Uh oh. 55 poultry workers in Colorado symptomatic and tested for bird flu. First 3 results back were positive for H5N1.

Trump just made a post on Truth Social stating that Biden would need to check to see if he could bring his black Vice-President to their golf challenge. The racism is just all out in the open. How can the Republicans nominate this demented person?

Worst moment of a defender's life, your striker turns so quickly that you overrun him and get nutmegged.

Financial Times

Reuters headline captures it better. The polls were wrong. And Macron is the right person to lead the French gov't. He's capable, reasonable, and has a solid grasp of the financial amd foreign policy challenges.

Shot ... chaser. What is even going on with the NYT?

Even the NYT doesn't know. Maybe they'll get an investigative reporter right on this maybe.

Meanwhile on X, Mr Free-Speech himself says people who disagree with him should be executed. Insanely irresponsible. Would the former Twitter safety team have allowed such a call to violence?

OK, here's my hot take about the debate last night and where we go from here.

Today is a good day for not complaining about things.

Tjat's Trump's business model and it seems incredibly effective.

It won't be long before Rudy's creditors are moving to flip his bankruptcy involuntarily to a Chapter 7 so they can liquidate his estate.

Google says this:

Remarkable statement from Scarlett Johansson re her interactions with OpenAI.

Happy birthday to the former US Attorney for SDNY. I think at his arraignment he might regret making this post.

It's feudal Japan. People had no reason to exist other than to better the life of their lord. It's hard for modern people to grasp. Mark Twain tried to explain in Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. He wrote this closer in time to when America had ditched King George and English feudalism.

Made this just for you.

Just starting off my week with the Dark Brandon theme song Grounds from the Idles. It took me a minute to fully appreciate the depth of this band's music. Pretty sure the first line is a reference to this moment. youtu.be/mRkUt9VnaR0?...

Yep. 5 minutes ago in Kyiv.

Was looking for the Onion headline that said "All Corporations Merge Into OmniCorp" but could only find this.

Nathan Kalmoe (he/him)

Yep.

Mueller believed only the House had the power to formally *accuse* a sitting President of a crime. His report was a recitation of facts so the House could pursue Impeachment, which they were doing when Trump tried to extort Ukraine. This is from Mueller's press conference.

Isn't Apple supposed to call it "i" something? iVision? iGoggles?

Here's the primary calendar. Would Trump concede, ever, even if he's losing? If he's not the nominee, will he pull a mini-J6 and throw a riot at the RNC, July 15-18th?

Welp, after years of arguing the Wayne was their guy, it looks like the new NRA Board and legal team (finally!) decided to throw LaPierre where he belongs -- under the bus. (I would add the link but Bloomberg Law does not use https which is kind of astonishing.)
