A male elephant seal laying in short grass with a beach in the background. Its head is lifted and mouth is wide open as it lets out an aggressive call.
A portrait of a male elephant seal sitting up relaxed. It’s long snout is draped down its face, looking like a muppet
Inside you there are two Elephant Seals 🐘 🦭

I should be surprised that a company thought it was a good idea to steal the identities and work of experts to create fake versions of them to exploit and didn't think there would be profound blowback, but it's the golden age for assholes
Before Citizens United, billionaires donated 0.3% of campaign financing. In the last election, 300 billionaires & their families — 0.0001% of America's population — provided 19%.

Joan Crawford leads the Charleston extravaganza in a scene from Sally, Irene and Mary (1925). Remember: decaf after dinner.
Don Jr. and Eric Trump backing a drone company to target military sales is a total collapse of American ethics. In any functioning democracy, the President’s family selling weapons to the military their father leads would be a federal crime.
A perpetual loop of people rediscovering the old con man's adage that the best marks are cynical people who believe they are in on the grift with you.
This reminds me of that line I saw someone say once (which rang true) that something that makes Trump uniquely able to connect with low-information voters is that he is a low-information voter.
He doesn’t care about you. He never has.
if i was Kristi Noem i simply would not quote Orwell
What‘s tough about this article is none of these guys seem to have reflected much about how they got into epstein’s orbit or why he was interested in their work and what that might say about it. Nor did science probe, instead it’s like ‘give c these guys a medal for not going to pedo island. 1/
They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they don’t know the answer. The ‘smartest people in the room’ if ‘smart’ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.
That doggo tail tho
This is Trump's America.
A tail that could blot out the sun
We are living through a period where we have mass government layoffs literally causing countless deaths while at the same time DHS has so much money that Noem will have a different luxury jet for every day of the week
Being honest about declining trust in U.S. news requires being honest about Republicans and their bottomless bad faith propaganda efforts, and that's bad for financials and access
This ought to be disqualifying. I wonder how Bill Cassidy is going to vote. “She refused to say whether she would advise parents to vaccinate their children against measles, even as the disease spreads in South Carolina.”
Don’t spend the precious moments of your life watching an old rapist lie to you on TV tonight, do something healthier like chew on roofing nails

this is so internet, to me
Just a thought.
By using AI and poorly hiding it, students these days are really preparing themselves for the real world it turns out.
Personally I don't think we need to take all his titles from him
Aide: Mr President, the Epstein fallout is getting closer to you. It's all anyone talks about.
Trump: Fine. Release the X Files.
It’s times like these when Donald really wishes he had a shoulder to cry on from his best friend, Jeffrey Epstein
"Why won't the US Secretary of Health and Human Services put a shirt on?" is a question I never imagined asking quite so often.
The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.
Tech is a culture
