Kash Patel is on Fox & Friends kissing Trump's ass and you can hear an aide screaming "guys, you cannot be adjusting his light!" as they struggle with his shot

Sources close to the White House say Trump’s disinterest in boosting María Corina Machado was due her accepting the Nobel Peace Prize — an award he's openly coveted. “If she had turned it down ... she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” they said.

ICYMI: "Syria’s government has ordered soldiers to guard a mass grave created to conceal atrocities under Bashar al-Assad and has opened a criminal investigation, following a Reuters report …” www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

Basset hounds are the A-10 Warthogs of dogs. The A-10 was a gun with a plane built around it, while the basset is a nose with a dog attached.

On one hand, who cares, she’s a TV “reporter,” not in the top 300 of important court watchers. On the other, when elites become so unmoored from basic standards of behavior (Don’t Take Secret Yacht Vacations From Billionaires isn’t a close one), society is in deep trouble.

“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what a US Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. My column on the condemnation of good journalism.

I actually heard a French person in the street say ‘Sacrebleau!’ I thought for a moment I was in a 1970s dodgy TV comedy.

Merry Christmas to everyone except @eurostarnews.bsky.social, who just dumped a full trainload of London-bound passengers in Brussels with no advance warning and no way of getting home this evening

Wayback Machine grabbed the original Epstein files dump before that photo of Trump got pulled. You can't get to the individual PDF page for the missing image, but if you click "download all files" and download it locally you can find the now-deleted file in: IMAGES / 0001 / EFTA00000468.pdf

The Epstein Files, everybody!

Ok. It’s time to start thinking about the largest Pokes flag I could reasonably take to the Garth Brooks show in London this summer. Planning is important.

They’re not mad. Just disappointed.

🚨Hey #gijn25 — late addition to the schedule…Come see Feras Delatey and I talk at 3p today about the tools/methods behind the Reuters discovery of an enormous mass grave in the Syrian desert and the 2-year conspiracy to fill it with tens of thousands of bodies from another publicly known mass grave.

Come see us at #gijn25

Franklin was trying to Hungry Hungry Hippo the treats before his sis could get them and, well, you could say it backfired.

At Fox News main website, there is top-of-fold coverage of a 'scandal' involving Michelle Obama wearing Bermuda shorts to the Grand Canyon in 2009. But absolutely zero mention of Jeffrey Epstein's newly revealed more expansive links to Donald Trump.

Evergreen statement

“Also, imagine the look on your professor’s face when you submit an analysis using yeet() and squad_up().”

In my opinion @liyuan6.bsky.social is the most insightful writer on contemporary China today. In this essay, she reflects on Silicon Valley's misconceptions (it doesn't help that tech bros mostly stay in 5-star hotels in Shanghai as their idea of "China"):

And another thing while I’m on my soapbox. Those of us in the #datajournalism community have really dropped the ball not involving the remote sensing world more in our training programs. Satellite data is an indispensable source around the world but we seem to treat it like some “other.”

For #RemoteSensing and #datajournalism universe, here's a lesson I learned reporting on our @reuters team's discovery of a secret mass grave in the Syrian desert --- and the two-year conspiracy to fill it with tens of thousands of bodies. www.reuters.com/investigates...

The Syria team from @reuters.com provides sourcing and background on their devastating investigation into efforts by the Assad regime to conceal evidence of mass murder by moving the corpses of victims. www.reuters.com/investigates...
