The thing about Kash Patel flying to Milan to party with the U.S. men’s hockey team on a private jet paid for with taxpayer dollars is that he’s protecting billionaire pedophiles like Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the Epstein files.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

This sounds unbelievable but its true: since Bezos acquired The Post, his wealth has grown tenfold and the Post has been cut in half. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trust-...

I’m sure this makes the 30,000 Amazon employees laid off since October super happy

A sternly worded letter? What are they, democrats?

It's not hyperbole to say I wouldn't be where I am today without PageMaker. My school paper had a Mac Plus and swapped 3.5-in disks often to run both the Mac and PageMaker. RIP to the man who made it, Paul Brainerd. Great writeup by @toddbishop.bsky.social www.geekwire.com/2026/pagemak...

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

My colleague Vanessa Hand Orellana wrote an excellent labs-tested article comparing the performance of top smartwatches -- running 30 miles over two months! Talk about sweating over every detail. Great read for anyone looking at their health, not just for athletes www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

And then there is this... Congress approved the budget for USAID, and Vought and the Trump administration killed it. And are now raiding those dollars for more luxury for these monsters: bsky.app/profile/fain...

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

This was a joy to edit for CNET: Prakhar Khanna doing the 2016-2026 photo challenge, but instead taking pictures with an iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 17 Pro Max. www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

Somehow I tagged the wrong Scott in this post. Derp. Should be @scottstein.bsky.social !

An internal Meta email said now is a good time to add facial recognition in their smart glasses because people who care are distracted by "other concerns" in our current "dynamic political environment." I really like @scottmelton.bsky.social 's take on the situation: www.cnet.com/tech/service...

The president is overruling science to eliminate measures that protect us from pollution and environmental damage, mainly to benefit multinational corporations that have thrown money at his campaign, ballroom, and family. It's simple corruption, and it will cost American lives and livelihoods.

This is insanity. Literally. Insane people are making these decisions.

This is it. Pam Bondi's sole job. Protect Trump, criminals, and pedophiles.

Live translation is cool technology, and now T-Mobile is bringing it to their network. You won’t need special hardware, just dial a code to activate it on any call. Details at CNET: www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

Super Bowl streaker was wearing meta ray-bans and looks like he was recording. Can’t wait until the footage shows up on line

Keep seeing the misinformation that this was Liam on here--has been reported that it was not

I love this so much. Seems really innovative

Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and being this much of a whiney victim BITCH. Good god what a child

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

If my hometown can win the superbowl, just think about how we can beat fascism

Fellow whites! If you wanna follow up that halftime show with more urbano and modern Latin music in your life, some things to try include; Karol G, Natanael Cano, Amantes del Futuro, Farruko, and Niko Rubio

Turns out hating and fearing black people and shitting yourself on the regular is not the Magic Key To Happiness people

Kid Rock must have opened with ‘Bawitdaba’

Wife beater Mike fucking Tyson making MAHA Super Bowl ads is just such a distillation of this entire movement

Sign me up for that america

I don’t understand any of the songs during the halftime show and am really looking forward to a deconstruction later. It’s glorious

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Bannon and Trump have a couple things in common. One, they throw around threats when they know they’re going to lose. Two, they’re in the Epstein files.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Republicans do not understand the scientific process. And that is why we got back into Iraq on bogus data, because they were trying to prove what they wanted to believe. This is why Republicans cannot be allowed to control voting either. Because the results will be what they want to believe.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Oh it was pretty clear at the time. But people chose not to see it

"The layoffs are solely the responsibility of inept, incompetent, and inattentive ownership and management. It inherited a great American paper and left it in the rubble, putting hundreds of talented journalists out on the street," writes Jen Rubin in her latest.

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

No struggling newspaper ever saved itself by becoming a worse and less essential product. But what's happening today at the @washingtonpost.com is not just the latest devastating contraction of the news industry; it's the gutting of an American institution vital for a healthy society

Jeff Bezos had $75 million to bribe Trump for the Melania movie but cut 16,000 jobs at Amazon and is cutting more at the Washington Post today. And somehow people *dont* want to campaign on the issue of evil billionaires.

Winter storm tip: Are you an active Apple Watch owner obsessed with closing your rings but the big storm has you safe inside? You can pause activity rings and not lose your streak: Activity app > tap rings > choose Pause Rings.

Starlink's new FCC approval for 7,500 more satellites aims to boost service and capacity for millions. But at what cost?

Baruch HaTov veHaMetiv Oh my GOD what extraordinary news please God let this be the beginning of a whole new chapter for saving lives

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Better batten down the hatches. Ted Cruz is getting on a plane to Laguna Beach in winter.

I’m doing something cool tonight (Wed, 1/21): The Ink Drinker, a great new *bar for book lovers* in Seattle, is starting an InfoDump series of guest speakers. I’m taking about AI and Photography at 7pm, talk + Q&A www.instagram.com/reel/DTuQezj...
