We want to keep paying freelancers for important stories like this, and we rely entirely on reader support to do so. Now is a great time to chip in and sustain truly independent media:

There clouds look fine, I'm sure there will be no problem with them whatsoever

That's just how the sky looks right after someone accidentally frees an ancient evil from its "eternal" prison and then a group of plucky kids with absentee parents have to figure out how to put back. It'll be fine.

I hate talking to people about why I've soured on tech and detest it now because I know that talking about the surveillance state stuff would make me sound like a crack pot.

Best happy dance ever!

wait until he finds out who stormed the beaches at normandy

Well I guess we know where Trump stands on insider trading!

No words. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/...

“Marketers chose the slogan after consulting an AI tool, looking for suggestions, Shinsegae Group said. It turned out some managers who approved the campaign never opened the email attachments showing the marketing material.” What were they thinking 🤣

A new law required requests for mail-in ballots to expire at the end of each election year. Officials encourage anyone planning to vote by mail in August to check their status & submit a request by 5 pm August 6th. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Trying to save 60 Minutes for a company that destroyed the careers of your beloved colleagues in an unjust, demeaning fashion is REWARDING THE BOSSES and becoming complicit in the cruelty towards people you claim to value and respect.

U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy, a Trump appointee, on Friday referred Justice Department lawyers for disciplinary proceedings after writing that the attorneys’ “reckless disregard for the duty of candor owed to a federal court is appalling.”

The WORST people, several of whom promoted the Tara Reade hoax.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jun Guardian After TERFS mounted a campaignto ban trans women from the bathing ponds at London's Hampstead Heath--which have always been open to them--a public consultation drew 38,000 responses, __86%__ of which favored keeping the Ponds trans-inclusive.

So Bari Weiss's big win this week is a statement in which the three remaining 60 Minutes correspondents issue a statement saying they'll stay while excoriating the CBS newsroom she runs as a "shabby" "indecent" "dictatorship." Proud moment for all!

They didn’t trust humans counting ballots. They don’t trust machines counting ballots. They want urban areas unable to count ballots before the deadline so they can throw out votes. Republicans imagine problems that don’t exist so they can cheat while claiming they’re ‘fixing’ the problem.

When The New School’s Student Senate were faced with a report detailing how Hillel International was providing material and logistical support to Israel’s atrocities in Gaza, they voted to cut all ties with their campus chapter of the national Jewish college network. Now they are being investigated.

In a joint letter to staff, Lesley Stahal, Jon Wertheim and Bill Whitaker say they are sticking around for the next season of '60 Minutes.' "Here's why we are staying: We don't want to see 60 Minutes die."

I diligently boycott Paramount and all of its brands as much as possible. CBS is the tip of the iceberg.

Stopped watching CBS News when she came on. Stopped watching CBS entirely after they fired Colbert. Will never subscribe to Paramount+, and have canceled cable so my monthly fee doesn't subsidize propaganda media. Colbet is so smart. Fantastic writers, band, & crew. I truly miss his comedy.

Considering my first thought when I hear anything about CBS is "FUCK CBS" I'd say the head of CBS Entertainment is on to something.

Uh oh. The head of CBS Entertainment is privately warning that the Bari Weiss train wreck is inflicting significant damage on the broader CBS brand. And shes not alone. Inside Paramount, "some believe she should be relieved of her duties." The scoop in @status.news www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

The more money you have, the harder it should be to get more. The more power you have, the more accountable you should be held to outcomes you generate. The more love you have to give, the more assistance and resources should support your projects. NEEDS should be met. End #PredatorCulture

For years, Republicans feared crossing Trump. Now House members are openly backing Ukraine aid and Russia sanctions anyway. The vote matters. Maybe it’s damn near impossible to be intimidated by a man who constantly falls asleep during meetings and sh*ts himself.

I had a feeling that them not solving this case by now was a result of their direct incompetence. (He's making excuses here that don't line up with what local authorities were saying about the case.)

Have great weekend! 🫡

One could almost be forgiven for thinking we don't have one or even more than one department dedicated to computer security. Some sort of command center responsible for cyber security. A CYBERCOM if you will...

Flippity Floppity Donald strikes again, but in a rare moment of reading the room. "The position requires Senate confirmation, something that lawmakers indicated was unlikely if Pulte were the nominee." apnews.com/article/trum...

The problem here is all of these people know they're in a race against the clock to get all of this done before the tide turns. And by "all of this," I basically mean the destruction of anything that could criticize the post-Constitutional technofeudalist society they're hastily trying to stand up.

As Baltimore’s Pride festival grows, residents and city officials grapple with who gets to manage it baltimorebeat.com/as-baltimore...

I want to take this opportunity to say WHAT THE EVER LIVING FUCKKKKKK is Kirsten Gillebrand thinking to sponsor a bill in the Senate to get this ….. MERGE THE IOF INTO OUR MILITARY, giving Israel instant access to all our training and technology, and to circumvent future budget fights over

Jasmine Clark is part of a growing conversation in the Democratic Party about age, one that increased in urgency after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race amid widespread concerns about his age and mental acuity, and after several House Democrats died in office.

The Trump administration is arguing for power to alter a memorial to enslaved people who lived at George Washington’s residence in Philadelphia

Trump is trying to impose a bogus political litmus test for all federal grants – limiting the funding, subjects, and potential discoveries of our researchers. The cost of such a test would be felt for generations and could permanently stunt American scientific progress.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

Starved in Jail By Sarah Stillman Why are incarcerated people dying from lack of food or water, even as private companies are paid millions for their care? This 2025 article is hard to read. Thank you to Jessica Pishko for highlighting it.

beginning to think that they want to destroy america so deeply and so completely that the average american demands the free labor of slavery be brought back to take us out of the worst depression our country will ever or has ever seen

Dear DOJ, That which we don't release, other countries will. Pull on one thread and... #TrumpsteinFiles www.rawstory.com/uk-dumps-new...

“The GEO Group PAC, the company’s employee-funded political action committee, contributed $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC, Make America Great Again Inc., in 2024.” "GEO Group and CoreCivic each donated $500,000 to Trump’s 2025 inaugural committee.” www.opensecrets.org/news/2026/03...

Does Trump, the Diet Coke chugger and eater of fatty fats, know his Secretary of HHS talks about him this way? Would RFK Jr. promote a monthly public weigh-in , for Trump? 👀 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/w...

Trump, unintentionally, makes the world a better place with his idiotic grift in Iran (on Mondays the war is on again, on Fridays they have "almost" a "deal" on Sundays he still "thinks about it" and on Mondays... well you get the point), becuase oil loses its appeal: youtu.be/a1oJ4gK8p5Y

people in Florida who saw this in the distance thought the nuclear war had started so I know that explosion was BAD bad

“Arizona’s economy is increasingly built on a model that extracts public resources from working families to subsidize corporate expansion and billionaire profits.”

The feeling is mutual.👇🏼

Great. Hours and hours of rambling nonsense and lies, mixed with naps. open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

I feel bad for the people visiting from developed nations, they’re not used to our primitive ways
