NEW from @pewresearch.org: Federal grand juries have been taking the extremely unusual step of declining indictments sought by the DOJ. How unusual? While recent data isn't available, it only happened ~15 times a year nationwide between 2007 and 2016.

If you can sign up in your district to be a poll worker, do. It’s more important than ever. You can help protect someone’s right to vote.

So they’re going to outlaw data brokers, right? Right…?

That’s not what this says. This was a new incident around Fort Hancock, 50 miles from El Paso that did not disrupt commercial air travel. The El Paso incident two weeks ago was CBP shooting at a balloon and they didn’t even hit it.

I’m less afraid the Paramount media consolidation with succeed in beaming fascist brain worms into more American households than I am of them killing film and television by being bad at art on a much larger scale.

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

Things that should have prevented any political career and sent the subject fleeing into the mountains.

Yesterday I was trying to formulate a joke around the whole Einstein AI app thing about a $60K university degree for people who don’t want to go to class so it’s just a sweater and piece of paper that says like I almost tried. And then they just went and made it real.

The USDA proposed a rule to allow meat plants for pork and poultry to increase the speed of the kills lines that process chicken, turkey, and pork.

The squatty potty inventor was indicted and arrested after an undercover FBI agent infiltrated a group chat. Later a search warrant turned up additional images and videos on his personal devices. My apologies to those reading this on a squatty potty.

Since yesterday, the Einstein AI cheatbot website underwent some rebranding. The tagline changed from "Einstein does the busywork so you don't have to," to "Einstein is the personal tutor every student deserves." In the FAQ, "How does Einstein do all this?" became "How does Einstein help me learn?"

The USDA is selling its flagship South Building office hub on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and relocating employees to other locations across the country by the end of the year. The admin has been fixated on gutting federal agencies from DC real estate since trump 1.0.

They are going to kill people in the name of preventing fraud. This is trying to save the patient by cutting off the head.

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

“The criminal complaint allegs that an audit of the Flock logs found that Ayala used Flock cameras to track his girlfriend’s location 124 times and her ex-boyfriend’s 55 times from late March to late May, 2025.“ The initial victim learned of the surveillance from haveibeenflocked.com

NASA astronaut Mike Fincke revealed it was his medical event that prompted the medevac from the ISS and aborted a spacewalk. The exact condition was not explained but NASA had determined advanced imaging not available onboard was necessary. Astronauts undergo extensive med evals before flight.

“He acknowledged to the dispatcher that he was planning to get out of his vehicle. The dispatcher interjected. ‘Why? You can drive away. We have officers en route to you,’ the dispatcher said. ‘I don’t want you guys getting into any more of a dispute.’”

It’s basically a prerequisite for employment in the regime.

"You missed me" When you're white and in Central Park, the NYPD will play along with your snowball fight. When you're brown and in Washington Square Park you get thrown to the ground, investigations begin, kids are called adults, and snow is called ice.

“Kyle Langford, a far-right Republican candidate best known for inflammatory antisemitic comments praising Nazis. Langford has since dropped out and launched a campaign styled as a progressive Democrat in California’s 26th district.”

“Police arrested a man for a burglary in a city he had never visited after face scanning software deployed across the UK confused him with another person of south Asian heritage.”

ACOG’s letter on leaving ACIP is scathing: “In recent months, ACIP has ignored peer-reviewed reports on vaccine safety; shared presentations containing cherry-picked data without appropriate scientific context; and unilaterally changed the … vaccine schedule without regard to expert input”

The right is obsessed with birth rate and population decline but all I can think about is how at this rate the most technologically advanced generation in human history will have to rely on the elder care of the most undereducated and deskilled generations since the invention of the television.

Leaked documents reveal that Meta has blocked its AI chatbot from discussing topics including abortion with minors—a blanket policy that contrasts sharply with the firm's handling of child sexual exploitation claims.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

Anyway. The only good guy hockey is Canadian gay hockey, is what we’ve learned.

Don’t bother me unless it happens

NEW: Among many other things (obviously), the Epstein files release revealed what Google turns over in response to US subpoenas. @regret.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/heres-...

“Delgado would also use the funds for personal expenditures, including the purchase of residential properties in Windemere, Winter Park, Kissimmee and Sanford that were each worth between $1.15 million and $8.5 million, court documents show.”

The GOP FL Senate has advanced a bill to expand exemptions to school vaccine mandates still required by state law.

These guys hate each other: “‘I’ve seen sufficient abuses of power among at least one unelected Cabinet member to give me grave concerns about the abuse of a bill like to go into statute,’ he said — a reference to Florida AG James Uthmeier, whom Andrade says has abused his power in office.”

“The Director's misplaced priorities and poor management of the FBI's resources—including its aircraft—also harmed the FBI's ability to respond to the shooting at Brown University on December 13, 2025.” W/alt text:

Discord now says they will delay age verification until later this year while they make some updates to how they verify, including using credit cards, and other policies around verification.

Remember a few days ago, when Trump announced he was deploying a hospital ship to Greenland? And he added a bunch of exclamation points? He isn’t actually deploying the ship. The larger arc: There’s no meaningful connection between what he says he’s going to do and what he actually does.

MAGA lawmakers are calling for Rep. Tony Gonzales to resign after the release of disturbing sexual texts he sent to one of his staffers, who later lit herself on fire. House Speaker Mike Johnson is holding back as the GOP clings to a slim majority.

In this thread I explained how the new public corruption investigation unit is linked to the Hope Florida scandal and the DeSantis AG’s expanding web of corruption and that retribution against House Republicans who wronged him/his boss were imminent. And here they come:

Backlash continues to work surprisingly well on some parts of this administration when there’s attention on them. Unfortunately it works not at all on killing random people at sea or on the street or in concentration camps.

I showed my husband this video and he cocooned himself.

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.
