I'll be here if anybody needs me

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

Look I know attacking Iran is a big deal but will this affect Nancy Guthrie media coverage

2026 comes with a new gift every day

Indiana University's football crown was the feel-good story of the year. Off the field...not so much Ranked last for free speech, DEI cuts, slashing the humanities while paying its coach $13M under MAGA trustees My column on how IU ranks No. 1 in moral bankruptcy www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Data center proposals have exploded in the past year as builders seek to tap into Great Lakes fresh water and reap tax breaks. In response, grassroots organizers have sparked community opposition. @milesmacclure.bsky.social barnraisingmedia.com/data-centers...

Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

I wrote about aging farmers and the MIFarmLink program, one of many new programs across the country that are helping facilitate farm succession plans bridgemi.com/business-wat...

Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

this is an extremely disturbing video, really don’t have words for how fucked this is

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

Kevin Harlan the absolute 🐐 Williams to Kmet from Westwood One

That was insane lmao

friend of mine who has never sports bet decided today was the day he’d start. with a not insignificant amount on bears rams

sigh

bills fanbase might be more tortured than bears idk

🧵 We went over to watch the Bears/Packers at our neighbors house last night. He's a Lions fan, doesn't give a shit about any other team. His wife is a 49ers fan, has more interest in watching other teams play. Bears are down 21-6 in the 3rd and this dude TURNS OFF the game.

remember to breathe, hang out with your pet, drink some tea, things of that nature

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

These images are every bit as shocking, infuriating and heartbreaking five years later.

just figured out why i’m currently experiencing a debilitating bout of déjà vu

Can a reporter at this press conference ask which oil companies Trump’s been in contact with

ah yes, the best way to explain and understand the world is by ignoring experts and practitioners and turning our attention to the “average American,” whatever that means

In lieu of a 2026 prediction, my 5-10ish year prediction is that contemporary art will see a dramatic snap towards intricate, highly technical work. A dual response to the AI slop era and deskilled conceptual work that's proliferated in the past few decades

I SAW WHAT I SAW

Northern Michigan currently

made panettone for the first time. the effort was well worth it, the boxed version from the store does NOT compare

Many people are saying Weiss was sent to Australia in 2019 to learn something about said place. Very telling the only person she directly quotes is the head of a think tank lmao 🎁 link:

A must read, and a highly cautionary tale about resource strapped schools starting football teams! And threatening journalists is bad!!

I read this book in undergrad! Highly recommend to anyone interested in Things That Shaped America

I took a deep dive into Meta’s “Hyperion” data center in Richland Parish, LA. The story of a tech behemoth coming bearing billions to a poor community like Richland Parish is complex and worthy of scrutiny. 🧵 1/7 sherwood.news/tech/hyperion/

Googling 'truth social' yields Trump's account as the first result lol

Celebrity chefs told Californians that PFAS-coated pans were “safe,” and successfully lobbied Gavin Newsom to veto a bill phasing them out They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans. New joint investigation with @mirandagreen.bsky.social and @atmosmag.bsky.social is out:

Here's what living through the Trump 2.0 admin taught me about B2B SaaS Sales etc etc

Have you ever wondered how the NCAA tracks team academic progress? Or if their metrics make sense in the transfer portal era? I wrote about it for @mattbrown.bsky.social's Extra Points newsletter

What an interesting coincidence.

Does anyone know who the sculptor behind the FIFA Peace Prize is? I have some questions

Is your head coach's girlfriend filing FOIA requests on your school's top comms official a good look? Asking for a friend

is this real life

look at my bread

really taking the public out of public records here!!

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.
