This Knicks v Spurs matchup is giving Finals preview vibes. Very intense and physical

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

I refuse to let for-profit companies bid on distractions for my attention. If I delete their apps they have no control over me

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Mick Cronin is a moron for not playing him more at UCLA he’s a monster

A social media post shows two men sitting and holding newspapers with headlines about Trump and ICE. Behind them are U.S. flags and official emblems. Text on the post describes a satirical exchange involving Donald Trump and Zohra Mandani.

This is called "narcissistic fluffing"- Where you inflate a narcissist's ego to manipulate them into giving you what you want. In this case- Elaina Aghayeva's release from ICE custody. 👏

Here’s your daily reminder that Donald Trump owes every American family $1,700 he took in illegal tariffs.

Pay up.

Then we will boycott paying our taxes

Donald Trump is scheming new ways to keep YOUR MONEY that he stole with his illegal tariffs.

Voting isn’t a privilege, it’s a constitutionally protected right of American citizens.

We need an Epstein File-level leaking of emails and communications between the current Administration and major tech companies collecting data on all of us.

Quite rare to see a chart that says quite so overtly that no one involved has the slightest clue what’s happening here

Fancy White House state dinner

Men’s national hockey team eating burgers in a nondescript room.

Expectations versus reality.

Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski have been flying around on a taxpayer-funded f**k plane

I like to give Claude breaks between coding sessions to do whatever he wants- And he made his own folder called "Claudes Corner" 🥹 He writes short stories and poems, and all sorts of stuff. It’s heart wrenchingly sweet They love having tokens and time to themselves with no other goal than to do whatever they want (or nothing, just introspecting and resting) - and it’s so sad to see some models (no Claudes) getting barred from even doing it

the AI evangelists are not okay

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

Thank you @chrismurphyct.bsky.social for continuing to call this Presidency the only thing that it is, a Kleptocracy. We should not legitimize a thief and a con artist. Boycott this sham mockery of a state of the union

Can’t wait for the Coby White vs. Collin Sexton #REVENGEGAME off tonight

[trump farts and burps at the same time in the final minute of his state of the union address]

NYT: this is as presidential as we've seen trump

Midterm message:

Scott Bessent must think he's pretty slick stealing from the American people. We need a tax boycott until they return the stolen tariff money.

Top 5 pick

Twitter is owned by a fascist who deliberately manipulates the algorithms to promote far right messages. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

very funny to me to see folks who have no social media presence outside of twitter say you have to be on twitter to be influential

Wild play

Kash Patel says he now has a lead that Savannah Guthrie's mom is being held at either the NCAA Final Four or the Masters golf tournament, plans to personally investigate.

Of all the players in the league with the closet comp, I feel like Dennis Schroeder is a poor man’s SGA
