He’s either (a) too stupid to understand the AI bubble is poised to burst once everyone realizes these companies lack a viable path to profitability or (b) using taxpayers to forestall that financial reckoning at the behest of his benefactors who are leveraged to the hilt on the matter.

The English lexicon is built on consensus. Someone had to start building that consensus for every single word added. When the drafting task at hand inspires a novel turn of phrase, the autocorrect highlight isn’t flagging an error. It’s testing your mettle. Will you meet the moment?

I want these people’s romantic partners to dose them with sodium pentothal and ask them exactly what it was they enjoyed about Mad Men.
It’s almost become trite to point out, but if Putin had specifically conscripted Trump to sabotage our foreign policy for Russia (and China)’s geopolitical benefit, Trump would not be doing anything differently.
Is this administration aesthetically illiterate or genuinely staffed with people who grew up rooting for the villain in every James Bond film? Because it has to be one of the two.
Every Knicks in Four shirt purchased karmically offsets a Hawk Tuah shirt floating around in the universe.
Irony alert: The Iowa legislature is forcing U of Iowa students to take courses on topics like "why capitalism works, how it works, & why it has been so successful"...because students weren't voluntarily choosing to enroll in the courses

A provision in the Iowa state budget will require all students at the University of Iowa to complete two classes at the Center for Intellectual Freedom to get their degree.

Trump says he's interested in govt taking equity stakes in the giant AI companies like OpenAI or Anthropic: "There's something very interesting about it, where it almost becomes a partnership. The American people can benefit from the success of AI, and by doing that, they're gonna like it better."
Many people are asking questions about the President's use of the DOJ to punish his enemies that are answered by the huge banner of the President's menacing mug hanging over the entrance of the DOJ.
Breaking WSJ:
Trump says he wants Bill Pulte, his incoming, unqualified acting Director of National Intelligence, to begin firing a large number of employees as part of a shake-up of the intel community.
Reminder: Just yesterday, Trump said Pulte won't be in this role permanently.
JUST IN: Judge Mary McElroy (Trump/RI) refers DOJ attorneys to the court discipline committee over handling of fight over trans medical care subpoenas to RI Hospital. Earlier she agreed that presumption of regularity for govt 'no longer holds.' storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
