GM CEO Mary Barra is introducing Trump at his rally. Something to keep in mind if you're in the market for a vehicle anytime soon.
fellow millennials, let's take a second to appreciate how great it feels to be in the prime marketing demographic catered to by all of the culture. I get now why boomers wanted it to last forever

Purely anecdotal, but I used to get a cough each winter that would last months - since replacing our gas stove with induction several years ago, my lungs have stayed clear. I'm delighted but not entirely surprised by results of this study. We should not be burning gas in our homes (or anywhere).
Sammy Roth@sammyroth.bsky.social · 2w agoInsane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved. Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.* Details in today's newsletter: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/electric-s...

Some amazing quotes in this article about how Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people. www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai...
After consulting with my attorney I’ve been advised that what I actually want to say about this would be ill-advised so I’ll just say that he couldn’t possibly be clearer about which side of D-Day he’s identifying with
Dan Lamothe@danlamothe.bsky.social · 2mo agoHegseth at Normandy: "Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria. Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not."
The chief of staff for GOP rep/likely senate nominee Mike Collins group chatted with Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes, told them he'd make sure racist gnome Chuck Johnson is treated well in federal prison. Also, today I learned that Johnson and JD Vance were text pals . . . in 2024!
Why Was the Chief of Staff for a Leading Republican Senate Candidate on a Group Chat With Famous White Nationalists? The Answer Somehow Makes It Even Worse.
His boss is running for a Senate seat. He was on a group chat with Nick Fuentes.

Yep. This is the best way to understand the events of the past couple weeks. They have to dispense with the artifice of principle, because the risks of Dems winning and coming to power bent on accountability are simply too great. www.offmessage.net/p/republican...
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.
i feel like the only person alive that doesn't give a flip if a datacenter opens up nearby, probably because i know that datacenter hate is an easy proxy target for disgust at big tech. even AI hate is the same.
A very Strength In Numbers-coded article today: It looks like Republican Supreme Court justices made a very rudimentary, but willful, statistical error in their effective invalidating of the VRA in the Callais decision. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-05-08...
The simple statistical error Republican Supreme Court justices used to gut the VRA
The Court says vote dilution can be proven only after "controlling" racial polarization for partisan polarization. This is a nonsensical and impossible test

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement.

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 4mo agoAgain, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.
We’ve told all the casting agents that the Weird Al biopic sequel is currently on hold, but they just keep sending in headshots.
