Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Boy, I tell you, no better way to start your week than laying awake at 4:30, unable to fall back asleep because you can't make yourself stop thinking about the Ravens' collapse, realizing your mental health is apparently balanced precariously on top of a few dozen people you'll never even meet

This is why we can’t have nice things.

The Derrick Henry/Lamar Jackson backfield actually happening and being as incredible as anyone could have hoped is one of the coolest things that has ever happened in football history and is somehow underrated

It is just so genuinely fun to watch Derrick Henry run. A privilege, really.

12(!) federal judges gave rare interviews to @lawrencehurley.bsky.social about the Supreme Court increasingly overturning the lower courts in favor of the Trump admin. 10/12 were highly critical of the Court Really impressive and important reporting here: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

The gleeful doxing of someone cheating in public is bad even if they are a CEO and even if they are a Coldplay fan. It's bad because this kind of thing is happening to random people on TikTok for such crimes as "sitting silently on a plane" or "being attractive" www.404media.co/the-astronom...

Exclusive from @nbcnews.com: New U.S. assessment finds American strikes destroyed only one of three Iranian nuclear sites www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Since 2016 the mainstream media (self included) has spent God knows how many hours fretting and gaming out and strategizing the right and ethical way to cover hack and leaked information. I don't see any way to justify doing this story the way the NYT did here.

Robert F Kennedy Jr is not a vaccine skeptic. Reporters and editors who’ve decided it’s somehow more fair to call him one instead of the anti-vaccine activist and lawyer he is should stop mischaracterizing him so… in the pursuit of accuracy.

“It’s like having a relay team, and instead of having six members you’ve only got four, and yeah, you can do it, but those four runners are going to have to run more than they’re trained for,” the FEMA employee said. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Exclusive from @nbcnews.com: Gabbard's considering ways to revamp the daily brief for Trump, which he's been taking infrequently. One idea: Make it into a video that looks like Fox News. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Exclusive from @nbcnews.com: The Trump administration is working on a plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya. Details of who would go, how they would go, and where they would live are murky, but the admin's serious enough that it's talked to Libya's leadership. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Between this, hiring Chris Licht, and hiring studio heads he now wants to fire, I think it's clear what the problem is: A mere $51.9 million per year isn't enough to incentivize David Zaslav to do his best work. Pay him more! www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

Ed Martin, the incoming "captain" of DOJ's "Weaponization Working Group," said that he'll "name" and "shame" individuals who committed no criminal conduct in what would be a major departure from longstanding Justice Department protocols. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

"We were lied to." Two women the Trump administration tried to send to prison in El Salvador tell their story to @nbcnews.com: www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Meet the new WH press corps! From Friday: OAN REPORTER: What has made you and your team so effective in finding, locating, apprehending, and deporting these violent illegal migrants? TRUMP: I love this guy. I wish more people would ask questions like that.

A few words on journalism, risk and what I actually said.

This is heartbreaking. And making it sadder, I saw a video on Twitter of a woman saying the REAL reason this kid died is that the hospital insisted on giving her the vaccine while she was sick. Just a sea of self-perpetuating bullshit with real consequences. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Trump allies have launched a bid to take control of the D.C. Bar Association — realizing the power these groups have. Pam Bondi's brother is running for president, and a top Ed Martin ally is running for treasurer. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru... by @allansmith.bsky.social @ryanjreilly.com

The thing is also that this is also terrible display copy! “Trump Health Chief Touts Cod Liver Oil as Measles Spreads” (Just look at Google trends! “Trump” and “Health” wallop “Kennedy” and “Measles”. And mine is fewer characters without a dependent clause!)

DOGE's Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, previously fired from a cyber company that accused him of leaking information, is now in the CISA agency directory, agency employee confirms to me tonight. DOGE was not previously known to have been investigating CISA.

I worked on this story for a decade and he just said it out loud on Fox News

What a dumb policy. Bylines are for transparency so readers can understand who is responsible for info. Arbitrarily limiting them and removing contributing reporting lines altogether is backwards in a time when we should be more open about our work. talkingbiznews.com/media-news/w...

For many years it was my job to report on the Murdoch empire, and this NYT very long read on the family legal feud is incredible. At heart though it captures the Zeitgeist and ugly truth - that society is being dicked around by a tiny handful of very wealthy people www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/m...

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

When SDNY refused to drop the Eric Adams case, it was moved to the Public Integrity Section. The acting leader of the Public Integrity Section also refused to drop the case and resigned.

One federal law enforcement official called the order to withdraw the charges against Adams “horrific” and “just transparent corruption.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

When you don’t understand how anything works, everything is a conspiracy.

This is probably only one of only two, maybe three halftime shows ever which actually have an artistic point of view beyond “here are my greatest hits”. It’s already extraordinary.
