Happy seventh annual Laura Dern Day, please be reminded that you are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to watch this masterpiece *at least* once today!

This thread is wild. Sorry, there’s no way this is good for business.

“The All-American Halftime Show," born out of outrage over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance, fell short of the hype. From Kid Rock’s poor lip synching to Erika Kirk being MIA, it was simply dull. www.wired.com/story/turnin...

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

LA Kings allowed

I wonder what will come first. Elon's moon city or self-driving Teslas. 🤔 Hint: Neither of these is actually going to come from him.

Truth

In a stunning display of irony and stupidity.....🤦‍♂️

the thing I keep thinking today, over and over again, while reading about immigration atrocities is the cruelty is the point. there seems to be at no point where DHS will say ok, maybe that's a bridge too far, let's dial it back. in fact, it's the exact opposite.

Cmon Virginia!

Your Black History Moment Not in The Epstein Files.

In praise of librarians

#Qotd: "Hell is empty and all the devils are here" -Shakespeare ...in response to the current sociopolitical atmosphere.

It doesn’t get any more disgusting than this.

LOL Jake Lang was arrested for vandalizing that ice sculpture. Get fucked, Nazi.

reminding myself that i don't do programming or software engineering anymore, i do retrocomputing

Donald Trump posts racists images of the Obamas as gorillas and then blames it on a junior staffer. Zohran Mamdani holds a press conference with kids talking about their favorite animals.

In a dark, depressing world, I swear everything Mamdani touches brings a spark of joy Also hell yeah welcome to the war on cars giant gold snake

Is this good chat

The president is cartoonish levels of guilty in the most infamous human trafficking club. The president is kidnapping people in broad daylight using unidentified masked secret police. These two things are related.

There... aren't any trans characters on any current Netflix shows. The number is already zero.

A lot of facial recognition software is less tested on people of color and less accurate.

hello we're running a conference in a few months. we'd love it if you thought about speaking submissions are due in a week or so: pretalx.northbaypython.org/nbpy-2026/cfp

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

For those keeping score at home:

I just checked — because that's the kind of thing I do — Bezos paid $250 million for the Post and $500 million for his yacht, Koru.

Holy smokes.

Holy shit, his response to that was “You are incredible.”

During the movie Hackers, Freak is arrested, the others try to take down the bad guy and clear his name. But we never actually see him again. Cereal does the whole pirate TV thing. Nikon and Joey are seen in the police station. Then the movie ends with Dade and Kate on their date. Where is Freak?!

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Matt Murray, The Post’s executive editor, said, "Today is about positioning ourselves to become more essential to people’s lives." By killing its sports desk and cutting back local and international news coverage. Right. Stick a fork in it, it's done. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

The French are taking none of Musk’s bullshit.

Narrator: "The overly ambitious autocorrect did not in fact listen."

Article worth reading, also worth seeing if these individuals have overlapping networks www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Oh shit, people are out there open carrying their own hands

No. It. Is. Not. And even if it was, immigration judges are NOT Article III judges.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

I wonder how much time Jeff spent hanging out in Peter’s office talking interest rates.

thee jack dorsey, the one that used to follow the founder of the proud boys? 😂

I’m gonna call this a rare W nowadays for Reid. I was confused about which of the Elon emails were fakes but I did some light digging and I believe it’s only the “girls FTW!” one. The wildest party and sending the heli were real.

Each of these 7 items would easily be the biggest scandal for like 45 Presidents.

straight up Gestapo shit
