i hope someone is posted up outside his residence 24/7 blowing a whistle until the tribunals start
i wish mr. bovino an unremarkable retirement right up until inauguration day 2029, which is when i hope the tribunals start
BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

recognizing how carefully worded all these tweets and statements are to imply that the official is actually fine with the status quo if dhs and ice would just stop attracting so much attention just settle down ice and we can all get back to the eggs

national strike now
A national general strike is needed not just to protest the violence, but to acknowledge the absurdity that we’re all just supposed to carry on with our stupid little daily lives amidst the ambient terrorism of an unchecked state militia executing innocent people in the streets of our country.

for someone who lives in alberta, you sure don’t seem to have a good grasp of geography and population density. you can get from calgary to minnesota faster than most americans could from where they live.
USA, why are you not getting everyone who is physically able over to Minneapolis?
Citizens of the USA are responsible for this. They are responsible for stopping this.
Get your goddamned shit together and start fighting back.
Oh, sorry I forgot. Football is on. 🙄

if my years of fantasy novels and media have taught me anything, it’s that you NEVER make a wish with a genie. doesn’t matter how cool it is to have a genie. no wishes. none. nada. you will regret it.

mark kelly texts me more than my own mother.
i'm not really thrilled about the idea of another senator president but i'd reluctantly take kelly over newsom
This is exactly what candidates with large fundraising machines should do!
Mark Kelly has been using the target Trump painted on him to fundraise and send $5m to competitive races, party committees, and state parties in 2025

maybe at the larger chains and corporate restaurants, but as a veteran hospitalitarian, i cannot explain to you the unending reams of paper and precious time spent reprinting menus every time there’s a change made or a typo. a digital menu is so much easier to keep updated.

this definitely won’t happen. if by some miracle it does, they’ll all be remote operated from overseas.
Tesla will probably sell its Optimus robots to the public by the end of next year, according to Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk, who’s said the carmaker’s fortunes will be increasingly dependent on humanoid machines.

didn’t realize there was a quoted post at first and thought this was a louvre-worthy rant about ken jennings and jeopardy
Jennings is a moral monster who clearly has no center. I’m glad Kasky didn’t put up with it, but there’s really no point in going on this show or any show where you know he’ll be.
He’s just a liar and, frankly, a bully and a bigot.

microsoft to collect royalties from all documents produced in word.
OpenAI has absolutely zero ideas. They have no business. This is not a real business line and it’s so utterly vague and specious, I’m shocked at the credulousness to just print it without saying “there is no logical way this works of course” or talking about how the CFO of OpenAI is saying nonsense

i don’t know who dropped the ball but it definitely wasn’t that tariff guy who tanked things
I usually try to eschew elitism in all forms, but enough is enough. These people are dumb fucking yokels. They live in a completely different reality than I do, and I don’t want to share a country with them any longer.

this didn’t need to be studied again. it was common knowledge.
“Foreign exporters absorbed only 4% of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.
“Rather than acting as a tax on foreign producers, the tariffs functioned as a consumption tax on Americans.”

Bluesky: 149 likes, 45 shares
To be clear, I have 60k followers on Twitter, 15k on Bluesky, but only 7k on Threads.
I love Bluesky, but this isn't sustainable.
