It costs about $9 billion per month to fund SNAP benefits

That $40 billion for Argentina would feed 42 million Americans for nearly 4 1/2 months

The $75 billion for ICE would cover the other 8 months

But Trump is more interested in helping dictators and terrorizing immigrants

Oh-and the ballroom

Ok then.

"Enter Erika Kirk, who leads the non-profit Turning Point USA and is the widow of Charlie Kirk," Greenfield continued. "What if Comcast agreed to bring Kirk in as Editor-in-Chief of the combined news unit upon closing? Sure, at first blush it sounds crazy, but Trump loves a deal, and
Brian Roberts needs to think big and differently."

When you Google BIG analyst Rich Greenfield, one of the first hits is a 2016 column from the Hollywood Reporter, tarring him as "Often Quotec
… and Often Wrong." Greenfield is okay with having haters in Hollywood and much of the big- media landscape. As a vocal critic of some of the biggest names in the
movie and TV business, and a booster of disruptive new tech companies,
he's used to it.

NHC 5 pm Melissa update for Jamaica:

"Remain in your safe shelter and do not venture outside."

Winds "may cause total structural failure."

Wind speeds are now at *175 mph*.

1. Jamaica: Remain in your safe shelter and do not venture outside. Catastrophic, life-threatening flash flooding and numerous landslides are expected through Tuesday. The eyewall's destructive winds may cause total structural failure, particularly in higher elevations, leading to widespread infrastructural damage, prolonged power and communication outages, and isolated communities. Along the southern coast, life-threatening storm surge and damaging waves are anticipated through Tuesday.

NHC map focused on Jamaica. Hurricane Melissa is just to the south, tracking to cross the island and then Cuba and the Bahamas.

Exxon says it can't reveal how much pollution it makes because doing so would force it to “serve as a mouthpiece for ideas with which it disagrees.”

Which is just the "homework is against my religion" excuse, if the student saying it killed 8 million people a year.

omg this is brutal. and so spot on.

Great read from @vermontgmg.bsky.social:

www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-hiri...

But it turns out, if you’re hiring for a pariah agency using nakedly fascist and racist messaging and recruiting for a job where you get to be jeered by your neighbors and are so hated that you literally refuse to show your face, and trying to attract people who will get excited to cos-play as a Navy SEAL in full tactical gear to dress up like you’re taking Fallujah while facing down people in inflatable frog costumes and wrestling to the ground hard-working roofers in the Home Depot parking lot, America’s best, brightest, and most fit don’t apply.

"he favors weightlifting and strength training" (X) doubt

Musk put an aside in his own online encyclopedia about how he supposedly lost 20 pounds

Grokipedia

Musk maintains a demanding schedule, typically sleeping six hours per night, going to bed between 1 and 3 a.m. and waking around 9 a.m., a pattern he adjusted from longer workdays to prioritize recovery while managing multiple companies.[234] His diet includes occasional indulgences like morning donuts and multiple Diet Cokes daily, supplemented by intermittent fasting that contributed to a reported 20-pound weight loss, though he avoids eating or drinking alcohol two to three hours before bed to optimize sleep.[235] Exercise-wise, he favors weightlifting and strength training over cardio like running, which he dislikes, aiming for consistency to sustain energy amid 80-100-hour workweeks that often extend into weekends.

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.

Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8

AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All

I talked to the scholars who literally wrote the book on tech bubbles—and applied their test.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.

And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.

But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

I am thinking of the people of Jamaica, and the many New Yorkers with loved ones there, as Hurricane Melissa — fueled by a warming ocean — grows into the strongest storm ever to bear down upon the island.

As the Atlantic Ocean warms, climate change is fueling Hurricane Melissa's ferocity

Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm due to warming oceans linked to climate change.
