totally agree and, for me, the show is actually very much about the audience experience of facing why we unquestioningly trusted and rooted for him (but people still defended him til the end bc ::checks notes:: Skylar was a "bitch" and forced him into racism and murder)

I don't know that there is anyone other than USA men's hockey players who says more stupid things on a daily basis re unforced errors (women's lives are worthless unless have kids, there is no point of opera or ballet, nobody is a more serious actor than him, etc etc)

I wonder at some point if randos will complain that this many tragedies could happen in one mid sized city like Pgh: yes, indeed, things do often collapse here πŸ˜‚. America's most livable city if you just avoid that sinkhole!

This is one of the most jaw dropping moments of Trump’s presidency. Up there with brainstorming about injecting bleach and shining light up orifices to cure COVID.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

U.S. Lost 92,000 Jobs in February The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday, missing expectations.

A nightmare employment report this morning.

Economists’ expectation was +50,000 jobs.

Actual number was 92,000 jobs lost.

Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.

so, let me get this straight, the blue collar jobs that have been gleefully pushed in the anti college rhetoric are not there and they want to move all the white collar jobs to genAI. and there is no social safety net and he'll would freeze over before UBI? ETERNAL WAR MUST BE THE ANSWER!

I feel like I passed a new hurdle today: as a new glasses wearer (it is so hard to start wearing glasses in your 50s for first time), I have misplaced my glasses and simply can't find them

Trump couldn't care less about Americans. To him, we are and always have been no-names, extras, the cost of doing business. He won't lose a minute of sleep over an American life, or over a thousand of them.

Cant get over how insane this answer is. News media would absolutely have destroyed a Dem president who responded flippantly to the idea of civilian casualities in the US bc of a war like Trump does here.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.
