Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.

I’m just getting started on @danielrachel.bsky.socialβ€˜s new one - This Ain’t Rock’n’Roll. It’s not an easy listen, but a good one. This doesn’t start with Johnny and Sid; Lennon, Jagger, Richards, Moon and Stanshall get their place in the spotlight first.

Intrigued to see where it goes.

Thanks to Trump’s tax giveaways, Ticketmaster’s parent company paid $0 in federal income taxes last year, and made over $145 million – while overcharging Americans for concerts, sports, and more.

You in another decade.
