Tis the season for me to do an annual gofundme to take the lean off the office rent. My digitization playground and lab costs a few bucks, but the terabytes it's uploading each year are great. Here's that link. gofund.me/a6c552465

Happy end of year news dump to all who celebrate

Spreading some lulz

These patterns of escalation are unfortunately very predictable. I’m sure these business are also receiving harassing phone calls and threats too. It’s scary. In the fight for civil rights, numerous elementary schools were bombed by racist segregationists to protest integration.

Not for nothing, but Nick Shirley is using Meta Ray Ban glasses to film and harass Somali families. Not surprised.

Enshittification of an already overhyped app is on its way. I wish universities understood how corrupted these tools are from the jump.

Does anyone know of an article explaining how the DOJ screwed up redacts so badly? Is there no procedure with human validators?

You’re not kidding

As my friend Samantha says,“Everybody hates AI.”

ICE was founded in 2003.

Editorial cartoonist @dennisgoris.bsky.social is exceptional. Please follow and share (&credit his work).

This is an extraordinary piece of political satire.

Former head of trust and safety at Twitter, Yoel Roth, demonstrating the intellectual dishonesty of “In Covid’s Wake” by showing how they distorted his own words to make them say the opposite of what he was arguing.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Now Miller demands that CBS fire those involved in the CECOT story: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrcmYBkm/ Government censorship in practice

This is absolutely unconscionable! This is like if the EU banned me for my research. This stunt is purely political and shows how little free speech is respected by the current administration. Who benefits when we shut down independent watchdog nonprofits? apnews.com/article/stat...

Kate is correct!

Wicked smart take on why we need journalism education: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrv32GW4/

OU is wrong. Tens of thousands of people have read this paper and understand why this low-effort slop did not earn a grade. In fact, there were so many errors, there should be a negative grade for wasting everyone’s time. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrvpHDNa/

What does Bongino Know? If it was open to Musk, what does the former FBI agent know?

This is the most I’ve thought about a 60 Minutes segment in maybe my whole life so congrats to Bari

Mosh hogs live on in spirit… Up the punx. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrv1nrES/

Still amazed at how fast the 60mins CECOT segment got amplified online after it was withheld in the US. Thank you Canada! And now we can all watch it thanks to @archive.org and everyone else who’s fighting to keep it online. Watch. Download. Duplicate. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTr7oMMTJ/

Tour de force!

I LOVE THIS KIND OF STUFF. It’s crazy to me that some of the redacted Epstein files are just one keystroke away… The right is dying for a new “laptop from hell” to pull significant attention from the botched roll out. It’s clear MAGA is out and America First is in. www.wired.com/story/the-ep...

Student course evaluations are in and this is my favorite comment: “The class goes all over the place, but it’s a hell of a ride.”

Or Weissed?

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

What happened to leaning on a friend to process your relationships and feelings?

Addendum: this is, ofc, to say nothing of the Kirkification of social media, including that genAI "We Are Charlie Kirk" song and how it's been parodied. That's an adjacent phenomenon, and much, much more brain-rotted imo @hampton.bsky.social and @oloonik.bsky.social have some great writing on that

There's an interesting thing going on rn w/r/t Charlie Kirk's words and how they're being put to use after his death. First, ofc, we had the week or so when so much as posting a quote from Kirk without commentary was enough to invite accusations of "celebrating" (and ~600 people were fired). 1/x

The rise of the alt-right in 2017 molded Miller into the vicious eugenicist he has become. ICE is the embodiment of his malevolence. America is not a homeland for white Europeans as he imagines it. It’s always been a nation of immigrants and always will be.

My proudest moment of 2025 was launching the #TeslaTakedown actions and meeting thousands of smart, eager, and thoughtful patriots. Our movement certainly helped stopped DOGE and Musk in their tracks. May Americans never forget how much damage Musk did to our nation.

At least I’m rich in death. I got plenty of filler for everyone.

Well well well… looks like someone is going to become a main character in MAGA soon. He’s no Big Balls….

And may every day be another wonderful secret.

Literally every historian I know…

I am a wire hoarder and I approve this message

Why be something you’re not?

Lin the blame squarely on X. In fact, it’s time we buried the idea of twitter and call it what it is: X- the mobile death threat app
