Every time I see #potus staring blankly while someone describes something he’s never heard of before this moment all I can think of is.

Boy have these goobers got ahold of the wrong mailing list. But at least they are wasting their money.

I wonder that #elon doesn’t seem to realize he’s the perfect pasty to take the fall for all of this nonsense. Patsy is to kind a phrase but youknow.

The real question is when will TFGs NPD win out over his pathetic groveling?

You guys know we are now just a few steps away from feats of strength being a senate thing.
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Must watch video from a GOP town hall last night with Victoria Spartz. Spartz is asked whether she will demand Pete Hegseth resign. She refuses.

Crowd shouts her down for a full minute.

In Austin, nonprofits are in the midst of a 24 hour giving day to support our work. I just want to highlight an incredible young person who has already brought people together to raise almost $2k to prevent gun violence. Support her if you can! www.amplifyatx.org/p2p/400455/m...

Err. This is BS without a definition of Outperform.

I mean come the fuck on.
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.

Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

However, a small reminder:

You can't reason with a Narcissist. You can't talk to them or expect them to show understanding.

Behaving like a decent person won't embarrass them or show them up, because they're always right. They will just accept your decency as submission, as is right and proper.

If I owned a #tesla I'd sell it as fast as possible because there's no way #elon didn't just 💩🛏️. TFG may not care but those last few people who have been able to rationalize their ownership just got some clarification about what is really up.

1. Looking at the EV sales results in the U.S. last year, and what EVs have been released, what are coming, and what brands fail to even bring new EVs to market, a pretty startling picture of the automotive market in the U.S. for the remainder of the decade is emerging.

Anyone can walk into Best Buy and walk out with a drone that is more than capable of carrying bad things. Zero reason to bring one across the us border. Smells like some propaganda to me.
This is bad, and certainly smells of an intended assassination—though obviously we cannot know that yet.

But you do not bring a trained killer into the United States just to have him conduct anodyne covert drone surveillance.

It is unclear why Timur Praliev, an ex-member of Yevgeny Prigozhin's Wagner Group, was carrying a drone in a backpack as he tried to enter the U.S. illegally.

Do companies just not realize at the CxO level that the #frelling virtual assistants make customers want to take a #frelling hostage?

Is no one paying attention to the NPS of these things?
