here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

I’m sick of singing about piss

Huh

Trump administration ‘pauses’ Virginia’s offshore wind project

HRW student interns talking about how they confirmed. Including an influencer video with the warden talking about the torture. Now interviewing an expert explaining why all of these details mean that the detainees stories are believable and should be trusted. Again, VERY new

Delivery to CECOT. A detainee describes the warden's welcome speech to them: You'll never see the light of day or night again. Welcome to hell. I'll make sure you'll never leave. Thought they were already the living dead.

This has been made available, so for purposes of commenting on Bari Weiss's decision to spike the story, here's a live-post of that segment. It begins with a "you may recall" summary of the deportation to el Salvador. Describes the admin's claim that it could deport the men without due process

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.

Listened to a reporter today defend that ai is good because a lot of people use it and dang man Cs Get Degrees bayba

In a just world there would be a name instead of ‘off-duty Norfolk police officer’ and the thumbnail for the story would include a photo of that cop’s face for sharing around social media, you know kind of like story thumbnails with mugshots of people who didn’t fucking do anything wrong

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day "I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off. There's silence for a second. "Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."

yes. she investigated the case of why everyone at the new york times hated her and discovered that it was because she was too smart and too brave.

Neighbourhood child who drew this, welcome to @thewaroncars.bsky.social

It’s crazy seeing this place become a dead mall

The Trump administration has failed to share any new information that supports this sudden and sweeping move to halt all offshore wind development, including a project off the coast of Virginia that is already almost complete and operational.

This is great. Do not think it’s a Big Christmas Tree Light conspiracy but now that I type that out LOL

Spin & Lime are both pretty expensive in Baltimore but if you qualify for ANY state/fed program for low income (Medicaid, LIHEAP, SNAP/EBT, WIC, student Pell grants, etc) you can get 80% off rides! Had never heard of this until I saw Omar at Bikemore trying to sign ppl up. www.bikemore.net/enroll

We can’t even get a battleship going apeshit back on the big screen at Harbor Park for good guy dingers what is this bullshit LOL

Dummies

JUST IN: Dominion Energy’s Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Project off the Virginia Beach coast is one of five major offshore wind projects around the U.S. whose leases were “paused” today by the U.S. Interior Department, citing unspecified national security concerns.

🪅 every one of them everywhere don’t want them ‘removed’ want us to be allowed to destroy them in situ with aluminum softball bats

These cameras can be set to automatically zoom in on people and follow them. Flock left the admin panels for these cameras exposed, where people could download 30 days of footage, change settings, delete things. We found them at playgrounds, bike paths, parking lots, street fairs:

Remembering William “Billy” Flora, a free Black Virginian and Revolutionary War patriot whose courage at the Battle of Great Bridge helped shape Virginia’s fight for independence. An overlooked American story worth knowing, per Tom Ewing. virginiamercury.com/2025/12/22/r...

Rather than take the L handed to it by a judge two weeks ago who voided its ban on wind power, the White House has employed the only move it knows: doubling down — in this case through the invention of “national security concerns.”

SCOOP: Flock left at least 60 of its AI-powered, people-tracking surveillance cameras exposed and livestreaming to the open internet. We tracked ourselves. The exposure highlights the power of these cameras and types of things they're tracking. Not just cars. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

Virginia’s gun homicide rate from 2020 to 2024 matched the national average, but more than a quarter of those deaths occurred in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Hampton.

The Department of Interior has paused all offshore wind projects under construction, including Dominion's CVOW project that is set to come online in Q1 next year, due to "national security threats" #valeg #vagov www.doi.gov/pressrelease...

One of these projects, CVOW, is off the coast of VA Beach. Given this area's giant military presence (nation's largest naval base, etc), I will bet cash money it already went through a shitload of military approvals in the last decade. "National security concerns," what a load of crap.

Imagine trying to explain this to someone in the future "There were these people who talked about free speech in prestigious publications all the time and they promoted the career of a woman who turned CBS into state media."

Xavier: it’s in Cincinnati (for my fellow ‘where’s that school’ because college BB enthusiasts LOL)

Sounds like the Pentagon press corps

Here’s a gift link to this stunner Washpost story, quoting the 60 Minutes correspondent on the CECOT story, who accuses Bari Weiss of spiking the piece all because the Trump Administration wouldn’t comment. “Government silence is a statement, not a VETO.” wapo.st/3YL4T3D

Have once again received an updated document from a colleague in STEM world and the file name is ‘Current.doc’ and the ‘updated on’ field in the header is July 2025. How in the hell does this happen. It is a fellow grown-up. How.

It’s still Christmas until Jan 6th and this is definitely something I am upholding purely and solely out of liturgical principle and not also because I am really late with my cards.
