The first company that issues refunds to customers will profit wildly from the resulting goodwill, but the super-short-term focus on PROFITS NOW by Wall Street might just prevent that experiment from ever happening.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund check. Amazon got $600 million.: Walmart got $10 Billion. So basically they got to raise all the prices then cash in?

This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.

I’m more and more in the camp that we just cannot handle video clips as a species.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

This is Teddy, with a double rainbow behind him, not long after he told me "THIS RIDE IS OVER" when it began gently drizzling on him. He got worked hard in the rain on the ground, and then the weather cleared, and so I tacked him up again and rode again. He was a good boy but JEEZ.

Remembering how the "Ebola Crisis" was literally *the* most covered news story - consistently framed as though it was a huge embarrassment to Obama - before the 2014 midterms (after which the media totally abandoned the story)

The Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed more than 1,500 people in just over two months, and it is spreading much faster than previous outbreaks, the nation’s health ministry reported on Thursday.

your apartment, the sport of basketball, and the Republic of Korea are all social constructs. mere recognition of this fact does not actually make the question of whether you are standing in your own apartment, playing basketball, or a Korean national up in the air until settled by op ed editors

Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.

Spam ruined email, it’s ruining texting, and now it’s ruining the web. I hate having to wade through 20% to 50% clearly bs “AI” search results. Quite remarkable that we’ve let this happen again.

It'll soon just all be classified as spam, as it should've been. It's almost impossible to use any asset store right now as it's a minefield, every other thing has been generated and is unsafe to use in products. It's insane.

Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.

Found this on Tumblr with the caption, "Saw a fire, stopped his car, got out and Madonna'd the fuck out of those flames". I want him carnally.

And yet, I see one of these roving trash cans almost every day.

Well, where is he? If he's dead, we should know this.

NEW: Daniel Siad, the primary modeling scout and recruiter for Jeffrey Epstein, has been discovered dead in his home in Paris. Siad, himself, was also accused of raping young women. I’m gathering the latest and will report on my YouTube channel, Katie Phang News.

Teddy went on a trail ride with four other horses from our barn — and no one died! He was really great — no spooking or balking. He was chill on a loose rein the whole ride. GO TEDDY!

I took a hard look at the financial donors to ICE’s biggest supporters in Congress. These are people who want to significantly expand ICE’s power and have sponsored or co-sponsored legislation to do so. Here are the top 25 consumer brands bankrolling the biggest ICE supporters in Congress:

The Democratic presidential debates need to have spring loaded traps underneath each candidate and any time one of them says "we need to move on" or "I'm focused on the future, not the past" they should be immediately launched through the roof of the auditorium.

This video of a woman telling an anti-abortion asshole to, "Shut the fuck up" is exactly what I needed to see on a Monday morning

Does this bitch think that people with allergies enjoy playing Russian Roulette just to eat out? My reaction to gluten won't kill me, but it'll ruin a vacation, and that's part of why I don't travel much and mostly eat at home. SIGH

Today, 7/20, is the deadline for Acting AG Todd Blanche to respond to my latest filing demanding: *specific documents from the Epstein Files be produced in the judge's chambers AND *for Blanche to pay a $1000 fine/day until he complies with the rest of the preliminary injunction entered in my favor

I don’t l live in NYC, and I don’t play soccer, but this is fucking great.

This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City.

This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.

First pic: I tuned six pairs of skis. I’d already done the edges, so I just waxed today. I have another two pairs to tune, plus some snowboards. Second pic: Seven pairs of skis that I tuned this spring (or earlier). Cleaning and oiling tack is much easier, mostly.

to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber
