SHE DID THE THING Also, I love a tribute to Italians talking with their hands.

Yesterday folks asked me who is keeping track of the invasion prosecutions. Here, @brittnymejia.bsky.social profiles the Federal Public Defenders who keep kicking Bill Essayli's fanny in LA. www.latimes.com/california/s...

NEW: Huge cheers earlier for the Ukrainian athletes at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony. Then huge BOOS as JD Vance comes on the big screen in the stadium. Even the commentators can’t hide it…

I hope at least one Olympics spectator gets the chance to tell Usha that her husband hates her, her family, and their children. It would be better if it was a thousand, but one would be nice.

I'm sure Vance was furious to see who was carrying the flag.

That’s right, give him hell.

She was dumb as dogshit to do that and we should still be mad at her for it.

There could have been two Bococks on the team, but her sister didn't make it this time.

Can't remember the cycle, but I'll never forget the racist ad he cut about China.

Kind of silly to criticize the most swing state-specific thing about the campaign when the shift toward Trump was smallest in swing states

This is fundamentally dishonest and you should feel bad.

This Wurman quote too hits the brain like a horse's hoof. Why on earth would a resident alien subject to criminal jurisdiction be denied access to civil courts? And why would that matter as long as Congress had the _ability_ to keep them in civil jurisdiction?

The more judicial knives in the presumption of regularity the better

They are not several orders of magnitude safer. You can say they're on par if you want, but nobody not issuing company PR would claim this.

Still too soon

The B1G expansion has really got out of hand.

I do like seeing this phrased in professional responsibility terms:

hard to tell how bernie lost those primaries with luminaries like these in his corner

They correctly realized that the swing states were tied and that they needed to pitch to every conceivable angle. Bipartisan campaign endorsements are a thing as old as time. This is the most tired and pathetic piece of angst out there. The whole thing was about how Trump was a threat to democracy.

Yet another economic hit for an event that's desperate to have cold and snowy enough winters to function as normal. It has that this year (snow is piled high the region) and now it has Trump's racist crackdown threatening it.

A reminder for the folks around UF and Gainesville --> Two confirmed measles cases on campus www.gainesville.com/story/news/h...

Sure would be nice if law enforcement would enforce the damn laws rather than enable and protect the law breakers

I bet Katie Britt can't stop thinking about that racist post, even as she supports every single racist thing this racist regime does

[Deep sigh] the dementia didn't make trump racist, he was always racist. The dementia is fucking with his behavioral filters, which is also why hes gotten way more profane in public lately. Happens all the time!

He’s going to be gone and the play is that they hope it’ll help midterm turnout that they seated a 37 year old to replace him.

And wonderful to see the staff at the albatross center taking such good care of them. Here, egg-weighing time. Which gives you a sense of scale for these massive, beautiful birds.

Seeing these two headlines side-by-side is really something

Yes. If MacKenzie Scott won't stake a non-profit newsroom and Bezos won't offload to the same, there's a model right there:

Except they weren't. Her campaign was broadly effective--it just started in such a deep hole that it didn't win. You're just a wrecker nihlist.

She was dumb as dogshit to do that and we should still be mad at her for it.

Oh man it would be so awful if Vance got utterly and mercilessly booed at the opening ceremonies. I sure hope this request goes to everyone who will be in attendance.

This story published shortly after the Post laid off the author, ace cybersecurity reporter Joe Menn, along with the majority of our colleagues on the tech team and hundreds of others across the organization. Like so many others, this was Joe's dream job, and he was very, very good at it.

oh I'm sure everybody will listen to this request

UPDATED: Wisconsin's labor secretary tells @erikgunn.bsky.social a string of complaints about the company's Burger Kings sparked "a very deep-dive, intensive audit about their practices as it relates to employing minors here in the state of Wisconsin.” wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/02/06/s...

I love the Muppets. My kids do too. Make a thousand of these.

They haven’t even looked into trying the one, old and tired, business strategy that would work: Being a tough national newspaper. People would pay for that. Bezos decided to turn on American democracy instead. They could’ve bought time and stemmed the losses by leaning into being tough on Trump.

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

The CIA World Factbook was such an amazing revelation for geriatric Millennials like me. It's demise is part of the Trump administration's war on information—on assault not just on truth but on basic data www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

These are all people the feds claim have assaulted ice/cbp guys

I don’t like to romanticize the past but I think society was better when we shunned child molesters rather than make them president

Is your brewery a former hockey stick and ski factory? No. Then you're not doing it right .

unlikely we'll see another op-ed like this in the post anytime soon

How is there no repro of this than I can easily buy?

THREAD: Let’s talk about Roni, the outstanding raccoon mascot of the 1980 Winter Olympics …

The no hangover pills don't work, either.

"praying it was fake" what does that mean? It's literally right there on his truth social account and the White House press secretary defended it on the record?
