Yes? Mr President? Everyone is starting to say how cool and sexy socialism is and I am but a humble (indicted for fraud) conservative in a very tight race for my seat, could you please come call me dumb and ugly? Thank you so much, looking forward to working closely with you in the future.

It’s not exactly surprising that Trump’s thinking is so transparently shallow—after all, he’s scouted half his Cabinet members from television shows—but his humiliating outburst highlights how little control the 80-year-old president has over what he says in public. trib.al/uGFsDYj

"I wouldn't wish it on anyone" except the millions of people you explicitly, repeatedly wished it on.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.

Woah, look at them, rejecting the framing of a statement. So brave. They should try also doing that when they're not completely wrong, and about something that matters! I can think of a few examples for them just off the top of my head.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 2w ago

Tur: It’s not just the media, and I reject that framing. 6 in 10 Americans don’t know who he is. I’m not saying he’s the most important person in the world, but...is it worth losing votes you need to win? AES: 10 in 10 Americans agree that they can’t afford the things that they need in their lives.

The wrong 80-year-olds keep dying. RIP Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. The Grim Reaper is on thin ice. If he messes up one more time I think we gotta let him go.

A Chinese humanoid robot outran Usain Bolt’s 100-meter sprint world record on the opening day of the World Humanoid Robot Games in Beijing, posting a time of 9.39 seconds — 0.19 faster than Bolt’s pace in 2009.

I know One Weird Trick that would save these guys $14 million and make everyone like them a lot more: Give me $1 million and simply shut the fuck up.

Jamison Foser@jamisonfoser.bsky.social · last mo.

the group in question says it's going to spend $15 million over the next two years against the entire "Democratic Socialists of America movement" -- less than half as much as a single PAC spent to lose a single primary just this week they don't have the juice with anyone but the New York Times

Education, not annihilation. Health care, not warfare. We must stop funneling money to this corrupt administration as they risk more innocent lives. Slash the Pentagon now.

God had to grant me this gift himself, and it's only gonna cost you $99? What is there to think about? Buy now!

Colorado GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx says God has given him a "gift" to uncover people's demons and rid them of evil spirits through a specialized prayer. Marx says you, too, can learn how to do it. The eight-part course is $99. www.9news.com/article/news...

Q: You've been bombing Iran for months. Is this just the new normal? Trump: We were in Vietnam for 19 years.

Zuckerberg's whole thing for the past decade has been to be a couple years too late on the latest dystopian tech bubble. I have a hard time believing any of these tech giants will ever go truly belly-up, but if any of them ever do, it will be Meta.

The thing about this is that this is not "a broken clock is right twice a day" or "worst guy you know is right about something". He is very clearly implying that it isn't the killing that is wrong. It's having the audacity to think you can get away with it if the US doesn't want you to.

Imagine paying $100,000 to go to an institute of higher learning, and at the end of four years of hard work, the school can't even be bothered to have a human being read your name off a list. But at least you got a picture!

Interesting long read from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com making the case that declining birth rates are particularly tied up with the rise of smartphones and therefore fewer people in relationships, which in turn leads to fewer kids www.ft.com/content/fba3...

Justice Alito complaining about the Court granting a stay without any reasoning is, shall we say, rich? He's been in the majority in scores of such cases, many involving elections.

this is extremely funny because "too right wing" is the top answer and "too left wing" is the very bottom answer, like the exact thing that every single person said would happen.

The SCOTUS approach to gerrymandering is that institutional racism simply is not real, and therefore any map challenged on grounds of racism cannot be blocked, but any map intended to address racism must be. Then they cover their ears and shut their eyes and pretend not to understand the result.
