The replies are an amazing example of bad information moving faster than good. The wider context is in the article, but here swamped by outrage and people not thinking about the consequences of releasing enough information to expose victims.

Uh huh.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree? NOEM: A what? CROCKETT: A law degree NOEM: No I do no- CROCKETT: Okay

"When crazy people have nuclear weapons bad things happen" coming out of Donald Trump's mouth is a Monkey's Paw ass quote if I've ever heard one.

I had to check. This is real: meduza.io/en/feature/2...

Him and Candace being right on this is the most "heartbreaking: the worst person you know made a great point" thing ever

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

Apparently this is me and fucking Nick Fuentes right now? I need to go to bed for a couple years of restful sleep. #iran #uspol #dontcancelmeitsnotmyfault

If you want to know how much opposition to war with Iran has created unlikely bedfellows, I just saw a progressive YouTuber approvingly quote Nick Fuentes' rant about how illegitimate he thinks this war is, then look straight into the camera like "I can't believe I agree with him on this one thing"

Who on earth would ever hire the cowards at those other other law firms that knuckled under and struck deals with Trump? For shame Paul Weiss, Skadden, Milbank, Baker Hostetler, Willkie Farr & Gallagher, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, A&O Shearman, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett.

Always like to remind people that Penn still hasn't located all of the remains of victims of the MOVE bombing but they did give one of the families the remains of a dog instead of the 12 year old girl they were supposed to be returning. prismreports.org/2024/12/11/m...

My theory is that Altman will take any deal to maintain his bubble a little longer, and a little longer more, and everyone else in AI wants him to last a little longer so the whole sector doesn't collapse after OpenAI takes a shit, and takes the US economy down with it.

This is what it feels like to live with an abuser. The gas bills for the light alone..

Joining a block list for people who post X links is probably counterproductive if you want to follow accounts who provide the sources of information they provide during events like this, rather than just steal content and repost it without its original context.

You couldn't have hired an op who could have destroyed the Labor party more thoroughly. And somehow the rats are too dumb to flee the burning ship. I just hope something replaces them before they become vassals of mini Trump

Once again.

It would be cool when people post videos or photos like this during breaking news events they include the source, especially given the widespread use of AI generated video.

"Is $thing-I've-never-heard-of-a-bubble" is my new sign of aging.

The only thing here with a portion is 10 miles so definitely

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

Do I even want to know what this is?

Bluesky trending seems to be going well 😂

For those who are cheering for this man to pass on, consider the two scariest words I've ever seen put together: President Vance. (Worst timeline etc etc)

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Just learned that @wired.com got nominated for four (!!) National Magazine Awards, including for our "How to Win a Fight" package, with a specific callout for this excellent piece by @agreenberg.bsky.social and @lhn.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/the-wi... asme.memberclicks.net/national-mag...

The U.S. women’s hockey team is telling Donald Trump that they’d love to meet up, they’re just really busy right now. trib.al/WGak5rC

Following Trump's plan to require English to get a CDL, I think @governor.ca.gov should propose a rule that says truckers in CA have to be bilingual, bc if you can't read Spanish you can't read the street signs. I mean, how would you find "Los Angeles" if you can't read Spanish? 😜

This was really special to write, go look at it. It might even make you tear up a little.

I wrote about the late Jesse Jackson, spending his time with me, when I was a child. It's personal, adorable, and most of all, humane. emptywheel.net/morality-is-...

This is so economically incoherent it just feels like a Mad Lib. “You have GOLD BULLION back in your UNDERPANTS with the SALES TAX because of FREE REAL ESTATE.”

I don't understand how anyone could have thought DOGE would cut spending. The world is insane.

It's not over until they have it all back, including Crimea, damnit.

Is it wrong that I'm hoping for a death of Caesar thing?

A good reason for supporting National Public Radio. Real investigative journalism. This is the kind of work the Washington Post used to do.

For the record, the only time I've ever apologized for being white is when I was hogging all the sunscreen.

The latest edition of my newsletter is about a subject I've been obsessed with since I was a snot-nosed 20-something telecom beat reporter: The U.S. press simply refuses to acknowledge that widespread corruption at the hands of unchecked corporate power is THE reason for most U.S. dysfunction.

"Subpoena of Damocles" is both hard to spell without double checking, and a great, evocative turn of phrase.

every name is a winner here.

It's always nice when you rediscover some old writing, and it 100% holds up. ...and in this case helps explain the age we're in now. www.quinnnorton.com/said/?p=721

I've been the internet's main character AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Timeline cleanser 🐋

I'm so sick of the Democrats. They think they deserve to win elections without doing jack shit about America's fall into fascism. I'm so tired of them, all they do is fundraise and sabotage anyone trying to do anything.

The shoe event horizon but make it planet-destroying AI

This is perhaps the best proof that nominative determininism isn't real that I've ever seen.

So many limitations and chances for this to go wrong. It confounds all the way down The only way to actually do this study is to assign random teens to pot or no pot groups, but that's not terribly ethical. I mean, we've done worse. 😂

To @adamliptak.bsky.social from your readers. For over a year the Roberts court has aided & abetted this administration. To call this most recent decision a “declaration of independence” is farcical & dishonest given the history of the past 13 months. Do you truly think this court has changed?
