jesteinf in all the places. Food, politics, sports, nonsense. Coming to you from San Francisco, the greatest dystopian hellscape there is. Mysterious and important.

We are at an airport restaurant. A robot just drove up to us with our food, said, "Hi! Here I am!" and then drove away with our food.

Excited to send this as a reply the next time one of his companies sends me a recruiting email.
Elon Musk makes it clear he wants to ERASE all who aren't of his approved backgrounds including Blacks, Latinos, Jews, Arabs, Asians, Italians and all others who are not English, Scottish or Irish. Musk wants to import his beloved South Africa apartheid to the US. He can go F**k himself!

FDR’s fireside chats? Total waste of time apparently.
A critique I hear of me sometimes is that I don’t believe in changing public opinion.

What I would say is that I don’t really think *working politicians* should be focused on changing opinion, that’s the job for everyone else — go out and persuade someone!

Love “Vodka Tonic” in scare quotes, or like it’s an item on a Thomas Keller tasting menu.
In a nearly 500 word rant, President Trump goes after Bill Maher.

1. The dinner he references included Kid Rock and Dana White.

2. He ends it with “thank you for your attention to this minor matter.”

As I've spent the better part of the day explaining why I don't think Newsom should be the Democratic nominee for president, it pains me to "defend" this, but...

The governor of California is legally obligated to proclaim each Feb 6 Reagan Day per a 2010 state law.

Uh oh...he's in for a scolding on Josh Barro's podcast.
James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

All of these people are just incredibly shitty and would be unemployable if they worked at actual jobs.
“.. Noem and Lewandowski frequently berate senior level staff, give polygraph tests to employees they don’t trust and have fired employees—in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem’s blanket was left behind on a plane ..”

Huh, wonder what happens when humans inhale CO2.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

Mueller-she-wrote is basically a high class AltNationalParkService account. People should really just ignore her at this point.
Bluesky in a nutshell.

Some context: BLS released its jobs numbers today, which were better than expected, and resistance libs would rather stay mad/conspiratorial than listen to actual on-the-ground experts that the data is still reliable.

Megyn Kelly: Bad Bunny performing his Super Bowl halftime show in Spanish was “a middle finger to the rest of America”

Most watched halftime show in history. Universally positive reviews from non-freaks. But Republicans, like that party of small government that they are, think there needs to be an investigation.
Rep. Ogles requests “that the Energy and Commerce Committee launch a formal congressional inquiry into the National Football League and NBC” concerning the halftime show, which he thinks was indecent and sexual and gay and whatnot.
