Truly astonishing that the world’s least sustainable business model has stopped sustaining
it seems Strategy, whose business model was "buy Bitcoin" and whose market cap was somehow larger than the value of its stock of bitcoin, is now collapsing. inconceivable www.ft.com/content/5347...

Remember when the President unilaterally destroyed the East Wing of the White House? That was only a month ago.

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

Important and timely work by health law extraordinaire @jennoliva.bsky.social featured on @pbsnews.org — discussing the AI battle between private insurers (who use AI to deny claims) & patients (who use new AI tools to draft effective appeals on those denials) . 🔥🔥🔥 www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

In one day Trump gushes over Mamdani, MTG plans to quit, and the Pope throws a rave. I am very, very suspicious of this time line now.

No, he isn’t. There is literally no legal means by which he can do this. It’s not presidential power. TPS by law cannot be terminated early, and Somali TPS is not set to expire until March 17, 2026.
Trump says he’s ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali refugees in Minnesota “immediately.”

there is an INCREDIBLE screenplay in this story
I once got almost exactly that very mixtape (REM, Gabriel, Indigos, Lennox, McLachlan, etc) from my gf in 1998. I was over the moon.

An unimaginable atrocity.

Oh thank GOD

Some Internet pirate ripped @mattczap.bsky.social's AMAZING animated version of Badger's "Star Trek" spec script from "Breaking Bad"

We commissioned this at Vulture in 2013, right when I started there as the video chief, but the original was lost in a server migration
