Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

I think I hate it more when they are eating something while reacting

I think Don Jr is going down with the ship.

Also Carlson is 100% gonna try to run for president

These people only divorced Trump because he is old and gross now. If Trump were 15 years younger and acting the same way they would not be breaking up with him.

Reports in Iran: 'Ahmad Nadari, representative of the people of Tehran in the parliament: The toll in the Strait of Hormuz will be collected in rials and this toll is permanent. In addition, the United States and the countries supporting it must pay compensation.'

Tucker Carlson doesn’t deserve anyone’s praise for trying to position himself as a leader of the post-Trump American right.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

he keeps saying “nuclear dust” and it makes one feel a bit crazy

*MJ

aww.

Tim Cook's legacy will be enshittifying Apple's software, abusing their market dominance, and then playing apologist to fascism.

Under his leadership they burned billions on a car that never drove, and the only major attempt at a new product during his tenure (the Apple Vision Pro) was a total dud.

what is he even talking about

ah yes, a way to relive the sounds of people slurping up spaghetti

sauron's security infamously cannot account for three tiny guys, one of whom is literally carrying his most prized possession and who is able to do so fully into the heart of his realm where it is destroyed

We made it 65 weeks, you guys!

Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz

Antiques Roadshow is made possible by viewers like you and Viking River Cruises, which brings luxury and literal death defying thrill to your travels

lol I’ll never understand why these people are so thirsty for stinky dumb Trump’s approval

need a new level of disapproval that exceeds “strongly”

U.S. negotiators prepare for more peace talks as Trump repeats threats to Iran President Trump said the U.S. is returning to Pakistan for a second round of talks with Iran, led by Vice President Vance. But Iran's state media claims their government will not be taking part.

Update:

President Trump said the U.S. is returning to Pakistan for a second round of talks with Iran, led by Vice President Vance. But Iran's state media claims their government will not be taking part.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

In Trump’s Orbit, Women Aren’t the Only Ones Concerned About Their Looks

They mocked the field of gender studies as meaningless, but I think they really just knew it was onto them.

They're the softest bunch of insecure little manchildren play-acting what they have been told is manly and macho.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx. 

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

I can’t understand AT ALL the people who don’t seem to notice other people chewing loudly.

Tales From Kash Patel’s FBI Some updates to the agency’s portrayal in popular films and TV shows

he seems to have taken this as a challenge

spent some time at a Goodwill Bins en route to my parents house in Maine. Dumb loser trump merch is headed to a landfill

Bluesky announces that they are pivoting to selling shoes.

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...
