Behold, the Sword of Power! Excalibur! For anyone waiting for things from me, this is why: my brain has been consumed by John Boorman and Excalibur, both of them dear to my heart. The restoration is stunning, and finally presents the film in the right aspect ratio on home video... 🧵1/8

The stock market's gains are being overwhelmingly driven by seven Big Tech companies who have invested heavily in AI, which has made tech oligarchs even wealthier.

But when that AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag.

Be warned.

Next time a Republican whines when they get called a fascist, just remind them that Trump says he doesn't mind the label!
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

I loved this book. If you dug my Fortune and Glory books, and, of course, you did :), this is like the video game version.
My book Good Game No Rematch is now more than half-off with Amazon’s Black Friday sale!

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the video game fan in your life (and/or you have no idea what to get them) this silly book fits the bill quite nicely!

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

You olds don't need to hear this, but to you youngbloods out there, I come to you from the future: when the news begins talking about ways to save money for the holidays, rather than getting you hyped to drown in debt buying shit, that means shit is WAY FUCKING WORSE than they are letting on.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.

Dear MAGA:

Donald wants to bring hundreds of thousands of foreign students into the US to benefit from US universities because he thinks Americans are too stupid.

He's giving billions of dollars to Argentina.

He's training Qatari pilots in Idaho.

Do you finally see that "America First" is BS?

Trump lured Lauren Boebert to an in-person meeting in the Situation Room, instead of calling her on the phone, because he knew all her electronic devices would be confiscated before entry, so she couldn't record anything embarrassing or incriminating.

This is the longest government shutdown in American history.

All because Republicans refuse to lower health care costs or fund food assistance.

This is how all Democrats should respond to questions from the billionaire-controlled media.

Trump's approval ratings are already tanking, and the American people haven't even gotten to the part where they pay enormous costs for his stupidity.
