Spike!

It turn out she has a name, which is weird.

Thank you, Connie Ballmer.

People look at the "Handmaid's Tale" naming conventions for the women and think it looks odd - "Ofglen, Offred" - but until the 1970s you were known as "Mrs. Husband's-First-and-Last-Name" and in 2026 have headlines like this

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

The BBC has examined trade volume data on several financial markets and matched them to some of the president's most significant market-moving statements. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Win or lose, there remains a real measure of promise and decency in America that is worth the fight. And win or lose, there is no dignity for any of us unwilling to have that fight.

Sigh.
More of this, please.

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

This is crazy. Just open-air larceny.

Reporter: If you don’t have a deal by Wednesday, will you extend the ceasefire or restart attacks? Trump: Maybe I won’t extend it… and we’ll have to start dropping bombs again.

Peace when markets are open

War when markets are closed

JD telling the Pope to be careful when talking about theology is the ultimate example of overconfidence in mediocre white men.

Mansplaining Catholicism to the Pope.

Oh, Andrea. Wow.

Is he trying to art of the deal the pope into blessing killing people…?

If you had told me in 2019 that in 2026, after a global pandemic, President Trump would be in an online flame war w/ the Pope, Mark Carney would be PM of Canada w/ a majority, and Justin Trudeau wld be at Coachella with his girlfriend, Katy Perry, I wouldn’t have believed you. Kudos to the writers!

PM emphasising humility, promising to work with other parties.

You want to know marathon negotiations? Try to get a teen to clean their room.
This was barely a conversation.

Mad-king manifesto era.

We’ve gone from “I don’t care if they reopen the Strait” to “we’ll destroy your civilization if you don’t reopen the strait” to “well if THEY don’t reopen the strait then WE are going to blockade it ourselves.”

What an extraordinarily embarrassing moment for this country.

If you’re still asking why Eric Swalwell got exposed now please read this.

Look at the women at NASA.

They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points.

And they are doing it all with joy.👇

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Prada’s out there answering the real questions, like what if a diaper had pockets

As a former journalist - it’s so lovely to see all the US anchors and reporters have a break from talking about the chaos,destruction and death the president is perpetually inflicting on the world to talk about what these amazing scientists are achieving.

Let the nerds inherit the earth.

I don’t understand how there’s never been an astronaut PM or Pres.

Listening to ArtemisII crew these weeks they are the leaders we need:
-focus on cohesion & collaboration
-are clear they are working to make the systems better for those who come next
-clearly have empathy that is extraordinary

Artemis II…
I am so here for all the unabashed nerding out.

The excitement of the NASA scientists talking about the mission and re-entry is infectious.

Another grift in a long line….
