ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN The Bezos Cut: Woodward: We're following the money. Bernstein: The trail leads all the way to the Oval Office. Bradlee: Sorry, investigative staff is sacked. Clear out your desks. THE END

As a actor and dancer, Leni Riefenstahl struggled to expand her reach...

Speaking as a lifelong Democrat: That's not what we want, you dumb fuck

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.

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.

This will be a nice change of pace from all the smart and funny people you usually see on the Daily Show.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

This guy is such a wiener

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

This is such a MAGA-era conservative thing. I'm already in like 3 public databases just for doing legal work right wing idiots don't like.

MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

I don't read *everything* but I haven't see a serious "Crockett is more electable" or "Crockett would help more downballot" take. The impulse is for this "oh, I see, Dems want the WHITE MAN" stuff that was already moldy in 2020.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

Jeffries is such a coward. Just take the position that ICE isn’t legitimate law enforcement and stop being such a spineless bitch. No one cares how much eggs cost when the elderly are being torn out of their homes in their fucking underwear, you dip shit.

I'm not sure the author of this piece ever worked a service job before, because getting the authority to say "get the fuck out right now" to a visitor that's annoying the shit out of people is one of the rare joys of a service job

holy fuck it’s real

Imagine loudly saying “hey do you see ICE brutalizing people? That’s where your healthcare subsidies went” which is the easiest possible thing to say. Not even controversial

the replies to this post are a fantastic example of what i call “bluesky derangement syndrome”

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

This guy here is dead 👇

Throughout 2024, I spoke with a number of Republicans who believed (and seriously worried) that Democrats would do the same thing if they lost in November. They didn’t, because the lunatics on the left are online weirdos, and the lunatics on the right are controlling all 3 branches of US government.

In 2009 and 2013, DC made some special Obama inauguration metro cards. Very popular in a city where he got 90% of vote. Rs complained that they wouldn't do the same for Trump in 2017. Cut to: Making people who want national park passes get Trump cards www.wmata.com/about/news/p...

Strongly worded letter incoming but it needs some tweaks, so maybe next week.

Let’s take a look at the news on this wonderful Saturday morning [opens the news app] Nevermind. Let’s go look at r/farts

I feel for the people who post their selfies and discover, instantly, weirdos using grok to pornify them. Had a hunch where this was going in 2021 and stopped posting pics of myself/any pics/details about family. But if you're, say, a cosplayer who can benefit from a big audience, you're screwed.

Fwiw, I was on that listserv. (I haven’t been for years.) The article cherry-picks quotes, ignoring those of us who pushed back. And the idea that it orchestrated anything is just wrong.

Here is the editor of Tablet agreeably reposting someone calling nonwhite NYC immigrants "worthless biotrash." It's astonishing how quickly this stuff has escaped containment

I went to all 10 of the daycares Nick Shirley featured in his viral video. I got inside 4 and found children. Lots of children: www.startribune.com/day-care-fra...

AH DAMN

Well look at this! Hope everyone’s having a good Christmas.

The Post was around 50% as deranged in its de Blasio coverage, but he didn’t come into office with the massive outside force that Mamdani is bringing. Gonna be a test of the paper’s influence; it beats him up every second but he’s got a posse saying “shut the fuck up.”

Journalists posting screenshots of the Epstein docs should not crop out the control number in the bottom right corner. These docs are not an "exclusive," you don't have to make it harder for people to find and validate the original information.

I always knew that Esquire was a very smart magazine www.esquire.com/entertainmen...

This could’ve been an email.

Let's do the fucking [file not found]

Neil Druckmann needs to be removed from the industry yesterday, holy fuck

Banning medical care for trans kids doesn’t stop them from being trans. It just makes their lives into a horrible nightmare.

That's the thing! A report published during the slowest news period of the year would be dissected then forgotten. Now the report could leak and be 10x more interesting at a time when Dems can't control it.
