Trump Administration Nears $500 Million Spirit Rescue Package The Trump administration is close to reaching a financial rescue package for embattled Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc., according to a person familiar with the matter.

Half a billion dollars of taxpayer money to "save" a failing airline that's still going to die anyway. Some insider has an angle. Lutnick's kids, probably? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Naw, easiest Risk Factors section in the history of S-1 filings.

"There is a very real chance that none of this is even true, much less feasible."

All good!

I found the closer Graeber got to the present day the less he understood how things work, but that might be a function of wanting to fit his thesis to everything and thus being resistant to understanding new things. But the first two-thirds at least I found compelling.

we all know I have no life, so:

It is shockingly infeasible to have a local music library sync songs and playlists to your phone over a wire, then have those playlists only play the songs that are on them without finding “other stuff you like” to mix in.

Measure of our fallen timeline, for sure.

Monitoring the Situation Thrilled to announce our investment in a new media company called MTS

Next brainiac idea from the Egghead Who Does Not Introspect. This one sounds like it's basically that Fake AI MAGA Girl but for dudes who NoFap. www.a16z.news/p/monitoring...

If it weren't so globally fatal, the MAGA arc of "the Deep State is preventing him from doing what he wants" to "now that he has destroyed the Deep State he can do what he wants" to "what the fuck is he doing why is nobody preventing him from doing this stuff???" would be such sweet schadenfreude.

I do, he’s too much of a clown up his own ass to time these market swings. Whoever is really cleaning up isn’t even on our radars, people we don’t even know about.

The funniest thing about this is the implication that Kash Patel has $250M worth of career to damage.

Fifteen down. Thirty-three* to go.

* this feels like it could be a count of "number of wars" too

What I am reading here is that terrorist attacks are getting to the actively planned stage much more reliably under the current administration than the previous one...?

Spoiler alert: It will not be better, and will in several significant ways be worse, than the JCPOA.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

The worst thing about the President saying the war is over literally every single fucking week for six weeks now is you just know he’s incrementing that stupid “number of wars he’s ended” count each time.

One thing about Kash Patel eventually being fired is there’s no way to imagine what his face will look like upon hearing the news.

"Orange man bad" was true & sufficient from the very beginning. Here we are, over 10 years into this shit, and the supposed adults in charge of US elite politics & media just keep ... discovering it. Again & again. Exclaiming. "Gosh, y'know, he really does seem bad!" No shit you f'ing lumps.

This but it’s Torquemada in Nemesis.

Oh man this ceasefire shit is classic Treaty of Kadesh.

I barely even know who he is and I'm so tired of it. It all seems so stupid. Which might, in fact, mean that he's the Joe Rogan of the Left.

I wonder if all the atomic flashes will be visible from Artemis II.

Ironically, Californians will be able to handle gas going from $4.50 to $6.50 better than all those Red states whose gas is going from $2.50 to $4.50.

Watching the cavalcade of "oh sure, LIBS tried to warn us but I mean why didn't someone we would LISTEN to try to warn us" among right-wing attention-parasites this week has been a helluva thing.

"Good Friday service - NO CATHOLICS" is really pulling the second mask off. If they were in a culturally appropriating mood, though, they missed a great opportunity to also have a NO JEWS Passover Seder this week.

GOP governor candidate explodes at Black voter: 'You should be lynched!' A viral clip posted to X on Thursday showed Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback blowing up at a Black voter and telling him he should be "lynched" for asking about the allegation...

Firing his Broadway cast and going on the midterms tour with an all new road cast.

I was thinking the other day that I could probably assemble a two or three hour playlist from my library that only contains tracks with Apollo comms samples.

There's really so much innovation happening out there in the world of dead-eyed sociopathy these days.
