They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.” Photos from Trump’s Truth Social account.

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.

Bari Weiss’ rebrand of CBS News as “Fox News but way less successful!” is coming along apace.

I wrote about Grok's CSAM problem and how journalists keep fumbling the story www.readtpa.com/p/grok-cant-...

i'm really having a hard time getting past the "surely we can all agree that Somalis are worse than trash" thing. this feels new and very bad

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti. Mattia sips on an espresso during his. Truly the heroes we need during these times.

Truly the epitome of the dog / cat hetero couple

AOC: Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city. He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century. He will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations. Most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us .

just saw a billionaire pack all his things in a bindle and start leaving new york city on foot. he turned and looked at me with tears in his eyes and said “maybe one day when this city is safe we’ll return” before walking away

Yeah, man, the only difference between your career and Mark Rufallo’s career is the political stuff.

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

when i say that democrats have got to stop worrying about what republicans will to do us and make republicans worry about what we will do to them, this is what i am talking about www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-mu...

And please, PLEASE let us not forget that time in 2023 when Karen Smith was elected President of the school board in Bucks County, Pa and swore her oath on a stack of banned books. The most gangsta oath ever! Just brilliant. www.edweek.org/leadership/t...

I’m not a car guy, but I really love my battery powered Ego snowblower. Power, speed, ease of use…It has it all

Sometimes love is grand romantic gestures, sometimes it is spending your holiday off wrapping power cords in protectors to prevent damage from the rabbits your wife is infatuated with.

This year I’m going to be kinder, more positive, work harder, and put more faith in myself until the very first minor obstacle throws me off for the next 350+ days

Walnuts are good for the brain because they look like little brains…that’s science

SMITH says he had evidence that Trump directly ordered alleged co-conspirators to call senators on the evening of Jan. 6 to try to continue delaying the vote ceritification. He also had evidence that Bannon said Trump was still "on fire" on evening of Jan. 6.

“Would you be surprised if President Trump directs the DOJ to indict you?” Jack Smith: “No.”

Bryan Johnson being the doofus that he is and Dr Glaucomflecken with the perfect response 🤣

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

NEW: Jack Smith's team interviewed Giuliani, and when asked whether Rudy believed his own lies about election fraud, Jack Smith said he did not, and that neither did Donald Trump.

Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.

On Jack Smith deposition, now released: 100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning. Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print. What Smith says is far more incriminating.

🧪A few more hours to go…

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

I have to admit, I also always had kinda the wrong idea about Norman Rockwell until I saw the piece "Murder in Mississippi" as a teen in art history class

Watching my daughter grow up without evangelical religious trauma is breathtaking. She’s not scared of a hell, or a god who would condemn her to everlasting torture, and she’s never heard of a rapture. Growing up without that fear really does something good to a young person.

"Please be kind enough to explain when and where and under what authority you gained access to this material.” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse & Sen. Dick Durbin write letter to White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, asking how she's "read the Epstein files"

There’s this weird thing where the media keeps running profiles of different women telling me that people “hate her because she’s beautiful” and every single time I have to pause for a second to ask “wait, people think she’s beautiful”?

Wait, it was EMIL BOVE who was told about the Tom Homan investigation during the transition?!?!? www.ms.now/news/border-...

Rest in peace to Mike F, one of the all-time greats

What. No. Don't use their language, @newyorker.com that is not even a real word. What the hell is wrong with "flee" or like. "Flee this godforsaken country"

Before the new Sponge Bob movie there was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles short, produce by Seth Rogan, that is all about AI being garbage. It is great. “AI sucks” should be the dominant theme of all art currently

Nothing caps off a long day of operating like changing a tire the cold and snow, especially having to sit on the ground with just scrub pants on. I think it’s time to be done with 2025

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

“How does one attend inappropriately: ‘Was I in the past? Was I not in the past? What was I in the past? How was I in the past? Having been what, what was I in the past?

"Norman Rockwell was antifa," his granddaughter says. (Fact check: literally true.) www.thebulwark.com/p/norman-roc...

An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

“An AI scientist, for example, could figure out how the human brain works, or deliver any gene to any cell in the body.” Yeah and a magic pony could shit bricks of 24k gold and piss a highly concentrated solution of pure heroin.

I saw this monstrosity, meditating Trump monk, so now I’m sharing it with all of you…sorry, that’s how social media works
