I don't think I could better parody the state of the Washington Post opinions page than an essay from a crypto guy and the legal academy's worst amateur epidemiologist that earnestly argues that "stolen land" rhetoric is misguided because of statutes of limitations on lawsuits to recover property

Apparently Allrecipes thinks Maryland is in New England? www.allrecipes.com/recipes-for-...

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

It's not the most important takeaway from the federal government's arrest of Don Lemon, but I am struck going through this how unseriously judges and career prosecutors are taking Trump's DOJ these days. Contempt for these losers up and down. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I'm sure this will go well.

congragulations

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Oprah’s coaching tree sucks beyond belief.

you cannot reform or retrain an utterly sociopathic contempt for human life like this abolish and prosecute ICE

I will accept that literally everyone outside of New England is going to be rooting for Seattle in the Super Bowl and they should probably be favored by a touchdown or so but you gotta play the game and maybe Sam Darnold still has some Jets in him

Hopefully they intersperse it with Darnold's "seeing ghosts" clip. Can't let him forget he used to play for the Jets.

The man has a gigantic plane with a bed to sleep in at his disposal and flies to Florida every other day. But sure, the Bay Area is too far way. That's definitely the reason he doesn't want to go. www.cnn.com/2026/01/25/p...

Vinatieri too classy to be like, kicking field goals in a snowstorm not so easy, is it now?

The best kinds of football games are the ones where nobody moves the ball in a blizzard and 75% of the commentary is the guys saying “these conditions”

Never hated monochromatic white football uniforms more than right now.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

A-fucking-men.

Seth Moulton is my rep. Wasn't super happy with him in the past, but this is an A+ response.

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

What happens when SCOTUS disempowers lowers courts from enforcing basic constitutional rights at the behest of an authoritarian president committed to implementing white nationalism.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

What's the record for total number of turnovers in a playoff game?

I cannot believe that Melania movie is a theatrical release. Like, who exactly do they think is going to pay to see that in the theater?

Boston Blue looks like an extremely terrible show.

For decades people have asked how do I order a pizza? How to get pizza to my house? Now we have the answer.

Men don’t call a woman a fucking bitch when they’re afraid for their lives—they say it when they hate us. They say it when they’re punishing us. jessica.substack.com/p/ice-shooti...

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

Just saw an ad for some Republican loser running for governor, and he pronounced the name of the state as "Massachussess". Good luck to him.

Dissolving the ICE secret police is a necessity for a future devoid of authoritarianism. #KnowYourHistory

Liam Coen looks like he's at the funeral for somebody who died in a dirt bike accident

Trump to blue states: Drop dead. Today's column:

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

The thing about finding a way to live with people who are genuinely different from us is it is hard to do that when the differers show up in your neighborhood armed to the teeth and start shooting you

Rumor going around town that ICE is going to be targeting local schools during drop offs and pick ups. Had to have a serious conversation with other parents about strategies to keep our kids and their parents safe. People are crying, terrified. But at least we’re free from terrorism

The Trump Regime Smear Machine is now a taxpayer funded venture that smears victims of state violence by justifying their killing. This should be familiar, it is a common practice in the aftermath of police shootings of black people (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

Excellent, clarifying piece on the (real) legal pathway that Minnesota has to prosecute the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman today. No, federal agents do not have absolute immunity from start charges, no matter what the Trump administration claims.

It's nothing everyone doesn't already know, but ICE/CBP guys know they can do whatever they want. They're the absolute dregs of the Violence Worker Community, not trained for anything like what they're doing, out of their depth, all that. But it starts with them knowing they won't face consequences.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Jets really innovating in the space of ways to be bad.

Well, well, well, looks like I am a football expert after all.

We had a good run

The FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something

I teach fire protection. This bar had petroleum based cellular foam for sound proofing on the ceiling. Highly flammable.The Station fire in Rhode Island was the same type of fire. It’s part of my PowerPoint presentation. This fire will be added for my classes.This was avoidable. 👇

I guess no one learned anything from The Station fire. Should be common sense not to light fireworks indoors. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/02/w...
