If there's ever been a time to NOT be incrementalist, this is it. The most political capital you're gonna have is right now. And we got Gestapo death squads in MSP and TB spreading through concentration camps in Texas. If you can't find a win there, get out of politics. The Epstein Class, baby

is this the point

The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.

And then…

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Another interesting thing in the Epstein correspondence is when he uses money to fake connections - e.g somebody asks him for tickets to a Itzhak Perlman concert “because the two of you are close” and he just gets his assistant to buy them from a scalping site

My family in unison says “oh dang Italian curling lady”

at least 50% of the la city budget currently goes to cops and the people running the city have no current interest in changing that

This is like when sci fi authors insist on making up weird slang because immersive worldbuilding

It's so funny how many people have had their brains pickled by X and Fox News and can't believe that SF remains one of the most amazing cities in the world.

Grok users prompted the AI chatbot to identify victims from redacted Epstein Files images. Of 31 requests reviewed, Grok generated images for 27, spanning 18 images and one video. X did not respond to requests for comment on Grok's behaviour by time of publication. www.youtube.com/shorts/dhD8O...

In one of our signal chats, a neighbor calls these “fuckaroundabouts”

Breaking MS NOW: The Department of Homeland Security *unsuccessfully* sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, according to a local school official. At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance. www.ms.now/news/dhs-rep...

A new classic from yesterday

Woke 2 coming babyyyyy

Hahahaha rugged

Anticorruption is going to have to include cleaning up professional sports.

I’ll be interested in seeing how quickly Olympics clips get taken down for copyright on Bluesky this year. They’re getting nuked pretty fast over on the MechaHitler app.

bring back shame

a government run by extremely online child kidnappers and cringe memers

guess i’m not surprised by the racism here is really low effort. (i have been getting these emails all day)

kind of amazing to think that there are people who wake up in the morning, get mad at a fox news post and then send this stuff

Ok now I want them to work dunks into the skating programs

In the West, the persistent ridge that has been causing a prolonged dry period will finally shift, with some storms/precipitation returning to both coast & interior. These systems will start out warm, but airmass should eventually cool to near (or even below!) average. Mtn snow!

A much-needed major weather pattern change is finally coming for the continental U.S.! The "Warm West/Cool East" temperature dipole, which has been associated with record Western warmth and extreme Eastern cold/ice/snow, will finally fade in the coming days.

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

these people are all freaks www.thebulwark.com/p/shocking-s...

Trump was polling best among divorced men www.americansurveycenter.org/newsletter/d...

We put on an all-Yiddish community production of fiddler on the roof in Philadelphia and cast member and local artist Sofie Rose Seymour created the most amazing show poster that ever was

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Possibly the best thing I’ve ever seen

THREAD: Let’s talk about Roni, the outstanding raccoon mascot of the 1980 Winter Olympics …

I'm so fucking mad about the goddamn monkey video I could fucking spit. No, no, no, absolutely not am I raising my kids in a country where this shit is considered acceptable. People fucking died to stop this filth!

if you spend any significant amount of time on X the everything app, your brain is being cooked

Just receiving word now that Trump has accomplished the unthinkable: the Yet Even Softer Tone

How it started: How it's going:

crying😂😂

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Layla wins for paying attention

do you have any idea how chill you have to be for sex workers to say they felt unusually safe around you WHILE you smoked crack?!

The #NJDevils in the third period at 5v5: - 0.49 expected goals - 3 high-danger chances - Outchanced 10-3 - Outscored 1-0 Tom Fitzgerald and Sheldon Keefe hockey, baby

well, hopefully that's the last game for Tom Fitzgerald and Sheldon Keefe as employees of the New Jersey Devils

Added benefit of this dumb bullshit from Trump is that, like his fake "national security" hold on wind projects, him doing this makes it really clear that theres no actual valid reason for the federal gov to hold up these funds & its just him being capricious. Thatll go directly into the lawsuits.

good grief
