It's weird that they're both posting as if they don't live in puerto rico, where they both moved to avoid paying taxes

Incredible detail I just noticed Benito takes a drink from this woman as he sings "un shot de cañita en casa de Toñita" She is Maria Antonia Cay (aka Toñita), owner of the famous Caribbean Social Club in Brooklyn A beloved place for the Latino community in NYC

I cannot emphasize enough that what he's singing here, obscured by beeps, is "If your boyfriend doesn't eat your ass, he'd better fuck off"

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

time to remind everybody that the Super Bowl halftime show only exists in this grandiose fashion because a tv show called "In Living Color" stole the ratings from the NFL; the execs notoriously said, "get me Michael Jackson's agent" and thus began all the pomp www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

2/2 What lie-a-second tool Musk has wrought: "Unraveling USAID is estimated to contribute to more than 14M fatalities worldwide in the poorest countries by 2030. Roughly ⅓ affected would be *children under 5*. (Not that fElon cares about brown or black children anyway.) 🧾 The Lancet: da.gd/QblRO

1/2 📣❗ICYMI: fElon has been ordered to sit for a deposition over his role at DOGE & the unconstitutional dismantling of USAID. Discovery next. 😆 Musk, the alpha Tech Bro, always buys/threatens his way out of accountability, so you know he's pissed at this... 🧾 TNR: da.gd/yVI7h ⚖️ Order: da.gd/5Uqp

Media tycoon and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in jail. The children of the 78-year-old have said he will "die a martyr behind bars". Follow us for more reactions here: www.bbc.com/news/live/cq...

How dare a guy sing in Spanish in a place named Santa Clara.

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

That critique of the government extracting resources from PR. The power poles.

Europe gets it! The UK raids the home of a close Epstein pal. Poland probes ties to Russian intel. France raids the office of Musk's X. But the U.S. elites who palled around with the world's worst sex creep get away with it The crisis of elite impunity. My column www.inquirer.com/opinion/jeff...

crickets from the free speech crowd, of course

I don't know that illustrator but thought about depiction and use of Black bodies in art and scientific illustrations at that time. Also, the post reminded me of John Singer Sargent's many, many sketches and paintings of Thomas Eugene McKeller. This painting in particular is anatomically precise.

Fixing the Midterms is now the main driver for Trump.

Yes x 1000. I told my editors that all of the LLM drama came for romance (thanks to the Amazon marketplace) over a decade ago. Every iteration after that has been the same cycle over and over again. Can’t get serious people to treat it seriously, however, because it’s about women’s economic activity

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

The Gilded Age 2.0 robber barons, unlike their Industrial Revolution predecessors, do not have the same motivations to fund libraries, the arts, and other cultural institutions. Certainly they don't give a good goddamn about taste. David Rubenstein is like a billionaire woolly mammoth in that regard

the left is also going to get the olympics in the national divorce it seems, while the conservatives will retain [checks notes] jake paul, rob schneider & catturd

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.

New Muppet Show yet again confirms the unassailability of the “puppets scrambling to put on a little show” format

Bill Ackman's fund, Pershing Square, manages 18 billion dollars for wealthy clients, billions of it for the Harvard Endowment Anyways here he is uncritically eating up conspiracy slop from Naomi Wolf about stolen NYC elections

There were two elections I was watching yesterday—and both ended up as clear Democratic wins. Let's recap for those who weren't glued on here last night. 1️⃣ In Louisiana, Dems very easily held a seat that had gone for Trump by 13 percentage points in 2024.

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere. (Plus resources and my must-reads list!)

Black artists seek greater presence at Zona Maco - The Washington Informer

I laid this out a year ago, 2 months into the 47’s administration after Black academics were telling me they were losing funding and opportunities and were seeking closed spaces to organize. I waited a year. 47’s administration started killing citizens in broad daylight.

both solid competitors but after "Someone accustomed to burlap is different from someone who wears silk" you have to give this round to Blazer Unc

Primary every Democrat who won’t fight to abolish ICE. Every one.

“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said. “You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’” www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-02...

They're removing any informational signs from Big Bend National Park that are in Spanish & English or talk about cooperation with Mexico. They want to ensure Spanish-speakers can't learn about nature at a national park on the US/Mexico border. One originally conceived as a Peace Park with Mexico.

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.” Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

2026. Nestlé still hasn't tightened up their quality control. Formula sold in UK found with cereulide, "a highly stable, heat-resistant toxin that causes rapid-onset food poisoning (vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain) within 30 minutes to 6 hrs of ingestion. It is especially dangerous for infants."

MY KIDS: so why are there muppets in the AUDIENCE ME: THE CONCEIT!! IS THAT THEY'RE PUTTING ON A VARIETY SHOW!!! IN A WORLD WHERE MUPPET AND HUMAN COEXIST!!! YOU ARE WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY!! FILMED!! IN REAL TIME!!!

"Hey I'm going back to the dildo box, I just had the idea to juggle them" Cameraman who would later be arrested after singing "FASCIST DILDO CLEANUP CREW DOO DAH DOO DAH": @ckinferno.bsky.social But don't ask him questions, he won't say shit ✊ (posted with permission)

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

His GoFundMe is here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-le... - I donated a few days ago.

I keep thinking about Botstein’s enraged insistence that he only did what MUST be done to raise funds to save his college. Yes! Child rape is NOT important if one small college might still exist. No red lines - Ted Bundy would be worth befriending too if rich! (OR…who cares about rape?)

Hard to overstate the extent to which Leon Botstein’s personal scorn for feminist anti-rape politics permeated Bard College’s culture while I was there. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Gonna continue this train and talk about another black creator that means a lot to me. Dwayne McDuffie. One of the founders of Milestone comics which was the first comic book universe that featured black and POC characters and of course Static Shock. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_...

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."
