Wow, evil AND cowardly.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Imma save the whole world then

LOLing after Bedoya says he resisted debating Matt Yglesias on social media over him saying restoring Dems to power would end police-state risks. "Friends don't let friends engage with Matt Yglesias online," he says. "He's like an engagement algorithm that made a wish and became a real person."

This should really be headlined “MFG has a reaction that makes it clear she’s under NDA and will say nothing specific about ex-husband diddling little girls and giving her an STD.” No shade to her for that reality, but do something better with your 3 minutes than listen to non-statements.

A reminder that defenses for the no fly list and requiring special ID for flying has repeatedly accompanied the insistence that there’s no constitutional right to travel by air (Which is its own flavor of bullshit, mind, but this is yet more goalpost moving)

If you needed even more proof that these people have no consistent ideology other than “let me hurt my opponents”

These are all the people who have motion smoothing turned on on their TVs.

People, look at the shit you’re sharing. Maybe Harry is so used to dealing with anachronisms that he’s blind to it but I assure you the creator of bitcoin wasn’t emailing a famous pedophile in the fifteenth century.

i am happy to fight for freedom with the libertarians but also, we don’t really need to *talk*

Whenever I see a pic of Noah Wyle in the Pitt all I can think of is this:

Wow. The county is charging the Ilhan Omar attacker even though the feds are also doing that, because they don't trust Trump to not pardon the guy.

*snort* Pal, I’ve been doing shit that got folks to threaten to put stuff On My Permanent Record for most of my 55 years, you think you’re gonna scare me with this now? Biggest problem this’ll cause me is the postage to send in FOIA requests so I have something to frame on the wall.

frankly I agree with them both

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

People are nervous about watching video, but this one is not of the murder, it's of the lead up, and people need to see it before the spin takes over.

They discovered they like weed

I got about halfway through the new Dresden File novel and thought “the author seems like he’s about ready for this series to be done.” I got to the end of it and I’m about ready for it to be done too.

It's STFU Friday. Refresh the script 👇

Not to mention that this portrayal of the sucker being subservient has always been flawed. I think there’s a pretty easy argument to be made about who is in charge when one person has the other’s genitals between their teeth.

Is the specialized skill “combing your own hair?”

I really dislike that it’s come to this but the idea that Andy Harris would be shown the door is positively transcendent.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now

A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work to prevent the acquisition of the former with the same urgency and ruthlessness we use to prevent the acquisition of the latter.

Are there four different ways to consume weed?

I’m not real inclined to think this is them engaging in a cunning plan when this can be explained by them being stupid and incompetent, which they are.

I was very confused by all the winged pork visible out my window until I found this statement from a defense attorney praising a suspect’s statement to the press.

The hiring standards have been relaxed to where new hires don’t need to have object permanence.

NEW: The ICE agent who killed Renee Good yesterday in Minneapolis appears to be an Iraq war veteran named Jonathan Ross who lives in Minnesota. Me, @noahhurowitz.bsky.social and @jesswash.bsky.social theintercept.com/2026/01/08/i...

Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole Macklin Good.

I’m not sure the folks working at ICE/BPD understand what people turn to when they lose all faith in getting justice from the legal system. Or they don’t realize how many rifles there are in the US.

Just the softest little bottle babies

At what point are outlets going to stop going long with this baloney anonymity? You can burn them. You can refuse to print their bullshit. Either/both would work if all the serious outlets just did it.

Based on how aggressively stuff would get “closed as duplicate” I assume this is the outcome SO moderation was seeking.

Well if there’s one good thing, we’ve learned over the last few decades that people always embrace the US and democracy after their leaders are removed by the US military. So this should work out — hold on, I’m getting an update …

No. Take more. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

They told me if I voted for Kamala Harris we would be involved in more foreign wars, and they were right.

Important, and sickening, story of injustice in the US "justice" system.

Parking near this crow, on the other hand…

Hi, I’m collapsing hardware store racks

just one of the great character actors of our time. As many others have, I will lament Isiah Whitlock Jr. with an emphatic sheeeeeeiiiit deadline.com/2025/12/isia...

see when people say "join my discord to read some docs" that's a sign that everything I hold dear has been destroyed and I should give up and become a farmer.
