Trump will REMAIN President, but what he CAN'T do now: 1. *Can't pass any law:* Needs Parliament. With Democrats at 90, all his bills will be blocked. 2. *Can't get money:* Parliament controls the budget. No funding for his MAGA projects, Wall etc. 3. *Faces Impeachment Risk:* Democrats can start investigations and even move impeachment. 4. *Can't appoint Judges/Officials freely:* Senate will block his picks. 5. *Can't do big foreign deals:* Trade deals, war funding needs Parliament nod. In short: He will stay in the White House, sign Executive Orders, but Parliament and Courts can overturn them. He becomes a *Lame Duck President* - President in name, powerless in reality. #USMidterms

Memory cards were actually good. But tech companies destroyed that market and forced us to take cloud storage subscription, giving them access to our personal info

Gen Z will never understand how weird and fun the internet used to be. We had personal websites, obscure forums, experimental pages, and bizarre corners of the web. Then Google, Amazon, and Meta turned it into an algorithmic shopping mall packed with ads and commerce.

The most brutal part of poverty is how much of your life it consumes. Waiting for buses. Sitting in laundromats. Hunting for the cheapest groceries. Taking extra trips just to save a few dollars. Filling out endless forms. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

🚨Now that Luigi Mangione plead guilty in his federal case, his defense team has filled a motion to dismiss his state case due to double jeopardy protections. This also means that he could be freed with a presidential pardon.

ho fatto un viaggio. per raccontare il prezzo di ogni volta che usate Gemini o Chatgpt "perché si fa prima", perché "non trovavo una cosa", perché "per lavoro". il costo di Claude che parla con Veltroni. (grazie ancora una volta a Rivista Studio) rivistastudio.com/data-cente…

🚨 Luigi Mangione has a court appearance tomorrow to hear if his New York state judge decided to suppress evidence (e.g. backpack, g-n, notebook, statements made to law enforcement). Public can attend in person. There should be new photos. As always, we'll also post live updates.

Val Kilmer’s famous “bullshit” cough in TOP GUN - when Iceman calls out Maverick’s inverted‑MiG story - was improvised on set, and the cast’s reactions were kept in the final cut.

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'
