we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022.

In the dentist office waiting room. Wildflower by Beach House is playing. Is the cool dream pop of the 2010’s now considered dental office Muzak? They should be playing Bruce Hornsby
This has got to be the move. You've got to start calling it out, explicitly, every time it happens. Make them embarrassed to do it.

Weird that Apple is leading with AI stuff with this event when AI seems to be at peak unpopularity It’s been a long time since anything truly wow inducing has been announced at one of these things
every single day elon musk says or endorses stuff on x dot com that is worse than any of the quotes they've pulled up for hasan piker and he will be the single biggest political donor in the entire country, supporting republicans up and down the ballot somehow none of them are asked about it
Not even the anodyne “controversial” thrown in there for good measure. When you are a megadonor the rules for podcasters obviously don’t apply.

Meant to post this two days ago, but it has been a year (and two days) since JD Vance said after a mass shooting that it's outrageous anyone thinks calls for prayer are a way to deflect responsibility for taking action against gun violence. Maybe action will come next year.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.
Hook and Squeeze
How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL TOPIC: How many FBS football teams have you seen play in-person over the course of your life? By my count right now I am at 57. Should be 58, but as we were trying to go to USC-Purdue last year a weather delay hit right before kickoff and we eventually gave up and went home.
the arguments for capitalism, that competition breeds innovation and the best prices for consumers, are at complete odds with what we are seeing — companies that dont make anything valued at trillions, the monopolization of industry which leads to higher prices and shitty products
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.
interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”
NEW: In a stunning admission, the Trump administration admitted in court documents that it canceled billions in energy grants to states "based solely" on politics -- and whether that state was represented by Democrats and backed Harris in 2024. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...
