I’ll never understand how either of these men became famous… but that’s the root of a serious problem.

Short answer:

No.

So our air defense systems are depleted.

This is what will happen with all the “funds”.

There will never be a ballroom.
The Venezuelan oil money is gone.
The tariff money is gone.

Each and every new account they create will be magically emptied.

It’s giving Handmaid’s Tale… and it’s creepy as fuck.

Indeed. It’s heartening and heartbreaking at the same time.

If you happen to be sitting on a porch with me and I exclaim “Look at you! Aren’t you pretty!!”

Relax. I’m talking to a bird.

I despise religion so much. I’d rather have a peaceful world.

People are the same across the world. It’s the assholes in power… particularly the overtly religious or racist ones, who cause all the problems.

I once spent a week in a Hezbollah neighborhood in Beirut. The people in the neighborhood were wonderful to me.

Why can’t we all just be happy?

The Pentagon still used Claude to target schools. Now they get to sue and get more money? That’s bullshit. If they don’t want to find themselves at odds with the pentagon then they should stay out of the bombing business. I can’t cheer for the bad guys even against the worse guys.

The IEA has agreed to release 400 million barrels of oil to relieve price pressures…

But the market didn’t react.

Why?

Because the world burns 100 million barrels of oil every single day.

So this gets us to the weekend.

That’s all. 🤷🏻

For context…

In 2024 Harris received about 135k votes in the general election.

Only 115k people voted in this special election… total. Harris got about 43k of that total.

There’s almost 100k Harris voters out there who didn’t vote!!

If we get those voters to the polls, we will win.

This is a winnable seat now.

Harris won the bulk of his vote total in the three most populous counties, and turnout was not huge…

There needs to be a massive GOTV drive, especially in Cobb, Floyd, and Paulding Counties.

Let’s get organized!

With 20% of global oil/LNG and one-third of seaborne fertilizer routed through the strait, food prices surge hardest on vulnerable developing nations facing debt burdens and soaring borrowing costs. Poorest countries like Sudan, Somalia, and others face acute fertilizer shortages.

UN Trade and Development warns the Strait of Hormuz disruption—traffic down 97%—is spiking energy, fertilizer, transport, and insurance costs, echoing Covid-19 and Ukraine war shocks.

I’m betting this IPO never happens. Simply because I think the market is going to crash and I think musk won’t want to do it unless the market is strong.

Since literally day one, everyone in this administration has been promising a golden age…

As things progressively get worse and worse.

And that trend will continue.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

You know…

I wouldn’t be mad if trump ended the war.

But he didn’t. He just said things that sounded sort of like he was ending a war to stop the market from crashing.

Meanwhile, they were still dropping bombs.

Literally.

At the same time.

And yet the idiots in the media ran with it.

Iran seems to be outsmarting us. Weird, since we have only the smartest people running things.
