OC and Stiggs 🚁

@KenGardner11 He's a paper tiger but Trump Inc made a fortune frontrunning trades.

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE...

@LizMair And Fox News ran with Hunter Biden every night for years.

Cramer probably had Intel on his “sell it all right now” list.

@unusual_whales As I scroll I'm seeing message after message from him. Maybe he thinks this is practice and no one can see them

BREAKING: Trump has said he has postponed a planned US military strike on Iran

@VP72801 He acts like this is some game with unlimited Mulligans

@serviceguynj @aakashgupta I'm on the road a lot. They still have playgrounds in Southern Illinois

@aakashgupta Smart this is what an owner of McDonald's locations should do to bring back the iconic playground

Pizza Hut corporate spent seven years killing the exact thing this guy is bringing back. And his stores are now some of the busiest in the entire chain. Tim Sparks, President of Daland Corporation, is converting 80 Pizza Hut locations to the original 1980s format. Red cups. Salad bars. Stained glass lamps. Pac-Man machines. Vinyl booths. His first job was as a Pizza Hut dishwasher. The Classics are massively outperforming standard Pizza Huts. Customers drive two to three hours to eat there. A single Facebook post about one Classic location in Pennsylvania got 7,500 shares and broke onto TikTok overnight. Meanwhile, corporate is doing the exact opposite. 250 store closures planned for first half of 2026. "Red Roof" dine-in franchises no longer offered to new operators. Yum Brands is considering selling the entire chain. No obvious buyer. The decline numbers are brutal. Pizza Hut held 25% of U.S. pizza market share in 1995. Today: under 14%. In 2019, half of traditional stores were still dine-in, but 90% of revenue came from off-premises orders. Corporate saw the mismatch and decided to eliminate the dine-in format entirely. Convert everything to delivery boxes. Compete with Domino's on logistics. The problem with that strategy: Domino's is a technology company that happens to sell pizza. Their competitive advantage is order tracking, delivery optimization, and franchise efficiency. When Pizza Hut stripped out the booths, the salad bar, the lamps, and the experience, they became a worse Domino's. A typical Pizza Hut location now generates 20% less revenue than the average across the other four major pizza chains. Their biggest franchisee went bankrupt in 2020 and closed 300 stores. Total sales haven't grown since 2004. Twenty-two years of stagnation. And a former dishwasher is adding salad bars and Pac-Man machines, and people are driving across state lines. The Friday night with your family in a vinyl booth under a stained glass lamp while the kids played arcade games and loaded up plates at the salad bar. That was always what Pizza Hut was selling. Corporate optimized it off the balance sheet. One franchisee who grew up inside the original version understood what the spreadsheet couldn't measure.

@ChrisBNichols5 @aakashgupta The last time I ate there the sausage was some weird ground beef around 2000. Never went back

I’m assuming he’s doing this, but if he brings back the quality & the ingredients exactly like the 90s & 00s or makes it even better than before the times, omg Pizza Hit will absolutely crush it. I can only speak about the 90s and 2000s but I noticed in the early 2010’s, the quality in the taste of Pizza Hut started declining. From 2010 to 2019 there were a good amount of Pizza Hut that shut down. Last time I had Pizza Hut was back in 2024, it was horrible. And before 2024 it was sometime in 2011.

@ob1156 @JonahDispatch Nice story comrade bot

@JonahDispatch Who cares about thatn the only reason to care is if it affects us

And they think crushing a sovereign democratic nation would be bad too, right? Right?

@GeneratorRando @JonahDispatch It's wild when you have to check the profile to see if they're far right or left.

@JonahDispatch Since you never served, you really should shut up about sending others to die for Taiwan.

The Anti-Corruption Data Collective found long-shot wagers — bets of more than $2,500 with less than 35% odds — on military outcomes won more than they lost. Researchers say it’s a telltale sign of “systemic insider-trading.” cbsn.ws/4eSRdNs

@ZydecoZebra @jaynordlinger Nice story comrade bot

@jaynordlinger Well if they want independence then being "on their own" is exactly what they have dreamed of. Glad we can make their wishes come true lol.

If you were Taiwanese, and you heard the American president talk, I believe you'd think: "We're on our own."

@gratefulmann @JoshEakle

@JoshEakle Except centrists have much more in common with the far right, from endless war to privatizing everything from healthcare to natural resources.

Briahna Joy Gray: "I know many people on the left who would happily vote for Tucker Carlson before AOC..." Your friendly reminder that the extremes of the horseshoe have more in common with each other than they do with anyone in the center.

@LizMair Didn't he take family leave during the supply chain squeeze and when needed most was MIA. He got the three 🕒 call and rolled right over

Drawing any attention to Afghanistan when you were part of the administration that oversaw the huge fuckup that was the Afghanistan withdrawal, which you should have been personally empowered to argue against but did not, is a hell of a choice.

@pat1526 @JonLemire Fox News is just more Trump fangirls. Hell half is cabinate consists of people who went on just to sing his glories

@_Me_Three @JonLemire And MS, CNN and others are running with Trump every night for years

@JohnJHarwood Remember when she was a respected journo talking about the markets? Now she's just a Maga hack

bat-sh*t crazy

@SusanK1717 @greggnunziata @grok have you heard that the Democrats are going to try and steal this election?

@_Me_Three @greggnunziata I would spend about five minutes listening to their conspiracy theories about redistricting and voting rights.

Not a shred of honor to be found

@RocCityBuilt @JonahDispatch Maga told us to abandon Ukraine and to concentrate on the real problem China

@JonahDispatch Dude, Taiwan isn’t even a country. There is a reason we don’t have an embassy there. This notion that we are supposed to militarily defend a country that doesn’t even, per US policy, exist is quite something.

This is a great example of widget guy thinking once the widget problem is fixed, everything will be fixed. Never mind the democracy erasure, let’s send him to Tokyo, Seoul, Manila, & Sydney to tell our allies that betraying Taiwan will be fine once we can make our own chips.

@SusanK1717 @greggnunziata How are they doing that? 😲

@greggnunziata It is minimally more honorable than foreshadowing a stolen election as the Dems are busy doing currently.

@gary4205 @kay_enne @mindjitsu @InnaVernikov @TylerBoliver @NYCMayor

@kay_enne @mindjitsu @InnaVernikov @TylerBoliver @NYCMayor Sticking "phobia" at the end of random words makes you look stupid and uneducated. Islam is a cancer on all of humanity. Doesn't belong in the United States, or anywhere else.

This is an ALL GIRLS Jewish school in my district. I’m all for prayer and free speech, but why do a bunch of GROWN MEN need to do this right outside of a school full of little Jewish girls??? Is not this what MOSQUES are for? Is this intentional? Mayor Mamdani @NYCMayor any words of wisdom on why all of a sudden they’d feel compelled to do this?

@Legally_Italian @bonchieredstate It's not because she's against a war Adolph

@bonchieredstate Because he has called her antisemitic for opposing a war. That you think it’s weird for people to dislike leftwing identitarian attacks in lieu of substantive debate says a lot about you.

Why would this trigger her? Weird.

A news reporter asked Michael Jordan if he thought the ’90s Bulls could beat LeBron’s Lakers. MJ: Yes. Reporter: By how much? MJ: Two or three points. Reporter: Why so close? MJ: Most of us are almost 60 now.
