HEGSETH GAVE THE GUYS SHOOTING CITIZENS IN THE STREET AND BREAKING DOWN DOORS AN ANTI-AIRCRAFT LASER. Sorry for shouting I just can’t hear my thoughts over the ringing in my ears.

I…………what?

that’s it, i’ve finally taken my best photo of all time 😅 (this chubster is an unapologetic beggar so don’t feel bad for him) 🧪🌍 #bird #birb

When the CIA did this to the Senate it was one of the biggest intel scandals of the 21st century. But here it’s not just a huge scandal, it’s dumb: Pam Bondi is so bad at her job she brought the evidence herself to an open congressional hearing. www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j...

Some personal news

'The Towpath', Maida Hill Tunnel (1912) by Christopher RW Nevinson (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford)

Please note that she's READING this. She PREPARED this as a rebuttal for questions about Epstein. She planned this, had someone write it down, and read it.

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

I'm not sure of the nuances and subtexts of the message, but, well, this is one thing that the Government *should* fund. And it shouldn't be damaged any more than it has been.

Pont Saint Michel in Paris, 1900 https://botfrens.com/collections/48/contents/15028

Just beyond parody at this point

Stile with added chesspiece. #Lewis

Significant, even if unsurprising.

Threatening.

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

The staffer

WSJ adds to the Guardian's reporting abt Tulsi whistleblower complaint It pertains at least in part to Iran. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

The man who told reporters it’s time to move on from the Epstein files won’t shut up about the 2020 election.

Jeff Bezos is right. There is no need to have correspondents reporting in Europe when you can get all that information from Russia. They'll even pay YOU. by Benny Johnson and Tim Pool

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

That Jeff Bezos's Amazon gave Brett Ratner, someone photographed with Jeffrey Epstein and in the Epstein Files, $75 million to make a doc about Melania Trump, while he chooses to destroy The Washington Post, says about all you need to know.

Note that @wydenpress.bsky.social sent this shortly after the Gang of 8 were briefed on the alleged misconduct of Tulsi which implicated another agency.

A fair point well made by David Aaronovitch.

Unbelievable

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵 www.politico.eu/article/eu-m...

New York Times: 'In the first malpractice verdict against providers of gender-affirming care for minors, a jury in New York State has awarded a woman $2 million in damages for a double mastectomy she received as a teenager that she said had left her disfigured.' www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/h...

Still the greatest list ever complied.

Artists have always loved to sketch! Sketch of a sparrow from Egypt dated c. 1479–1458 BC. Some 3,500 years ago in Egypt, artists used flakes of limestone as sketchpads! MMA excavations 1922-23, Deir el-Bahri. 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #Archaeology

Standing up to Trump worked for Harvard. Here's why it never would have worked at Columbia.

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it. Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom. An absolute enemy of humanity.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

"Populist politics, online disinformation, cyber warfare, & cryptocurrency were all just scaffolding for his work as a financier and sex trafficker. A way to destabilize the global order, make connections with the world’s elites, and continue enriching himself and preying on vulnerable young girls."

Compare this kind of hot-headed idiocy with the incredible heroism of random (unarmed) older women who observe ICE and keep their calm and their wits about them while being dragged out of their at gunpoint. Ask yourself who has done more to stop the feds.

Haiti’s TPS continues for now!!!!! And zowie: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214/gov.uscourts.dcd.283214.124.0_1.pdf

a lot of americans are convinced we need to re-invent the entire financial wheel just because they're still paying for things with cheques. This is a you problem/skill issue, guys

Elon Musk about to look straight into a camera and solemnly declare that publicly calling someone a paedophile should have consequences.

this is the most obvious attempt to change the narrative ever, and the letter is objectively quite funny

Wonderful Ice Age art! Some 40,000 years ago, this tiny head of a cave lion was skilfully sculpted from mammoth ivory. It is one of the oldest known works of figurative art! 📷 by me #Archaeology
