Donald Trump has been President of the United States for 5 years...it says a lot about him that it seems surprising that he has basic knowledge of one of the most strategic and volatile parts of the world.
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😂😭🤣☠️
Fascinating! What are the financial rails for custody and transfer?
Tiger Woods shouldn't be allowed to drive
Zeke. The other two are mega famous.
TIL there's a 3rd Emmanuel brother
A little of both. Power corrupts. But corruption can also be a path to achieving power.
This story is so infuriating and fucked up, and it's fucked up that it seems like it was buried.

@patrickwyman.bsky.social I missed the chance to do the last Tides mailbag, so I gotta ask you, the Polynesians had to have made it to S. America, right?
What are the odds they
A) made landfall
B) made landfall and got back to Polynesia?
Is this plurality wins, or is there a runoff?
If you’re thinking about someone in a “I wonder how they’re doing” kind of way, just text them. Doesn’t have to be anything big. Send them a meme or something. I’m trying to make this a reflex for myself, but I think everyone needs to know when their people are thinking of them.
Sounds like it. Children was a slog for me, so I skipped to Wikipedia and regretted nothing
It's not as good as Dune, but it was interesting in its own right, and very different from the first book. I also read Children of Dune, which again was very different.
I passed on God Emperor, which sounds bananas.
I feel bad for him. Not in the sense of accepting any of his behavior, but it seems like he wants to be a better person but is stuck.
I find extreme personalities like his fascinating. He reminds me of Jon Jones in a lot of ways, but in particular, the combination of unhinged conduct with intense relgiosity.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:
The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files
Got a $1720 hospital bill for my kid's nasal hemorrhage. It was a pretty scary amount of blood, but turned out to just be a bad nose bleed. Maybe made worse by how upset she was.
It's fucked up that there's no way of knowing how much it cost upfront.
Go Hoosiers!!
Plants crave electrolytes
I was going to tag @patrickwyman.bsky.social until I saw that it was in my feed *because* he reposted it 😂
The Hyatt Place I'm staying at has translucent bathroom doors, which is the dumbest idea. Impossible to use at night without making the room super bright for other people.
Some people can maintain levels of cognitive dissonance that are incomprehensible to me
Drag to refresh is one of the most irritating UI patterns. Especially when you lose state.
This is actually the perfect time for that conversation
Just FYI, I've heard many people with large profiles say that it is actually not helpful to be advised to just ignore the hate, because it's simply not possible to ignore it.
It seems to me that Mamdani has a Trumpian instinct for gaining attention. But substituting thoughtfulness, empathy, and hope for Trump's narcissism, sociopathy, and spite.
The Kombucha Girl meme captioned with "The warmth of collectivism" on both sides. On the left, the woman looks repulsed, and on the right, the same woman looks intrigued.
This me the moment he said the line and then after the perspective gained from 15 seconds of additional thought
Do you have any recommended reading on this?
