Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Sen. Brian Schatz, a Democrat from Hawaii, bailed on Bluesky because people kept pointing out how often he would vote for Trump’s bullshit while talking tough.
Twitter is supposed to be his safe space where he can talk a big game while rubber stamping fascism so this is clearly devastating for him

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Talent isn't rare. Throw an apple & you hit someone with talent. Perseverance? rare. Work ethic? exceedingly rare; the willingness to grind. Being able to endure the scorn, rejection & privation a life in the arts dooms you to in the United States is unicorn-scarce. But talent? Talent is everywhere.

Howard Stern asked Trump how young Trump would go.
When Quivers asks for his “age limit,” Trump starts out by saying he doesn’t have one — but then gives a point of reference that looks not great in any light, saying he would draw a line at “12 year-olds”:

Trump has pretty good instincts about when he's going to be in trouble, politically or otherwise, so him explicitly giving himself plausible deniability now in his statements should be interpreted as an acknowledgment that he sees some danger in the policy in general & re Abrego Garcia specifically
Trump: "You're talking about Abrego Garcia -- is an illegal alien MS-13 gang member and foreign terrorist. This comes out of the State Department and very legitimate sources I assume. I'm just giving you what they handed to me but this is supposed to be certified stuff."

U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

@kenwhite.bsky.social People are filing with the courts saying that Trump has now admitted that Elon is in charge of DOGE during his speech last night. Could those filings be dismissed under the Speech & Debate Clause? (You & Josh bring it up so much that I am now cursed with "knowledge")
