Mark Zuckerberg is profoundly evil. This has been incredibly obvious for a very long time

Wait a minute...you mean to tell me thousands of the most beautiful women on earth didn't all randomly decide to join Twitter in 2023?????

This is…brilliant.

It's gotta be Jonathan Turley, right?

chat is it a good sign for the stability of our federal government that the president is having a multi-day crashout demanding the arrest of his opposition over a video he didn’t like and the entire thing is being studiously ignored by everyone with the power to execute it

Anti-vaccine sentiment is now a load-bearing plank in the Republican platform. Democrats haven’t budged on the need for school vaccine requirements since 2019. Republicans have consumed so much disinformation that their support has declined by 27% since then.

this is some DC comics villain shit

Damn. I wonder why David Brooks wants to turn down the temperature here.

You can say ICE is being used as a political cudgel to demolish democracy, or you can recognize that’s all they ever have been since their inception.

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

Oops

I’m gonns go with this interpretation honestly

This might be the single funniest thing that has happened during this incredibly cursed year

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.

a year ago the idea of an artificial intelligence chatbot designed to make the richest man in the world sound like a renaissance man no matter what question it was asked would sound like the setup for a black mirror episode. now its reality.

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

This is a thread detailing a series of incidents where federal Judge Ellis rules that Gregory Bovino and his agents lied or misrepresented what was happening on the streets of Chicago. In this one, she says body cam footage suggests they brake checked to cause accidents

The worst thing Pam Bondi can do in the Epstein case is move too quickly. by Merrick Garland

Damn, he beat me to it.

The dynamics within the Democratic Party are just different from the GOP here, which Trump and Comer don’t seem to have figured out

New way of saying a thing is unlawful just dropped

Everybody is referencing the “Blacks Rule” guy but the real sickos remember the backwards B “for Barack” cheek scratch lady

Kids these days can’t just google ‘hardware store’

the Harvard Crimson called Epstein a “child sex offender” while the Chronicle of Higher Ed called him a “disgraced financier” and that pretty much sums up where we are with higher ed journalism

Opinion | I believed Hillary Clinton was a sex trafficker because one of her donors owned a pizza restaurant and "cheese pizza" has the same initials as "child pornography." Here's why I don't think Donald Trump's multi-decade best friendship with a sex trafficker connects him to sex trafficking.

Man notorious for fucking teenagers in Russia thinks the Epstein scandal is overblown.

This is really bad, you guys. This is "wtf were they thinking" levels of bad

Somebody who isn't a real US attorney has been proceeding against somebody in federal court with a faked indictment. In a sane system, Halligan would be going to prison.

I have long said people don't be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts as much as they should be hatin Chief Justice John Roberts

Still looking for that special where you get 2 knee replacements for the price of one.

one thing i think is true is that republicans assumed that democrats would not respond in kind and that the forceful pushback spooked them (a lesson to learn here, perhaps)

You know what media is NOT bending the knee in the Trump era? College journalists! The Harvard Crimson's brutal takedown of the lecherous ex-prez Larry Summers is just the latest example of students showing a failing 'grown-up' media how it's done My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

Twitter is down, bluesky is up The world is healing itself

How do you land Vanity Fair west coast editor at age 32 after having affairs with two presidential candidates you were covering as a journalist. That is some prime white lady shit.

If you haven't yet, definitely read @chrisgeidner.bsky.social's post on EB White and fascism. As I said, I think this name will totally backfire. But still read Chris' post. www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism. Got it.

STILL TRUE

Imagine organizing your whole life around a movie whose central point you missed.

This really needs to be stressed, as it seems obvious Trump is going to let them vote to release it and then pretend his hands are tied. He’s had the power to release them all along, and still does. It’s just his excuses that are changing.

In her recent testimony, Ghislaine Maxwell said her father interrogated Nazi scientists after the war. He then used his intelligence contacts to break into the scientific publishing business. Something to think about.
