This is a spectacularly bad idea, flying President Sundown around the country so he can yell at his biggest fans that everything IS less expensive, they’re just stupid
Axios reports that he will use a string of national media appearances to "aggressively" push back against criticism over the rising cost of everyday essentials, with the White House believing the president is the best person to highlight the apparent economic progress he has enacted.

Aww! When we took Ollie to the vet for his shots, the vet tech diplomatically said he was “spirited” and “rambunctious” and also “had opinions”. Can’t imagine why

It’s really giving me Elizabeth Holmes texts to Sunny, just so juvenile I’m almost embarrassed for her
scott budman @scottbudman Text messages between Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani today at the #Theranos trial. Holmes: "You are the breeze in desert for me." "My water." "And ocean." "Meant to be only together tiger." Balwani: "OK"

Isn’t this a problem though? If the House needs to vote on this bill that opens up the vote on releasing the Epstein files
Passage of the bill would not immediately reopen the government. The House would also have to approve the bill. The House has been out of session since September and Speaker Mike Johnson would need to call his members back to Washington to consider this bill before it could head to President Donald Trump's desk.

This explains a lot
On how his life changed after his father won the lottery in 1969 when he was 5 We moved into a house and lived a very sort of strange life. I mean, we had all sorts of pets. We had eagles, a pet lion, 30 dogs, deer. ... We had a zoo. Like Danny in The Shining, I could go on my tricycle for hours in the long corridors sometimes, like a magic realism novel. I would go for weeks without seeing a single adult. I would find food on the fridge, I would find clean clothes on my drawers, and I didn't interact with many adults. I was existing in a mysterious life in an enchanted castle.... One of the things [my father] did is he bought a library and filled it with books that he never read, but I read them all.

996 and people who brag about only sleeping 4 hours a night are just lying or terrible at their jobs. Whenever I see this nonsense about working punishing hours, my first thought is “you obviously have no idea how to prioritize or plan.” Because of this:
"I think overwhelmingly the founders who choose to glamorize this are younger," he said. "They don't have the maturity to understand that experienced people can work 40 to 50 hours a week and get a lot more done than in an 80-hour week."

They were probably sitting together giggling about it. And it’s not a controversial question but here was the response, both guns blazing:
After HuffPost asked Leavitt if she thought her response was funny, she replied: "It's funny to me that you actually consider yourself a journal [sic]. You are a far left hack who nobody takes seriously, including your colleagues in the media, they just don't tell you that to your face. Stop texting me your disingenuous, biased, and bullshit questions."

This all it took for Bannon to get pushed out but Trump had it more together in 2017

This whole paragraph lol
According to the Treasury source, the Trump dollar initiative would not have originated at a Mint production facility; it would have come from Washington, D.C. While there is a nonzero chance that someone at the Treasury has reason to expect Donald Trump to die soon, the much likelier explanation is that someone ordered this coin either not knowing or not caring that it appears to be against the law. "It's entirely possible that this is just some toady trying to score brownie points," said the source.

I don’t understand why people keep throwing money at him instead of telling him to shut up. This is an absolutely laughable thing to say:
On Wednesday, Mr. Musk added that Tesla's offices were just a short walk away. "The reason xAI is here is because Tesla is right across the road," he said. "My prediction is: Optimus will be more productive than the entire global economy. That the output of goods and services from Optimus will far exceed the global economy, of everyone on Earth."

Adventure cats! (If “adventure” means lounging in the garden)
Two cats wearing harnesses and leads lounging in the garden. Stewie, a tabby cat, is wearing a tweed harness with a badge that says “Stewie”. Ollie, a gray cat, is wearing a darker tweed harness with a badge that says “Ollie”.

Government by Ctrl-F. This is ridiculous
"I was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege," Klenz said. "Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them." ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.

Look at this problem they’re trying to solve: 12 to 30 whole minutes!
Currently, the 8-mile journey from the airport to the Music City Convention Center can take anywhere from 12 to 30 minutes during peak traffic times. The Boring Co. estimates the same ride could take as little as 8 minutes with its fleet of underground Teslas.

Smacks of this
Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena does not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly

As always with these tech bro assholes, they loftily brush aside *breaking the law* because their projects are like really really important and not breaking the law would take too long
Flock isn't without regulatory troubles of its own. The state of Illinois is investigating whether cops broke the law there when they gave out-of-state agencies access to their Flock feeds to hunt down breaches of immigration or abortion law. (Flock has since updated its tools to prevent out-of-state sharing in states with laws prohibiting it.) Last year, a Forbes investigation found Flock had regularly failed to get the correct permits and licenses to deploy its devices appearing to break a number of local laws. Langley admits the company is "still very far from perfect" but that in cases where it has struggled to get quick permit approvals from transportation agencies, waiting 12 months "just doesn't make sense." He complains that "it feels like we were penalized for saving a kid from being hit by a car and we got caught for jaywalking."
