I saw the Bessent press conference. He talked about isolating Iran, but what he was actually describing was isolating the US. He brings no allies or partners to his sanctions. China is going to laugh at the idea that we would sanction them for their business with Iran. What happens then? 1/

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Your framing of the catering truck incident is slightly off. Trump didn't use people as a decoy to protect himself. He used them as human shields to protect himself. This is just like the ending of The Dead Zone where the guy grabs a baby to protect himself. Just as bad.

Every time I hear about the catering truck incident, all I can think of is The Dead Zone, where the candidate uses a baby as a human shield to protect himself from assassination. He used everyone on that plane, including Rubio, as a shield to protect himself. How is it any different than the movie?

Good riddance, fucker. The shame you have brought to the university is immeasurable. 🖕 www.freep.com/story/sports...

New rule. One should not live their life in such a way that Donald Fucking Trump and Benjamin Fucking Netanyahou go on Meet The Press to eulogize you.

@lawofruby.bsky.social If DOJ is playing around and only releasing images of files, upload the images to Gemini. Have Gemini convert the images to text. Then, as a bonus, Gemini can train itself on those documents.

This is an excellent take on why the EA takeover is such a horrific deal for gamers. Having the Saudis in control is bad enough, but the debt they're dumping on EA is absolutely killer. This is going to be Toys R Us all over again. They'll then sell the company back to the public in six months... 1/

And it's official. You don't need to be an expert in the Theory of Enshittification to see where this one is going. The Saudis now control my beloved Mass Effect. Well, fuck... www.gamesindustry.biz/who-bought-ea

Who bought EA?

Here's what you need to know about PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners

@nicollewallace.bsky.social you asked if the corrupt, lying, cheating Trump is who Trump voters teach their children to be, who they want to be? Yes! The answer is yes! Take any typical evangelical, give them a billionaire daddy, and Trump is who they'll become. They are exactly like him.

Bezos destroyed The Washington Post in the futile hope that it would protect his other businesses from Trump's retribution. So, how's that working out, Jeff? 🖕 This is a perfect case study to display why you never appease fascists. No matter what you give up, it'll never be enough to protect you.

Hey @tigers.bsky.social , dafuq is this shit on your regional sports network? This pic is in the middle of Tork's homer, WHILE THE BALL IS STILL IN THE AIR!!! Do you think you can maybe not shrink the screen to fit more advertisements while the game is being played? This is hella intrusive.

@arimelber.bsky.social OMFG! No one ever cared about the price of eggs. Trump voters only cared about the hate. The price of eggs was just a media friendly cover story. It was always hate. Stop treating this issue like it matters to Trump voters. You're just distracting from the real issues.

Taking a break from doom and gloom to share some humorous news. OSU hired Matt Freaking Patricia as their new DC. ROFL! Patricia is literally the worst football coach I can think of, and I can't imagine a better place for him. 🤣🤣🤣 www.freep.com/story/sports...

This is cute. Our new Transportation Secretary, had this to say: "This is not what I expected on my first day on the job to be, but I do believe that God puts us exactly where we’re supposed to be." So god put all those people on that plane? Is that exactly where they were supposed to be? Nice
