Every single MAGA tech guy that I know believes very strongly that you can find great meaning in front of a computer screen. I guess they're just going to ignore this.

2026 is already off to a volatile start, but @djtalkstrash.bsky.social and his guest @lons.bsky.social do their best to try and figure out what's ahead for the rest of the year anyway, from Netflix/WB to AI, the US invading itself and other countries, and more!

Time to get real. These guys are not scared of the administration or bad at their jobs... They are complicit.
"It’s hard to be an opposition party when you refuse to oppose the blatantly illegal and immoral things being done by the opposition."
Schumer, Jeffries Refuse to Join Democrats' Growing Calls to Slash ICE Spending
The killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent sparks outrage as Democrats debate funding for the agency. Should they use their power to rein in ICE's violence? Progressive lawmakers demand action, but top Democrats seem hesitant. Is it time for a change in leadership to hold ICE accountable? #ReinInICE #EndViolence

These guys are unhinged and leading us to a very dark, scary place and it's becoming increasingly obvious to anyone who has read some books.

You would think they'd be absolutely desperate to avoid this situation purely on pragmatic, self-interested grounds. xAI is valued at $200 billion. This is no way to build a global brand, doofuses.
This does seem just a little bit bad! Idk the sort of thing you’d think politicians might distance themselves from or something!

This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
