How I found the Hidden #Ottez, a thread: I had planned on working out and doing yoga this morning but that went out the window when I saw the post from @OTTEZnft about there being a secret in the #OttezEvolution collection.

From the mosaic traditions of Rome and the Ottoman Empire to modern hands… This tiny iridescent masterpiece is art at its finest.

@mattvanswol Not.....the middle finger!

🚨HOLY CRAP!!!! A woman at the No Kings protest in Nashville just FLIPPED OFF A MILITARY HELICOPTER that flew overhead... I don't care what side of the isle you are on, if you are flipping the bird to our troops, YOU are the bad guy here. Completely disgusting behavior...

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

@ConanOBrien Beautiful couple!

Thanks to my funny and beautiful wife, Liza, for tolerating months of 2 am Oscar pitches.

The top 10% now account for almost half of all consumer spending. That’s not what you want to see.

Donald Trump attended one dignified transfer in a campaign merch hat, turned the photo into a fundraising email, and then skipped the next one entirely. While Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, 26, was coming home in a flag-draped coffin at Dover… Trump was at his f’ng golf club. But tell me again how much he “loves our troops” won’t you?

I worked at Epic Games for two years. This is real, and the strategy behind it is smarter than most people realize. Tim Sweeney has spent nearly two decades buying North Carolina forest land. 50,000+ acres across 15 counties. He’s now one of the largest private landowners in the state. The purchases started in 2008, right after the real estate collapse wiped out developers who had been planning golf resorts and luxury communities on biodiverse wilderness. Sweeney paid $15 million for Box Creek Wilderness, a 7,000-acre stretch in the Blue Ridge foothills containing 130+ rare and threatened species. Developers had owned 5,000 of those acres before the crash. He bought them for conservation prices when nobody else was bidding. He runs the acquisitions through an LLC called “130 of Chatham.” He buys the land, holds it for years, then either donates it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sells it at a discount to state parks, or hands it to land trusts. In 2021, he donated 7,500 acres in the Roan Highlands to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy. Largest private land donation in North Carolina history. The part people miss: he told the News & Observer that since 2021, land got too expensive to keep buying. So he shifted focus to converting his existing 50,000 acres into permanent conservation status. He’s locking the land into legal structures that make development impossible regardless of who owns it in the future. A billionaire worth roughly $6 billion is spending tens of millions acquiring wilderness specifically during economic downturns, then giving it away or placing it under permanent legal protection. The land will outlast him, Epic Games, and Fortnite. That’s the part that separates Sweeney from billionaires who write checks to get their name on a building. The building depreciates. The forest compounds.

Exactly how many days in a row can Donald Trump declare victory in Iran before you braindead MAGA motherfuckers finally realize that he's lying to you? Seriously, give me a number

@FoxNews Is that what you call that?

HE'S BACK: President Trump waves and pumps his fist three times as he returns to the White House.

How much Trump Coin do you have to hold to dodge the draft?

@USDOL You can't just say things and it becomes true

That Friday feeling when wages are going up and prices are coming down for American workers 💸🇺🇸

Trump basically just said the United States annihilated Iran in 1/5th the time the military originally thought it would take. America has assembled the greatest military in human history 🇺🇸

I don’t know how many Muslims are in this guy’s district. I know there are tens of thousands in mine. They are parents. Entrepreneurs. Police officers. The firefighter-paramedic giving CPR to save your life. They are us. They are American. This tweet is NOT American.

Sometimes, people intentionally fail to understand things because understanding them would cause them to question their worldview.

Vance: " If you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Donald Trump."

Someone’s grandparents are gonna see this on Facebook and flip their shit.

Latest script just dropped: “Short-term pain for long-term gain”

@WhiteHouse This is disgusting

Touchdown

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.
