Once upon a time, a writer penned a script on the Murdochs. And nobody would touch it. Enter the character of Greg Hirsch. Cousin Greg. Art meet life. #Succession.

Now comes the ritual humiliation of NFL players. Just a few people speaking out in defense of their own dignity would make a big difference here.

The fuck? If US leaders really ordered this, it is a new low (and we are already hell-level low) from Hegseth and Trump.

When politicians don't honor their promises, our work is to make them. To do that, we have to build enough power to make them. I understand why people get disappointed but this is unfortunately how things work in politics.

Democrats putting it out there that Trump was played by Lindsay Graham should stoke an interesting response.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

Bombing a desalinization plant (after bombing a girls' school) means we're already deep into the "ugly" phase.

So let me get this straight ...

1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil

I do want to make sure we're being clear about this:

The Bluesky team maintains the same review, red-teaming, and QA processes that we always have. AI coding tools have been proving useful, but haven't changed the fundamental practices of good engineering. Human review and direction remain key.

In a lengthy phone interview, President Trump marveled at the success of the military operation against Iran and expressed no concern about what comes next.

"I hope you are impressed," he said to me. "How do you like the performance? I mean, Venezuela is obvious. This might be even better. How do you like the performance?"

I said _nobody questions the success of the military operation_, the concern is what happens next.

"Forget about next," he answered. "They are decimated for a 10-year period before they could build it back."

C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is β€œspecial military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.

Two months ago Trump said it was "imperative" that CNN get new owners.

But Netflix boss Ted Sarandos says Trump's statement (or anything else he said in public) had nothing to do with Netflix backing away from its Warners bid.

No thank you, Mr. Pecker Something unusual happened to me yesterday. Actually, for me it wasn’t just unusualβ€Šβ€”β€Šit was a first. I was made an offer I couldn’t…

When one by one they surrender to 'the charms' of Donald Trump, this Jeff Bezos quote comes to mind. "Rather than capitulate to extortion & blackmail, I've decided to publish exactly what they sent me, despite the personal cost & embarrassment they threaten." Ted Sarandos, what do they have on you?

The press faces a Pentagon β€˜black box’ on the Iran war | CNN Business As Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the US is β€œaccelerating” its Iran strikes, Pentagon beat reporters say they’re not getting answers to key questions about the ongoing military operations.

"Nearly $1 trillion in taxpayer money flows into the department, and decisions being made by the secretary are literally life and death decisions about putting American troops in harm’s way β€” the public deserves to know what their military is doing, especially in times of war."
