I like "based on what you know about" which is likely limited to what they learned in the previous sentence.

Hollywood jobs belong in LA. Here’s how to help bring them back:

Fight Club, Casino, Scarface, Goodfellas, American Psycho.

She's the niche legal world Bari Weiss.

Trump has twice pilfered allocations for barracks and base improvements to divert to border security during first and second admins.

We're not solving any of that without accountability for the crime and corruption, and a massive reform agenda.

Absolute clusterfuk occasionally interrupted by rake stepping.

Wh...why is there a 10 hour version of this?

The timing here is top tier. I am still laughing.

SORKIN: There's a whole number of very large companies, including Apple and Amazon, that have not sought reimbursements yet for the tariffs. From what I understand, part of the reason is they're worried about offending you.


TRUMP: I think it's brilliant. They got to know me very well. I'm honored.

So, is the entire cabinet either coked up or horny?

I had to go check. Guy has access to the greatest intelligence gathering operations on the planet and he's getting intel from randos on his privately owned social media site. I'm going back to bed.

Reminder that analysts thought there was a deal to be struck with North Korea in 2017-2018, not to denuclearize (they won't), but to count/verify nukes, stabilize situation. Trump didn't order any diplomatic work for that and instead did a photo op with Kim.

His diplomacy and his deals are fake.

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

Manly men and all their patriarchal strength and resolve crying like toddlers at the sight of a needle.

Exactly. The self-regarding chest puffery about how it's a proud tradition of celebrating the First Amendment makes it all so much more cloying and offensive.

"Anyway..."

3D televisions are the future of home entertainment, man.

The politics duo on PBS were all agog at how Democratic voters seem to have switched on gerrymandering like it's some mystery beyond the capacity of human understanding.

Their sense of grievance about it as they whine that it's unfair for Democrats to do the thing they were doing is pretty delicious.

The First Amendment. It's what's for dinner.

It's a dominance display. He may as well just piss on them.

Joe Biden threw unprecedented amounts of money at police. More than TWICE what Obama gave them in the wake of the GFC.

Every major police union endorsed Donald Trump.

Twitch.

And yeah, it's the parasocial thing to a weird extreme. Don't hangout with actual friends but listen to some fast talking mostly ignorant carney barker blather on for hours and pretend they're your friend.

I don't get the appeal. If I'm giving something my time I expect some level of production and planning. Just spitballing for an hour sounds awful.

He's been getting his coms guy, political hack on quite a bit lately. I suspect it well only escalate into the midterms and on to '28.

No coincidence that the same guys that wear this crap also wring their hands about falling fertility rates.

I'm introverted as all get out and joked at the time that as a latchkey, gen x kid who grew up playing pong with a controller in each hand, I was built for quarantine, and even I am shaking my head Danny DeVito style.

Now I'm recalling all the time spent describing hiding needlers in waistbands and under cassocks.
