A small group of industry 'leaders' exposing their company and investors money to absurd levels of risk? Luckily, the dot com bubble and 2008 financial crisis have already proven this could never happen.

Platner: No one cares that you pretend to be remorseful as you sell out to lobbyists. Symbolic opposition does not reopen hospitals. Weak condemnations do not bring back Roe V Wade. Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.

I like how he uses the word subtract in the last sentence to make it sound like theres some math or stats behind his conclusion. If you prefer the vibes of being surrounded by crypto bots, porn bots and white nationalists on X, then just say that.

Stage 1: Bluesky is a joke and doesn't exist in any functional way Stage 2: Bluesky is real, but it's irrelevant Stage 3 : Bluesky is bad and you shouldn't read or follow anyone there Stage 4: Bluesky did 9/11

It's difficult to find the time to read the constitution between photoshoots when you're a busy NYT editor.

Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.

A state where even a police chief can be a murderer (who is then allowed to escape by prison guards). I guess the national guard is too busy litter picking in DC to help them out.

The 10th Amendment says that states have broad latitude to set their own laws. Donald Trump says states are just agents of the federal government. For busy textualist, originalist judges, it can be hard to know who to trust.

People say oligarchy, but seems like some form of tech-feudalism with the 'Space-x city' where Musk gets to set his own rules. Then there's the pollution he's dumping into the air where his data centres are. Zuckerberg bought 11 houses and is building some kind of compound as well.
