in nature if a monkey hoarded 1 trillion bananas the other monkeys would beat that monkey to death and take his bananas

🎯🎯🎯 * It's also one of the biggest thefts in human history, because SpaceX (bailed out many times by Taxpayers) and Blue Origin (Bezos) were given Taxpayers' funded NASA space tech-patents, worth tens of trillions, free of charge. There were no agreement for ROIs (return on investments) or patent royalty fees. Also, guess what, almost bankrupt Tesla is gonna start making Moon Rovers, and will get bailed out again, by being merged into SpaceX, and getting fat government contracts. Understand The Grift, Understand The Theft. Folks, we elected these people that are robbing us blind and destroying our country...🤡🤦‍♂️🤡

Apropos of Exile On Main Street, I’ve always found it funny that Mick felt driven to make an artistic statement in support of Angela Davis, (something arguably more radical than anything Lennon did) and what he came up with was called “Sweet Black Angel” and featured fake patois

people online have zero clue what’s going on here 9 times out of 10, the guy’s name is like Chip Walker IV, he’s vaguely related to the Bushes, and you can’t buy a Toyota in the tri-state area unless it’s from one of his dad’s dealerships it’s a partial invalidation of redpill / manosphere content bc usually the guy isn’t traditionally attractive (gained 30 pounds freshman year, has a beer belly from being a frat star, etc.) but it’s not a total invalidation because ultimately the guy’s family is loaded (also yes these guys tend to be nice and fun and gregarious and kind and good friends too) also, people on X are so used to people with money looking like finance guys (suit and tie, Patrick Bateman, NYC) or tech bros (hoodie, etc.) that they don’t realize these SEC guys are often from loaded old southern money families

We need a reality dating show called "Average SEC Couples" that's just 15 Average Joe's from the South wooing 15 gorgeous women with generational wealth.

I'd love to introduce "based" Mike Lee to the concept of liberalism, a battle-tested guarantor of the interests of minority faith groups, as an alternative to pleading with the sectarian plurality to let him into the in-group.

Rent. Not housing policy. Not the abstraction. Rent. The check that goes out the first of every month before the food, before the medicine, before the gas, before the kid’s shoes. The check that disappears into an LLC that disappears into a holding company that disappears into a fund that sits on a server in Delaware and answers to no one. A third of this country pays rent. Most of them pay more than they can afford. They are working two jobs to send money to a man they will never meet, who lives in a city they will never visit, who has decided their apartment is worth eight percent more this year than last because the algorithm said so. That is the fix. Day one. Cap the algorithmic price-fixing the landlord cartels have been running in plain sight. End the corporate purchase of single-family homes. Tax the institutional ownership of residential property at a rate that makes it unprofitable. Use the revenue to build. Not vouchers. Build. You want to know why people are angry. You want to know why they will vote for anyone who promises to burn it down. Look at what they pay every month to live indoors. Look at what is left after. Everything else can wait a week.

@BasedMikeLee I probably should read it in the original language. Is there a Loeb equivalent edition?

@HunterBiden @PorterLandrum @chipiaje_sara Jimmy Carter had Bob Dylan and The Allman Brothers Band; Trump has Kid Rock and Ted Nugent. AND that explains EVERYTHING.

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them. That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving. You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

Hunter Biden is proof that posters are born not built. Musk will never achieve 1/10th of this guy’s ability

I’m really enjoying this

I gotta level with you folks, My dad's 1967 Corvette Stingray was a wedding gift from my grandfather. Just like Melania was a wedding gift to Trump from Jeffery Epstein

So let me get this straight. Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom. Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land. Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan. Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted. And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?” Please.

For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.

“Nothing is more central to the ruse of Trumpism than making his followers believe he is somehow virile, and in command, on the world stage. He is not. He is a bumbling, almost-octogenarian drug addict who was so unmanageable in his reality TV show days (in which I worked with his family) that his call times were always late afternoon - and even then, he cancelled much of the time. Trump simply was not functional - or all that interested in working; a trait he shares with his children. They showed up on the ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ finale tapings as if they were some sort of royal family descending from their penthouse perches to mingle with the commoners for a few hours. Don Jr. was a notoriously bad drunk who was semi-dry for a while, before slipping in to the obviously coked-out years of his father’s two presidential terms. Working has never really entered his mind. Junior has fleeced the MAGA faithful for years, along with his old man - before now focusing his greedy, beady eyes on the American taxpayer and no-bid Pentagon contracts. We learned this week that the White House, courtesy of Peter Navarro, intervened on behalf of a $620 million Pentagon loan to a mining company, Vulcan Elements, that Don Jr.’s venture capital firm, 1789 Capital, took a stake in just three months earlier. Besides the fast-tracked loan, the company also received $50 million in Commerce Department incentives. Don Jr.’s firm’s assets under management has grown from $200 million to $3.5 billion in a year. He refers to this success as ‘Patriotic Capitalism’, but most folks would call it what it is, corruption and graft in plain sight. The staggering AUM adds to the long list of handouts and kickbacks he and his brother Eric have amassed in recent months by helping themselves to U.S. Defense Department contracts, and trading on their father’s presidency for private, for-profit Trump Organization development deals across the world. Lest we forget, much of their old man’s last campaign was based around Hunter Biden’s laptop and the fact he had sold a few oil paintings. Basically, the difference between panhandling outside on the sidewalk or walking in and robbing the bank. The MAGA faithful bought the ‘Biden Crime Family’ BS lock, stock and barrel because they were told to - by the culture that reinforces the Trump clan’s grifting and by the sleight-of-hand Donald employs with his constant demonization of Democrats and his endless dancing in front of flags.”open.substack.com/pub/noelcasler…

For your consideration, Fallout — Outstanding Drama Series

@HipMrBully That brownstone should be some rich kids lair. That street never recovered from the Mainstreet revamp. But also it was never as lovely as one imagines. Little jewelry shops, Sam Wellers, but also a porn theater around the corner and seedy bars.

Can't raise minimum wage because it will kill jobs. Can't raise taxes on the bourgeoisie class because it will kill jobs. Can't ditch oil because it will kill jobs. But when these companies replace 50% of their workforce with AI, it's "sorry, that's just the way it goes."

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed. Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.
