These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

*guy gets arrested for a few hours and is returned to his palace* Mob justice is going too far!!

“In the one FBI interview that was released — of at least four interviews with her that exist the case files — the woman’s attorney cites ‘fear of retaliation’ when Trump’s name comes up.”

The Connemara hills suffer some of the worst overgrazing in Ireland. Protect the bogs, restore the forests, you'll see peak flooding decrease... www.irishtimes.com/environment/...

Back on Twitter, long before Musk bought it, when it was perceived as having a lib/left cast, journalists were always ticking users off because it wasn’t “real life”. Now it’s X, a far-right site, they tick us off because it’s “the commons” and apparently we’re missing real life by not being there?

Just when you think you've seen the most brain-dead hysterical media reporting on nonsensical anti-renewables "fears" whipped up on deranged Facebook groups, along comes the epic nonsense below:

“These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.”

Four years ago, the Russian ground invasion of Ukraine began. CCTV footage captured the moment a Ukrainian border guard first saw incoming Russian forces. Today, Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands, and the nation of Ukraine survives thanks to the courage and creativity of its people. Slava Ukraini.

Pure and utter racism in an apartheid state.

Control one Internet connected thermostat – harass one household Control many thermostats – attack the electric grid Control one robot vacuum – harass one cat Control many robot vacuums – harass all the cats

Wow. A Democrat running in the primary to take on Mike Lawler (in a district Harris won) says that while voters have appreciated her going to the West Bank to learn more about Israel's occupation of Palestine — and honestly identifying it as "apartheid" — party officials are now attacking her:

I will believe men are "protectors of women and children" when they storm the capitol to demand accountability for the Epstein files like they did to keep a rapist in the White House after he lost an election.

Ahh McConnell's chickens are coming home to roost 🤣 www.donegallive.ie/news/crime--...

Do non-Black people know that racism literally kill us? The stress of it is lethal. When my dad turned 80 this summer he remarked that so few Black men of his generation make it to 80. Delroy Lindo is 73. Some consideration for his and MBJ's feelings is warranted here but woefully absent.

It speaks volumes that Trump's own supporters keep trying to k*ll him. The violence you incite comes back to claim you.

The virus killed my uncle in just four days during the initial wave. He died alone in the ICU on a ventilator because nobody was allowed in the room. These trolls want to make a “comedy” out of it.

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

with the arrest of peter mandleson please do remember that these are only, at this stage, allegations, and that the only evidence in the public domain that his is guilty is all those emails that were published that proved he did it

Update from the US frontline with Iran; a significant amount of toilets onboard the USS Gerald Ford are out of order, sailors are being forced to wait in hour long cues to take a shit and the mission was extended from 6 months to 8 months, many are promising to quit the Navy.

A lot of people are making this about the person with Tourette’s, I am not. I empathize, and sympathize with Michael B, Jordan, and Delroy Lindo. They had to keep their composure, there was no room for them to be shocked, upset, or appalled.

I think the BAFTAs as an organization needs to publicly apologize to Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, regardless of whether Davidson had any control over himself

Black folks have a right to go into public spaces and not have slurs hurled at them. Two things can be true. You can be empathetic to this person and their Tourette’s, but also be empathetic to Michael B Jordan, and Delroy Lindo.

You gotta read the post that follows this one but don't do it with your good seeing eyes. I'm just sayin

It’s almost as if someone should make a film about Tourette Syndrome to educate people... Oh wait... They did... & it won a shitload of BAFTAs. Meanwhile, on a broadcast with a 2hr delay, the BBC censored a black filmmaker saying free Palestine, but chose to leave this in. #JamieFoxx #Tourettes

went and found this to repost again given the current chatter! people should get the eff off twitter!

We all knew this was the case, despite repeated claims to the contrary. The DNC owes it to Democratic voters to release this report so the data can be used to inform future races.

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

The logic here only makes sense if you assume AI and human beings are in a competition for resources (which in some meaningful sense might be true), and that the most efficient consumer of resources for performing AI-related functions should be allowed to win (which is pathological).

“The effort to quiet Paris complements the wider campaign to make Paris greener, cleaner & less car-dependent, which include vehicle restrictions in the center, crackdowns on polluting vehicles, & an ambitious expansion of bike networks. Those have cut the city’s average noise level by 2 decibels.”

"Why aren't reporters asking whether the president has the legal right to launch another Middle Eastern war?" From my Zeteo piece/newsletter today: zeteo.com/p/an-illegal...

“You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth.”

“Settlers threw eggs at us in Hebron.” Congressional candidate Effie Phillips-Staley did what many US politicians don't: she visited Palestine. The Democratic primary contender for New York's 17th Congressional District told Prem all about the backlash she’s faced over it. 🔗: youtu.be/BBQc_Onwzz0

Christ almighty I'm cringing just from the second hand embarrassment for these eejits. We need to ban Facebook entirely till grown adults stop being so gullible

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

Sharing this again from a story I did a few years ago as a new court ruling has unleashed a torrent of false narratives about asylum-seekers being treated better than Irish citizens on the right to accommodation:

I guess spending a whole year shitting all over your allies has consequences for your wars of distraction and death Who knew?

🔺 BREAKING: UK blocking Trump from using RAF bases for strikes on Iran

Over two years, Israel has spent billions killing tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, destroying homes, farms, and infrastructure in a genocidal war. Now it joins Trump’s Board of Peace, ostensibly to “rebuild” the same territory where it committed genocide. #Infograph

The lie about that Cruise/Pitt fighting scene is still running around the world laughing and waving at the crowds while the truth (green screen, live action, stunt men, digitally replaced faces) is still limping off the start line as the course is being packed up

Led by US President Donald Trump, the “Board of Peace” has convened for its first meeting to discuss the reconstruction for Gaza as deadly Israeli attacks continue on the besieged enclave.

Like Epstein, Brunel was found hanged in his cell before his trial could proceed.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...
