There are still a couple hours left of Bandcamp Friday if you’d like to support my sound work most of it is pay what you wish :) manbartlett.bandcamp.com/music

Amy Klobuchar running for Governor of Minnesota

People think the highest Michelin rating is 3 stars, but there is a hidden 4th level where the Michelin Man comes and kills everyone at your restaurant and mixes your ashes in tire rubber. Then he exalts you by wearing you around his waist for all eternity

Yeah, it sounds extra unsavory when you put it that way

Into the moka pots tbh.

This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

I tend to be pretty anti-conspiracy theory but there are a few that I nod at and go, "yeah, I can see it." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

(gift substack) Jeffrey Epstein didn't want prostitutes. He wanted scared, vulnerable girls and young women he could control. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

The most fascinating thing I learned about her years ago is that her brother was Alphaeus Hunton Jr. and their politics were diametrically opposed. Her grandson Stephen Carter is a well known law professor at Yale and wrote about book about his grandmother that I read.

This feels like watching a future car crash in slow motion.

Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

@wyden.senate.gov's record of warning that there is deep and constitutionally-serious dirt being done by the intelligence agencies in secret is unblemished. The vaguer he is, the filthier the dirt is. This is the vaguest I've ever seen him

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

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.

“TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY. YOU MUST KNOW THEM. MELANIA.” I'd donate to this place simply for that advertisement alone.

Can't stress enough how *crazily illegal* this is: Rubio may have been exercising authority after he no longer lawfully could Byron—running NARA day to day under that authority—may have taken actions that are void from the beginning Byron may *not* lawfully serve as/perform functions of Archivist

it's probably fine

sneaking around the neighborhood at night, slapping stickers that say "I bought this after Elon begged to go to the wildest party at Pedophile Island" on every last Tesla I find

can’t not hear and see:

I think this would have the opposite effect of what is intended. Instead of supressing the vote you’re going to end up with angry people even more determined to cast a ballot bsky.app/profile/marc...

The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody

i feel like we've had a good enough sample size for like two decades on whether or not body cameras on cops do anything whatsoever to stop them from killing people. the guy that murdered renee good was filming it on his phone for fun!

This is preying on my mind a bit. Jeffrey Epstein was not primarily a British scandal! So far we've removed a Prince from the Royal family, fired our US ambassador who was one of the most important political figures of the last few decades and banned the CEO of Barclays from the financial industry..

74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month. Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.

David Ross knew he was schmoozy sympathetic friends with a convicted child rapist for years, but only resigned from SVA today, when artnews reported on his emails with Epstein www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

this story is horrible & I keep thinking about it since reading yesterday. I hope it sticks with Matt Lauer’s name for the rest of his life.

Absolutely devastating, brave, important, incredibly written piece. "I didn’t feel at all like a survivor. I felt like an idiot, set up to fail from the beginning."

This looks like the guy you meet in the woods after your car breaks down in the low budget indie horror movie Eli Roth passed on producing because it's too expected.

This is the moderate position, etc

I've never had tear gas launched at me straight from over my head until now. That's also what happened to these unmasked, normie daytime protesters. ICE is shooting the tear gas up in the air so it arcs and falls way across the street and into the next block.

How is this real life

I hadn’t known this. Two men who were accused of sexual abuse on the Shitty Media Men document that I created back in 2017 reached out to Michael Wolff for help as they looked to sue me, and Wolf forwarded their concerns to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein offered to help. www.jmail.world/thread/EFTA0...

i absolutely mean this earnestly and not as a dig but how does mamdani have time to film so often and also govern? dude is the most likable machine i've ever seen.

To give u an idea of how powerful men protect each other, remember Moira Donegan's "Shitty Men in Media" list? Here are former Paris Review Editor Lorin Stein (who got fired for being named), Michael Wolff, & Epstein discussing backing Stephen Eliott to supress MeToo www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

I genuinely cannot imagine this kind of scale and this suddenness being my first experience with tear gas. I am pretty astounded at the crowd's discipline, that no one panicked or trampled each other in that massive cloud.

And they're building more concentration camps. They're doing ethnic cleansing.

Why were ICE agents unmasked from 2004 through 2024 is the question that is never asked?

How shocking. A new investigation finds that major Swiss banks had more ties to the Nazis than they have acknowledged publicly. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...

“In a little over a year, the number of detention facilities used by ICE *nearly doubled* to 212 sites spread across 47 states and territories. *Most of that growth* came through existing contracts with the U.S. Marshals Service or *deals to use empty beds at county jails.*” (emphasis mine)

this admin is determined to psychically punish anyone who remembers anything republicans ever said before 18 months ago

2026 if Larry Krasner had been the AG tasked with prosecuting J6 in instead of Merrick Garland

I think this SpaceX / xAI merger is likely to be very important (bad) in ways that are both predictable and ways that I’m not sure about yet. I think it is undeniable that Starlink/reusable rockets/spamming satellites into low earth orbit is a very notable thing. Combining that w bad ai company-idk

The

talk about simpler times this was content for like a week

Has anyone seen even one editorial anywhere? I've seen a small handful of opinion columns, but that's it. Let me know.
