I'm working myself into a bit of a Poster's Frenzy. Going to nip that in the bud by drinking some gin and smoothing this dog.

Shit's ridiculous. In a normal world, attempting to conduct government business via Truth Social DMs alone would be an impeachable offense.

People would laugh at you so hard that you would basically never be able to get a word in.

Sometimes when I'm feeling a bit down, I think about how at least I'm not as comically inept as SoftBank.

Son Masayoshi is the greatest argument I've ever seen for just storing your money in a mattress.

SoftBank, once best known for having lots of money, is seeking a $5b margin loan (on ARM shares!) to invest in OpenAI

A generational all-in bet on AI infrastructure and we are nearing the finance equivalent of turning over couch cushions to find cash to pay for it

SoftBank in Talks for $5 Billion Margin Loan Backed by Arm Stock

SoftBank Group Corp. is in talks to borrow $5 billion from global banks, refilling its coffers at a time Masayoshi Son is accelerating the Japanese investment firm’s bets on artificial intelligence.

It's wild how completely stupid he sounds. If you ever for whatever reason thought the rich were smarter or better than you, this article will certainly cure that.

RIP to Sister Jean. Not too sad. She lived an extremely long life doing what she loved until the very end.

I'd read that. Days of Heaven is the one for me. I've never been more incensed watching a gentle pastoral drama.

I clicked on the link thinking "maybe this is getting blown out of proportion".

Then I was like, nope. They are straight up ignoring people coming to them with valid concerns.

What? I really like Springsteen. Dylan not so much. Johnny Cash, the guy who played the fucking Folsom Prison, was always way cooler than either of them.

The Wall Street Journal @wsj.com · 11h

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

Oof. This is very very bad.

The whole thread is bad. Framework is doing the "we don't do politics thing" while funneling money to a segregationist.

Selene 🏳️‍⚧️ | ⚸ @selene.euyis.me · 18h

oh CEO of framework says you should be ok with his entirely nonpolitical support of fascist software and he's just unbiased in sponsoring those who openly talk about how much they want you dead

act accordingly then

guess im holding on laptops till the copilot key fucks off from thinkpad

Framework supporting far-right racists?

I think no one posting here is trying to be convinced of anything. Omarchy is a great Linux distro. That is not a political statement, nor should it be. I am going to stop posting in this thread and ...

To me, Greg Dulli is the greatest living lyricist.

Emily, a Two-Shoes-Gooder @rebelmusicteach.bsky.social · 4d

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Dayton is a private school, so there's probably not a lot that FOIA can do regardless.
