this is gonna be a long list

My friend’s daughter is still missing! Please share!

Trump is like the worst of the internet governing, while Mamdani is like the best (or maybe least objectionable) of the internet governing.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

JFC. Fuck this asshole forever.

"Munchausen by Nazi" really captures the moment. Well done.

"might be"?

As they say, a hit dog hollers.... www.rawstory.com/trump-267490...

The Mandalorian mispronouncing nautical terms: This is the Quay.

I admit, I remain a bit wary of China as a political actor, but I don't see how this can be a bad thing.

I am an old man now, and it's entirely possible I am forgetting something, but I don't recall James Carville ever winning an election without a third party causing chaos. Here he is overpromising (and likely underdelivering): www.rawstory.com/2026-midterm...

I don't know who needs this reminder at this point, but apparently some do: Roger Waters is awful. You may agree with him on some particular issue. He is still completely awful.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Ruin a band by changing one letter: The Grateful Dean

They really expect something to happen soon.

I fucking hate the entire Trump Administration. I hope they all get what they deserve. Greenland minister tearful as she describes ‘intense pressure’ of Trump’s threats to take territory www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

The actual journalists left at @cbsnews.com wanted to do journalism and not report things they can't verify, but Bari Weiss said, "Nah I like this story, so I want you to report it like it's a confirmed fact." As widely noted, this is not how you do "news." www.rawstory.com/bari-weiss-c...

Color me unsurprised that Matt Damon has a completely unrealistic view of jail time and its effects.... www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/mat...

Just in: House Ethics Committee is investigating Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C. Reason undisclosed. Will find out more by March 2. Typically, announcements like this mean the nonpartisan Office of Congressional Conduct has found "substantial reason to believe" a lawmaker has violated an ethics rule.

Stephen Miller wants Bill Shatner in charge of Star Trek. The guy who, when he was in charge, created Star Trek V. Far from the greatest of Miller's sins, but also not the least of them. www.thedailybeast.com/stephen-mill...

It underscores Mark Zuckerberg fucking sucks at literally everything he does and his company is a harmful burning pile of burning cash and donkey piss the press helps pretend is remotely interesting and innovative

Camille Zapata is one of the women behind Newsom’s socials www.calonews.com/featured-top...

He's sundowning awfully early these days

I mean, if I could be guaranteed an Empress Björk, then maybe I could be persuaded

Saw a lot of headlines saying "wikipedia is embracing ai" being tossed around tabloids, and I'm pretty sure they were maliciously written to make you feel a certain way about Wikipedia. What's actually happening is that wikipedia is demanding payment for data scraping and the corpos don't like that.

And a thousand law school exam questions were born....

This is really it: the civil war is here, in its brand new modern incarnation

Well this seems almost too on-the-nose

This was my first thought when I saw the Trump Ozempic story: he tried it himself and still ate three meals at a time from McDonald's www.rawstory.com/trump-ozempi...

The kind of medical tourism I don't often think about:

Three generations of law professors making history up is enough. Scholars spend decades researching and writing history with nuance and care. American law professors will take a couple of months to relearn all of science to explain why the world is, in fact, flat.

Maybe she was bad-mouthing Türkiye?

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

The weird UFO news is, for today, outclassing the old-school prestige outlets.... www.rawstory.com/karoline-lea...

gotta say, the extremely bad sexual behavior by a number of women in positions of power recently is making me feel somewhat better about the thesis that power is the problem, not masculinity

Uhh..wow. Krysten Sinema, did you really have to drag Green Day into your tawdriness?

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Well this is some unmitigated bullshit. "It's not a war if it is lopsided enough."

If you're not already following Ms. Jedeed, this should be your sign to change that.

Check it out! @democracynow.org www.democracynow.org/2026/1/14/la...

Laura Jedeed on applying for a job with ICE: "I expected them to Google me, and they didn't ... they sent me a final job offer ... what's disturbing is we don't know who is wearing these masks with guns in our city. We don't know if they have domestic violence convictions."

new rose garden sign is giving "kitchen nightmares"

US attack imminent, in other words

Treaties, per Article VI of the Constitution, are the supreme law of the land. Were there a command to attack a NATO ally, that would strike me as an absolutely clear example of an illegal order that the armed forces should refuse to carry out.

I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

Dignity, thy name is Trump

Here's my pet theory: Trump ha some health issue, and knows his time is limited. In whatever time he has left, he is both trying to (1) make sure he is remembered; but also (2) to grift enough money to make himself the world's richest man. I think he sees Venezuelan oil as a big piece of that.

Hey, Tom Homan: Jonathan Ross is a fucking murderer
