One court decision, two different headlines. Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Oh would you look at that! Anthropic’s magical shrinking margins went from 70% to 47% to 40%, with higher than expected inference costs, and its revenue projections were below estimates. I’m sure they’re somehow magically gonna be profitable by 2028! www.theinformation.com/articles/ant...

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

This DHS memorandum says that the DHS General Counsel's office has adopted a new position that the Fourth Amendment allows entry into the home to make an arrest just based on an administrative warrant. I would like to see that argument. documentcloud.org/documents/26...

When this is over, amoral anti-American law firms like Jones Day will eagerly be running Operation Paperclip for the lawless scum of the Trump DoJ like D. John Sauer, and the profession has to find a way to inflict debilitating harm on those firms and their managers or give up on the rule of law.

This picture making the rounds on reddit, Columbia Heights. I'm not OK.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

what do you MEAN Al Gore heckled Lutnick at Davos

Here's how WaPo and the Times handled this. The Times didn't mention the anti-Somali racism. WaPo simply said Trump "revealed his thoughts about Somalia." WaPo cited Trump praising Hell's Angels without noting he did it while attacking "vicious people" from "the Congo." An alternate universe

Bonus: people who voted for Trump won't even get the joke.

i feel like the viral bus thread resonates because at every step of the way you're like "ok surely this will be resolved shortly, any second now," which seems like what all the passengers are also thinking. then the fact that the situation doesn't resolve and the bus just keeps going is an Allegory

I want to emphasize that at this time the unconfirmed reports that President Trump has both arms stuck "elbow deep" in the airplane toilet are just that. We will be monitoring this story. Please be responsible about spreading news that both his arms are "as far as they can go" into the toilet hole.

The current official word is this is a “minor electric issue,” but I want to express my gratitude for the shot of momentary joy this post gave me.

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

Two DOGE members working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with a group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls" www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

As I understand it, the rationale of the cops and cop-defenders is that the rhetoric in the Facebook comment could have agitated someone else into doing something violent or illegal. Here are some of the problems with that theory. /1

A man is comes to the US fleeing war, makes his life here, becomes a citizen. Years pass, and armed paramilitary troops bash in his door and haul him, nearly naked, out of this house and into the freezing cold. For no good reason. Maybe, just maybe, it's ICE who are the "worst of the worst"

Europe may begin selling U.S. assets in response to a new conflict with the US—a move that could trigger a dollar collapse, Bloomberg reports. Deutsche Bank analysts warn Washington’s key vulnerability is living off global financing—and Europe may decide it no longer wants to bankroll the U.S.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)

Norwegian PM Støre says Trump repeatedly raises—complains about, pleads for, and demands—the Nobel Peace Prize every time they meet. Støre gives same answer each time: decision is made independently by Norwegian Nobel Committee, with no role for Norwegian gov—a concept Trump appears unable to grasp.

According to Brian Stelter, 60 Minutes is finally airing the "Inside CECOT" story that Bari Weiss shelved. She made Sharyn Alfonsi fly to DC to get an interview with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem for the segment, but both refused. So it'll run tonight -- with no promotion and against the NFL playoffs.

jd vance would sell his *own* children for a percocet if he thought it would get him closer to the presidency

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

Congrats to everyone who voted for Trump to lower prices! You’re now paying more for everything so Trump can feel better about himself bsky.app/profile/twse...

THREAD. A collection of random dogs I have met on my adventures in the British countryside. You will find the captions to the photos in the alt text.

Didn’t we have years of discourse about cancel culture, free speech, and employment, especially on college campuses? I could’ve sworn that happened. I was told over and over that it wasn’t about the speaker or the content of speech.

Trump has no respect for anyone who cannot wield power, he will always see those people as weak losers. This gambit was never going to get her installed as president, and she’s a fool for not seeing that.

“If you’re mad about what the government is doing, the appropriate thing to do is something we can completely ignore”

Just building on this – because what an *incredible* idea – all ICE recruits should be required to tattoo their personal ID QR code on their foreheads. That would solve a number of problems, just not the one the Dems have made up in their heads!

Centrists love to worry, but no evidence that the exact same kind of campaign - an impeachment of Biden's DHS secretary that died in the Senate - hurt House Rs at all.

Why does this article even exist given its own third and fourth paragraphs

Every obsessive critic of "wokeness" embodies the actual qualities that they attribute to "wokeness." In this case, the mentality that any obstacle you encounter is discrimination bsky.app/profile/park...

Fun to think about how, say, Tim Russert would have reacted to Bill Clinton doing this. Or Jake Tapper if it was any Democrat at all.

The right-wingers at SCOTUS today argue that merely allowing a trans girl to compete in sports is a great harm because we must "protect women." But a woman exercising her First Amendment rights is a smug .... These people don't respect women 1/10th as much as any trans woman I know does.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Paramilitary forces reportedly on Venezuela's streets, as the US State Dept tells Americans to leave the country. Not regime change, not democratization, not a US-friendly coup, not even successful resource theft. Regime decapitation with no follow-on plan, creating instability and nothing else.

Conveniently, the state being able to specifically articulate why it’s stopping a vehicle happens to be the longstanding legal test for whether it’s constitutionally permissible to do so.

FYI this is part of the assault on Minnesota. FinCEN has issued a Geographic Targeting Order for Hennepin & Ramsey counties imposing additional reporting orders on banks and financial services. Federal outlays in 2025 exceeded those in 2024. This, like DOGE, is all pretext. Negative savings.

Trump will pardon him so he can do it a third time
