Sleep well, friends

Richard Viguerie: The Moonie Years

Interesting story. A few thoughts: 1. Mexico City a RIS hub for a v long time. Lee Harvey Oswald futzed around there, later Boyce/Lee case centered on embassy there. 2. There’s a bit of a goose/gander issue that isn’t raised. CIA’s Mex City station has been at points one of largest in world.

Torture is being used as a punishment in detention centers. The techniques the Bush administration called "enhanced interrogation" are now being used in a brazenly punitive way. We're rounding people up innocent people, putting them in camps, and torturing them. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Long day. I could use a peace prize.

Elon Musk has tweeted nonstop about white babies, white genocide, population decline, and fertility rates for the past week. This is what it's all about, folks. The supervillain plot is tweeted in real time. White supremacy. Fear. Anxiety. Hatred. A loathing of diversity.

"It was all about business. Oligarch money. Projects. Investments. And now Ukraine is about to pay the price for those conversations. My sources are telling me that in that Miami meeting, Kushner and Witkoff are not negotiating. They’re delivering an ultimatum."

Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

No Music. Just that lovely sound. Goodnight blue sky

A Reddish Egret thinking how the hell did I wake up here?

How did it happen that every single cafe in the world all at once decided they were no longer stirring iced lattes for their customers? Was it some Pluribus-type event?

Warren: "With Jeffrey Epstein, I really mean follow the money. Here's the deal - JPMorgan Chase - yes, Jamie Dimon, I'm looking at you -- is Epstein's bank, a close personal relationship that spans years. Shouldn't this be in the JPMorgan's ads?...I'd like to have Dimon come in & under oath testify"

For a decade, Russia has been seeking to divide Europe and America, to undermine NATO and weaken the transatlantic alliance. This peace plan, if accepted, will achieve that goal. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH? This guy really wants to go after David Attenborough? There will be armies of boomers and Gen Xers lining up to bring him down. It's like telling English people they shouldn't love their dogs.

Hey Russia if you’re listening. I recommend aiming higher.

"Yes, Harvard scientists, I'd love to have you on the payroll. And why don't you schedule a meeting with my Russian friend who's famous for kissing Putin? You'll find her quite charming." It's that easy. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/u...

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Every few years I feel compelled to post about the best hotel hack ever, because every time I post about it, it turns out to be new to lots of folks …

They're some of the best paid academics in the world... but for narcissists money isn't enough; they have to feel like they're in the most exclusive club in the world

An absolute must read thread

George Osborne doesn't have a loo?

I'm pretty sure he was subtly referencing Pozzo in Beckett's Waiting for Godot and commenting on way the universal absurdity of human existence robs all our actions of any ultimate meaning. She could have clapped back with some Camus. I refuse to believe we live in the stupidest timeline.

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

It’s sort of clarifying to see him describe this dynamic so directly www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

In the end decides she’s “very self involved and to get her to be good requires more firmness than I enjoy” Wow

Undeniably...

Imagine the very people who made you laugh your head off when you were 18 and living in cheery, optimistic times also found a way to make you laugh in the midst of our dystopian hellscape today! Brilliant Waiting for Godot. It makes every character so fresh. Bravo @alexwinter.com et al

I'm preparing a grad seminar and haven't had time to read any of the Epstein stuff. But maybe it's better to wait until people have sifted through and discovered the most important stuff. Feel free to let me know if there's anything I might want to know right away!

Very excited to see @alexwinter.com imminently in Waiting for Godot!

It’s time for new leadership

After their resounding victory in Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats had no choice but to surrender.

I went to see Nuremberg. The trials were so fascinating, the historical significance so complex, and the real transcripts so full of drama, how could a movie about them not be interesting? Well, go and see Nuremberg and find out.

Yep

Also rooting for @katiekitamura.bsky.social Read Audition if you haven't already, especially if you want to get out of your own head for a while - it's intense!

oh boy

My cat, Tiny, downcast after listening to the story of acoustic kitty on the Mission Implausible podcast with @johnsipher.bsky.social (but he still recommends the podcast)

Tech companies are pouring money into AI, and they’re not making it back. Matteo Wong and Charlie Warzel on how everything could come crashing down:

good night every body

Swiss oil trader Gunvor dropped its bid for Lukoil's international assets after the US Treasury labeled it a Kremlin puppet and threatened sanctions. Gunvor, co-founded by Putin ally Gennady Timchenko, denied the claims but withdrew its offer.

This is the work of Elon Musk and his DOGE kids most of all

Gen Z will find it very endearing that he has the "millennial pause" at the start here (Gen Xers you can google it if you don't have a resident Gen Zer)
