA flag,
and now Samuel L. Jackson is Uncle Sam at the Super Bowl.
Hollywood is desperately trying to get America to pay
attention to them again.

Dear Trump supporters: Some of you understand Trump/Elon don’t have your (or anyone else's) interests at heart. You now recognize them as con artists. This isn’t right v. left—it’s people v. absurdly blatant oligarchy. Growth starts with truth. Come away from the dark, hateful side. Be a patriot.

If you're protesting tomorrow: "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present." MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

This has got to stop. It’s not 1986. We have real time updates on how they vote, what stocks they sell, whether they’re outside the treasury right now. If they don’t start meaning what they say, they’re going to lose more and more ground.

Very serious Democratic strategists advise the party to allow Trump to illegally dismantle USAID -- a decision that will result in the unnecessary deaths of people around the world. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
When I asked veteran strategist David Axelrod whether Democrats were “walking into a trap” on defending foreign aid, he literally finished my sentence.

“My heart is with the people out on the street outside USAID, but my head tells me: ‘Man, Trump will be well satisfied to have this fight,’” he said. “When you talk about cuts, the first thing people say is: Cut foreign aid.”

Rahm Emanuel — the former House leader, Chicago mayor and diplomat — told me much the same: “You don’t fight every fight. You don’t swing at every pitch. And my view is — while I care about the USAID as a former ambassador — that’s not the hill I’m going to die on,” he said.

As a natural-born American, I hate to sound like a Russian sowing discord, but... Canada should not have come to the table. By doing so, they've given Trump a victory. A "30-day pause" is bullshit. They should have doubled their retaliatory tariffs and demanded a "4-year-pause" before letting up.

Congrats to @npr.org. Just heard this on News Now: “The DoD has expelled NPR & 3 other news outlets from [..] the pentagon, saying it wants to give access to newcomers.” NPR, NYT, NBC News, & Politico. I wonder if it’s any indication of who might be trying to report some semblance of “news”…

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.

A non-English delivery driver just ended up in the ditch on his way to me. I ran up and was like “dude you’re in the ditch!” (It’s dark) He had some English translation app on his phone and we managed to coordinate his way out of the ditch. Crazy how far our tech has come in the last 2 decades.
