“The Artemis two astronauts are preparing for Friday evening's return to Earth. The three Americans and one Canadian are now under 150,000 miles from home after setting a new distance record during Monday's lunar flyby. They're aiming for a splashdown in the Pacific off the coast of San Diego.”

“When you think of all the things that were cut by the world's richest man, you know, whether it was, you know, funding for AIDS research, and, by the way, AIDS is making a a resurgence around the world. You know, I I know it it's hyperbole sometimes to say, well, people will die because of x, y, and z. In this particular case, Molly, people will die. They are dying. They have died as a result of because we wanted to say.”

“The first two days of the ceasefire have been shaky with strikes of varying severity happening in Lebanon, Iran, Israel, and the Gulf Arab states. The Iranians I spoke to at the border didn't wanna be named fearing reprisal upon their return, and none of them believed that the temporary truce would hold.”

“But then he said, and the Vietnam War, I would have won that very easily. This is the war that that he where he dodged the draft claiming that he had bone spurs. He die he and, you know, when he he said that his avoiding of venereal disease was his personal Vietnam, and now he's saying he would have won. This is a man who is so deeply, deeply unserious about all of this.”

“The scientists found that the same neurons that fire when someone looks at an object also fire when a person imagines that object. The finding supports earlier evidence from brain scans suggesting that seeing and imagining activate the same circuits.”

“Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu seemed to give the ceasefire a boost Thursday. He said he has authorized direct negotiations with Lebanon aimed at disarming Hezbollah militants. Lebanese authorities have not yet responded.”

“Lizzy Graham, not content with that, comes out and says, we're gonna have the taxpayers pay for most of all of this. And everybody even Republicans are going, wait. Wait. The ballroom the Bunker Ballroom was supposed to be paid for with private donations. And now, you know, Lindsey Graham, you know, Donald Trump's chief most enthusiastic desperate fluffer, comes forward and says, no. We we need to stick the taxpayers with the tab for all of that.”

“On the one hand, he is into this he's got this fetish for authoritarian aesthetics. On the other hand, he remains this thin skinned little boy who actually hates being laughed at and actually fears being laughed at more than just about anything else, which is why he and Melania almost immediately pivoted to, we are just outraged. We are victims of Jimmy Kimmel telling a joke about us again.”

“This pursuit of a so called golden ticket, I understand. This is the time when everybody's craving stability. It's a scary time. You know, who could blame a young person, especially a young person from a less privileged economic background who's like, I want the surest, steadiest thing around? The problem is that without risk, we get nowhere. And so even though it sounds like counterintuitive advice, I think we have to warn people that running towards the supposedly safe thing might actually end up being inhibiting.”

“We're seeing AI interviews now. I am meeting young people who are like Jody. I applied for a 150 jobs. I didn't meet anybody in the process, and the only interviews I had were AI interviews. So then you get, like, a three, two, one prompt, like, or in a, you know, camera booth or something, and you record your answer. Nobody's gonna watch that video. Your answer is analyzed and crunched by the AI and then sent to the hiring company.”

“Trump turns out he could have always paid those people, moved some money around, and is paying them. Now there are a lot of other people who are not being paid. Now ICE, of course, they're being paid because this is the Trump administration. But and, you know, $220,000,000 for Kristi Noem to do horseback riding videos. But here we are. We've got Congress fighting with itself.”

“Here is what I think you want in a career, and here is what I think we wanna teach young people to find. I think you wanna pair a craft with a need. A craft is a special skill that you have some expertise, something you do really well that other people don't know how to do. Another thing is that your craft protects you. Because, listen, the job market is cruel. We can be fired at any time. But your craft is yours. It can't be taken away from you.”

“Trump hates any kind of clean energy, and so he is using hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to pay off the leases for these wind farms because he hates clean energy. And when we have brownouts this summer and when those enormous AI data centers make it completely impossible for any of us to have power to run our computers or etcetera, etcetera. We will have Donald Trump's canceling wind farms.”

“Melania Trump also denied that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump and said that she is not one of Epstein's victims. She urged congress to hold public hearings for them. Melania Trump's statement seemed to come out of the blue.”
