this is what you say when you're trying to spin a dogshit investment to shareholders.

"We quickly learned that sometimes some of [our] assumptions didn’t work out, but the underlying learnings from the technology turned out to be very useful.” —Ravi Radhakrishnan, the executive vice president and chief information officer of American Express, at the TIME100 AI Leadership Forum

Bari Weiss and her wife are in the Epstein files. Weiss’s wife was VERY close to Epstein, so much so that she shared with Epstein her first encounter with. See her wife’s enthusiasm to meet Epstein here. In 2018. When everyone already knew he was a pedophile.

nyt can you please have some decency about a decorated war veteran combat surgeon who saved tammy duckworth's life, who treated 9/11 first responders and was in gaza during the genocide. i get that he's muslim and antizionist but this is a shameful and racist subheader!

@JoshRosner working on a piece on pe backed life insurance sector for @MorePerfectUS. are you available to connect?

[Sean Morrow @snmrrw]

you can say "this could be where cancer is cured" about any fucking building

[Matt Stoller @matthewstoller]

The monopoly round-up is out. I wrote up two events last week that will shake up the stock market, which are the very scammy SpaceX IPO and the repricing of AI tools. The bill for data centers is coming due, and corporate America has to pay for it.

Taking on the big issues

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

It shouldn’t take ten different streaming subscriptions and a second mortgage to watch our Packers play. Enough is enough. We need to pass my bill to stop this madness.

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

Today, New York’s governer, attorney general, police commissioner, and senior senator marched alongside an ICC-wanted war criminal in a parade celebrating an apartheid ethnostate that stands accused (by every major human rights org in the world) of genocide and ethnic cleansing.

I’m fairly neutral on Gate as a business person / philanthropist.

He’s also all over the Epstein files. His wife seems to have divorced him over it. Make of it what you will.

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

💯 Bill Gates founded a company that has created 12,000 millionaires, employs 230,000, created $3 trillion in value, and provide software we use and others supplemented. He's also one of the most effective philanthropists in history. He has undoubtedly made the world better.

Oh hey look it’s exactly what I said back in December 2025

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

I’ve been banned from the UK. I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!

[Henry Burke @burkehenryt]

The Chamber of Progress —the Big Tech trade group that is trying to take over the Dem Party— has a lengthy report out that complains about progressives being mean to big tech revolvers. Their chosen example? Keeping a Palantir government affairs hack out of the Biden campaign

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

This will ruin your day, perhaps your summer, or even the rest of your life.

But you need to listen to it. You need to know the crimes that are done in your name and with your tax money.

A British surgeon in Gaza testifies that Israeli soldiers used Palestinian children as target practice. One day, they would shoot the children in the testicles, and on other days, in their necks.

They were practicing their shooting on children.

[Eric @ericgardner0]

Truly one of my favorite clips ever.

A human having a real reaction to the immense accomplishment and perspective of outer space.

And the billionaire funding it is fundamentally incapable of understanding.

[Todd Spence @Todd_Spence]

That time William Shatner was emotional explaining how it felt to take his first flight into outer space and Jeff Bezos cut him off to spray champagne. Like a scene straight out of The Office

[Acyn @Acyn]

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

If at any time you hesitate to utter the word genocide or remain silent in the face of blatant lies, remember to ask yourself: who is this for?

[Eric @ericgardner0]

No joke, I spent the last week or two fearing @LastWeekTonight would run something similar.

That’s not meant as a slight, they do great work.

[Eric @ericgardner0]

fun one to work on.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: Elon Musk wants a SpaceX IPO valuing the company at upwards of $1.75 trillion.

To get there he got the rules changed so that index funds, with millions of Americans' retirement savings, are forced to buy in.

Retirees could take huge losses, while insiders cash out.

[Eric @ericgardner0]

@ekierklo It very well could be.

It’s sort of surreal. The business press is all but calling it a farce, but then the mainstream is pretending that this is something serious and ambitious.

[Eric @ericgardner0]

@comatosendeath @MorePerfectUS you're not an idiot. that's what he engineered.
