Change in head line blames unions, not Trump. Good job NYT /s.
If he were dead, they would have hid it, and then fought over publishing 1000+ EOs before anyone found out.
Get chalk bombs and run around just throwing them on the cross walk, takes what, 20 seconds to do a rainbow? Much faster than filling in the whole thing. Bet you could make disposable ones out of the thin paper they use for for bang snap fireworks.
And...
These 'thank your senator for doing (horrible thing) x' are apparently all over PA at the moment. Maybe a new trend? Or I'm just seeing them now.
Doesn't say YMCA or Memory from Cats, I don't believe it.
He could have his staff write up multiple examples of what's going to happen, send those PR notices out to every media outlet, and push it everyday, getting him on TV to say the same thing, until it works.
It's not even Schumer saying to post it, it's some political staffer and their social media person. He has no idea it's even being posted. Let alone doing anything.
sure thing my dude; I’m on it should I also organize the ostensible opposition party into mounting a strong and principled defense against the fascist sociopaths systematically dismantling the federal government like, while I’m up
What would it take for the news to just be 'hey he literally said last week people are asking him to be a dictator, his words, not ours'? and then maybe... 'we've brought in an expert on dictators, they say we're already in one and brought a chart.'
This is the second time her coverage has made me consider quitting both the subscription and podcast. I don't think in good faith I can renew next year.
Goode recieved comments on bsky regarding this piece. In this week's podcast, she called bsky feedback and users asking her to consider her access and closeness to the company she was invited to, toxic. I'm a woman, I was on twitter, I saw the comments here. Just learn to reflect on criticism...
I'm honestly considering giving up the podcast and my Wired subscription because of this piece.
If I ran an experiment site, where it's all bots and sell advertising to the bots. So essentially ad fraud but stated as ad fraud in the terms of agreement- Would there be any legal liability? We live in such a dumb internet, I think it would actually m ake money. I don't know why, but it would.
Making people they think hate them ask is sadistic shit they love while playing dictator. Same as anyone who's said anything bad about them now kissing the ring.
Listening to Schwab's podcast on the lower than forecasted numbers - they're saying it's due to China not buying as many as expected chips, but then really pushing the 'that might be coming back next quarter'. So fear of missing out will probably make people jump back in.
Yep. And probably made up numbers where they can get away with anyone checking. I guess these are physical chips whereas SM and Google can just lie about ads (*Cough Facebook video cough*).
Fun fact: way back in 2001, NVIDIA replaced Enron on the S&P 500. Full circle.
Update: Appeals court overturns 90-years-settled law to make American employees' legal rights to speak up & act together to improve their jobs subject to presidential veto. Huge victory handed to Musk, Bezos, & other bosses. Big loss for labor. SCOTUS likely upholds prospect.org/justice/2025...
But...but that's a glucose monitor? Or possibly a pulseometer. So odd.
Are the implying coke is the main cause of diabetes? Or does the coke have diabetes?
CDC director called Louisiana Senator Cassidy today before she was asked to resign by RFK. Louisiana folks need to be calling Cassidy's office and asking that he demand RFK to resign. Make RFK Jr a problem for Trump and he gets dumped overboard.
On the same day the FDA restricted access to COVID vaccines, the CDC director was sacked and top CDC scientists are resigning. And it’s barely been two weeks since an antivax conspiracy theorist fired 180 bullets at CDC headquarters. None of this is making America healthier. What a disaster.

Ya know what? Let's add AI Chatbots all of these persons and billionaires what's apps. Make them all sound like Steve Jobs and give them herbal/fruit advice. Let's go. Let's see what kind of drugs and psychosis they collectively have.
HAHA, no, it's not. Not by far. "This is an important event: the first time AI-induced psychosis has affected a well-respected and high achieving individual,"
No. If they could, they'd be sentient and this would be called slavery. But no. No they can't. Just like the podcast app on your phone can't suffer.
Over 380 now, gotta be a bot campaign going on.
Or faster? I mean, they've probably still pissed off enough people that numbers will go down quicker just like Target managed to piss off 'both sides' and with the economy quietly tanking, guessing restaurants going to take a huge hit.
They only study for 2 hours a day via "AI" because studying is too "gay". They'll be given a lunch of protein shakes, creatine, and tren. Rest of the day will be playing football, yelling 'this is sparta' and bullying each other over how feminine their 2 hours of interaction with a chatbot is.
I'm more amazed that those scared and masking are wearing them, while the two guys not masked are like 'f it, I'm not wearing a high vis'
Immediate dem circular firing squad instead of, idk, realizing half the divisive shit are bots. You've been had. No one advocating for what you've got a bee in your bonnet for. Angry populism and racism is popular in America, and the voting machines were not and have never been secure.
Here's a news story covering Sean's comments & the subsequent retaliation. Judge for yourself, but to me, this is our LA public transit showing how, bit by bit, institutions let fascism take hold. This is a matter of democracy, not just a job. Please share widely: lapublicpress.org/2025/08/la-m...
Still think if people think he'll go soon, compare pics of his dad towards end of his life to Donald to get a better idea.
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.
Guess I feel okay about that. Just found out a job I was passed up for went to someone who probably 'knows' someone in the org. As it wasn't a remote position, and they are... an island away. This freakin' place...
And *allegedly a whale shark last week.
So at that point, he ends up firing anyone in fed he wants and even those that acquiesce to his demands have a higher than 0% chance of falling out of a window like in Russia?
Is there a list of all the sites the Mississippi lawmakers consider 'social media sites' and must comply?
:: while rolling on pile of gold like Scrooge McDuck :: "Still working on it!"
"Together, these policies shift power, not just skills, in the economy that AI is remaking." :Fist to chest: aaaaaand scene. :Looks up to no one cheers, grimaces:
Ah, I see, if you work or have rent, then you can't have free fun. Got it. Close the museums and parks unless you're idle rich.
My partner had a similar question at his job in a team meeting, and his coworker was like 'it's good to ask it and see what the demonstrably wrong answer is'.
On a completely unrelated note - does anyone know where to find lists/descriptions of canceled NIH grants. Might have a mini project to look up those on heart disease and dementia.
Have you noticed how all the heads of FBI have been republican and the politicizing has only been one sided? In theory they shouldn't be politicized, but the cat's out of the bag and letting one side do it while poo pooing the other which probably wouldn't do it anyways, doesn't work.
Genuinely, yes.
Not being paid.
Silly question but... token burn... costs money. Where is that money going? Is it just made up numbers on a spreadsheet somewhere or is it spent on energy costs?
Why just social media, I wonder.
Does it apply to every website is what I want to know. Put that burden on every site - see the internet just collapse except those sites that have $ to build it in. And people stop wanting to upload their ID to every single website. Might lead to an actual revolt.
Including recipes and puzzles/games. So many people still paying for those that prop up this nonsense.
Do you have a photo of the tab? Because that's the weirdest part for me.
Def same with our management. No matter how many times they ask staff to use it and are shown that it hallucinates or provides info that would break systems.
Being gay is political now? So, the only way to not be political is the be a constantly miserable white conservative?
Relax and have hobbies some times. Like actually enjoy hobbies! I know it's their personality, but it's also seems like it's their hobby, and having a hobby that's just hate and anxiety - that's the stuff the rest of us have therapy for then go enjoy rockclimbing or whatev, not a pasttime.
Thank you for the genuine answer. My partner and I work in IT and the majority of coworkers are against it but we have about 5% very loud about how great it is - so I'm confused where others are seeing it.
"The plan appears to be part of a broader effort to shift the agency’s focus from tracking national security threats to fighting crime." What crime? It says street crime, but are we just going to have a huge slew of police/fbi that don't actually do anything but get paid bank?
What does he mean by 'next turn'? Were there any turns since this AI went NFT blitz level of popular? It's just been an LLM that hallucinates non stop for 3 years in my world.
Not just rape - not just a client - he had a separate enterprise that rivaled Epstein's. He probably is still running it.
No, I haven't been there in years, which is why I was genuinely asking where.
Like what other spaces?
I was gonna say - black is well known to absorb heat so what the hell are they doing?
Why do you think that?
I'm betting they already are.
fuck yes, everybody in the bubble, hahaha weeee get in the bubble yessss it's so fun
Why is he talking about it? Is the push for next quarter earnings already here? I thought 5 was brought out to make enough stock buys for last quarter.
Updates? Since sentencing was today? And only a single other org and customs reported on it? seems like public interest.
I'm assuming everything is a competition to him? if you're not conning/screwing over someone then they might do it to you.
Lol, he doesn't believe in heaven.
I suspect it has more to do with wanting the nobel peace prize.
I want a presidential candidate who promises to construct Union memorials and statues all over the country. And yeah, North and South. Blanket Virginia with statues of Thomas, who actually chose the right side. Hell, put one of Sherman in the middle of Peachtree Park.
In case it wasn't clear - loads of theaters didn't want to or have money to buy them.
It has to be time for some journalistic entity to research into how many theaters that bought the required 48fps projectors to show the Hobbit were put out of business, and how many theaters still have them. (note: if you want a good laugh, check out the films that have used 48fps since then)
Try defining 'a good chunk' in data terms, maybe? See where that gets you.
So up to a year later, because the study only lasted that long. Meaning it could be the same as strep/rheumatic fever causing delayed heart disease by 30+ years?
They're just people that fall for the digital marketing mlms. 'oh, you tried selling the pdfs? well you didn't do it right, so instead pay us more for us to teach you to do it right! still didn't work? well how about this other masterclass on your attitude'
It'll be fall and winter soon enough in the US - so...how about everyone just start wearing balaclavas so ICE and other cosplay klansman can't tell who's who? Just normalize masking to the extreme.
"According to Axios, businesses seen as “good partners” on the White House list include DoorDash, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Uber, AT&T, Cisco, Airlines for America and the Steel Manufacturers Association."
I think you're right, if we have a marketing reckoning. Facebook and other sites just making up viewership numbers for video didn't kill them before - but you know their ads don't work, and will work less as they lose users and replace with bots and ai chats.
You know, I did a browser search and nothing came up. I did a search on Amazon and it came up. Thanks for mentioning it, now I have something to read.
Time to let WV NG know how people feel about this:
Contact the WV NG here to let them know what you think about their occupation: www.wv.ng.mil/About-Us/Con...
I also scrolled the replies looking for Lee. I was just doing a search yesterday to see if there was any biography on Lee, because I would read the hell out of that.
This country is being destroyed by rich white men who refuse to admit they are wrong.
It’s gone completely under the radar but Trump is set to start kicking out Ukrainians who came here legally under Biden as part of a program for people fleeing the war.
They built a local little league pitch with a restaurant and bar where I'm at. A bar. Also there's a great episode of Economics of Everyday things on Little League, about the for profit travel leagues. Some messed up stuff and ruining the sport for everyone. freakonomics.com/podcast/litt...
Hoagie assault guy, if convicted, will be punished more strongly than J6 folks who beat police officers with poles and other objects and are now walking free (and probably joining CBP)
We desperately need a hero to write a short folk chant that we can sing at these cowards in masks. That's all it needs to say - cowards in masks, make it a catchy limerick. Sing it loud and proud at them - I'm sure being called cowards will hit home.
So now just normal Police are wearing masks too? Not just ICE? This is getting Gestapo quickly.
Wish people would stop saying Trump is on the Epstein client list. Dude had a competing child sex trafficking ring. They traded children. He wasn't /just/ a client. He was (and most likely is) far worse than those that were /just/ clients. Of course he's still trafficking children.
And then they replied 'answer the question.' and didn't move on until she did? No?

It's like the park sweep the cops did after someone shot that CEO in December in NYC. Hilarious, insane, and idiotic.
Will didgeridoo or Mongolian throat singing also work?
Only if we all get to also wear truck nuts and scream 'no, I'm big balls!'
I don't get it - the CEOs will not want this extra work and subservience. They have the money and power, they could pool together and find a way to get rid of him.
