Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Realizing that before Minneapolis I was confused about which asshole is Greg Bovino and which is Dan Bongino. The guy on the left can go to jail first but obviously these things mutate.

i truly hate how much we are living in a bad script

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

It has come to this. (Also, like countless other journalists in MSP, the @startribune.com has been doing exceptional work under extraordinary circumstances.)

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

This is why I support freedom of expression. Appropriately, it is the chaos of a system that supports free speech that gives rise to the grand process of democratic self-governance and the ideally upward arc of human progress and flourishing. Yesterday a Stoppard play, today a tweet.

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

The comments on Bret Stephens’ latest NYT column, “No, Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza,” are really something.

Get in line, people. (gift article)

The death toll from Russia’s Palm Sunday ballistic missile attack on Sumy is now 32 killed, including 2 children, and 99 people injured, of which 11 are children, according to the state emergency service of Ukraine.

11/ The tariffs aren’t economic policy. They are political weapons. But as long as we see this clearly, we can stop him. Public mobilization is working. Today, a few Republicans joined Democrats to vote against one set of tariffs. The people still have the power.

im probably just being optimistic but it feels more and more like this strategy of rather indiscriminately and smugly firing a shitload of Americans who serve their country and don’t do political jobs will probably just start pissing off ppl who don’t pay attention to politics.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Elon is wrong a lot and sometimes it’s because he’s ignorant and sometimes it’s because he’s lying and sometimes it’s because he would rather turn his ignorance into an attack than admit he’s wrong. Sort of like Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

www.theatlantic.com/technology/a... More great reporting from @cwarzel.bsky.social and the Atlantic. "Sources we spoke with emphasized that the level of access DOGE possesses means that the organization may already be able to siphon data that Musk or his agents could hold on to forever."

Great news.

Nicely put.

The River View is an @nytimes notable thriller of 2024! Check out the full lineup:

Always this confusion between realty and reality.

NYTBR has a great round-up of ways to survive the winter, book-wise, and The River View makes the series list.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/books/thriller-books.html

Every 15 minutes or so, I think about the “we need more masculine energy” part thing and get another migraine.

Oh my gaaawwwdd. I fucking love this so much

It was another stunning year for global climate and weather extremes. As data is processed and released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new historical records. Apologies for my many graphs in advance! 😬 Spiral below produced by svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5190

"By setting down the “leave me alone” ethos in the constitution, Montana set itself apart." Great column, and looking forward to more in @thestranger.com.web.brid.gy from @kemc.bsky.social.
