"I think that the goal of Tom Homan switching out for Gregory Bovino is purely optics and damage control. It's not actually a change in their tactics of intimidation and indiscriminate apprehension,” said Minneapolis City Council President Elliott Payne.

the actual Republican parents who support the politicians pushing for this think the effort and money they spent parenting are wasted if their kids turn out different from them. You eliminate that possibility by eliminating the public existence of other kinds of people.

It’s crazy the sheer number of supposedly rational people who were like “ok but it’s good at health stuff” early on.

every now and then i remember, dimly, that my first grade teacher tried to force me to stop being left handed. my mom and i used to get school supplies at a left-handed store. everyone i knew seemed to comment on me being left-handed. that all stopped when I was 10-11, no one seems to care now

Instead of age verification, websites should just make you describe the first time you saw someone die on the Internet. if the story makes whoever reads it sad, you're an adult for Internet purposes.

“Raskin also said that he saw ‘references to 17-year-old girls, 16-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 11-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls, and I saw a reference today to a 9-year-old girl. So it is a really gruesome and grim story.’“ www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Hey remember the 2009 Epstein email where he says “I loved the torture video.” Turns out the video was from Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem. You’ll never guess who he’s been in business with (and influencing) since 2005. (Pssst jk, you totally will.)👇

I know how the Congolese militant group m23 can very suddenly make themselves real popular kigalidailynews.rw/reports-emer...

Interesting rhetoric from AOC here

I love the idea that the Super Bowl is supposed to be "a unifying event for the country" since any given year half the people who watch it leave pissed off

we need to make private jet ownership illegal. but as a compromise, I think we can mandate that on every commercial flight one random passenger is picked out of a hat, and the airline and plane crew have to be extra nice and accommodating to them while treating the rest of the passengers even worse.

nobody: not one person: me, trying to be normal after hours of reading the epstein files: the sultan of dubai is into hair

Just recorded like six hours with @andrewti.bsky.social on how Jeffrey Epstein helped build the modern world (derogatory)

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

I forgot The Mighty Ducks ends with the whole team cheering as their coach leaves in a Greyhound bus because he is too much of a raging alcoholic to drive legally

I love that the NFL has embraced, "Pissing off Republicans" as a strategy for booking Superbowl halftime shows

VC, founder, dumbass

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Do you like field goals? Do you like absolutely nothing but field goals? If so, has the NFL got a game for you

The Turning Point USA halftime show makes it clear: our multicultural society is keeping us from watching a guy dressed kinda like Ben Franklin play the violin not particularly well

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

Southwest Airlines spent tens of millions on a Superbowl ad just to say, "we now have assigned seating like every other airline"

Reminder when you watch the Intuit Super Bowl ads, they have Super Bowl ad money because they are a successful rent seekers who have worked for decades to kill free, quality, public tax preparation services donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-death-...

That Coinbase Superbowl ad is the most desperate thing I've ever seen a company do. Absolute edge-of-collapse behavior.

kinda nervous about how much money i have riding on this Super Bowl but if the Packers somehow manage to win it i am going to be doing VERY well

This person is a scam artist. They’re offering financing on whatever their “founding membership” is. Evil

the work @bellingcat.com is doing in Minneapolis is essential. I spoke with @eoghanmacguire.bsky.social about the site's U.S. strategy www.niemanlab.org/2026/01/in-m...

i started researching Russian disinfo networks in 2014 and writing about them in 2015 and the sheer amount of smug online assholes who dismissed every piece of reporting as CIA propaganda or whatever will never not piss me off

Portland, OR mayor Keith Wilson responding to public demands that ICE's land use permit be rescinded after they gassed thousands of peaceful men women and children. Kinda curious what "the course" we should stay is here, Keith? Watching ICE gas, abduct and sometimes shoot our neighbors?

people are so fucking pissed

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

if this happens it brings us one step closer to the Washington Post run by Vincent D'Onofrio

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

watching this site turn, in a week, from talking about Minneapolis and sharing tactics into a circular firing squad because of something that happened to one guy who posts here has me more black-pilled than normal. thankfully the Internet isn't real life. shit feels less stupid on the ground.

it's always a little funny when a massive world-historic tragedy winds up being a huge win for exactly one intended victim

Last month the Japanese American National Museum asked me to deliver a keynote speech on what is necessary to combat authoritarianism and preserve democracy. You can listen to it and the Q&A that followed here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

The first big fascist wave in Germany and Italy was driven by the humiliation and suffering of WW1. Our current wave of American fascism is largely driven by rich guys who want it to be illegal for you to laugh at them.

this is where i sadly break with Ed Zitron. i am now a convinced AI early adopter. Chance the Rapper would never lie to me about a major technological innovation.

bullshit. I dare you to find a single person who was exploded by a direct RPG blast to the torso and has anything negative to say about the experience.

Lucky to be one of the only people who ever had the catharsis of speaking to SBF the way he should’ve always been spoken to. (wait until the end for the smuggest head nod in history)

honestly i'm just happy to see a plagiarist doing plagiarism the old fashioned way, not an LLM in sight, just the way God intended

the fun thing is this guys are objectively bad at using these weapons too. BORTAC is violent as hell but not particularly competent. You can tell when a riot team knows how to maximize the impact of chemical irritants and flashbangs to disrupt a crowd. it's a skill.

NEW: I spent hours combing through the references to #MeToo in the latest tranche of Epstein files. I found Epstein closely tracked the fallout of #MeToo, joked about being in a "pariahs club," and advised men accused of misconduct behind the scenes 19thnews.org/2026/02/jeff...

i always love it when liberals critique me for being part of some leftist hive mind when like, I voted exclusively for Democrats. I told other people I thought it was best to vote for Democrats. The Democrats lost. And they didn't lose because leftists refused to vote for them.

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

do you have any idea how chill you have to be for sex workers to say they felt unusually safe around you WHILE you smoked crack?!

Yes. The folks who study election rumors and conspiracy theories are worried that a forced (and false) confession by Maduro (of 2020 election fraud) is a real possibility, and we’ve already seen some (wink, wink) foreshadowing of such a move.
