Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2w agoCan you imagine being 80 and having the equivalent of a manic 14-year-old ex-girlfriend chasing you around like she’s about to kill your dog and being like “I like this whole thing, this is a good situation for me”? Anyway that’s the deal with the current President of the United States.

This is pretty straightforward, and it's weird to me that people are against it.

Mark Zandi@markzandi.bsky.social · last mo.The economy is soft and vulnerable. This is the clear message in today’s GDP, income, and spending data. Abstracting from the vagaries of the data, real GDP growth is at best 2%, driven largely by AI-related investment and wealth effects that support consumer spending among the well-to-do.
Why is @abcnewsbot.bsky.social spreading Russian propaganda from a war zone where Russia is illegally occupying sovereign land? Summer Camps? Zaporezhzhia is the front lines you morons? Summer camps...for the God Damned Russian Army. Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit.

Thanks to the destruction of media consolidation limits, Republicans will soon enjoy propaganda and market domination over what's left of local U.S. news.

The movement from the left should be entirely expected, seeing as this nation, it's media, it's billionaire donor class & political elite have been pushing the nation further & further to the right, for my entire life. James Kirchick can EABOD if he doesn't grok that we've gone WAY too far right.

Letting Republicans lie seems to be an accepted fact of journalism these days. I suspect it's because no Republicans will talk to them unless they do.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe New York Times quotes MAGA Rep. Brian Mast as saying Iran has been “attacking everybody’s ships” in the Strait of Hormuz “for decades.” This is patently false, but NYT doesn’t dispute it. NYT seems to think fairness means letting Republicans lie in its stories.

He should go to prison for trying to defraud the United States out of 10 Billion Dollars. And when that effort collapsed, shifted to a 1.8 Billion dollar slush fund he could control PLUS forever immunity for him, his family and their business. This was a criminal conspiracy to defraud the USA!

As the plaintiffs filed this suit on behalf of themselves (DJT, JR, Eric and Trump Org) does this pre-empt the application of the "Official Duties" clause in the Immunity decision? I believe Judge Williams made that case & alluded to conspiracy in her order. Impeach, Investigate, Charge & Convict!

The U.S. and Russia have lost four wars over the past 60 years, despite their nuclear arsenals. What do nuclear weapons buy besides the important function of strategic deterrence? Nothing. Maybe we need to rediscover this truth. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Alfred Nobel established the Nobel Prize after wake up call: newspapers mistakenly published his obituary when his brother died & what he read as his legacy horrified him speaking ill (factually) of the dead is literally the most effective way to curb living racist & Nazi public figures/politicians
![There is a well-known story about the origin of the Nobel Prize, although historians have been unable to verify it, and some dismiss the story as a myth.[26] In 1888, the death of his brother Ludvig supposedly caused several newspapers to publish obituaries of Alfred in error. One French newspaper[which?] condemned him for his invention of military explosives—in many versions of the story, dynamite is quoted, although this was mainly used for civilian applications—and this is said to have brought about his decision to leave a better legacy after his death.[6] The obituary supposedly stated, Le marchand de la mort est mort ("The merchant of death is dead"),[6] and according to the myth went on to say, "Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became rich by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday."[27] Nobel read the obituary and was appalled at the idea that he would be remembered in this way. His decision to posthumously donate the majority of his wealth to found the Nobel Prize has been credited to him wanting to leave behind a better legacy.[28][6] However, it has been questioned whether or not the obituary in question actually existed.[28] An actual obituary (pictured) stated "A man who can only with the utmost difficulty be considered a benefactor of mankind has died yesterday at Cannes. It is Mr. Nobel, inventor of dynamite. Mr. Nobel was Swedish." It was published on the first page of the Figaro on the 15th of April 1888 and retracted the next day.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:26hkfmtr7jrchexamh7hk6rz/bafkreiamxbpof2omcdylzhjqx5jvddya4qtd2rranqhfr3hqz7m5v7croe)
