Anyone feel like the Israel cease fire was an effort to get the Nobel on Trump's part? And that now that he didn't get it he won't hold Netanyahu to it or care if it dissolves?

I'm not sure who uses Microsoft 365 and needs to hear this, but the recent price increase from $69.99 to $99.99 is for the added functionality of CoPilot, their AI tool. If you choose Microsoft 365 without CoPilot, you can retain the $69.99/year subscription price.

I know pulling this quote is borderline hackwork at this point but Jesus fucking CHRIST

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Trump: "I can create peace with tariffs. I'm using them for a lot of different reasons. If that power was taken away, it would be a terrible terrible day for our country. I would say many of the things I've done could be eradicated ... these are enemies of the country that are pursuing that lawsuit"
