Man, we used to make bad ass transit focused TV back then.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past. It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

This is a very, very bad decision from one of the two Reagan judges left on the Fifth Circuit, joined by one of the two most extreme Trump appointees on the court. And, it is about the issue I walked through at Law Dork earlier this week, in the context of Minnesota: www.lawdork.com/i/186796727/...

Gente en España, ¿podéis hacerme un favor? La retransmisión de la apertura de los juegos en NBC ha disimulado bastante el abucheo a JD Vance. ¿Tenéis el clip de la retransmisión de TVE?

“I miss the way NYC was in the 80s. It had way more culture back then.” 🫠

this might be the first time I've seen Jeffries genuinely angry at someone besides the left, this statement was *not* workshopped to hell and back

Quizás no es un problema de mantenimiento. Quizás nuestras infraestructuras no están diseñadas para un clima donde tenemos tres tormentas extremas al mes.

All the grifting converging into the griftularity.

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

Honestly, I would rename Penn Station in NYC as Trump Station. The place is a dump. It is fitting.

So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

Post a ship that's not Star Trek or Star Wars.

Do you know how racist do you need to be for the NYT to call something "racist" on a headline without any weasel wording ("critics say", "allegedly") by it? REALLY fucking racist.

¿Soy el único sorprendido de que el emérito no aparezca en los archivos de Epstein? O de la ausencia de Borbones, en general. Parece que nuestros degenerados vieron a Epstein y dijeron "esto es demasiado chungo incluso para mí."

Obviamente @oscarpuente.bsky.social tiene que dimitir. www.wtnh.com/news/connect...

A este paso tanto Vox como los indepes van a acabar recibiendo la paguita de la CIA.

Q: Why/how has Bannon avoided blowback for his chummy ties with Epstein? Is it that so many journalists, across the political spectrum, value him as a source? Someone please enlighten me!

The extent to which this administration personally targets and continues the assault on people who embarrass and shame it is particularly despicable.

Trump encara no ha donat ordres d’intervenir dins el país contravenint ordres judicials, i no sabem si ho farà. Si arribéssim a aquest punt, la crisi constitucional seria inevitable. Obeirien els generals a Trump? Per @4freedoms.es.

Wanting Penn Station named after you a sign you haven’t been there.

You’ve been visited by Happy Ned. Send this to ten friends to Happy Ned them!

Trump wanted Dulles Airport and Penn Station named after him as condition of releasing rail tunnel funds

Yo lo vi, mi teniente, esa rata gorda de ahí se llevó los 3 fardos que faltan, se lo juro. Martínez, está seguro? Sí, mi teniente! Seguro? No se llevó cuatro? No, mi teniente, fuer.... Ah! Sí, mi teniente, por supuesto, 4! (Que lo disfrute)

The largest public works project in human history is the Eisenhower Interstate Highway system. Over 35 years of construction, it cost an inflation-adjusted $600 billion. Amazon; Alphabet; Meta; xAI; and Microsoft will spend more than that THIS YEAR on AI data centers. I am not including OpenAI.

This, measured on Spanish High Speed rail networks, is three whole Spanish High Speed rail networks. For chatbots.

Everytime I see a picture like this (Hartford Line, in this case) I can't help to be a bit annoyed. In most of the world, the first step to increase capacity is electrification, second double tracking. In the US, wiring always comes last, because we are so special.

I have zero bandwidth to develop the idea, but the last decade has given rise to a gulliblity style, where a source’s statement is treated as the story regardless of whether it’s true or plausible. It creates stories that are technically true but functionally misinformation. You see it everywhere.

This is really good. More people talking like this, please. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/opinion/spain-migrants-europe.html?unlocked_article_code=1.J1A.C3H6.tsWaxDNB9Pxf&smid=nytcore-ios-share

The chair of the first law firm that bent the knee to Trump’s extortion and agreed to do pro bono work for him is featured in the Epstein Files, you say? Huh.

chat they had to stop the surgery and call the bomb squad to this man’s ass

Missoula, Montana has just: - Eliminated single family zoning - Eliminated parking requirements citywide - Allows 100-125' of height in many of its mixed-use zones with no limits on density or FAR Why is Missoula so much more progressive than Los Angeles?

In 2009, this was the mask of a UK SAS character in “Call of Duty.” By 2015 it was de rigeur among Iraqi government commandos and Shiite militiamen. In 2018, in “Sicario 2,” it was what CIA surrogate characters wore to disguise themselves as cartel gunmen. Now US law enforcement wears it.

Actually, he could do it in perpetuity, because the interest alone on his $253 billion far exceeds one million dollars a day

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Per Economist/YouGov, here's the % of Americans who support deporting: • Violent criminals: 86% • Those with nonviolent offenses: 43% • Parents of citizens: 26% • Long-time residents with no record: 23% • Those brought here as kids: 21% • Those married to US citizens: 16%

If I was a progressive billionaire, a good place to put my gobs of money would be creating a (money losing) left of center Washington Chronicle news paper. Burn lots of money with it.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

"We’re witnessing a murder," writes @ashleyrparker.bsky.social. "Jeff Bezos ... and Will Lewis, the publisher he appointed at the end of 2023, are embarking on the latest step of their plan to kill everything that makes the paper special." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Post says one-third of its staff across all departments, not just the newsroom, is being laid off.

Of course. DHS lied again. Right after they murdered Renee Good, they shot a young couple in Portland. Then lied about it. They were *not* gang members. And she wasn’t “involved” in a shooting, she was a victim of sexual assault. apple.news/AeMvL-19yS1S...

This cannot be accepted. This is a bullshit move to try and keep the status of the occupation basically unchanged but try and play it off as a compromise

We are living in a *dramatically* improved world. It's up to us to defend that world, and make things even better.

What is most notable about this election in Fairfield, CT is it was a referendum on being open or closed to new housing The Democratic ticket mounted a masterful multi-week public campaign incl op-eds framing being open and having more housing was actually the way to take back control. It worked
