I still only have long positions in the stock market. I’ve been questioning whether this is a good idea since November.

That’s what it was a performance for Putin. We are so fucked. I fear for my 3 beautiful children.
This whole oval office meeting was a planned performance for one person and one person only: Putin. And he's grinning ear to ear.
Trump and Vance yell and trash talk Zelensky while sucking Putin’s dick. That’s where we are at. A century of global leadership vaporized in a month.

This. This is why I’m canceling my NYT subscription.
So why are New York Times reporters still inside the White House instead of boycotting pressers in solidarity with the AP? Stop printing empty words while you cower in fear of a tyrant and cling to your precious White House press passes, which YOU DON’T NEED to cover this administration!

I just saw a grey haired man grab his grey haired wife's ass in the grocery store, and that made me smile, because I’m now of the age that that’s just something to look forward to.

This morning google sent me an email about my google payments profile. Well, time to close another google account.

Google maps is gone from my phone and other devices. In fact my migration away from google is nearly complete. I won’t be supporting their fascism and you shouldn’t either.

FWIW, Apple Maps still correctly names the Gulf of Mexico.

I dumped YouTube premium when google dumped DEI. I always had Nebula - I get the content I enjoy the most with Nebula for 1/10 the price and 0% of the nonsense. @knowingbetter.nebula.tv @legaleagle.bsky.social

Sure, one person can't fix everything that's going on in this dictatorship takeover of America. But we need to stop saying "Isn't anyone gonna do anything about this?" from behind our screens and start saying "what can I do to help?"

Well I’ll be damned. Trump did something that makes sense.

I deeply regret my purchase of a Tesla.
Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

It’s time to start talking about @johnfetterman.com replacement after his cooperation with Republicans on Pam Bondi.

Democrats should be cooperating with Republicans on a single thing until we have a real president.

Maybe, we actually got lucky with how Trump is behaving. Here Ezra out, I can’t state this as well as he can.
