Who would have guessed that a couple of months into this shit show that the maga base would be mobilized to push electric cars.

I remember when they said the batteries only lasted a couple years, couldn’t be recycled, and were therefore wasteful.

Our secret plan to have Trump supporters buy electric cars and save the planet is proceeding as I have foreseen.

July 1987, Moscow, USSR — Trump, 41 years old, flies to Moscow at the invitation of Soviet Ambassador to the U.S., Yuri Dubinin.

Upon returning from Moscow, the bankrupt Trump suddenly receives loans from 16 banks and, without negotiation.

every season of the sopranos they’re like “well if it isn’t ________, the guy who has been in our gang this whole time and is also a complete psychopathic liability in every way” and it’s awesome

I have very nearly recreated my follow list in bluesky. It won’t be long now. Will feel great to delete this app when the time comes.

I’ll never understand why someone would chose the window seat in the airplane - and then never raise the window shade. There’s a spectacular world of clouds out there!

U.S. crude oil production is at a record 13.4 million barrels per day. No country has ever produced more than the U.S. is right now.

Why do all kitchen appliances have clocks in them? What do they have to prove?

This is a good. Someone fresh young and interesting. Hopefully not Gavin.

[POLITICO @politico]

A polling memo circulating among Dem party officials argues that the best chance to defeat Trump is with a new nominee independent of the incumbent admin.

In other words: not Kamala Harris.

If nothing else, Biden has been dominating the news cycle. Gotta give him that.

A lot of people have sent me this video as some how "proof" of French bureaucracy.

The truth is this was agreed in advance at the request of many of the men jumping so they could have a France 🇫🇷 Normandy stamp on their passport dated 6 June 2024.

Biden: "Pass this bill and I'll sign it."

Biden: "Fine, here's some executive action."

Republicans: "HOW DARE YOU!"

This is absolutely merciless, beautifully dedicated reporting, OpenAI is a disgrace and Sam Altman is a complete liar.

I feel pretty certain that sometime in the nearish future, society and esp. people outside of the tech world are going to come to regard Sam Altman as a creep. It just seems like he's got that trajectory already.
I don't have any secret information, just a gut feeling.

I can’t even imagine who is reading these. Like the story is that someone had a budget for a house and bought one?
