Paris prosecutors raid France offices of Elon Musk’s X – Europe live www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... VIVA LA FRANCE!

Please join @kitgonzo.bsky.social, @blackshuckbooks.bsky.social and myself at chapel as we discuss Sons of Anarchy, series 5. youtu.be/YarNAuQL9-s?...

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

Welcome to hell.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Statement from United Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) General President Mark McManus

You’ll recall Dominic Cummings told that committee that Tory PRs could tell the BBC and ITV basically anything, no matter how plainly absurd it was, and their senior correspondents would read it out live on air as urgent breaking news

I stated weeks ago the autopsy would have final say. And, it appears it will. This is all a prosecutor needs. They don't even need any of the video that has been aired in the court of public opinion. We know who fired the shot. We know the fatal shot was from the side. ME should rule it Murder.

It was inevitable.

I try to avoid hyperbole when it comes to Trump policies, but this is absolutely frickin’ insane—on about eleventy different levels. Massive, systemic Fourth Amendment violations because … reasons.

With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

A tribute band so powerful it feels like a séance. Black Sabbitch's live album "Unrest in the West" doesn't mimic Sabbath, it resurrects the raw, dangerous heart of the Ozzy era. Essential listening for the void he left gnofhorror.com/black-sabbit... @iommi.com #BlackSabbath #BlackSabbitch

Well, let’s note that British politicians have developed an astonishing number of huge blind spots in the 21st century, and most of them involve very rich and well-connected Americans and their proxies committing absolutely egregious crimes, without bothering to hide it.

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

House Speaker Mike Johnson apparently doesn’t understand how our justice system works. He said if Fed Chair Jerome Powell is innocent, “then he can prove that.” No, Mikey, he doesn’t need to prove he’s innocent. His accusers need to prove he’s guilty.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I feel like this is extremely relevant again Not “this was not self-defense” but “this was murder” Not “she didn’t run the ICE agent over” but “she was murdered while trying to drive away”

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Make it viral.

This is correct, seen from afar: a big problem identified in the BLM period was regular, intensive police sweeps of poor and black areas to search and arrest people at random for whatever minor offences could be found, a thing the cops do not do in richer, whiter areas. This looks like expansion.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history. Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

You wanted ruthless bastards who would uphold this system of American military dominance and stomp its critics to oblivion, lads. You spent years demanding it! Here it is: exactly what you ordered, more successful than you could possibly have imagined.

Part 1 talks about @kitgonzo.bsky.social, @nkjemisin.bsky.social, @toddkeisling.com, Tim Powers, and Mike Ennenbach - more to come! Thanks to @candacenola.bsky.social and the Uncomfortably Dark fam for hosting! www.uncomfortablydark.com/post/12-30-2...

Again: they thought they’d win a shattering court victory with the Harry Potter lady’s money, then the public would rise up in gratitude, salute them as heroes and stomp all over transgender people on their behalf. That hasn’t happened, because the public mostly aren’t vicious cranks, like they are.

It's NOT A.I. Stop calling it A.I. It's not 'branding'. It's a fucking lie. Do not perpetuate it. They are Large Language Models (LLMs),not A.I. Refuse to be part of the bullshit Insist on accurate usage of terms. Framing matters. Framing is crucial. *Never* concede to a bullshit framing.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't nirvana, soundgarden, pearl jam, or alice in chains.

“the president seems to be using the doj to hide his years of involvement with the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history” feels like a story worth reporting on

Very pleased to have paid out over $1600 in royalties to the contributors of 120 Murders after only eight months despite (and partially thanks to*) utterly ignoring Amazon as a sales venue. *Direct sales from the Ruadan website doubled royalties.

Books I’ve read (and loved) in 2025. An ongoing post and in no particular order … @kitgonzo.bsky.social

NGL I've been watching this for the last 3 minutes on a loop and I'm still finding it beautiful. Maybe even art. Enjoy

Did you enjoy Jake Paul being knocked out last night? Check out Andrew Tate being battered by an utter novice in "Misfits" (an influencer promotion) boxing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmTr...

Do you notice how, the higher the evidence stacks up that our ruling class is basically just a gaggle of coercive arse-grabbers covering up for each other, the more extreme their terror of foreign sex criminals and transgenders lurking in toilet cubicles grows

@kitgonzo.bsky.social Brings you what could be the deepest breakdown of King Sorrow by Joe Hill "elite category of writers who can keep me turning the pages not merely past bedtime but past the point of physical exhaustion." gnofhorror.com/a-response-t... #Books

Way to kill your entire fucking brand, wow

Going into 2026 like

"We are not to blame, For seeing love is pain, And we are not ashamed, To say that love is pqin, And we'll do it again..." Word the fuck up, #JoanJett

What does it mean, if the national equality body aggressively pursues discrimination; if the energy regulator rubber-stamps huge price hikes; if the water authority does nothing about shit in the rivers and the press regulator occasionally ticks off a newspaper? What is the purpose of “regulation”.

The public inquiry into the Iraq War was as damning as it’s possible to be within this system. The parliamentary report on Libya tore the government a new arse. Both of them were instantly thrown in the bin and never mentioned again, in favour of inviting the culprits on TV and giving them peerages.

The 2010s opened with a televised public inquiry into the crimes and malfeasance of the tabloids. It ended with the same papers hounding the PM’s neighbours for phoning the police at 2 am during his drunken, plate-smashing argument with his wife. It’s only got much worse than that since.

cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

Pfft. Try more than 60...

The kids are fine. The society we are gifting them is fucked.
