Proof of how the press is completely failing on SpaceX. SpaceX's post IPO stock has lost nearly as value (as a %) as the legendarily bad IPO of Pets.com and yet no press outlet is treating it as such. This is a massive insider trading fraud between Musk, SV investors and banks.

Conservatives like higher crime and dead kids and pursue policies to try to engineer these outcomes

Firearm membership associations and other plaintiffs convinced a Texas federal court to halt enforcement of registration and transfer requirements in the National Firearms Act.

At one point in my life I was a 'new game +' sort of person. The concept appeals to me. But then 'today me' says, the likelihood of you ever coming back to this game is so astonishingly small you're more likely to be struck my lightning indoors. Then I delete the game from my hard drive.

Forty years ago, in 1986, NYC suffered over 1,600 homicides. Homicides would peak at over 2,200 a few years later. There were 305 in 2025.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

BREAKING: ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland lawmakers approve ballot measure for voters to clear way for new congressional maps that would boost Democrats.

You mean you got taken by the guy who's entire existence is a scam who has never created anything ever and is only thought of a a genius because a style reporter from the WaPo said so? Weird. I cannot believe this is happening

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2d ago

SpaceX shares are down by half from their June peak as investors worry Musk may have oversold them on its future prospects.

Just as I don't want to read a book by someone who couldn't be bothered to write it, I *definitely* don't want to eat food by someone who doesn't want me to see that food in actual photo form. You're advertising a product that does not and cannot exist in corporeal reality. WTF.

Hey man, maybe just make the sandwiches and take a pic of them.

This is far more grim than I could have imagined. The tendrils of illiteracy reach further than you'd expect, especially among adults.

"All of the speculation and hype around A.I. is hiding the fact that the technology isn’t just large language models or agents or data centers. It is the backbone of a superstructure that merges regressive politics with unchecked economic power in the guise of technological innovation."

I repeat: this IS NOT AN AGREEMENT WITH TRUMP so it doesn't even matter that it's not binding. This is the DOJ saying it's withdrawing its own order establishing the fund. But the settlement still exists, and Trump's motion on Friday makes it clear he intends to enforce it, meaning the fund remains

no agreement with trump is binding, it's impossible that anyone at this point fails to understand that. All that's happening here is spineless toadies folding as anticipated bsky.app/profile/matt...

After a middling WNBA career, blonde haired, blue eyed Sophie Cunningham has positioned herself for post-basketball success and riches as a conservative mouthpiece. This is the pattern that always works because conservatives are very very dumb and will latch onto anyone who promotes hate.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

This is banana republic stuff - we all know that, right?

Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 2d ago

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

If I had a hot take it is that spoilers are good actually. I regularly read summaries of books, movies, shows, etc before I watch them.

Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.

they're absolutely going to try

Coach Finstock@coachfinstock.bsky.social · 2d ago

This is it right here. This is the shit people ignore. Trump is back in office and every single J6er got let out of jail. Why on earth would they NOT try it again. There were absolutely no consequences for doing J6. They won. They're back in power and the thugs are free.

Tough break for the "solar ruins prime farmland" crowd, whose wholly evidence-based case against solar appears to have little merit. I'm sure their mea culpas will be posted shortly and this is the last we'll hear of it

Suw@suw.bsky.social · 3d ago

Crops grown underneath solar panels produce more, require less water and are more resistant to extreme weather, even during a hot, dry summer. We need agrivoltaics to be rolled out asap, for both the electricity and the better growing conditions. microgridmedia.com/solar-panels...
