"we would do anything to keep our entrepreneurial dreams alive" oh you scrappy little fraudsters you
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

One thing I don’t like about Star Wars is how every Yoda is on the Jedi council or connected to a prophecy or a beloved cultural icon, it’s time for a Yoda who works at Buffalo Wild Wings and has a 2014 Ford Focus

Here are just a few of the things the Boring Company may not have wanted to be asked about at an actual “town hall” — instead opting for a virtual audio-only Spaces event about the nashville tunnel they then immediately deleted.

Rams secondary has been one of the biggest positive surprises of the season
Sean McVay said the back end of the Rams defense as a whole is playing "really well."

Again praised assistant HC/pass game coordinator Aubrey Pleasant, safeties coach Chris Beake and defensive assistant Mike Harris for work with group.

"I'm just really, really pleased with how that's looked."

The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey.

The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

This is my kind of good trouble.
In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays
Roy Orbison's singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court.

These cases — and others like them —
will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.
