The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

Coming up on #KTLA: President Trump says his tariffs haven't caused prices to spike. But to address sticker shock at the supermarket, he's cutting tariffs on food imports, including coffee, beef and bananas. Psychologists call this cognitive dissonance

Yesterday I learned that the US Navy has a tiara option for female sailors to wear in dress uniform and I for one think they are missing a huge opportunity for recruitment by not making this more well-known. I did not know the Navy had tiaras when I was picking my service branch. I feel cheated.

I’m not going to name you publicly, but if you were the speaker who put in the abstract that was so obviously written by ChatGPT it made me groan “Oh, come on” so loud people asked what I was looking at and then they groaned too, you should be almost as embarrassed as the people who accepted it

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

I cannot search three words in quotes.
Computers used to be powerful. That power meant something. It was power for making your life better in sovereignty to your own interests.

Harry Enten: "Nobody is buying what Trump is selling on Epstein. His net approval on it is an absolutely dreadful -39 pts... Far worse than any other major issue.
It isn't improving over time.
Even among the GOP, just 45% (!) approve of the job the Trump admin is doing on the Epstein case."

I mean, who wants to stay in a country actively stripping away your rights and personhood?
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

If you’ve never heard the story of Pan Am’s California Clipper’s return to home in December 1941 and January 1942, here’s the start of what promises to be a great retelling.
A sneak look at the next in our series on the extraordinary round-the-world flight of the California Clipper during WW2.
Our crew must work out how you can fly a Boeing 314 on regular grade gasoline.
And they must work it out over the Indian Ocean.
