the trump official — who led the siege & occupation of Minneapolis — admitting to having an ongoing dialogue/rapport with Martin Sellner, a straight-up Nazi who influenced the Christchurch shooter, while speaking at a conference about remigration (read: ethnic cleansing) is a pretty big deal!

Journalists covering Delaney Hall protests: We want to hear from you! Our team has already identified 19 apparent DHS aggressions against press in Newark, NJ, this week. Contact us if you can provide insights or evidence, including photos and videos at: [email protected]

I remember a conversation I had with a co-worker back in the 2010s, when they noticed I had put a piece of tape over my webcam— which, back then, was uncommon. "What's the point?" they asked.

FB friend passed this Ai tidbit to me. No "Manual connection" for the wife on LinkedIn.

The team at Atlantic Re:think & I prepped for this Sam Altman interview *a lot* and I was still surprised by a few things. 1) He tones it down. Gone are the warnings of AI-caused extinction and the promises of UBI. Altman's going more moderate when it comes to AI's future. Why? Well...

not news, but a gorgeous short film about the winter solstice by my friend Matthew Farrell, who consistenly puts out some of the best designed films. This one rocks.

In the future we'll all park our Cybertrucks in the crosswalk outside a hospital

Extremely accurate rip on mid YouTubers youtu.be/6LalpPLuzo4?...

"it was harder and harder to justify using a platform owned by such a reprehensible man while he was actively using it to try to shape the public discourse."

Update: they won a WGA award for this!! Congrats!!!

Loving this new publication, Charting NYC, using open data to fill in the gaps from our receding local press. Great work from @seenigel.xyz !! www.charting.nyc/map-when-was...

every day, XTwitter users ask Grok, "Is this tweet true?" This tool shows the tweets they ask about the most

I am once again asking everyone to read the incredibly predictive essay "Is Everything Wrestling?" by @jeremygordon.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2016/05/27/m...

The 2026 Super Bowl starts at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBC, Telemundo, Universo, and Peacock.

There should be a prize for the website that most succinctly and directly answers the question "what time is the Superbowl"

I'm perpetually on the hunt for a better screenwriting app, and this seems pretty tough to beat

this came our earlier this year but 1. it's still VERY true 2. the web design is SO good here. View this on desktop www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

free startup idea: airport coat check, so if you're flying from cold climate to somewhere warmer, you don't have to haul your winter coat with you. Saves the airlines $ on fuel. Throw in dry cleaning for an upcharge

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The whole legacy media apparatus is just goes, "That doesn't make sense to me... but... you are very rich..."

Satire is wasted on the shameless. (I explicitly mentioned Judge Dredd in this essay from last year about this problem) medium.com/@evanengel/m...

This should be an ad for Reign of Terror @attackerman.bsky.social

I know I'm posting this on Bluesky but I *really* want my journalist friends to consider the effects of staying on Twitter, both for their readers and for themselves

hey does anyone know if DC Comics is a company with lawyers, or...?

Finally got this signed last night, thanks @attackerman.bsky.social !

"what do you want for dinner?" The most unhinged part of Weapons:

Every Democratic mayor and governor should say this. Should have been said for months. ICE AGENTS will be held ACCOUNTABLE.

No one commissioned a Cheney obit from me except a friend who subsequently left his outlet. If you’re an editor and you pay more than $1.50/word, reach out. If I hate your outlet, be prepared to pay more. If these terms are not acceptable, my book works as a Cheney obituary:

"Capital allocation should be done by those best at doing so" - Elon Musk

This is a great statement and should be issued collectively by DAs & AGs around the country, and endorsed by Congressional Dems

Cool idea: if AI companies & their data centers need energy so badly, they should pay to upgrade residential homes to energy efficient appliances and free up the GW they (claim to) need

love you guys but this is not hard

if Elon's proved anything it's that a critical mass of journalists, podcasters, and Republican officials and staffers will not ever, ever quit that fucking app no matter what he does to it. it could electrocute you and send your banking info directly to the dark web and they'd still be scrolling

Folks who came to my show last week know that this was entirely predictable

could Trump commit a crime so illegal that even he himself could not pardon it

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

NRA: the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun 2 unarmed Wikipedia nerds: lol hold my mouse

Oops, the NYT accidentally hit publish on a story from 2015

This is the same guy who lost his shit when he realized that The Boys is actually critique of fascism. I wrote a thing about it here: medium.com/@evanengel/m...
