in the interest of fairness, they should give half of the job to Barron Trump and half of the job to Hunter Biden

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 16h

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Barron Trump tipped for top TikTok job

US president’s 19-year-old son could be appointed to the app’s board

before i left Hard Drive, they made us do this kind of stuff and it was a lot of me going into meetings like "uh well i guess i spent 2 hours today....thinking about Master Chief"

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

guys, look, there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. i get that it *feels nice* to yell at me or whatever, but i simply have to make money somewhere. and it's not like there's that many people hiring blood boys right now. so yes i'm getting paid by Peter Thiel, but it's really not a big deal

Hello friends. Today, I'm releasing my first Duckspeak album in 5 years. Bones & Skin: 2012 - 2022 is a double compilation pulling together a decade's worth of my rarities, unreleased demos, and covers. It's a vulnerable, messy project that means a lot to me.

An album cover for Duckspeak's Bones and Skin: 2012 - 2022. It shows an abstracted circular texture that looks like skin under a microscope on a faded purple background.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

for context, it used to be that landlords would hire brokers to do the work of finding someone to rent an apartment. then that broker would charge the renter literally thousands of dollars

now the rule is that the person who hired the broker (landlord 99.9% of the time) has to pay their fee

people love to be like "the left just wants to win moral battles" but this was a straightforward law that was changed and made the lives of every single renter in nyc materially better. it's that simple imo

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

More people should do this—especially with shows starring women, POC, etc that may be passed over at a first glance of a photo of the cast. Plus if it doesn't get picked up, we know who to blame *pitchfork emoji*
