So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

“Musk named the machine Godot—the titular character from a play about a man who is expected to deliver salvation but never shows up, leaving believers disgraced and suicidal.”

It’s almost as though Musk knew he was scamming people from the very beginning.

"Over the past decade, the Boring Company has dug only a few miles of operational tunnel. It has never cracked $23 million in reported annual revenue…Yet, for reasons inexplicable to anyone who doesn’t worship at the altar of high finance, it is valued at $7 billion."

For 15 goddamned years the vast majority of news media orgs enthusiastically and uncritically lapped up Musk’s bullshit about colonizing Mars, and when he suddenly abandons his any-day-now Mars colony in favor of colonizing the Moon, there was barely a ripple of interest in those same news orgs.

Had to doublecheck the date on this

While Trump hurt our ability to help Americans get to safety by only having 4 confirmed Ambassadors in the 14 countries with evac orders and not planning ahead of time, it’s the career public servants at State Dept now stepping up. Let me tell you what’s been happening. THREAD (1/9)

A cool thing is that religious death cults like American Evangelicals are so obsessed with their paranoid and unhinged fears l that when they are granted even a bit of power they move heaven and earth to manifest them in the world and create the Armageddon they have always desired.

No, There Was No ‘Imminent Threat’ From Iran Team Trump shows that words made to mean everything will cease to mean anything.

"Imminent" means "I felt like doing it."

Why hasn't Pam Bondi released the FULL Epstein files, as required by our subpoena and the law?

“The Dow" isn't an acceptable answer.

Stop the cover-up. Release the files, NOW.

This is the guy who’s telling you how to pinch your nickels because of the war he supports:

Amazing that this essay never even mentions public transportation @thewaroncars.bsky.social

Rubio was confirmed 99-0 in the Senate because he was a respected colleague (derogatory/delusional). As the Mullin confirmation battle gets rolling, I don't think senators are chastened enough for the errors of their ways.

I suspect a majority of Dem Senators will vote to confirm Mullin because of the idiot notion of “collegiality.” The core group of these Senators are the 10-15 who’ve repeatedly voted to confirm a variety of Trump nominees since early 2025.

38% of airline passengers vote to open plane door midflight because that bitch stewardess said not to

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.

I realize it’s the Daily Mail, but it sounds like they really did get their hands on a DHS bulletin that was meant for public release until the WH stopped it. The report is worth reading in full:

CPAC Head Says Iranian Schoolgirls Are Better Dead Than “in a Burqa” Leading Republicans don’t seem to care about the bombing of a girls’ school in Iran.

Massive war price tag could be a massive problem for GOP leaders The prospect of a ballooning new spending bill has GOP leaders bracing for a messy internal fight.

"Senior Republicans privately expect Trump's administration to request tens of billions of dollars for the Middle East conflict and other military needs from Congress in the coming days, with some GOP lawmakers hearing estimates that the Pentagon is spending as much as $2 billion a day on the war."

I’m old enough to remember when people voted for an insane sadistic wannabe dictator to be President again because the price of eggs had increased.
