Imagine how difficult it would have been to do this if Trump had ever figured out how to finish that wall.
After Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected Trump’s offer to start U.S. strikes against cartels on Mexican soil...

men arrived in a boat at a beach in northeast Mexico and installed signs that say the U.S. Department of Defense is restricting access to the land

Reports @cbsnews.com
Warning signs appear on Mexican beach declaring area restricted by U.S. as Mexico rejects Trump offer to strike cartels
The signs read in English and Spanish, "Warning: Restricted Area," and had been declared restricted by "the commander."

Bailout is an exit strategy.
"Should this Al bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans."

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

I hope I never become a caricature of myself. And if I ever do. I hope people who know me will tell me.

FTR, I don't know the guy with the aggressive 70s-style moustache, Pendleton ushanka, and equal aggressive Old Spice aftershave standing at the counter in the cafe I'm at.

Matto’s ( @matthewoliphant.com ) UX show is far far underrated & undersubscribed. Definitely checkout this episode with Erin Casali (@folletto.bsky.social). #ux #design
Got to chat with @folletto.bsky.social for the 26th episode of the ux matto show.

My favorite part was Erin correcting me (correctly!) about my US-centric mentality. Noted! :)

That was an important rabbit hole to find Miriya's Veritech model designation. VF-1J if you are curious.

Made a kale velouté to go over chicken and roasted potatoes.

I didn't stem the kale as I wanted to use the whole thing so, was it a velouté? Non! But was it though? Oui!

Showed this to someone I know and they asked if it was me. Like, genuinely curious if I made it.

It might explain why I'm so burned out. My subconscious is making guest appearances without telling me.

After all these years, it still eludes me as to why Apple will not flip the image/video so that text can be read.

How much money do they have?
