Happy. New? Year!

Also does this mean a generation of children are no longer going to understand what it means to duck under the turnstile? How are these new gates supposed to work for kids? Do parents have to flag down the gate attendant to buzz their kids in?

Tell me you're committing #Genocide without mentioning Genocide. #Israel to #ban dozens of #aid agencies from #Gaza as 10 nations warn about #suffering. Groups inc #MSF #ActionAid will not be able to operate in Gaza, say #Israeli officials. #Netanyahu www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Join us on Saturday for a talk with Eli Gerzon from Electronic Intifada! Eli will talk about organizing in the US and the current situation in Gaza including Trump’s failed “peace plan.” www.facebook.com/events/13443...

A little-noticed provision in the TRUMP AI Act would ban big tech platforms, including ostensibly Google, from distributing "sexual material harmful to minors" — a phrase routinely used by conservatives to ban not only porn, but sex ed, LGBTQ literature and repro rights resources.

Is it dangerous that Americans say the court is compromised … or dangerous that the court is compromised? Why would a CBS reporter leap to defend the institution she should be challenging?

Jack Smith, the former Justice Department special counsel who brought two now-dropped criminal cases against Trump, said that the Republican had acknowledged to others that he lost the 2020 election against former President Joe Biden, according to a transcript of a testimony by Smith.

These gates seem to suck.

the prophesy has been defeated

It's time for the passing year! ✨🌟✨Happy new year!!✨🌟✨ Wishing you the best as always, health and success for you through 2026! Keep it up!

Videos by New Englanders and Midwesterners are getting banned from Tiktok because they feature smoking. Only those people aren't smoking. It's just fucking cold outside and in people's cars lmao

Our Cybourgeoisie reality is here

how spam and AI are fucking package management nesbitt.io/2025/12/27/h... > humans might notice something feels off. A developer might pause at a package with 10,000 stars but three commits and no issues. An AI agent running npm install won’t hesitate. It’s pattern-matching, not evaluating.

happy new 2026, starting the year with some redistribution baby! www.ft.com/content/8b74...

Eric Adams is no longer mayor call that shit Bald Lang Syne

CONGRATULATIONS ON SURVIVING 2025!!! You did it!!!!!

Remembering how 2025 started, which was just way too on the nose for what it was.

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

Merry Vaccination Death Day, everyone!

It’s time.

White supremacy is making up a story about fraud at a Somali run daycare then shutting off funding based on that lie, but ignoring the trillions in missing dollars at the Pentagon which relentlessly bombs Somalia and other Black and brown majority nations.

Happy new year. Take your genocides and your generative AI and shove ’em up your ass

When you ban Médecins Sans Frontières you really should be having your “are we the baddies?” moment. Anyway, I’m off to bed. But before I go: free Palestine.

I tried to write something longer about this but honestly man I'm tired. Each day we spin a wheel to determine if the news will be more AI, a natural disaster, or the government doing 1930s Germany shit. It's a verse of We Didn't Start The Fire but Billy Joel just keeps saying "pain pain pain pain"

How I want to remember my 2025. 🪶 🦑

They’re gonna try to kill us again next year. Fuck ‘em again next year.

If you were going to describe Eric Adams tenure as NYC mayor, the kindest words you could lob at him are "absentee" and I think that the fact that the city functioned despite him being an absolute shit show is a pretty good example of why power shouldn't be concentrated at the top.

i can’t believe it has been 2016 for ten years

just want to remind folks that pushback and public outrage stopped them from closing the CDC library. i bet pushback will stop them here, too

The CBS Times Square coverage abruptly cut away from a guy mid-sentence when he said he hoped things would get better for the Latino and immigrant communities in 2026.

They've turned every press office into a groyper shitpost factory www.liberalcurrents.com/the-war-on-p...

For folks still struggling with the math: There are ~345 million US citizens. There are ~245 million white US citizens. This is what they mean by "Peaceful ethnic cleansing." Their plan ends with deporting all non-white people. Not "undocumented criminals." Not even "all undocumented people."

Local CBS Minnesota story proves America’s been duped by right wing propagandist Nick Shirley & his “fraud” story about ABC Learning Center. I’m sure MAGAs will still find a way to deny the facts, because they don’t care about justice, they care about white supremacy. youtube.com/shorts/1bAzC...

we wouldn't need a new year if they didn't keep making them shittier and shittier all the time

I refuse tobe pressured into making 'resolushuns" , thamk yuvarrymuch

Every time the Trump administration gets decisively halted now due to facing even limited pushback I get madder at top USAID officials and Democratic congresspeople for basically just letting it happen. Yeah sure hindsight is 20/20 but come on. We're all still fucked, 250k ppl are still out of work.

If you leave a Waymo’s door partially open the company has to pay a human $20 to come close it, please use this information responsibly.

This is 100% preparing to push Content Provenance tooling on to average users in order to extract even more data so that your photos don't get labeled as AI. He talks about cryptographic signing, but Insta will be requiring the keys, I'm sure.

“Data is power and data is control. And these American cloud providers allow the Israeli military to store a lot of data and to sift through it very effectively. That has direct consequences for people on the ground” — excellent interview with journalist Yuval Abraham

Went Business mode on VF with this breakdown of EA’s purchase www.vanityfair.com/news/story/j...

first full year back on the freelance beat! thank you to my editors and anyone who has read or shared my stuff, it’s been a tough one but I think I got a few good pieces off. I think this Netflix House one is probably my favorite slate.com/culture/2025...

So, the actual Heritage Americans sued about the placement of an immigration facility in the Everglades and are now being punished by the Trump administration

On Jack Smith deposition, now released: 100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning. Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print. What Smith says is far more incriminating.
