to be a bit serious one irony of vance’s life is that he is also an addict: addicted to power and clearly willing to sell anything to get it

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Nothing like praising AI surveillance at a press conference for an unsolved case of a missing person disappearing under millions of dollars of AI surveillance.

The social compact has been broken by the USPS, and it's going badly for the country.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

For real though some language in these agreements for basically eminent domain/public ownership if the developer data center company goes bankrupt, that would be cool

"The Republican-controlled chamber approved the $1.2tn appropriations measure by a 217-214 vote, with all but 21 Republicans voting in favor and all but 21 Democrats against. " Minority party keyfabe. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Nobody’s going to bother to primary Mark Warner, huh?

There’s literally a straight line between Trump, Epstein, and the retaliatory lawsuits against women who came forward with allegations against celebrity men like Amber Heard and Blake Lively. They all even have the same PR folks. And yet people still refuse to see it

ice is killing americans and democrats are still voting for trump's nominees

Hey want to help the whistle goblins I print with make more whistles? There are approximately eleventy-billion wishlists here with filament begging to be bought and turned into whistles to deploy to across the country. Buy some filament and help the cause: linktr.ee/WhistleWishl...

I read thousands of pages of Epstein files this weekend trying to understand what he wanted out of his meeting with 4chan's Christopher Poole. Here's everything we know about Epstein's plans to dismantle the internet and, eventually, democracy. www.garbageday.email/p/here-s-how...

A great last substack post from my friends at @arizonaagenda.bsky.social. I texted Hank endlessly about substack, probably too much and beyond the bounds of amiable colleagues. But all’s well that ends well: I’ll be glad to use my next paycheck to resubscribe. open.substack.com/pub/arizonaa...

I feel (sadly) vindicated in my long-held feeling that Picketty’s “Capital” was taken by the worst people as a guidebook

Very excited to say that 404 Media's zine about ICE Surveillance is here. If you ordered a print copy, I put it in the mail last week. If not, we of course think the info inside is very important so here's a free PDF. We also translated it into Spanish: www.404media.co/icezine/

I had an honest to goodness nightmare about Wordpress gutenberg block editor

a truly generational chart crime... (plus one I made for comparison)

My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis. This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

Since a lot of the coverage is omitting this detail: The Kennedy Center HAD a $250 million renovation and expansion just a few years ago, in 2019.

If this headline isn’t the perfect summary of the evil, incompetence and pure disdain for children shown by this administration not sure what is… www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...

Why in the world of facial recognition databases and chanbot csam generators are you posting childhood photos on here as a chain letter?

MGM is the Amazon Basics of movies now.

Was there no superbowl today or did my mute filters work extremely well?

My main takeaway of the Pretti assassin name leaks is they’re both long term veterans of 12 and 8 years respectively They weren’t six month new hires Tear down all of DHS

We don’t owe them anything. They spent a decade ignoring obvious evidence implicating the most guilty while fabricating insane accusations against the innocent.

Last year, we launched a web app to assist trans people with legal name changes. Today, we’re removing the login wall and registration requirements and making everything publicly accessible.

excited about this update, gonna nerd out for a sec: not only does this remove a big barrier for users (no more login required!) — but by moving more of our logic client-side and relying on web standards, it *significantly* reduces our number of dependencies

i just can't get over how much bad shit we're learning has been connected to epstein and his circle this whole time. the culture war, the demonization of trans women, /pol/, even the rise of microtransactions in games?? all of it connects to mr. pedophile island??? lazy fucking villain writing

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

It's so maddening to see our Oakland school district scrambling to find $100 mil needed to meaningfully educate our children at the same time Oakland police officers are exposed as scamming us for $100+ mils in overtime.

Now that TikTok has been taken over by Trump's hand-picked group of investors headed by far-right mega-donor Larry Ellison, users are being blocked from typing the world "Epstein" and video uploads of ICE brutality are being blocked. Ellison is doing to TikTok what he did to CBS.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds

1) Fuck ICE, and 2) in our ongoing pursuit of a more just, more dignified, more joyful, and better future, @jlappen1.bsky.social and I are really proud of our new piece in Science on managing fossil fuel phase-out www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I’m not going to be able to make this point well, but it’s specifically messing with me that Epstein referred to 23-year-old moot as an all-caps “KID” while pretending to pretend that the minors he trafficked were adults.

100% recommend this

On August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville. On August 17, 2017, Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner that antifa was “a gift to the far right”. In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.

honestly not in a million years would i have called this

I hate when patterns actually conform to the shapes conspiracy theorists imagine.

I regret so much that this tracks

I hate that this is all just easy to piece together from this guy's poorly-spelled emails

Gonna be the rugpull of all time

OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in. *Reads:* "What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?"
