@MikeNellis Also Lutnick and that smarmy guy who said that America’s economy was supercharged because of all the new credit card debt.

Scott Bessent is pretty much the worst possible surrogate for the Trump administration on the economy—smug, arrogant, and looks like he's laying off your dad from his factory job.
Please put him on TV every day.
English
@LDS_Dems Romney is the finger-in-the-wind guy who told what he thought was a private audience that nearly half the country were takers. Don't be BS'd by public statements. Romney has no idea what 'the right thing' is. Only what his polls tell him.
English
I will always have a special place in my heart for Mitt Romney.
Our failure to elect him in 2012 set off the domino effect that is destroying everything today.
Even though I disagree with him on policy, I could have counted on him to do the right thing.
McKay Coppins@mckaycoppins
Mitt Romney to Harvard Business School graduates: "There's more to a country than its economy. To be a great nation, it must also be a good nation. The world needs good men. It needs good women. Good leaders. Good parents raising good children. There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people."

Real estate people: what is it with houses that are wildly overpriced for the market?
This one isn’t even on a particularly charming street and is on a postage stamp lot.
Testing the market? Trying to make back reno costs? Just crazy?
English
@mikenelson586 The acts were booked until nearly all of them were surprised to find out what the event was.
They don't talk to the bands directly. It's all done through concert and artist management. Not surprisingly, there was a great deal of gaslighting on the part of the Trump people.
English
How do you announce a concert line up without having checked with the acts?

Morris Day and The Time: “Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at The Great American State Fair.”

@nicksnominees This may be all Probst but I doubt it. Burnett is the one who has been making Bible-based miniseries the last few years. I hear there are 10 things in there somewhere that Survivor contestants regularly break. Don't know, seems possible. Burnett is the top of the show food chain.
English
what a loser, first discrediting parvati’s second win and then this like he has ZERO respect for what this show is and only wants to do his fucked up mario party

Jeff Probst says villains like Sandra and Tony are a thing of the past and they aren’t casting those types anymore. Jeff says “We aren’t looking for a**holes to play Survivor” #survivor

@DrewSav Your bandwidth would be better spent writing about stuff you like. But, I engaged which is 100% the point. Anyway, no one gives an eff about what you don't like. Never has, never will.
English
I'm not a Billy Joel fan. Never got into his music. I don't care for Bruce Springsteen either.
English
@realDrTT As bad as that was, it was purportedly over honor. There's nothing honorable about any of this.
English
Are you kidding bro? These guys used to literally shoot each other on the regular. Remember Alexander Hamilton?

I'm sure our Founding Fathers would be very proud to know our president celebrated the 250th birthday of our nation with - (checks notes) - a cage fight on the White House's lawn. Someday people will look back and shake their heads asking "what happened to the US back then?"
English
@mass_ave Recent history makes it difficult to be proud of where the country is after 250 years. In 1976 people of all sorts of political views could be seen as patriotic. Now? If you're not MAGA, you're an enemy of the people. Who, other than MAGA, wants to celebrate that?
English
Those who were around fifty years ago, do you remember all the lead up to the 200th 4th of July that’s just not happening now? TV had historical PSA’s like “200 Years Ago” and Bicentennial Minute” Barns, businesses, and fire hydrants were painted red white and blue? Now? Nothing.
English
@CeoOfSurvivor47 I suspect—and only suspect because I don't know—that Probst is reflecting some data about who watches Survivor and why; who turns off Survivor and why. Hate me if you want but in this political moment, lying, back stabbing, betrayal might not be what people want to see on TV.
English
Jeff’s weird hatred for villains and this dig at Sandra is so weird considered that the most popular and beloved season of survivor is LITERALLY called heroes vs VILLAINS! And guess who dominated the season and were fan favorites, the VILLAINS. Just out of touch and fascist

@ITalk21 There has been a quiet rumble about used book stores for decades. Some proposals to pay a percentage of the price to authors on resale. No one has figured out a way to do that in a practical way.
English
@RadioFreeTom Bread and circuses everyone. Bread and circuses.
English
@MariahBerendt @TheBigBroTea Probst is an executive producer and show runner on the ground. Probably no one higher in the Survivor food chain except for Burnett.
English
@TheBigBroTea God I hope someone on the production team is reading these comments

@TheBookNewb Whatever is most convenient and comfortable for you. As long as you're reading it's all good. This stupid take for engagement which I see once a week is going to get a mute/block from now on. There zero need to divide readers up like this.
English
@SteveNomadic Let him try. It will be in court the first day it's out. It will never pass the House/Senate if they go the "make a law" route. That's too far for even Trump.
English
If they did this, I’m guessing many Foriegn countries would revoke traffic rights to US carriers almost immediately. Likely both cargo and pax. With fuel costs where they are, just imagine what that would do to the “Big 3” + FedEx/UPS. 🙄 the level of incompetence in the US govt is stunning - but yeah please do this. Let’s see what happens 🤷🏻♂️

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says he is drawing up plans to stop international flights from landing in Democrat-run “sanctuary cities” just two weeks before the World Cup. thedailybeast.com/ice-barbie-noe…

@yonann That depends on what sort of functionality you use and need.

Kevin O'Leary says Apple's genius is making people pay 5x more for a laptop they could buy for $350
"you can buy an Apple laptop, average price about $1,800, or you can buy the same functionality for $350 on a Windows laptop"
"but you still pay $1,800. Why? Brand"
"you're paying a 5x multiple in some cases for something that is exactly like a Windows machine"
"I put that out to people, they say, yeah, but it's not an Apple. So there is the genius of Jobs"
English
@FSKPart3 I can appreciate that. Those that excel in all the qualities that Americans are proud of—lies, betrayal, invasions of privacy, misogyny—should be fairly represented.
English
Called it exactly what it is. A popularity contest to see who the nicest person left standing is. The survivor I fell in love with is totally dead. The core of what made survivor the best has been completely lost.

@Kulambq Bitches Brew is fine but Kind of Blue should be on there. Certainly more deserving than the Braxton.
English
Jazz aficionados and connoisseurs, what is your view of Piero Scaruffi's list of the 20 greatest jazz albums?
I should say that my posting of this list does not imply my agreement with it. I say this because last time I posted something by him it caused an internet storm.
English
@Kulambq I would probably sub out one of the Sun Ra albums for The Stan Getz/Charlie Byrd samba album.
