ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME BLUESKY

BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group has demonstrated its concept for a hotel room surrounded by hundreds of birdhouses. 350 birdhouses of various sizes emerge from the cubic construction, forming a spherical cloud surrounding the space. Location: Lapland, Sweden

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

In a bulletin to law enforcement agencies, the FBI said criminal impersonators are exploiting ICE’s image and urged nationwide coordination to distinguish real operations from fakes.

Norah O'Donnell has always been awful. How she doesn't ask "why he got pardon if you don't know who he is" is criminal journalism malpractice.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

is this good

In response to the Washington Post defending Trump’s bulldozing the East Wing of the WH, I canceled my subscription to the paper I’ve read since growing up in Northern Virginia.

The Algonquin Round Table were drunks and Communists but it’s important that we in the podcast community honor them as the first podcasters. Intermittently funny, jobs that let them dick around all afternoon, no audience to speak of. 🫡

Well, well, well. There's always a post.

Johnson sure has time to do lots of media interviews.

This is unacceptable.

So Qatar gets NATO Article 5 level protection, but Ukraine does not? This is raw corruption in action.

“Just one more thing. You said the Epstein files were a Democratic hoax—cooked up by Obama, Hillary, and Biden. But here’s the part I can’t figure out: you were a confidential FBI informant on the Epstein case. So tell me, how exactly did the Democrats get you to spy on a hoax?”

RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS: If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail. But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

I don’t care if Clinton is in the Epstein files. I don’t care if any Democrats are on the client list. I don’t care if any progressives are on the client list... You know why? Because I'm not in a cult. Prosecute them ALL!

In honor of today's Supreme Court decision

So LM get this straight… Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for trafficking girls to… nobody? No client list, even though AG Pam Bondi literally said it was sitting on her desk. 2,000 names in the little black book, but the court sealed it and the media shut up.

Tulsi Gabbard, who is now our Director of National Intelligence, previously met with a state sponsor of terrorists and a dictator who wants to terrorize America. Tulsi Gabbard reveals she met Assad in Syria, without informing top Democrats | Democrats | The Guardian share.google/fdkH8G0ITUY2...

6/21, Los Angeles: A neighborhood volunteer documenting ICE was stopped by agents in an unmarked car, surrounded, and threatened by masked agents while they filmed him on their phones.

The Dems really, really, *really* need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.

A free lifetime supply of everything to the first journalist who just flat out asks Trump if Stephen Miller is the president.

Imagine if Woodward and Bernstein had been punished for called out Nixon. Imagine if The NY Times did not publish the Pentagon Papers, we would not know anything about continued involvement in Vietnam. Faux News slammed on Joe Biden daily and no one said dick about it! Shame on you ABC News!!!!

Terry Moran told the truth.

ABC News "We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew," an ABC spokesperson says. I’m at the end with ABC !

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

So 🧊 terrorists can wear masks but not peaceful protesters. Got it.

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again." (No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
