Hey @YouTube I would pay an extra $10/month on top of YouTube Premium to disable shorts.
I don't want to see another short ever again. Please let me toggle them off.
Volvo posted a 3 min and 46 second ad on Instagram, shot by Hoyte Van Hoytema, the cinematographer of Interstellar and Oppenheimer.
It goes against every single rule you can think about as a social lead. Length. Format. Over-produced.
Every comment under the ad said it immediately put Volvo in their consideration set. It's fucking fantastic.
Venezuela Election update
In an already fraudulent election where the clear opposition choice @MariaCorinaYA was barred from running.
Now the Maduro Regime is outright stealing the election. They lost by a massive margin. The military has come out threatening the population and saying that Maduro opposing US sanctions won a great victory.
Third party Exit polls, some paid by US, show a 30+% margin. This is being validated by quick count of actual ballots. But the transmission of data to the Electoral Council has been halted. VERY SERIOUS.
SOCIALIST LEFTISTS STEALING AN ELECTION!
🚨 Watch the real time assassination attempt on Trump from different angles. With countdown from footage of people warning authorities about the shooter to Trump being whisked away.
Beginners Guide to Fixing the Secret Service:
-Mandatory monthly requalifications for both pistol and long gun courses in addition to mandatory monthly physical fitness testing.
-All qualification metrics should be the same for male and female agents. USSS protectee’s heights and weights don’t change for male versus female agents, so neither should the standards.
-Security assets should be allocated based on threat levels, not titles. Assassins don’t care about titles, they care about death.
-Merge the agent and Uniformed Division Special Operations teams. Agents can’t currently act as dog handlers or Counter-Sniper Officers. And UD officers cannot serve on the Counter Assault Team. This is a meaningless obstacle.
-Turn over the investigation functions of the Secret Service to other federal agencies and have the Field Offices focus exclusively on threat mitigation, training, protective intelligence and physical protection.
-Scrap all cancerous DEI initiatives and salary enhancements for supervisors. Merit should be the ONLY guiding principle when it involves the lives of the country’s critical political figures.
Hopefully after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.
Donald J Trump is alive today solely due to a bad wind estimate by an evil would be assasin.
As the graphics show the full value wind of just 5mph was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55 grain bullet two inches from DJT's intended forehead to his ear.
DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).
The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no "first shot" policy. The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.
In my old business of providing Diplomatic Security in two active war zones we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired. Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks. It looked like they had never drilled together because those responses should be effectively autonomic. Will there be accountability? That's not the Washington way.
Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day. Sadly nothing in Washington reflects that any longer. DJT is right to question the competence of those protecting him because yesterday they failed in almost every way. Nature abhors a vacuum and there are always other options.
Most importantly, as Americans let's come together and run a proper valid election so we can get back to what matters a merit based society that judges on character and skill. Nothing else.

Republican Scott Jennings calls out CNN's extreme rhetoric live on air.
"If he wins an election, that our country will end our democracy will end, it's the last election we'll ever have. These things have consequences."
Wolf Blitzer blames Trump.
42 SECONDS
.@SpeakerJohnson@elonmusk
The "counter snipers" didn't take the shot at the shooter sniper
They were looking at him at least 42 seconds before the ear shot on Donald Trump and failed the President
Did The CIA do an inside job with Thomas Matthew Crooks w/ the AR-15
@TomHedrup Dessa 155 individer tillhör troligen ett fåtal gäng/organisationer. Är inte heller osannolikt att gängen tipsat varandra om appen.
Juste denna data ensamt går inte att extrapolera till att Sverige har större problem med gängkriminalitet än andra länder
800 personer gripna i ett av de största tillslaget någonsin mot kriminella över hela världen. 155 av dessa personer från Sverige. Alltså 20 procent från lilla Sverige. Hur är det möjligt?
