Interestingly, the Epstein files bill allows for the withholding of files on people involved in ongoing investigations. Since Trump told Bondi to investigate democrats in the files, does that mean only republicans named in the files will be released?

If there is a draft, but you have bone spurs, you should just tough it out. That’s what you’re going to have to do.

@caseynewton.bsky.social Hard Fork should do an AI Cooking segment where people send in recipes and pictures of dishes they made with AI and have Pete on to judge it.

I remember a lot of hand ringing by the business class liberals about Harris’s wealth tax idea. The anger and frustration about the idea of the rich having to pay 2% of their wealth. Seems likely those people would have been better off paying the 2% than the 10% the trump economy has required.

i think it is very cool that the political press was basically uninterested in the fact that vance is openly adjacent to/pals around with far-right and Nazi-sympathetic maniacs
To those asking, here's Vance's comments.
When news broke that the terrorist in Germany was a Saudi immigrant, Vance implied blame on all immigrants/Muslims.
When it came out that the attacker was an Elon Musk fan, AfD supporter, and anti-Islam, Vance defended AfD.
He's said nothing else about it.

Every time I watch Hard Fork, I can’t help but notice @caseynewton.bsky.social ‘s hands. Those things are powerful, expressive. The kind of hands Donald Trump wishes he had.
