You know he’s broken Twitter if he’s now recycling the Reddit posts he used to spin as his own insight during @karaswisher.bsky.social interviews (before he got Twitter addicted and lost his “charm”).
Flawless logic, sir! Makes perfect sense that because video games are improving, we must live in a simulation!

Anyone that didn’t expect this style of illegal military flex after Trump borrowed a trick from the CCP in renaming the South America Sea wasn’t paying enough (cynical) attention.
Sen. Mullin: "We know that the Navy or the Coast Guard picked up survivors already and sent them back to their country."
Bash: "Could that be because a lawyer in the Pentagon said 'you can't do that again'?"
Sen. Mullin: "No…Why do we care if we take them out in international water?"

This isn't news coverage. It's a football pregame show full of baseless speculation interrupted by the discover that it's Tuesday and the stadium is empty.
absolutely incredible -- CNN host introduces a segment about Trump's "new healthcare proposal," but less than two minutes later breaks into her script to announce "breaking news" that Trump's healthcare proposal is being postponed

Proof those of us who still use Wikipedia and click through the citations are superior humans. Duh.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

This is correct. Trump was almost killed by a member of his beloved "basket of deplorables" that he invited under the Republican tent.
How many people can name the attempted Trump assassin without looking it up? As soon as we found out he had a social media account with a bunch of anti-immigrant and antisemitic posts he poof’d out of public and media interest. Dog bites man.

I'm not sure if this is more embarrassing for The Young Turks or Tucker. One is doing the same JAQ'ing he's done since leaving institutional news. The other prove they haven't googled about 9/11 in the 25 years prior to turning on their cameras.

That's a bit unsettling to hear from an organization built on top of mastering safety tolerances. He sounds like the type of management dork currently ruining Boeing.
It's full steam ahead for NASA, according to Sean Duffy, the agency's acting administrator. During an internal employee town hall, Duffy warned of "letting safety be the enemy of progress" when it comes to winning the space race, according to a recording obtained by NBC News.

After Jomboy brought up in a previous breakdown, I can't unsee it in this one: umpire eyeline positioning needs to be tracked (maybe @umpscorecard.bsky.social can do it). Some guys set up to watch the inside edge and can't see the outside with any accuracy. #MLB
