If only there was a name for the kind of regime in which the leader's personal army of thugs executes civilians in the streets... Wish we had some way to describe that form of government...

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.
JD Vance: "To our fellow Americans we say, you're never gonna find great meaning in a cubicle or in front of a computer screen. But you will find great meaning if you dedicate yourself to the creation and sustenance of human life."

People are like "It's our first look at Lobo!" but he was pretty much already playing this guy in FAST X, just without the make-up.

"Everyone is doing an incredible job except all those guys you've seen on video doing a terrible job. But seriously, trust me, everyone else not on video is the best."
JD Vance in Minneapolis: "The guys behind me are doing an incredible job, and frankly, a lot of the media is lying about the job they do every single day. That doesn't mean that there aren't occasionally stories and videos out there that suggest they aren't doing everything right."

I don't know who needs to hear this but a court just ruled that it's not a police officer's job to protect you.

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!

Wow, that is very racist.
Trump: "Somalia -- they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought. I always say, 'These are low IQ people.' How did they go into Minnesota and steal all that money?"

You can tell she's a visionary, inspiring leader because her first impulse is always "blame my colleagues and throw them under the bus."

Time to get real. These guys are not scared of the administration or bad at their jobs... They are complicit.

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!

They are hiding... SOMETHING.

Just say it, Chuck. We all know what they're hiding. This is not a 6-part Peacock crime drama. There's not gonna be a twist ending.
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.

The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents.

They are hiding something.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
