Main takeaway here is that the “creator payouts” on this app are garbage and the guys who bought Twitter have largely destroyed its functionality as a town square so idiots can earn pennies.

@SonnyBunch What happened to movie commentary that we followed this account for? It has now joined the legions of partisan hackery.

Trump voters are getting precisely what they voted for: inflation and foreign wars!

Oof. The US national gas average just hit $4.30, according to AAA. That's the highest since July 2022. Gas prices have shot up $1.40 since the war in Iran began. That's adding ~$70 extra a month to household costs. #gas #inflation

Hot take, I guess, but stealing is wrong and you shouldn't do it.

Finally, the government can own a piece of the shittiest airline in existence!

SCOOP: The Trump administration and Spirit Airlines are nearing a deal where the U.S. government would put up to $500 million into Spirit Airlines stock warrants to try to save the company, leading to a potential significant stake in the company.

@SonnyBunch The Bulwark's bestfriend Hasan Piker thinks stealing and assassinations are a good thing. Congratulations, you are insanely poisonous to the American political system.
English
This is why it's not a gotcha to ask Trump appointees if they think he won in 2020! The only thing Trump actually believes is that he cannot lose he can only be cheated. And that's insanely poisonous to the American political system!

Literally nobody has alleged election malfeasance in the Virginia referendum. There have been no reports of fraud, just lots of Republicans taking issue with the gerrymandering, the ballot language, etc. Trump, however, insists every outcome he dislikes is due to fraud.

@SonnyBunch You work for the Bulwark. You're not a conservative.

(Evergreen reminder that the WHCD is weird and kind of gross and all us conservatives used to agree with that sentiment during the Obama administration when similar seating arrangements would occur, but hey, lol, consistency is for idiot rubes!)

If you don't want CBS to look like a state organ doing the bidding of the administration in order to ease the regulatory hurdles faced by your parent company, you probably shouldn't do things like this.

Data is clearly showing that Iran is controlling what ships can go through the Strait of Hormuz.
Jared Malsin@jmalsin
Data from @LloydsList show that 81% of ships that transited the Strait of Hormuz since April 13 were affiliated with Iran: wsj.com/livecoverage/i… via @wsj

Sat down with Damon Lindelof to talk about the Paramount-Warner merger, why he (and thousands more in the industry) signed a letter opposing it, and what we'll lose if we lose another big studio loses its autonomy. youtube.com/watch?v=Uc10DX…

@SonnyBunch @AlyssaRosenberg @petersuderman Wow cool, hey whats the Bulwarks position on your new bestie Hasan saying he's rooting for terrorists against the US?
English
This week on ATMA, @AlyssaRosenberg is out so @petersuderman and I talked about smoking cigs and getting canceled in the movie OUTCOME. (Speaking of getting canceled, I have a feeling I might get canceled if the anti-smoking crowd ever sees the episode.) movieaisle.substack.com/p/a-very-unusu…

(Just feel like it’s occasionally worth reiterating the insanity of this whole situation.)

If in 2016 a Never Trumper had told you that the President would be casually threatening to eliminate whole civilizations on a website he created to scam dupes out of money we would have been told to calm down.
English
(2/2) The theory: Feds set the pipe bombs to spur the protesters into violent riots after police cracked down on Trump supporters.
The reality: Trump supporters violently rioted anyway and also a guy who says he voted for Trump planted the bombs.
English
(1/2) I’ve always been fascinated by the Jan. 6 pipe bomb conspiracy because it doesn’t really make sense even on its own terms. thebulwark.com/p/the-blaze-fi…

The thing you always have to remember about Trump is that he’s a remarkably thin-skinned bitch. theatlantic.com/culture/2026/0…

@SonnyBunch You work for the Bulwark so I guess you'd know how it feels.

I love how Community notes frequently show Twitter employees to be incompetent liars.
