Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

Microsoft: $101 BILLION in profits. $12.5 BILLION in tax breaks. $176 BILLION in stock buybacks. 4,800 workers fired this week. 9,000 workers fired last year. Please don't tell me trickle-down economics works. It never did. Nothing trickles down.
Kepler spent years defending circular orbits, then changed course when evidence pointed to ellipses. Fauci’s evolving view on COVID’s origin reflects the same scientific duty: update conclusions as evidence changes. That isn’t lying, it’s science correcting itself. This is how science works!
Hey siri, show me the hideous cousin of the Cybertruck.
Radio pirates are hijacking Russian military frequencies to blast the trollface meme and troll audio straight into troop comms, turning internet humor into real electronic warfare.

Aaron Rodgers is a washed-up POS, but the clown hosting him is an even bigger POS. What I wouldn’t give for McAfee to go away forever.

Kudos to Tom Holland for having the humility and respect for the Spider-Man character to keep the mask on/do voiceover work in #BrandNewDay instead of what so many other actors do when playing masked superheroes.
Spider-Man was perfect. Don’t at me. Don’t fight me. If you don’t like, be wrong to yourself
Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
Wealthy bro dudes like Shopify CEO benefit way more from public infrastructure than we do. Their delivery trucks, trains, and planes use our public roads, waterways/ports, and airports. To make them bank. But we should get no vote compared to them? Nah bro, you should get no vote for freeloading.

You should do all you can to avoid this both for the security of your finances and the ultimate disposition of your immortal soul.

Call me crazy, but maybe two men who fathered 19 children with 7 different women shouldn’t be lecturing us about family values.
