Trump is obsessed with the term "groceries," but does he even know what they are? #DailyShow #Trump YouTube video by The Daily Show

Trump tries to describe groceries.

It's so weird how he gets fixated on a word which, like groceries, everyone in the world understands - except for him - and he then tries to tell everyone about the word like he's letting them in on a secret.

Never would have taken infosec leaders as cowards. Disappointing.

The Dems' one point of leverage to push back against Trump & Elon's government burn down and privatization push (aka billionaire-pocket-loading scheme) is to refuse to help fund the gov. But no, they're caving. No wonder even Dems can't stand Dem party. Schumer has to go. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Newsom has horrible political instincts. Someone needs to tell him having wall to wall nazis as guests doesn’t give you “man of the people, speaks everyone’s language” bonafides.

You’re an egghead!

I had fun talking with the CEO of Big Green Egg Dan Gertsacov.

‘Startup Nation’ Groups Say They’re Meeting Trump Officials to Push for Deregulated ‘Freedom Cities’ The architects of projects like Próspera are drafting legislation to create US cities that would be free from federal regulations.

These tech utopias will end horribly, being massive cash drains and ecological disasters, but I almost am cheering on the dumb tech-bros to get these off the ground so we can all enjoy our schadenfreude www.wired.com/story/startu...

Fuck. This is so embarrassing. Who is that clown asking that question?

Dow drops 700 points for worst day of 2025 so far on new fears about economic growth: Live updates Stocks were lower Friday as investors ended a rocky week on Wall Street.

The media have failed us. There aren’t four GOP moderates in the Senate with any backbone. Judicial time is slow and it’s too soon to say whether the courts will fold.

But in a mixed economy you can’t unleash a buncha clueless culture warriors to gut the public sector without obvious consequences.

Just as Elon intended.

3D TVs. Super hard flop.

Donald Trump’s Kennedy Center presents:

Shocker (not shocker): looks like we will have a Compromised FBI director

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems!

Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

Musk has as much legal authority to shut down USAID as I do to shut down Tesla, which is to say: none.

What the fuck are the dems doing about Trump handing the keys to govt to private citizens?

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

This is almost such an obvious point, it feels slightly crazy to point it out, but a politician winning a national election does not mean that the criticisms of that politician were wrong. Nixon and Bush both go reelected and everything their most unsparing critics said about them was right.

Never forget.

I don't know if I can definitively say there ever been a more un-self-aware person than Thiel, but he's definitely the richest most un-self-aware person who constantly wants to put his bad ideas out into the world alive.

‘The Interview’: Ben Stiller Knows How ‘Severance’ Ends The actor-director discusses the long-awaited return of the hit series, the comedies that made him a star and growing up with his famous parents.

Also: This is a really great interview with Ben Stiller. He's as thoughtful as you'd imagine by his string of movies he'd directed over his career.

Sigh. I guess I need to stop using Threads now.

‘Shark Tank’ star Kevin O’Leary says half of Canadians favor Trump’s proposal for Canada to join the US O’Leary’s interest in unifying the US and Canada comes after Trump, 78, has repeatedly suggested in recent weeks that Canada should become “our 51st State.”

I knew O'Leary was a Trump-y bootlicker, but TIL he's a spineless Canadian that ok with trial-ballooning the throwing away of his own country's sovereignty to impress a clown like Trump. #politics

Trump’s Trump As you’ve likely seen, things kind of went off the rails today on Capitol Hill. Speaker Mike Johnson had assembled one of those big spending packages to avoid a government shutdown.

How long will Trump like being Elon's beta?

"Trump is following. He’s trying to pretend otherwise but he’s following. And unlike all of Trump’s other bad hires or hires he gets tired of, he can’t just shitcan Musk like all the rest."
