If you live in LA and don’t vote for Spencer Pratt, you are retarded.

@RollingStone vote spencer pratt and steve hilton

Spencer Pratt is the same as he ever was — from 'The Hills' to healing crystals to his turn as MAGA’s darling candidate for mayor of Los Angeles. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

@GlobalBoxOffice movie was fucking garbage. dont waste money. wait till it's free to stream then you will only be angry you wasted your time but at least not your money

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU surpassed the $165M mark at the global box office on a $165M budget. Domestically, the new Star Wars movie hit $102M over its 4-day opening, surpassing industry early projections.

@LayoffAI false. ceo on the mark. he is hiring but both the measures. so ai did make it more efficient. because all those measurer jobs were slops any ways who did not produce anything valuable for the company

CLOUDFLARE CEO EXPLAINS HOW HE CHOSE WHICH EMPLOYEES TO LAY OFF DUE TO AI This man just laid off 1,100 people during Cloudflare's best quarter in company history. $639.8 million in revenue. 34% growth. Record free cash flow. He then wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed explaining how he decided which employees to replace with AI. His framework: every company has 1) builders (engineers) 2) sellers (salespeople) 3) measurers (middle managers, operations, HR, finance, analytics) According to him: AI replaces the measurers. He admitted he could not find a single example in U.S. business history of a public company growing at 30%+ that simultaneously cut 20%+ of its workforce. So he made himself the first. The stock dropped 24% before rebounding steadily the past two weeks. Nearly 1 million people applied for 1,111 Cloudflare internships. He cited that as a sign of opportunity. Read that ratio again. That is 900 rejections for every single acceptance. So, I wonder: if AI truly made your employees more productive, wouldn't the rational move be to keep them and capture more output? You only cut if this is about margins. Not transformation. Margins. Cloudflare has over a dozen roles open in India on LinkedIn, and has filed for 251 H-1B employees in the past 24 months.

@Polymarket good! force them to actually try to make good movies and not dei slop

JUST IN: “The Mandalorian & Grogu” opens with the lowest box office debut of any Disney Star Wars movie.

@LeadingReport haha gtfo. and whales walk on two feet on land at night

Kamala Harris leads JD Vance in new 2028 presidential poll, per TPSI. Kamala Harris: 47% JD Vance: 39%

@GovPressOffice lol some petty ass fucking comments from the governor of California. lmfao

Californians, if you’re hitting the road this holiday weekend, be sure to AVOID Chevron. Pro tip: unbranded gas comes from the same refineries, storage tanks, and pipelines, and it meets the same state standards to keep your engine running clean, even if it doesn’t have a fancy name like ‘Techron.’  Big Oil is already making billions off Trump’s Iran War; don’t let them rip you off even more by overpaying for the brand name.

@themarketear @zerohedge short term inflationary, long term deflationary...isnt that obvious?

What if AI is inflationary, not disinflationary? zerohedge.com/the-market-ear…

@zerohedge idle GPUs are more expensive than fronting to build out infrastructure at accelerated deployments amd asset control, tax economics, etc. elon is genius for this

Soon every hyperscaler will be forced to do the same.

@Barchart paying lawsuits?

BREAKING 🚨: Ethereum Harvard dumps entire $ETH position worth $87 Million 🤯👀

@Barchart your looking at this wrong. ai replace upper and middle management. the highest salary jobs with the last productivity. ai will be transformative in corporate world. it may be too expensive to replace lower value workers with robots, but downsizing management is revolution

@bscholl @zerohedge @JeffBezos @elonmusk seems the solution from both your viewpoints is that only legal citizens should vote & only legal citizens that to benefit from government handouts. in that case strong immigration standards, oversight on governement payouts. trumps doing it

@JeffBezos @elonmusk If half the people don’t pay any tax, then we have 50% of the population with votes and no stake in how government is run. And they can simply vote themselves ever greater handouts at the expense of more productive people. This would not end well for America.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

@zerohedge @noalpha_allbeta @tmaxftw mortgage delinquincies are the real signal...we still have plenty of time

@CAgovernor @baby2baby Californians truly despise your politics

California is partnering with @Baby2Baby to provide free diapers to newborns across the state. The Golden State Start program — a first-in-the-nation initiative — will provide 400 free diapers to every newborn in the state, rolling out in hospitals this summer.

@abc7newsbayarea instead of lowering taxes so families can afford products. they will use our taxes to pay marked up products to busniess they push their grifting through...stop voting democrats. improve quality of life

California families welcoming newborns will soon receive hundreds of free diapers before leaving the hospital under a first-in-the-nation program Gov. Newsom is announcing Friday in San Francisco. In the program’s first year, it will be offered at about 65 to 75 hospitals that handle about a quarter of births in the state and largely serve low-income patients, but it will then expand. abc7news.com/19064053/

I am the Chairman and CEO of Vornado Realty Trust. Eighty-four years old. Seven buildings in Midtown Manhattan. I said what I said. I said "tax the rich" is the equivalent of a racial slur. I said it at REBNY. Into the microphone. Eight hundred people. Median net worth in that room was north of $240 million, I know because our CFO ran the guest list through a Bloomberg terminal as a joke, and then it wasn't a joke. And when I said it, twelve people applauded. The rest nodded. One woman in the third row mouthed, "Finally." I saw her. Sharon, my communications advisor, Columbia, $430,000 a year, very bright, Sharon wants me to walk it back. She drafted something. "Mr. Roth's comments were intended to highlight the emotional impact of political rhetoric on business communities." I read it. I put it in the trash can on my desk. Not the recycling. The trash. Here's my clarification: I understated it. "Tax the rich" is worse than a slur. A slur is just a word. It doesn't come with a CBO score. Nobody is introducing a bill called the Racial Slur Implementation Act of 2026. But there are seventeen active proposals in Congress, I had Sharon count them, seventeen proposals designed to take more of my money. My money. Mine. Money I acquired by being better at acquiring Manhattan commercial real estate than anyone alive for four consecutive decades. That is not a crime. That is a record. I pay property taxes on $18.2 billion in assessed assets. $412 million a year. Say it again: four hundred and twelve million. I carry that number. It's the first thing I think about when I see a protest sign. I think: I pay more in property tax than the entire annual budget of the city of Fort Lauderdale. I looked this up. Fort Lauderdale: $408 million. Steve Roth: $412 million. I am a small city. And the city doesn't get screamed at. My effective tax rate last year was 11.4 percent. I say this because I believe in transparency and because I'm not ashamed of it. The rate reflects the legal structure of real estate investment trusts, depreciation schedules Congress established in 1986, and carried interest provisions that both parties have voted to preserve for forty years. I did not write these laws. I organized my entire financial existence around them with the help of nine full-time tax professionals who have offices on the 38th floor of 888 Seventh Avenue, which I also own. Their office is in my building. Their work protects my buildings. This is not a loophole. Sharon calls it a loophole. I've told her: a structure maintained by nine attorneys across four decades is not a loophole. A loophole is something you slip through once. This is architecture. This is the foundation. This is the building. Last Tuesday, same as every Tuesday, I walked past 1290 Sixth Avenue. My building. And there was a man. Same man as last week. Same sign: "Billionaires Pay Your Fair Share." He was standing on my sidewalk. My literal sidewalk — my company owns the ground lease. He was maybe thirty. He was wearing a jacket I would estimate cost $60. My lunch that day was $114. For one. I am telling you this not to boast but because these are facts. He has decided I'm his enemy. Based on a number he saw on a Forbes list. He doesn't know what I pay. He doesn't know what my buildings cost this city in construction jobs and lease revenue and foot traffic. He knows one number. He has made one judgment. I see him every Tuesday. I've started to notice things. He brings coffee from the cart, not the Starbucks. He has a backpack that looks heavy. He doesn't look unhealthy. He looks like he probably works somewhere, but not on Tuesdays. I've wondered: does he have a job? Does he have a building? Does he have anything that depends on him the way 4,200 employees depend on me? I suspect not. And yet he has opinions about my tax rate. I gave $22 million to charity last year. The Met. NYU Langone. Mount Sinai. I gave a building to NYU. Not money for a building — a building. The Steven Roth Residence Hall. It houses 400 students. That man with the sign has never housed 400 students. He hasn't housed one. He gives cardboard. I give structures. This is not a comparison I'm making to flatter myself. It's just arithmetic. When I said what I said at REBNY, I was saying what every person in that room believes and none of them will say publicly because they have communications advisors and the communications advisors all went to Columbia and they all say "unhelpful." I'm eighty-four. I'm too old for helpful. I'm too old to perform restraint for people who hate me for something I can't change. I didn't choose to be rich. I chose to be good at one thing for a very long time, and this is what happened. You don't punish someone for that. You don't legislate against someone for that. My net worth fluctuates between $3.8 and $4.1 billion depending on the quarter. I fluctuate more in a fiscal week than that man on my sidewalk will earn in his life. Both of these are facts. Only one of them is considered polite to say. They want me to apologize. I'll be dead in ten years. Twenty if I'm lucky. And they'll still be renting my buildings.
