⚠️ The DOJ announces it has “uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.” (The DOJ might be trying to bury information it doesn’t want brought to public attention, the way parties in lawsuits sometimes do during the discovery process.)

there is one and only one political strategy, and that is: “hang trump like an anchor around the neck of every single elected republican and the party itself.” no ‘friends across the aisle.’ no ‘the fever will break.’ anyone not on board with that has to go. no exceptions

Literally any other attorney general before Bondi would have fought tooth and nail and then resigned over this alone. Letting White House staff take over making public statements in the name of DOJ is in and of itself completely insane.

I routinely walked past outdoor pavilion tents serving as makeshift morgues because the hospital was rubbing out of places to put the bodies. That was 2020 in NYC.

Starting a Christmas movie thread for tomorrow: It’s A Wonderful Life The Lion In Winter Eyes Wide Shut Die Hard Die Hard With A Vengeance

Every so often I think about the fact that the Appalachian's are older than bones but also I can take the MetroNorth to them.

Eyes Wide Shut is about a lot of things but it’s hard to ignore that Dr. Harford accidentally uncovers a murderous sex trafficking ring (it doesn’t matter if it’s real; he thinks it is) and his biggest takeaway is that he needs to make amends with his wife with whom he had a stupid fight.

My proudly Polish wife has been adamant that it’s a wonderful country we will visit once things get a little more chill

this does not change the fact that the Democratic Party in 2025 is, at least on social issues, *without question* the most liberal major political party that has ever existed anywhere in the world

Hmm

Many such cases

Siakam is a genuinely talented dude who really deserves to be on a better team.

I’m sorry, are you genuinely stupid enough to believe “the guy who shot at a crowd of Jews said he didn’t do it because of hatred for Jews”. Like are you really that fucking dumb?

It’s almost half past midnight but this skeet is stewing in my brain making me want to watch the DVNE movies again

Genuinely baffled by Timmy’s recent media appearances when he should be bringing 2-7 Kardashians to sit with him courtside at Knicks games

The whole post is very interesting but the pun is really worth the whole read.

You can definitely oppose the current Israeli government without being antisemitic. This isn’t that.

I took some film classes in college where we could develop our own 8 and 16 mm and it is really a special experience.

Downfall Of Us All has such a hype beginning before immediately becoming boring

If you haven’t seen The Lion In Winter and this doesn’t make you want to immediately start it up what is wrong with you

This article is three years old and the guy quoted advocates for teaching phonics because he recognizes the other ways they tried didn’t work

Bring me more western conference slander

This is such a nice way of saying "Frauds"

I may have chosen exactly the right time to start getting into American whiskeys

it’s time for the thunder to tear it down and rebuild again, i fear

I’m gonna use this as a chance to pick a fight I know I’m going to lose, which is that every complaint which has more than one allegation per numbered paragraph should be sua sponte dismissed without prejudice.

The only good thing about the Atlantic so far as I can tell is David Sims and you can get his podcast for free

I had this one chalked up as a scheduled loss and I’ve decided that the fact I am now upset about it says good things about the Knicks bench

Weird that the MSG broadcast seems to be trying to create a “Randle hates the Knicks” narrative

Can I say something about tomboy Erika Kirk?

Why is Aaron Taylor Johnson, an Englishman, spokesperson for Jameson whiskey

man I really wish that NY’s transit union leadership was focused on improving conditions/salaries for workers and finding win-win investments that benefit riders and workers …rather than the status quo of being a right wing grievance machine actively pushing to make the system less efficient

There's an audio recording of him, not an aide, asking for votes to swing a state in a Presidential election and that wasn't enough to get him locked up or even keep him from the White House

This is absolutely infuriating on so many levels.

The guy who loudly led the effort and made the choice to deny aid to people all across the Global South is posting about white genocide on his public site everyday.

Yabu minutes. I would say Dadiet minutes except Dadiet doesn’t get minutes.

Judges engage in Affective Reasoning all the time. The Catholics here don't know that Pope Bob is watching this decision based in Chicago on the Issue he has chosen to take a stand on? Really?

I'm in this comment.

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass

“It’s the new Jeffrey Epstein jet.” Kristi Noem “posting a fun video in front of caged, tatted men.” Look how Bari Weiss’ The Free Press wrote about CECOT — the El Salvador megaprison Trump shipped people to — just months before she stopped the 60 Minutes segment on it: zeteo.com/p/bari-weiss...

The dissolution of the Heritage Foundation and liquidation of its assets will be bloodless if the few remaining fascist swine allow it to be.

The DOJ identified at least 10 co-conspirators who worked with Epstein and Maxwell. It’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Epstein and Maxwell were engaged in organized crime, yet NO ONE ELSE involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring has faced criminal charges. Why?

this is insane to me. the doj had forever to look into this. now they're like liveblogging on x like they have no more information than a random person on social media

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.
