Our vaunted business titans are weenies

Several executives said they had discussed opposing some of Trump's policies, including tariffs. Before a meeting with Trump and the Business Roundtable this year, some executives discussed how to quietly confront the president and question his policies, people with knowledge of the discussions said. But when Trump showed up, no one asked tough questions.

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

I have a genuine fear of being trapped somewhere forever in pain and unable to escape or end it, so that’s why I’d choose 2.

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

Then in 2010 they made a sequel to TRON and that was a huge flop too, despite being helmed by a director who later became a mega-hitmaker. Why go back for more? It's weird!

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
