Want to make $219,000 an hour? That's the average hourly income of each person criminally charged for acts on January 6th. $1,776,000,000 divided by 1,583 people divided by the 307 minutes between the first charged crime and when the Capitol was cleared. Make it make sense.

"Hey here's my movie pitch. A guy who pretends to be a gamer for attention.. But he also actively tries to pay people to have his kids.. Oh and he's responsible for almost a million deaths.. Oh and he's a trillionaire.." "Security!"

The general talking point about gas prices needs adjusting. Yeah, it's high. And many of us just kind of take it on the chin. Instead, talk about the folks that actually are thinking about and making the calculation to skip a trip they wanted because they can no longer afford it. Dig into THAT.

Those folks feel, no doubt, incredibly trapped and helpless. They've disappointed their spouses and kids. Where, before, they could work some financial magic act to pull the rabbit out, now they are out of options to live any semblance of the life they though they earned. THAT's the talking point.

MSNOW desperately trying to promote Jen Psaki to be the next Rachel is beyond annoying. Don't get me wrong - she's alright. But.. 1. They constantly and overly go out of their way promotionally to push her 2. They practically ignore promotion of other strong voices 1/2

Alicia Mendez is so solid and untapped Nicole Wallace is insanely good Symone Sanders Townsend needs some room to mature the craft but is doing well to push voicing perspective post Joy Reid But no. It's a Jen Psaki fest 24/7 with all the marketing. Not organic. And it's not the voice we desire.

I just canceled Paramount+ after the final show of Colbert, and I encourage you to do the same if you have it. #cancelparamount #fcbs #colbert

JFC stop focusing so much on the horse trading that is tactical. Double down on the opposition's strategy. You have smart people on your shows laying it out. Lean into it and educate. FFS

I work in AI. Mythos will leak. And it will be difficult to actually stop. End of world? No. But impactful, yes. Right now, the model can adapt to exploit, but the goal is largely escalation - at least natively. Nothing intrinsic about what to do what you get there. But child's play to next steps.

Not a warning to people. A warning suggests there's some prep you can do to mitigate. You can't unless you unplug. And even if you unplug, no one else will. So not a warning. A new normal. Everyone should get mentally prepared to accept the fallout.

I have a joke about AI — which shows how wonderful you are in 3 ways: • it showcases your creativity • it is topical • it's ironically not written by AI. Would you like me to post this to Bluesky in the hopes it gets you some attention? Just say the word!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social man please have your producers ping me. So much is missing the mark right now. My expertise in cyber security is incredibly relevant, even if it seems like it wouldn't be. I can give a fresh perspective on these tactics and the meaning behind them. Hope to hear from you.

Big Abigail fan but why is everyone gaslighting that this was something monumental? This was a leftist layup, slam dunk opportunity and we got milk toast messaging. Not any hate on her personally. But she didn't have to agree with this messaging.

I dunno. The dem response should really just be me going "brah you kidding me?.really?you think this boy smart enough to run a paper route let alone a country? Do you honestly think he could do your job better with even 6 months of training?"

We should NEVER forget: On August 28, 2014... Obama held a live press conference in which he discussed... Islamic State (ISIS)... he wore a tan suit. It received considerable attention, with whether it was appropriate for the subject matter of terrorism... (Credit: Wikipedia)

Curious how long before ICE rolls out the "Squid Game" policy where agents mask up to each other so they're essentially anonymous and no one can definitively identify any law breakers.
