These are the clowns who wrenched "You didn't build that!" so far out of context that context was left in an entirely different hemisphere. Is it good in general to have the media misrepresent what POTUS says? Yes. But until that condemnation is bilateral, nah. Miss me with the complaining, 🍊🤡

What I *really* want an interviewer to do with these desperate sweaty CEOs is say, "Now that Trump has said he wants you to call it 'Trump Intelligence' instead of 'Super Intelligence', are you planning to update your marketing?" and then don't reveal that you made it up until after they say yes.

The next logical step for these ghouls is to monetize this barbarity and make executions a pay-per-view extravaganza. Also, what these dumb fucks don't understand is that broadcasting this creates evidence for litigation. So...thanks, assholes.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

"[I]n his work to isolate Bonta, as well as his de facto leadership of the “moderate” opposition to the billionaire wealth tax measure on November’s California ballot, Newsom has effectively forfeited any claim to progressive support in 2028’s presidential primaries."

NYFed: By February 2026, Trump's tariffs had contributed 2.9 percentage points to consumer goods price inflation; without tariffs, goods prices would have fallen slightly. The tariffs raised the cost of imported goods AND their domestically-produced competitors.

I’ve covered death row cases for nearly a decade and witnessed several executions. What happened to Christa Pike wasn’t an anomaly. It could happen anywhere. With another execution planned for this week in Texas, let me explain why. THREAD 🧵

Read Keri. I don't think Americans realize how improvisational & sketchy these lethal injections are. Even for cocktails w/ some history of efficacy, the drugs are of uncertain compounding provenance or could be expired. & that's before we get to issues with effectively administering the drugs.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.
Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

Beyond the horrifying reality that a hospital is trying to "clear the pentobarbital from [Christa Pike's] system" currently, the litigation over Tennessee's actions this week will shine a very clear light on the many, many reasons why governments should not be trusted with killing their citizens.
