What a moment.

The Guardian: “Under any other president, a UAE royal secretly paying $500M to the Trump family’s crypto business would cause a political earthquake in Washington. There would be an investigation by Congress, televised hearings, and months of damage control” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

it's fitting that the company inventing the Eye of Sauron is called Ring

That Ring “search party” ad was unsubtle enough that even my 10yo watched it and was like “are they gonna use this for ICE?”

Real talk

BREAKING: Team USA wins the gold medal in the figure skating team event, following Ilia Malinin's first-place performance in free skate.

YAY team USA ice skating team! 🥇

That kids got straight up Amadeus Mozart vibes, in the air on ice! 🤍✨⛸️🪽

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

That halftime show is what people mean when they say "joy is an act of resistance."

the bushes were people 😂

Thank you Bad Bunny for taking the California stage and using your voice at Super Bowl LX. A beautiful moment! Together, we are America.

Has anybody verified if that was Liam Ramos who Bad Bunny handed his Grammy to?

#Badbunny ! ! ! ! ! !

THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE 🇵🇷🇺🇸🌎💙💙🫶💙💙 #BadBunny #SuperBowl #PuertoRico

And these words on Bad Bunny’s football held up to the camera at the end: “Together We Are America.”

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

He still got it. Plus Bad Bunny & Lady Gaga so classy with the Salsa, community, friend’s sweet wedding AND powerful messaging about the vibrancy of Puerto Ricans & all the people of The Americas 🎉 Nicely done, NFL #ChooseLove 💖🏈🌎🌟

Excellent Puerto Rico power grid callback.

Bravo NFL & Bad Bunny! Great SuperBowl Halftime show- great celebration & appreciation of the diverse culture of The Americas! Even those of us who speak Spanish have a hard time understanding his lyrics- but we Get The Vibe! Time to appreciate our neighbors, the Caribbean & Puerto Rico 💖🏈🌎

Wonderful speech from IOC President & Olympian Kirsty Coventry, Milan Olympics Opening Ceremony- “Strength isn’t just about winning – it’s about courage, empathy & heart. You will not only make incredible memories. You will reach your Olympic dreams – & you will show the world how to live.”

"You'll show us what it means to be human. To Dream. To overcome. To respect one another. To care for each other. You will show the world how to love. This is why we love the Olympics." - Kristy Coventry, President of the IOC #Olympics26

The contrast is so profound - between the beauty & respect & dignity of the Olympic Games leadership, athletes & messaging Vs. The repulsive disgrace of US Republican racism.

"The spirit of the Olympic Games is so much more than about sport. It is about us and what makes us human." #WinterOlympics #OpeningCeremony

BEAUTIFUL Olympics Opening Ceremony, Italy! 🇮🇹🌟🌍🕊️🤍🏛️🔥 Exactly what the world needs right now. Great symbolism of epic human achievement, mutual respect, inclusivity, science, astronomy, peace & class. Truly moving.

Go to, sir, you were beaten in Italy

Great dance performance & cameo speech for “Peace” 🕊️ by Charlize Theron at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Italy. Thank you @unesco.org Can we make War not the most profitable industry for the Damned? #Olympics

Big cheers for the United States team and HUGE round of boos for JD Vance when they briefly showed him on screen. MAGA is globally despised. #Olympics

Wow so happy they didn’t boo the USA athletes! Extremely happy that JD Vance got booed! Of course that will be edited out before Americans witness it!

Friday: Olympic crowd boos JD Vance. Saturday: Trump announces new 1500% tariff on all Italian sports imported into the US.

Gimme a link to that Italy jacket they're wearing. I need it.

Thank you, World! The USA just entered the stadium In Milan, Italy for the Olympics. I expected boos but they cheered. They cheered for “We the People.” Stand Up and Do Something! They Believe in us. Let’s beat that 🤬💩 bastards and his sycophants and clean OUR HOUSE!

I love that Italy is bringing one of their grand television traditions, Doing The Bit We Planned Regardless of Whether The Audience Is Really Into It Or Not, to the global stage

Absolutely unhinged music choice for Italy, this dubious DJ at the ice block decks has redeemed himself

Italy coming out to an EDM remix of "Figaro" is A+ work 🤌🏽

The US president’s attempted Greenland grab has succeeded in turning Europeans solidly against his country, the pollster’s latest survey found. Large majorities in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Great Britain all declared an unfavourable opinion. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, JD Vance was just booed relentlessly at the Olympics. Wow. The Trump-Vance admin is humiliating us on the world stage.

I'm at the Olympics and the entire stadium booed JD Vance. 😌

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

Maybe we need to take a different approach: who in this administration is *not* in the Epstein files?

Facebook launched 22 years ago this week. In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% — its lowest on record. Meanwhile, Meta is pumping at least $65 million into super PACs to stifle regulation of AI and tech. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy.

Breaking NBC: Lawmakers on Capitol Hill will be able to begin reviewing the unredacted version of the Justice Department's files on Jeffrey Epstein starting Monday morning, according to two sources familiar with the DOJ's plans.

it's really, really nuts that our scrappy lil' non-profit media website employs more people in Kyiv than the Washington Post. Also follow @lapatina.bsky.social she is awesome and smart and so brave

A fall afternoon at Donnell Vista in Stanislaus National Forest #donnellvista #stanislausnationalforest #sierra #sierranevada #landscapephotography

California follows the law and we work with ICE to remove violent criminals — not innocent families. What we especially don't do is play politics with public safety or spread misinformation. Google is free, Sec. Noem.

Thank you! And what about Insurance companies tripling or canceling home insurance coverage for anyone who lives near a coastline, desert, mountain, or pine tree- due to fire & flood risk increasing from climate change caused by fossil fuel companies? People can’t sell without insurance!!!

I would hope so.

Great perspective from @paulkrugman.substack.com.web.brid.gy on Cryptocrash & “Bitcoin's usefulness or lack thereof. If, like me, you consider the whole thing a delusion -BTC isn't a medium of exchange, nor is it a reliable store of value-“ “ETTD: everything Trump touches dies.“

The nation already owes you a great deal, Marc.
