Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism

"Your Account is Suspended" Message 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.

Handy Guide:

✅ Free Speech: When GCs who had no relation to my University complained to try and get me kicked off my course

❌ Not Free Speech: Exercising one's right to peaceful protest against those advocating your exclusion from society – on the campus you have to live and work in

Cancel the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Trump will be guest of honor at the “nerd prom,” with journalists serving as suck-ups

People are urging participants in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to wear pro-1st Amendment pocket squares or take a bathroom break when “guest of honor” Trump speaks.
I have a better idea: Cancel the damn dinner.

To be fair most of that money went to private consultancy or people like Musk and his crappy 'AI' company. You paid over 4K but probably only got about 1K of weapons and war.

How can anyone think this man is smart? Not everyone can have a penthouse. That's not how buildings work. That's not how supplya nd demand works. Like he's just not smart.

One thing that's worth repeating: There is *zero* evidence that "substack helps you get readers". The only thing that we've ever seen that helps grow an audience is other authors mentioning your blog or newsletter, which is not the platform's doing. Substack just takes credit for that!

HW3 Claim — Hardware 3 and FSD. Tesla didn't deliver what was sold. Tesla sold FSD with the promise that every car would become fully self-driving. On Model 3, S, X and Y with Hardware 3 that promise isn't being kept. Sign up.

I guess one side effect of Tesla FSD being approved in NL is now they are open to lawsuits for selling something that doesn't exist.

If you're the new lead of a LGBTQ+ advocacy org and your very first act in the job is to express sympathy for JKR in a national newspaper... Maybe... Idk... Just putting it out there... But maybe you're not the right person for the role.

Coldplay's Chris Martin encourages fans to 'send love' to Charlie Kirk's family Chris Martin encouraged fans during a recent Coldplay concert to "send love anywhere you wanna send it in the world" and to Charlie Kirk's family.

I mean it makes sense. I used to be a fan but now i slip it anytime one of their songs comes on.

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN."

Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

England fans facing hugely inflated prices to get to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for World Cup games The cost of getting the train from New York to the venue, where the Three Lions play Panama in their final group game, will be £111 - nearly 12 times the usual fare.

Lol if you have enough money to pay airfares, hotels and tickets this is not breaking the bank.

The best way to save money is not to go at all.

I have no idea why this event exists. IMO, the purpose of journalism is to interrogate power, not schmooze with it

i will give the press corpse this — going to the trouble of printing a couple of lines of the first amendment out on a sheet of fabric to express your fears about encroachment, then folding it up and putting it away in your suit pocket *does* send a message. it’s just not the message they think.

Also, hoping the lady who says Obama is guilty of treason, the guy who thinks Trump is Jesus, the lady sleeping with her security detail and who drinks on the job, and the guy who harvests raccoon penises will vote the president mentally unfit for office doesn't seem like the soundest strategy.

Having lived in Soho and knowing it's a surprisingly residential area even though people do not think it is because they see it only as a place they party I am still annoyed that anyone chooses to live in an area and complain about existing venues in that area. Just like Ministry of Sound :(
