Our system is so broken, when Sandy Hook families still haven’t seen a dime from the day they sued Alex Jones 8 yrs ago, & the first bit they’ll get is from Onion merch $.

"Some Trump officials privately acknowledged to CNN that the president’s public commentary has been detrimental to talks, noting the sensitivity of the negotiations and the Iranians’ deep mistrust of the US."
Much Art.
Mucho Deal.

Rickenbacker made this for Geddy Lee and goddamn is all I have to say.
I have been buying Macs for 30 years and the M4 Air I have is the best tho g I’ve ever bought from Apple. Just rock solid and fast as hell. Makes my work HP feel like junk.
A rather menacing tweet from Russia's Permanent Representative to International Organizations in Vienna.
I see in some of the Apple leadership coverage laments the company did not innovate or generate hits under Cook the way it did in the Jobs years and all I can think about is the radical success of Apple Silicon and how transformative that tech is.
One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.
The graves of multiple children have been defaced.
One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.
Senate Democrats want to know more about Fed chair Warsh's plan to divest millions in assets, many of which are currently undisclosed, if he becomes central bank leader, and who or what might take them off his hands.

Everything physicists know about neutrinos, they’ve learned through experiments that didn’t quite add up. “The whole field is built on a backbone of anomalies,” said physicist Mark Ross-Lonergan. www.quantamagazine.org/experiments-...
Is the word "plutocrat" perjorative or simply descriptive?
All of the Founders' worst fears about how American democracy could go off the rails - lack of separation between church and state, a populist demagogue assuming dictatorial powers - are happening just in time for the 250th birthday
I know historians aren’t supposed to predict the future, but sometimes the patterns are really clear.
1. Kevin Warsh has not disclosed key sources of his wealth and income and has not provided key details about his planned divestitures. 2. Mr. Warsh made his fortune at the expense of workers and families. 3. Mr. Warsh’s wealth appears intricately tied to billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller whose investing strategy is driven, in part, by his predictions regarding Fed monetary policy. 4. Mr. Warsh’s name appears in the Epstein files, and his financial disclosures raise additional unanswered questions regarding potential links to Mr. Epstein.
Ahead of Kevin Warsh's confirmation hearing, Senate Democrats weigh in: "Without transparent information on his holdings and divestures, there is no way for the public to have confidence that Mr. Warsh is making decisions based on what is in the best interest of our economy..."
Goldman Sachs: "We estimate that the core PCE price index rose 0.27% in March, corresponding to a year-over-year rate of 3.15%...We estimate that headline PCE rose 0.64% in March, which would raise the year-over-year rate to 3.45%."
I'm interested to know who is funding Patel's litigation. It's not cheap to do this sort of thing and he's on a government salary.
Brian Stelter talks about Kash Patel’s $250M lawsuit against The Atlantic: “[Patel] is performing what Patel knows his boss, president Trump, wants to see: a very aggressive response to these charges in The Atlantic”

The Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World War II lasting 6 years and 1 day, the Korean War lasting 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days, and Iraq lasting 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days, they like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the Military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I’m not going to let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been. I read the Fake News saying that I am under “pressure” to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn’t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran. We’re in it, and it will be done RIGHT, and we won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, who for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I’m the one doing it, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration. This is being perfectly executed, on the scale of Venezuela, just a bigger, more complex operation. The result will be the same. In my First Term, I built the Greatest Military our Country has ever seen, including adding Space Force. In my Second Term, I am properly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others of far less understanding or competence. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump refers to Democrats as "TRAITORS ALL" as he once again claim he's got all the time to make a deal with Iran to end the war he started, while at the same time claiming an end to the war looms.
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Joe diGenova was sued after he said publicly that a former Trump administration official who didn’t back the election lies “should be drawn and quartered. Taken out at dawn and shot."
The official sued him and deGenova was forced to apologize.

The government agency that operates the immigration militia associated with so much violence is still posting religous content that shatters the barrier between church and state.
Kash Patel's lawsuit against The Atlantic has been filed.
All else aside, it confirms this: Kash Patel was locked out of the FBI system on Friday, April 10.
The lockout set off a flurry of inquires to the FBI/DOJ/WH about whether Patel had been fired.

I’m not sure having so much news content blasted at every one 24/7 via phone alerts works for everyone. I’m not sure it’s even good for me and I’m in the game.
Really promising
