It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon that the lawyers representing Brett Kavanaugh in his confirmation hearing should accuse Christine Blasey Ford of being on medications that cause false memories or memory loss.

Epstein was obviously the story of the day but it’s wild that we got confirmation the CIA was engaged in biological warfare in Afghanistan for at least a decade

What makes people furious is of course how the NYT uses its own wide discretion about what to pursue, what to beat the drum on, when to have qualms about running with something, and when to just put it out there. There’s the rules, and then there’s the rules about when you apply the rules.

credit to Larry Summers, doing the “you can’t even hit on women anymore” thing while talking to a full pedophile is next level stuff

SCOOP: In text messages sent in 2017, Jeffrey Epstein appears to position himself as a middleman between president Donald Trump’s administration and Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates. He seemingly represents himself as passing on information directly from Trump to Gates through an intermediary.

Michael Wolff tried to buy New York Mag — with money from Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein. So Wolff didn't just have a reporter-source relationship with Epstein. Nor was Wolff his informal PR adviser. They saw each other as potential business partners. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well "We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

appearing in my 2011 dorm to tell my collegiate self that “the syrian revolution ends with an al-qaeda operative currently in american custody letting the guy from the apprentice build an airbase outside damascus because they’re the presidents now”

This @skynewsrss.bsky.social analysis confirms that X's algorithm is blatantly boosting far-right content If you are still posting or engaging there, you are volunteering your time and effort towards actively assisting a racist, white supremacist project STOP ALREADY news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

The teen social media ban hasn't begun but already Australians have been exposed in a social media platform's ID breach. The privacy commissioner says it "goes to many of the concerns that Australians already hold about the looming age assurance scheme." www.crikey.com.au/20...

This is one of those inconvenient truths: it’s a lot easier for various well-paid strategists and pundits to advise “stop saying Latinx” (a non-issue) versus “substantively change the media environment and people’s online consumption habits”

Bari Weiss makes a clean sweep, firing all women, Blacks and Hispanics in high-profile positions at CBS News. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It is almost impossible to have a coherent response to govt's plans for digital ID because it keeps changing its mind about what it's for. With Darren Jones at the helm, the new plan is to use it to "shut down the legacy state" www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

remember when elon musk was still in government and DOGE still active and they pretended for like a week rampent social security fraud was happening, and then it turned out they just didn’t understand that databases would include people who passed away and we never heard about this “fraud” again lol

BREAKING: NACC Commissioner finally bows to public pressure and steps aside from all defence-related corruption referrals. This is a major-general backdown from Commissioner Brereton who, up until now, tried to stare down the growing public revolt over the conflicts of interest.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over? Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen. www.ft.com/content/4855...

I mean, we can’t have all our police just going around investigating crimes

Yes. newrepublic.com/article/2011...

One of the many things @ninalakhani.bsky.social does so well is show the very real, very now cost of climate change at the most human level. This story is devastatingly good: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife

Lankford was in the Senate when the Intelligence Committee wrote its giant report concluding that Russiagate was not a hoax, and it's criminal negligence by CNN to let him say this on air with no pushback.

Another Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter leader has been outed as a neo-nazi and member of violent white supremacist organizations Patriot Front and Active Club.

there are good & worthwhile historical & legal arguments for why the unitary executive is nonsense but to my mind the most straightforward argument is that it makes no logical sense that the president has absolute removal power over the people whose job it is to keep the executive branch accountable

It is grimly amusing that Australia’s second largest Defence acquisition deal ($46bn!) was referred to the NACC - for good reason - but the Commissioner won’t look at it bc he’s still a ranking ADF officer. Readers will be astonished that this referral two yrs ago has yielded nothing yet.

Amazon's big server might be down but that doesn't mean I can't post my charts showing how fundamentally bonkers their energy consumption and associated emissions are :) Fun fact: 2 years ago they stopped sharing their total electrical energy consumption, cool!!! ketanjoshi.co/data-sharing/

the year is 2030. a doctor solemnly informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people persuaded by celebrity marketing bought synthetic pubic hairs that were eventually consumed by fish that you ate

More than 30 outlets have returned their Pentagon press passes, including AP, Bloomberg, Politico, The Atlantic, Guardian, NYT, WSJ, WP, Reuters, CNN ... Even RW outlets like Fox and Newsmax, favoured by Trump. #USPolitics #freepress #chaos aje.io/l89s8e

NEW for @washingtonpost.com: Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy. @nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

I wrote this back in June www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Having thought about this overnight a little, I reckon anyone over 21 should have to prove they are of age on Snapchat. Coz honestly no adult should be on that platform.

Fairfax posting pics of every Israeli released hostage - while released Palestinians aren’t allowed to speak to the press - is very lopsided coverage

perfect bluesky reply thank you

going viral here is worse than it used to be on twitter because half of the replies will just be pure pedantry

Ever have one of those days where the universe seems to send down a challenge addressed to you specifically? I have been awake since 2am with gastro. My son woke two hours ago covered in vomit. Having finally got him back to bed, I somehow gave myself a fat lip by dropping my phone on my face?

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

I mean I am pretty sceptical about this ban, but if any platform qualifies for inclusion it’s Snapchat!

Didn't even have the bottle to stick with changes to super that affected only the wealthiest 0.5%.

Record of the Day: James Taylor’s Sweet Baby James. I have been cultivating this record for many years, and thanks to the kindness of @juliadassin.bsky.social, it is finally in our rotation. Thank you very much for parting with this record, Julia. The fidelity is top notch 🙏❤️🎶

“The fact that doctors don't generally recognize that mold exposure in indoor air is causing chronic health issues is insane.” So respiratory illnesses *can* be transmitted by airborne pathogens. Interesting, interesting. 🤔

Might watch First Wives Club tonight in remembrance. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

The history books having to explain cartoon frog = fascist, inflatable frog = anti-fascist…

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.
