Three men—Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk—have made my life immeasurably better. And yet they’re the bad guys. Are there billionaires who do not deserve their wealth? Sure. That’s a small price to pay for those three and the many other billionaires who enrich our lives on a less lavish scale.

Jeff Bezos: "If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving."

If there's no First Amendment, there's no America. It's the one thing that makes America indisputably American.

$22,567 per day. That’s what Perry County, TN will pay Larry Bushart for every day it kept him in jail over a Trump meme. He lost 37 days of his life and his job, and missed his anniversary and the birth of his grandchild. All for speech the First Amendment protects. Proud that @TheFIREorg helped Larry fight back and win, and even prouder that the First Amendment still has teeth.

Last year, the police jailed Larry Bushart for 37 days on a $2M bond for posting a meme after Charlie Kirk’s murder. With our help, Larry sued Perry County, TN, and its sheriff for violating his rights in retaliation for his protected speech. He has received a $835K settlement.

.@latimes this is silly, isn't it? Your own reporters have printed numerous stories about the demise of LA. This is a very silly, childish clickbait title and article. Los Angeles has become unaffordable, with crazy individuals roaming the streets, potholes and ridges popping our tires, an understaffed police force, an under-equipped fire department, a film and TV production business that is collapsing, and billions of our tax dollars just kind of getting lost in the wind. I suppose if you just moved to LA last year, you've accepted this as some "normal" state, but anyone who's lived here for more than a minute knows exactly what LA is now. It's not a "vision," just fact. Don't be silly.

"Pratt’s loudest fans fundamentally loathe modern-day L.A., and that should chill all other Angelenos," writes The Times' columnist Gustavo Arellano. Read his latest column: latimes.com/california/sto…

Nobody is telling you how FUCKED New York City's infrastructure actually is right now. Everyone is watching the flood footage. The cars underwater. The subway stations turned into swimming pools. Nobody is talking about the fact that six inches of rain just paralyzed a global city. Not a hurricane. Not a once-in-a-century storm. Six inches. In a few hours. And the Long Island Expressway shut down in both directions. The F train suspended. Flash flood warnings across every borough. By rain. → Cost of fixing this: deferred for decades → Cost of not fixing it: the entire city grinds to a halt → That is not a weather problem. That is a maintenance problem. NYC's catch-basin cleaning fleet was 63% out of service during prior storms. By end of 2023 it was 77% out of service. The city had 19 functional trucks for five boroughs. Nineteen trucks. For eight million people. 💀 Here's what nobody is explaining to you: This doesn't just change THIS storm. This changes ALL storms. Forever. → NYC has 7,400 miles of combined storm and sewer pipes that back up the moment rainfall exceeds capacity → Many of those pipes are over 100 years old — built before cars existed, let alone SUVs and modern runoff volumes → Fewer than half of the city's 964 priority catch basins were inspected before recent storms hit → This exact same thing happened in 2023. And 2025. Same expressway. Same subway lines. Same excuses. → The city knows which drains are clogged. They have a data-driven priority list. → They just don't have the trucks to clean them. → So every time it rains hard, the same streets flood, the same trains stop, the same headlines run. → And then nothing changes until the next storm proves it again. The source tweet said it directly: "Six inches of rain shouldn't do this to a major city, but clogged drains and years of deferred maintenance will." That's not a weather forecast. That's a confession. New York spent decades deferring the maintenance bill. May 21, 2026 is what the invoice looks like. Bookmark this. You're watching the biggest infrastructure failure since the last time it rained. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

In 24 hours, Mikel Arteta took Arsenal to first league in 22 years, Andoni Iraola took Bournemouth to Europe for first time ever and Unai Emery took Aston Villa to first European trophy in 44 years, first of any kind in 33 years. All born within 30 miles of each other. Gipuzkoa.

My father, Shelby Steele, with Bob Woodson in Ferguson, steps away from where Michael Brown was shot. It was a special, even historic, time for us all. He asked if he should remove his hat before the interview. I said, of course not. Rest in peace.

insane level of manipulation from @Google If you search for Pacific Palisades, they are using old map data and labeling it as 2026. If you go to the historical data, you can see the receipts
