Make-A-Wish Presidency
You hear the man: he hates it when media organizations cover this. He hates is almost or just as much as the Epstein coverage.

So lay off, news media. Leave the wonderful President with great Stamina Alone
…worth emphasizing:

1) per our sources, he’s uniquely sensitive to even implicitly being compared to “sleepy” Biden, and there’s an ongoing media deluge of coverage of this president’s decline

2) he and his people have essentially directed the government and its allies to widely and loudly…

Must be something juicy coming
Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

If you think it’s such a flex to put “ex-(former company)” in your LinkedIn bio why don’t you still work there? SMH.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Every 2026 World Cup game will pause for three minutes in the middle of each half for a “hydration break”, FIFA announced. The new measure will essentially split the match into quarters, a la basketball or American football.

It took me about 10 minutes to leave Spotify and move to … Qobuz. Almost everything about it is better. There’s a couple quirky irritating experience things and also I will never say “Qobuz” aloud. They can change the name! Also I don’t know who they are but they really care about new music.
Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:
