@nytimes And your own writing calls him MR TRUMP! When the fuck will you people stop minimizing him? THAT'S FUCKING PRESIDENT TRUMP TO YOU ALL!

Breaking News: President Trump and members of his administration were rushed out of the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner amid reports of gunfire. Follow live updates. nyti.ms/4t6KNOo

@DarioCpx Being open is more of a vibe. You wouldn’t understand

“The Strait of Hormuz Is Open”

@atrupar Could’ve been an email

well, that was weird

@gbrew24 Nuance?! In this economy? with these oil prices? I don’t think so

The nationalization crisis, National Front political experiment, TPAJAX, and post-coup settlement are complex; it's very difficult to do them justice in a single thread. While it's not true that Mosaddeq fell through US action alone, it is equally untrue to say that the US had no hand in his removal. For more, see: uncpress.org/9781469671666/…

@LoewyLawFirm @SouthwestAir Flew sw recently and they had at least 6

@dieworkwear But derek I’m a real men. This is what real men is. I must be and do real men things. If I’m not real men what am I?

See a woman walking alone to her car? Step up quietly: • Abolish overly restrictive zoning regulations • Get rid of parking requirements • Advocate for dense, mixed-used development • Build bike lanes and sidewalks lined with trees That way, she has a walkable neighborhood.

@GenXLiberty @El_Daverino @scottbraddock You’re clearly not a serious person

@El_Daverino @scottbraddock Again, it is their money regardless of how much money you think they have or how much money you think is wealthy. Public schools have plenty of money.

Well, what do you know? *76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers. It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege

@chatgpt21 With 8 unsupervised cars, this is generating HUNDREDS, maybe even THOUSANDS of dollars per year! Nice try Waymo!

Waymo & Uber are cooked 💀 Tesla robotaxi users are reporting autonomous rides in Austin for as low as 1.49$ for a half a mile ride and 5$ for a 30 minute ride. Humans can’t compete with this.

@realJeremyCarl Get a grip dude. We’re talking about skiing down a mountain and doing neat tricks along the way.

When I was growing up in the 1980s, If an American-born-and-raised athlete had taken millions of dollars to compete for the Soviet Union in the Olympics, there would have been no question of numerous media puff-pieces like this-- the only question would be whether he/she could walk down the street safely. And we'd be planning to strip their citizenship and deport that person ASAP. Now, Eileen Gu does this for our greatest geopolitical rival (China) and the media acts like this is somehow normal. Look, I'd never, ever do it, but there are edge cases where someone who could never compete for the U.S. team competes for somewhere else where they may be eligible for citizenship. Or an athlete who might be able to compete for the U.S. competes for another country that is not OUR BIGGEST GEOPOLITICAL RIVAL. I can wrap my head around that, even if I strongly disagree with it. But this is someone born, raised and trained in America, who could have competed for America, instead choosing to take millions of $ to give honor and glory to our authoritarian rival. It's an unthinkable betrayal of our country, and the fact that so much of our media has normalized it is a sign of major decline and decadence, at least among our "elites."

@ddale8 One thing is certain - he definitely set the record for number of references to dead bodies, people bleeding out and pools of blood! Morale booster!

Early State of the Union summary from a fact-check perspective: Less lying than in a totally-off-script Trump speech, but still a lot of lying. The economy was the single subject with the largest number of false and misleading claims.

@NewsroomJim @atrupar

@pourmecoffee “And let me tell you something about that miss Rachel. Nasty woman.”

He is now discussing whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie

@atrupar The obsession with violence tonight is unsettling

Trump: "Even as he was gushing blood, which was flowing back down the aisle--k. Helicopter lands at a steep angle. The machine gun stood right in front of him. It was right in front of him, two machine gunners who escaped the wrath of the previous planes."

@atrupar “We might kill innocent fishermen lolololol”

Trump: "With our new military campaign we have stopped record amounts of drugs coming into our country and virtually stopped it completely coming in by water or sea. You probably noticed that. We seriously damaged their fishing industry also. Nobody wants to go fishing anymore."

@atrupar Jesus dude. This has to the most graphic and obscene state of the union

Trump: "Believe it or not, Hamas worked along with Israel and they dug, and they dug, and they dug. It's a tough thing to do going through bodies all over. Passing up 100 bodies sometime for each one then found. Tough job. And uhh. They finally got it back to 27. And then they found all 28."

@atrupar Rubio looks like he’d rather be literally anywhere else

Trump on Marco Rubio: "You know, Marco got 100% of the votes when he was in confirmation. And now some Democrats are saying, 'I can't believe we approved that guy!'"

@binarybits @TheStalwart “Essay” doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Weird future fantasy is closer to the truth

The Citrini essay includes a paragraph about an industry I know something about. Redfin tried to do this exact business model (bare-bones buy-side agent who rebates 2/3 of the 3% fee) and consumers hated it. I see no reason to think an AI version will work better.

@dangainor @ChrisRoper @JillFilipovic So it’s not for show. Got it.

@apaol11 @ChrisRoper @JillFilipovic You don’t grasp the scientific method, do you?

"We analysed 40,000 public social media posts on LinkedIn and Facebook, all in English, comparing what the same accounts were publishing a few years ago with what they post today. The short story: most people have stopped writing their own posts. Roughly 9 out of 10 posts we analysed from late 2024 onwards were generated largely or entirely by AI." By @mariusdrag and Media and Journalism Research Center @MedJournResCen Welcome to Slopfest 3000.

@dangainor @ChrisRoper @JillFilipovic They analyzed the CHANGE in posts for the same accounts. Are you this dense in real life or is this for show?

@ChrisRoper @JillFilipovic Or your analysis is skewed to think what people write sounds like AI.
