After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
That fucker is so woke.
Me two weeks ago: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, not to protect anyone, but because entering prison as the world's most illustrious pedophile makes that a logical decision. Conspiracy theories make less sense than the stated story.
Me now: The Pee Tape was shot on Epstein Island.
Gotta be Brontosaurus right?

He’s correct
Palmer Luckey's big idea that launched him to prominence has so far generated about negative 60 billion dollars of value for the company that purchased it. It's remarkable that he's seen as a exemplary founder and business genius instead of the architect of a business disaster case study.

"Your health records will be on the block chain."
"Everyone will live in the Metaverse."
"All art will be NFTs."
"Generative AI will replace the need for humans."
We need to reckon with the reality that the tech industry no longer creates things that anyone wants.
Look how comfortable that dog is on Tyler Shough’s lap. GREEN FLAG. That’s the kind of teammate I want in my QB room.
Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.
Meltdowns and opera uniting.

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.
in his first ever appearance, superman beats up spousal abusers, halts an unjust execution and exposes government corruption.

I'm hardly an International Businessman™, but even my work has shown me that there are particular steps taken when negotiating with Chinese government officials and business leaders, and endlessly insulting them in public isn't helpful to the process.
These clowns live in the tiniest bubbles.
Jon Stewart has a message for his Bluesky critics: 'My bad'
Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. “The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'” That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers — answers he’s still waiting for.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen
