After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom. In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

“.. This is simply attempted corporate murder,” Ball wrote. “I could not possibly recommend investing in American AI to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an AI company in the United States.” @politico.com #Anthropic www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Or — hear me out — they were lying then *and* they are lying now.

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

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

Accurate.

A slightly hilarious aspect of Pam Bondi's now infamous Dow 50k quote is that Feb 11, the date of her testimony, is literally the last time that the Dow was at 50k.

There are a lot of terrible Trump judges but Cannon wants you to remember that she may be the worst.

My morning view in Boston. Still snowing with wind gusts of about 30-40mph. Had to go clear a path for the poor pups 🐶

"In the first year of Trump’s second term, economic growth fell to a 9-year low, and domestic job growth fell to a 16-year low..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Some days you just need a good, sad song and, for me, "Song for Zula" is one of the greatest of all time. What's yours? youtu.be/ZPxQYhGpdvg?...

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.

"The important thing to note is that a JS-heavy approach will most likely not be a good starting point; in fact, it will probably prove to be a performance minefield that you will need to keep revisiting, risking a detonation with every new commit." sgom.es/posts/2026-0...

Fellows Dems, it is time make @bsky.app our primary social media link and posting place and leave X behind. It is time now.

There are reports that ICE was at South Station in Boston, taking photos of everyone coming off the trains. Photos. Of everyone. When we get rid of this administration, we must also insist on destroying whatever sinister database these fucks are feeding.

cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

Of the 52 million jobs created in America since 1989, 51 million, 97%, have been created under Dem Presidents. Essentially all of them. 4/

Congressman wants to round up and deport people who liked Bad Bunny’s show. This is the Republican Party.

"TikTok’s Terms of Service now explicitly include tracking of location and citizenship status (among other identity markers, such as sex)." newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

That highly classified whistleblower report Tulsi Gabbard covering up? Guardian reports it’s an NSA intercept of a call between a close Trump associate and “an individual associated with foreign intelligence.” Sounds similar to Trump’s campaign chair meeting Russian intel and sharing data in 2016.

Florida state colleges and universities were once the jewel of an otherwise poor education system in the state. Sadly, I would highly recommend students not bet their future on them in the current political climate.

Q: A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do? Trump: No, I didn't make a mistake. It was fine. I guess it was a takeoff from The Lion King. And certainly it was a very strong post

It is difficult for me to fathom how Kratom is still legal in the US, especially the highly potent 7-OH version, given that the addictiveness and symptoms seem barely different than opioids. When dealing with a family member with an addiction you'll get the same lies and manipulation of an addict.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

“.. Over and over, when the president repeated lies that were debunked months or years ago, Llamas responded simply ‘right’ or ‘yeah’ – or didn’t acknowledge them at all.” @cnn.com @ddale8.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2026/02/05/p...

Ah! This is the de-escalation and "softer touch" that the media keeps talking about!

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

Every other day, I see a new essay by someone disillusioned by Apple. The themes are consistent. The sycophantic support of the Trump administration. UI design now violates principles they invented. Anti-competitive and predatory actions in the pursuit of revenue. The rebels have become the empire

jesus christ

Apple fans are turning from the company. TimCook’s Trump ties, losing its UI magic, and a talent exodus signal rot. Hardware design is stagnant and the Vision Pro missed the mark. The most damning verdict? Apple is now just the "gold standard for hyper-profitability and predatory monetisation."

This right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.

NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge futurism.com/future-socie...

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Apple is real quick to remove tracking apps warning people ICE is around but still hasn’t removed CSAM app X. Just in case you need more evidence that Big Tech fully supports this regime.

As ICE terrorizes communities, crypto executives who spent years posting about freedom have gone conspicuously silent. But behind the scenes, they’ve contributed at least $315 million — more than double their record 2024 spending — to elect more lawmakers to enable this administration.

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator. It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/

".. Here’s what we can expect to happen next: .. fresh, dubious claims about old, settled issues .. Leading them to advocate strongly for changes .. ".. changes that will invariably make it harder for Democrats to win or to have their victories certified." @pbump.com www.pbump.net/o/some-thing...

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

In response to the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration officers, Apple CEO Tim Cook sent a note to his staff praising Trump for “his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all”

Remember when we all saw him do the sieg heil — twice! — and even the media told us not to believe our eyes

Every single tech advocate carrying water for OpenAI and their products should be thinking about who they’re giving free publicity to. Because I sure am. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Can't help it but this is what I think it when I think of Bovino returning to his respective sector.

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.

I, for one, welcome folks like Jonathan Rauch, who belatedly come to the realization that Trump and his "movement" are fascist. We need all the help we can get, especially from folks with a platform. 1/n www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I ported Super Monkey Ball to a website. You can access it in the replies. (or just type what you see in the video, I'm not your boss.)

What a relief that they’re calling for a general de-escalation of tensions, since it’s hard to tell who’s at fault, the people murdering people or the people who aren’t doing the murdering.
