@Pogue After listening to you and on John Gruber’s Talk Show podcast, I’m totally buying this book. Can’t wait to read it.

Amazon is selling "Apple: The First 50 Years" (now a New York Times bestseller) for 25% off—which, on a $50 full-color book, really helps. Interestingly, Amazon also sent refunds to everyone who'd paid full price earlier. amazon.com/Apple-First-Ye…

@NateSilver538 You’re too smart for this take. You know that was shockingly close.

There's plenty of appetite for progressivism, etc., within the Democratic electorate, but the Very Online version of it doesn't really travel well.

@goneers @DNIGabbard There are a lot of threats. There are other ways to deal with them besides spending $20 billion with no goals, no plan, and no exit strategy, and causing gas to jump $1 per gallon and add inflation to everything.

@DNIGabbard Anyone with an IQ higher than a Somalian knows Iran was a threat.

Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country.  The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.  After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

@RealKeatonHobby @DNIGabbard Let's pretend all of that is correct. He still had no goals, no plan, and this war is a $20 billion disaster.

@DNIGabbard Trump called the shot. Tulsi backed the boss. Kent can quit if he wants—weak sauce. We stand with POTUS.

@XisCensorious @gardahirdel @LindseyGrahamSC @Reza62726313 @POTUS The USA has already stopped having anything to do with Ukraine/Russia.

@gardahirdel @LindseyGrahamSC @Reza62726313 @POTUS My prediction: We stop having anything to do with the Ukraine/Russia war. After Iran becomes a U.S. partner, we sign a deal with Russia to couter China. Then Putin takes the choice parts of Europe he always wanted. Putin knows how to deal with Muslim invaders. Win-win.

Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

@JetSetGent @jonfavs @atrupar Because this war is just like WWII.

@jonfavs @atrupar I mean yeah, when we entered WWII it also hurt consumers a bit, but they didn’t mind.

Get this guy on the campaign trail!

@davesaunders @pmitu I thinks it's funny when people have a serious take on memes.

@pmitu I think this is sadly true with far too many of these newly vibe-coded cases. I spoke with one lawyer this weekend who says his litigation firm now has a standard set of AI-coding questions for discovery. It's going to slam-dunk every damages claim based on negligence.

@DYLZAK @jacobsoboroff How do you figure two years? He’s only 55. That’s kind of young to retire. By the way I wanted to look up his age, so I Googled “ice guy nazi” and he was the first result.

@jacobsoboroff It only took 2 years. And he was going to retire anyway. 😂🤣😂 Go ahead and pat yourself on the back. Y’all are losing the joy. There’s another No Kings March coming up soon isn’t there! I love those. What costumes are you wearing this time?

@suyashlunawat12 @Pogue @gruber @daringfireball

I wonder why none of @Pogue's recent stuff for Apple at 50 is linked by @gruber's @daringfireball.

@RealSpitfire @jhccr2200 Tell me you don’t understand international markets without telling me you don’t understand international markets.

@jhccr2200 You are so stupid. You made a huge assumption and then made an a$$ out of yourself.

Only 2% of the oil used in U.S. domestic gas supplies comes through the Strait of Hormuz. There is no reason we should be paying higher gas prices. It’s all a scam.

@revch18 @jimcramer Maybe using Vietnam as your strategic blueprint is not such a great idea.

@jimcramer Jim, Trump may be listening to you. And you're right, one way to end the war is Iran must feel it economically. They're still exporting oil. Please tell him to stop that! & consider taking Karg Island like he took Venezuelan oil.

If the infrastructure is not taken out and the money is not taken away why should Iran come to the peace table. They are taunting us with $200 oil. They do not have the cards; our military must be unleashed. Time to do what we did to Hanoi...to get them to the table

@p_tom40 @jimcramer Yeah right. It's really great for buyers when your product price jumps 150%. Who do you think is going to buy the $200 oil and $7/gallon gas?

@jimcramer Because China might not like $200 Oil, and the Iran’s bankers in UAE Dubai might not like this either. $200 oil is a bonanza for the largest energy producer in the world right now, USA.

@jimcramer Yeah. How did that work out with Hanoi?

@INDYpatriot9109 @HQNewsNow No. Classic Trump trying to re-define words like "declare". The WAR in Iran is exactly what our founders wanted to prevent our President from doing. If you're going to parse every word in the Constitution to seperate the language from its intent, then we have no Constitution.

Classic Klein gotcha attempt — and it flops hard. The Trump advisor was spot on: it’s ALL about what ‘declare’ actually meant to the Founders. Congress has the power to formally declare war… but the President is Commander in Chief with clear authority to defend America without waiting for 535 politicians to vote. We haven’t had a formal declaration since WWII and we’ve still won wars. Trump’s team understands real constitutional power — decisive strength over bureaucratic theater. Facts don’t care about your ‘quote’ clip. 🇺🇸 #MAGA #AmericaFirst

Trump advisor: Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Klein: I will quote the Constitution. ‘The Congress shall have power to declare war.’ Trump advisor: *silence* Klein: It is Congress that has the power to declare war. Trump advisor: S-so… The issue has to do with what was meant by ‘declare’…

@VigilantFox @alpha_brav0 I don't understand the criticism of Sam Harris. He's a guest on a show and he let's the host talk. What do you want him to do? Interrupt? If you want Harris' opinion on the war, listen to his podcast and you can hear him talk about it for an hour.

@alpha_brav0 Imagine having pictures of people dancing in the streets, and your editorial team passes that up to show photos of people mourning the leader of a regime that sentences gay people to death.

Sam Harris sits quietly as Bill Maher calls out the NYT for pushing readers toward an opinion on the “Iran War.” “The second day of the war… The New York Times’ headline was ‘US troops die.’ That was what they led with.” “But then, in a country where I’ve read 80 to 90% of the people are thrilled that the Ayatollah is gone, what picture did they put? Picture of people mourning the Ayatollah…” “I can’t believe that somebody at the desk didn’t get, ‘I’ve got a great picture of people dancing in the streets.’ Yeah, we’re gonna go with the 10% who are sorry the Ayatollah is dead because that’s gonna funnel the thought of our readers toward, ‘Oh, this is a bad war to get into.’” “That, to me, is the difference in what the media does now and what they didn’t used to do. You’re funneling me toward an opinion, whereas I would love it if you just told me what happened.” After a couple of low-energy “yeahs,” Harris conceded: “The boundary between activism and journalism has clearly broken down.”

@Rdcon502 @MichaelARothman He does what he says he's going to do? When? Did he say he was going to start a global war and destroy the world's economy?

@MichaelARothman Here's what you just said. The presidents after Nixon including Reagan were puppets. Trump is not that's why they hate him, both party's. They can't control him, he is America first.

𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘'𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗣 — 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗜 𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗛𝗜𝗠 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗬𝗪𝗔𝗬 Some of you genuinely think Trump supporters believe this man is perfect. That he can do no wrong. That we're in some kind of cult. We don't. He can. We aren't. Some of us are just mature enough to say: 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆. So here it is. My honest list. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲: The social media. The all-caps, impulsive posting, unnecessary jabs. Sometimes the best move is to shut up. Not every fire needs fuel. He could calm situations instantly if he stopped feeding the outrage machine. The cockiness. 𝗡𝗼 𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲. 𝑶𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒅𝒐 𝒊𝒕. It gets old. Tell me what's being done. Tell me what's coming. Skip the self-praise. The personal attacks that go on too long. Call out what needs to be called out — then move on. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗺: He's real. Not rehearsed. Most politicians are polished and presidential — and it sounds nice — but it's usually fake. Trump is raw, blunt, and imperfect. But 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘀. He doesn't read from a script written by donors and PR teams. In a world full of performance politicians, that honesty is refreshing. He answers questions and doesn't hide. He doesn't dodge the press. He doesn't disappear for days. He doesn't need a teleprompter to breathe. Even when reporters frame questions to trap him — he still answers. 𝗛𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗵𝗲'𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼. This is why millions still support him. Most candidates campaign on big promises, then magically can't deliver once in office. Trump follows through more consistently than any president I've seen in my lifetime. He puts America first. You can hate his style — but the results speak. He fights for our borders, our economy, our energy, our sovereignty, our safety. He doesn't bend to global pressure. He doesn't apologize for America. I don't support Trump because I think he's perfect. I support him because I agree with his mission: 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻𝘀, 𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗯𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸, 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. Stop pretending the only reason people support Trump is because they're brainwashed. Some of us simply looked at the outcomes — and chose the leader who fights for our country. Faith. Family. Freedom. 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺 — 𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲.

@sumiturkude007 You can tell it's AI because the actors are so terrible.

This short film made with Seedance 2.0 is absolutely insane. The realism looks like a real movie — no one can tell it's AI.

@eduardo41935622 @adammocklerr Oh. Was there a war?

@adammocklerr TDS that’s all the democrats have - didn’t say anything about this

🚨 Trump RUSHES TO GOLF as TERROR ERUPTS

@JeffRoberts381 @Ken4uandme @swd2 Wearing a baseball cap with a suit is a lazy grandpa move. He didn’t have an hour before to prep his elaborate comb-over hairdo.

@Ken4uandme @swd2 Since when does a civilian wear a military uniform? Since when is a civilian subject to military protocol?

When I go to a baseball game I remove my cap for the national anthem. This guy can't take his stupid hat off in a moment honoring the war dead? GTFO. How do people keep defending this classless assclown?
