not unique to wikipedia but i love that every list of "wrestling controversies" is like - double murder suicide - they booked the world title bad - industrial accident murder - they booked the world title bad - organized crime murder - organized crime murder

We do know who killed JFK. The Warren Commission was an incredibly thorough and good-faith effort to prove and document what had happened, which they did. The conspiracy theories arose in spite of best efforts to avoid them, but there really isn't anything they could have reasonably done better.

Marimar Martinez is a US citizen who was shot by ICE five times in Chicago. She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media. All charges against her have been dropped. In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

fall guys take falls, that's their purpose mildly amusing these shitheads didn't understand that, but meaningless unless the planners are also prosecuted

AirBnB CEO calling it “vibe revenue” just 👨‍🍳 😘 The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated. I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble. But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash. Waiting for the feds? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaa...

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Really good to see how obvious a lot of this stuff is and how our media class are either oblivious out of stupidity and ignorance, or just know they can’t actually directly say what’s going on because they know what the backlash will be

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong

The absolute flood of invective and bile Thompson would unleash upon seeing a shill like Nuzzi held up as a contemporary would get him banned from every social media site in existence

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

The people who say "why this obsession with Palestine? why don't you post about Sudan?" never post about Sudan themselves. What they mean is "it's fine you don't care about Sudan. You should be similarly indifferent to Palestine" (of course, many people do post about both and other crises)

Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.

It's not preferable to the kids it's blowing up. That's the point.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

“Things happen.” Jamal Khashoggi was a journalist and Washington Post columnist who was literally murdered and dismembered by agents of the Saudi government inside a Saudi consulate. Shameful. So shameful.

Bluesky has verified an account that has already skeeted its intent to continue to commit war crimes. How is that not a violation of the TOS, @safety.bsky.app? Why was this account verified instead of banned?

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social & Avi Asher-Schapiro

Things like this will become increasingly common as billionaires increasingly treat low earth orbit like their personal playground and garbage dump

I bet they do take wedding rings and family heirlooms now. It's quite hard to prove that's what they are in a portakabin immigration interview room.

This is Nazi shit, in the literal sense of being a policy adopted by the Third Reich.

This should be instructive. The democratic tent does not have room in it for communists, it does not have room in it for socialists, they will do everything they can to defeat you if you are even the meanest, behindhand reformist demsoc, but if you're a nazi they will welcome you with open arms.

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.

🚨Exclusive: Half of voters who backed Labour at the last general election have deserted the party, according to internal polling shared with Labour MPs www.politicshome.com/news/article...

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat. They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues. This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service. www.crikey.com.au/20...

Emily Maitlis admitting she worked at the bbc to try and get healthcare for trans people shut down

fellas is it normal for a funding bill to waive the sovereign immunity of the united states government in the context of when senators are targets of federal investigation

Very peculiar. Why is this very similar story involving both the supposed costs and supposed revenues - but tilted in Anthropic’s favour - running in both the information and WSJ? Why is Anthropic so desperate to tell everyone it’ll be profitable by 2028 all of a sudden?

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman. They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

"truly it was out of curiosity"

we’re about to start seeing a lot of “here’s a cost effective meal your grandparents made during the great depression”

If you have to draw (not very good) parallels; we're run by Team Cuomo - totally captured by capital, utterly venal, corrupt in the open, obsessed with personal slights and traitors within, and invested in maintaining an ideology and political economy that died of a heart attack in 2008.

A Labour Party (re)built to specifically NEVER let any popular, minority-led, vaguely left-wing, inclusive leadership emerge because that's what the people in charge *hate* above all else will never, ever produce a Mamdani. In fact, it'll go out of its way to seek and destroy that sort of person
