Pizzagate was real if you just replace the pizza parlor with Epstein Island and Hillary Clinton with Donald Trump.

Get rich… …or cry dying!

Chomsky’s tête-à-têtes with Epstein seem worse than naïve. They’re obituary-marring. Chomsky may still be an intellectual giant, but his moral giantism is no longer a done deal. trib.al/w299lzt

NEVER CONNECT YOUR TV TO THE INTERNET

It's really important for people to internalize that, in the eyes of Washington DC's foreign policy establishment, the biggest sin of the Obama presidency was concluding a deal with Iran that objectively satisfied the demands that Washington DC pretends to believe in.

watching a guy with 8.8M subscribers put out this propaganda: there's a transnational far-right power grab and you're not ready for it

crazy to me that no one at youtube or google is ever even, like, asked about this stuff anymore, let alone pushed to take responsibility. regardless of whether a PRMC/moral majority-type campaign would be a good idea, is the respectable center really so anemic/captured that it won't even try?

This is such a well done piece that reports out, with hard data and interviews, something profound about what's gone wrong in this country. www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

Vladimir Putin’s top aides are snickering behind Donald Trump’s back at how they say the Russian tyrant is playing the U.S. president like a fiddle.

Same as what happened in Canada. First time I've ever been thankful for Trump.

Feel like I'm going crazy. Holocaust survivors spent decades telling everyone, "The fascists will come back. When they do, first you will see this, then they will do that, then this will happen," and so forth. And it's all proceeding exactly as foretold. After they died, everyone just . . . forgot.

Like come on. They're just going down the list.

A white woman who is not a doctor & doesn’t believe in science is currently undergoing Senate confirmation hearings to be the US Surgeon General. Black people, don’t EVER let these people tell you that you are a “diversity hire” or don’t deserve the roles you have so richly prepared for & earned.

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

The spectre of a referendum is already costing Quebec $20 million a year, according to Finance Minister Eric Girard.

things started going down hill after the great ‘what color is that dress’ schism of 2015

Every. Single. Time. In the fight between ethics and profits, ethics will lose.

They are in an arms race against Americans

Cool. Are they paying artists yet?

If your work requires using Teams you should probably just quit

Nobody's gonna miss the Ayatollah, but the dude was 86 years old. They didn't need to bomb the whole country. They could have just waited him out. It wasn't gonna be much longer.

Really wish someone would launch a regime change war against the US

OPERATION EPIC FURRY TAKE THAT WOKE!!!

Paramount buying Warner Bros is like Chuck E. Cheese buys buying McDonald's

ICYMI — BILL CLINTON: "Mr. Netanyahu has long wanted to fight Iran, because that way he can stay in office."

For the record, Paramount is not buying Warner Bros. Larry Ellison is buying Warner Bros.

It's not like CNN has been a reliable news agency for quite some time, but being under the thumb of the Ellisons and Bari Weiss is by far the worst possible outcome.

I like the women's team way more than the men's...

Getting it from both sides

The Defense Secretary wants to make AI *less* safe. That seems like a bad plan for defense.

The only Constitution that seems to matter to Thomas is the one that exists in his imagination. trib.al/5SYv13R

It's Game of Thrones all over again...

Supreme Court: Racism is fine because we don't want to pay $3 to mail a letter.

Breaking MS NOW: Agents with the FBI's elite evidence response team were delayed in reaching the scene of a mass shooting at Brown U. in December because there was no FBI plane available. Kash Patel was in south Florida at the time with one of the FBI's two available jets.

The problem is not that he used the FBI plane. The problem is that he went to the Olympics. WHY WAS THE FBI DIRECTOR PARTYING AT THE OLYMPICS!?

You know, just like Jesus taught

Former Vice President Kamala Harris told podcaster Sharon McMahon on Tuesday that she has not yet ruled out the possibility of yet another presidential campaign. trib.al/49kiMme

You know how you can tell that Epstein was a Russian spy? Because no billionaire hangs out with college administrators because of how fun and cool they are. And we know that college girls are too old for his clientele...

Years before the FBI and NY district attorney opened probes into Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, the Drug Enforcement Administration was reportedly examining him for suspicious money transfers they believed could be linked to illegal drug purchases. trib.al/PS7BWWF

The CEO of Siemens, a giant manufacturing supplier, flat out told me on Decoder that US factory buildout talk was partially theater, and that anything being built here should be as automated as possible because we don't have the skilled labor supply anyway www.theverge.com/podcast/8752...
