One of the most important parts of true adulthood is realizing - no one can stop you from ordering like a small child on a bender.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

That was how I felt when I watched Adrian Peterson. It just didn’t seem fair that he was faster AND stronger.

60 Minutes (@60Minutes) on X:

“This is the first time in my adult life where there's been an issue that's come up that I feel like is going to directly impact me,” says Dave Lowe, a lifelong conservative Republican who lives near a proposed data center in Texas.

When someone claims that a mistake just happens in the system, and it's always the same kind of mistake, and it always benefits the person who set up the system... It's not a mistake. It's happening on purpose.

Quite incredible that the richest man on earth who has legitimately done all sorts of things from paying people to vote and purchasing media in order to twist it to his will is... claiming that Soros (who is not nearly as wealthy) has done the very things Musk absolutely does.

"Our national debt continues to pose an existential threat to the future of our nation," says House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington, who has led GOP-only bills that increase the national debt by $3.4 trillion (OBBB), $72 billion (ICE/CBP) and $95 billion (Recon 3, in progress).

This is a great comparison. In particular, it feels like that one group chat user who was still buying shares in the Bank through it all. Just because you can put something in a graph, it doesn’t mean you have analyzed it. One line chart and a couple of catchy acronyms does not an investment make.

Hello id like to spend all at once please
4 panel comic. 

Panel 1: A pink blob character in suit tells Forg “you did a good business”

Panel 2: the pink blob in suit hands forg a dollar bill. He says “here is your pay”

Panel 3: forg holds the dollar bill. The man in suit walks off the frame. He reminds forg “don’t spend it all at once”

Panel 4: we see now that forg didn’t really listen to his advice. He stands in front of a building labeled “things you don’t need store”, dollar bill still in hand ready to be spent

I’d go further — it also means an executive mindset based on short term Zaslavian plunder, not just prioritizing growth over long term sustainability but actively undermining the concept of a thriving company beyond the exec’s personal payout.

I would like to see more companies admit this - being a public company no longer means running a successful, thriving business. It strictly means delivering growth to investors, every single quarter, who do not care at all about the product the company sells or the people who produce it.

To make things worse, AI *can't do the jobs* it's replacing: AI is predicated on the premise that monopolies, duopolies and cartels that control the global economy can deliberately worsen their products without suffering economic or regulatory consequences, because they're the only game in town. 4/

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
