This man is a fucking billionaire and I used to think he was actually good. But there truly aren’t any good billionaires. What a total piece of shit who clearly doesn’t give a fuck about his fans or anyone but his bank account
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 6d agoFrom @theathletic.com: LeBron James will make nearly four times as much promoting the Polymarket prediction market as he will from playing basketball. The deal may not break NBA rules, but it raises uncomfortable questions.
I don’t understand who this man thinks he appeals to. We don’t need more ethics rules we need the existing ones to be enforced like by impeaching the corrupt potus
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 6d agoFormer White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel calls on Democratic lawmakers to set aside plans to impeach President Trump if they win a majority in the House, pushing them instead to pass an ethics reform package.
this is a well-reported piece with an awful lot written between the lines, and one of the things that jumps out at me is just how ill-informed these people are. the trucker, his partner, his mother — they can’t even agree *amongst themselves* on a shared understanding of events
Mr. Dan Zak@mrdanzak.com · 7d agoA Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 325-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

@josie.zone now you’re in Apple News Top stories! While trending stories has some algorithmic link to what I read these are selected by Apple News editors (and a lot eventually make it to the Apple News+ narrated podcast)
You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

Idc what my district wants - did someone tell you we live in a representational democracy and we’re supposed to represent our constituents? lol nah
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoRAJU: Only 33% of Americans approve of how Trump is handling his job. Is he a drag in your district? VAN ORDEN: I am fully supportive of President Trump. And if that's not popular, that's just the way it is

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I just read Rules for Aging and Larceny by Julia London and strongly recommend! It legit had me giggling so much that someone on a plane asked me what I was reading. It's a story about a bunch of old women who were part of a gang decades ago. They fell out and are now reuniting for one last heist

Ms. Rachel: “I will match Macklemore's donation and I invite every wealthy white celebrity to match it and speak out against the genocide in Gaza. Over 20,000 precious Palestinian children have been killed and children continue to be killed every day.”

I’m having my teeth whitened for my nephew’s wedding and I just paid for it and I’m still not 100% sure I believe it will work
many states, including California, also have an option to drop your ballot off directly at a elections office dropbox or election center and avoid USPS on the way back all together, which I'd recommend if possible.
editR@editr.bsky.social · 4w agoIf your state votes by mail, put your ballot in a mailbox AT the post office. Dont send it like regular mail. It's TOO IMPORTANT
This is obviously such cowardly loser behavior but I do wish that if anyone ever tried to make me do a work task I wasn't into, I could just leave for several months while continuing to collect a salary.
