.@JoelEmbiid is, for now, the most prolific scorer in NBA history.

nerds in the computer lab all look up from their spreadsheets: ... TULSKY, TULSKY, TULSKY

*deafening sound of Tulsky chants echo across continent*

If you hate Pope Leo XIV because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

@avappleyard @Mjoedgaard @NHLFlyers "tops out as good 2C" is basically the franchise motto

Ah yes, the American Dream!

Where u, ur kids, and ur grandkids can all preform the same manual labor forever while some billionaire thumbs tell you how great it all is.

Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

Some sort of a... trans-Pacific partnership to isolate China. Intriguing.

[Mike Bird @Birdyword]

Basically you already got what amounted to a pretty aggressive effort to revive advanced American manufacturing, which didn't have the right political coding, so the guys who are supposedly very preoccupied with reviving American manufacturing are going to detonate it.

Honestly, no one is totally sure, economists never figured anyone would do anything this stupid because no one ever has.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded https://t.co/AU4XjT1mpT

We spent decades building an integrated market to the great benefit of the US, Mexico and Canada and now in a tantrum one person is wrecking it all for less than nothing.

You've never seen a fight for pole like this before... 👻

Video game-style!

Netanyahu should have resigned on October 8th. His political survival is a gift to Israel’s enemies, who exploit his vulnerability to undermine the war and the fight to free our hostages.

Every failed negotiation is blamed on him, weakening Israel at the table. It doesn’t matter what’s true—his presence alone compromises us.

Now, in the middle of a multifront war, he’s fired the Shin Bet chief to dodge responsibility for the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.

October 7th happened on his watch. Instead of sacrificing others, he should take responsibility as the prime minister.

@RJC great work!

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

It frankly seems sub-optimal that this woman is now Deputy Press Secretary at the Pentagon.

what kind of shithole party boos Zelensky and cheers the Tate brothers

And this is why some of us cared so much about Jo getting the MVP he so richly deserved.

It was always going to end like this, we just didn't know when.

But I remember hoping we'd get just 1 healthy season to see what he could do.

"We're going to very publicly make the most visible government services much shittier, and not actually save any money in doing so"

Bold strategy

Americans think about 43% of the world population is wealthier than them.

Wildly wrong. An American who makes the median full-time wage in the US ($61,620), is in the top 5% of global incomes. If they make 10th percentile wage ($18,890) that puts them at the top 24% globally.

A recession.

What they want is a recession, they just won’t use those words. But it’s coming.

[Kathy Jones @KathyJones]

Treasury Sec Bessent reiterated his belief that inflation will come down due to deregulation, cuts by DOGE and falling energy prices. Hence long term yields should fall allowing treasury to term out debt- but it’s “a long way off”.

Eagles linebacker Zack Baun has been wearing a medallion belonging to the late Bill Bergey this postseason.

He explained the story behind it today.
