Anyone who applies should just cite Biden executive orders. After all they will just be feeding this into an LLM for review. They likely aren’t smart enough to prompt it to look only for Trump EOs

The sub title of the article should be “Bluesky doesn’t have a bot problem yet. But we think it should!” It ignores the bots that flood other platforms sparking “growth” and fueling toxic algorithmic “engagement”.

It all adds up now - GI Joe was actually a very oblique reference to patriots fighting ICE - all written by someone with knowledge of the economics of the British Raj

Traegers are great smokers but I always recommend BGE if you want an upgrade. At least if you like steaks. Can’t beat a setup that can go at 250 for 20 hours or be cracked up to 850+ for a blue steak. If you don’t like steak then stick with the Traeger - less work.

It’s not his fault - when he went to translate the script sent to him by his handlers, Grok screwed up the Russian to English conversion

I love that the “summary” is longer than the info in the paywall itself - it’s like a bad student trying to write an essay and only having the info for 1/8 of the word count and BSing the rest

The party that had already given up Burke for Robespierre has also given up Smith. I’m not sure if they switched to Rousseau or Marx…or Mao

Not totally marketing vapor - some beautiful marbling on the ribeye I cooked up the other night (turned out delicious but actually too rich for a main). But 100% agree on the chili.

His cabinet, his family, people key to his House/Senate majority are implicated? Or all of the above including himself?
Aspiring Onion Futures Trader (@plasticfishman.bsky.social) reply parent
Ironic too since the family business allows him nowhere near it - they know he is a crank and don’t want him around anymore. Heir douchery seems to be a theme with this admin - maybe it’s a recessive gene

He had a senior moment - he saw a digital clock that said 4:25:50 and confused it for the federal funds target rate. Those extra points (dots) on the colons are too high…

Why do you think that? My gut (and brain) agree with you but I’m no expert. Is it because they haven’t laid off enough competent staff yet and so there would be a leak if they tried to fluff the numbers? Just curious

Another leading indicator might be that this guy’s defense attorney is also Hegseth’s personal attorney (of one of the Signal chats fame)

I’m not an economist but I don’t think there actually would be a trade deficit here. If he paid 24 carrots for that gold spray paint then technically there is no trade deficit since equal values of goods changed hands, right?

I think you can add “in” before “on it” and then we don’t even need the sarcasm

Simple - community bank CEOs get freed from regulation they hate and ignore the fact that the big banks will steal their customers in short order now that they are without insurance. They get a short term win at the expense of their industry - modern corporate governance in practice

Separation anxiety?
Aspiring Onion Futures Trader (@plasticfishman.bsky.social)
Egg prices, schmegg prices - maple syrup inflation is the real worry. We can’t be waffling around about other threats. When it spikes it’s gonna crush the economy like a pancake. We are going to be toast quicker than the French in 1940. It’s gonna break America faster than we can imagine.
