the confidence of men who have contributed absolutely nothing to society in passing judgment about the intelligence of entire groups of people will never stop amazing me. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Me with a scoop/exclusive Five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest, federal authorities “directed” NY law enforcement authorities to “stand down” their investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show. Part of new Timeline on NY and Epstein.

Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.

MS NOW's Ken Dilanian on Patel's USA hockey trip: "Nobody believes that Kash Patel would have been in that locker room had Donald Trump not made him the FBI director. It’s not like Kash Patel is famous on his own, so he clearly used his office to get this access and the taxpayers paid for the trip."

This is a money making scheme for all of them.

and klobuchar is ON it

JUST IN Judge Cannon's ruling is "impossible to square with the First Amendment," the Knight First Amendment Institute reacts in a statement: “There is no legitimate basis for its continued suppression." The group has a pending appeal seeking to intervene and order the report's release.

fraudulently devalue your paypal founder stock so it'll fit into a roth ira > secretly fund racist lawsuit to destroy gawker for outing you and to elect trump > call for the end of democracy and set up your technostate in occupied greenland guy with ever larger dominos dot jpg

Talking openly about this in public too, so I think it’s time to ask ourselves what we collectively want to do in response to a billionaire class that is not embarrassed about declaring themselves kings.

crave should not release heated rivalry season two in the us and we'd deserve it

Reopen the Bastille, I say

She's going to be a big problem. nypost.com/2026/02/20/u... - It's Hochul but in the city council.

No, the AfD is not "flirting with Nazi history" (www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...) - it is following the same playbook. I have never seen this author address the racist violence against non-white German citizens: it is an omission so consistent that it is by design. Pure intellectual dishonesty.

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan. darksky.org/news/two-sat...

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

This is important y’all. This is our chance to save the stars.

Here is @aoc.bsky.social thankfully telling everyone exactly what to do to stop a concentration camp from being built where you live. Please take it to heart and take action.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Donald Trump called on Netflix to fire board member Susan Rice or “pay the consequences,” after she said that Democrats would take action against corporations that “take a knee” to the president.

this kid was spirited away to a "short-term residency program" owned by Bethany Christian Services, an evangelical adoption agency connected to Betsy DeVos

absolutely blows my mind that Douglas Gordon's Play Dead, Real Time (Other Way), 2003, one of the greatest video installations of the 21st century, has an estimate at Christie's that'd barely get you a used Honda. We should name and shame the underbidders. greg.org/archive/2026...

He kept giggling nervously every time @brookegladstone.bsky.social hit him with facts, every time she’d refute his bullshit claims

On this day in 1956, local officials issued arrest warrants for civil rights activists for leading a boycott to protest racial segregation on city buses. 89 would later be indicted.

$75m bribe to Melania for a $7.8bn return seems like good business to me

I still don't understand how this isn't the headline everywhere. If Biden or Obama said the words, "I'm allowed to destroy the country" Fox News would be giving tips on where to buy pitchforks and torches.

among my favorite French Revolution details: the King's cousin, the Duke of Orleans, was so shook by the events of the revolution that he not only voted to execute his cousin but legally changed his name to Equality Phil.

Science reported last month that roughly one out of five Purdue doctoral students are of Chinese origin. That's ballgame for Purdue's reputation as a research institution: www.science.org/content/arti...

The “when not asked” sent me into the upper echelon of laughter

This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account

"Aw, man, now The Economist is scoring on us?"

George Wallace in 1962: "I started off talking about schools and highways and prisons and taxes and I couldn't make them listen. Then I began talking about n**rs and they stomped the floor." Donald Trump in 2023⬇️

I love the hater pope

Again where are the professional consequences for the misconduct of these prosecutors? Sanctions, disbarment

lmao tesIa from virginia started parallel parking, ran into the curb, and then just left their car there, sticking out diagonally in the road. big city: 1, suburban nazis: 0

That would buy almost an entire world's worth of international areas of study

I don’t know what FIFA was thinking when they went all in on Trump. Did they think, “oh the racists will make an exception for us?” They will not. Fans should stay at home.

I think as a society we must ask why we care so much about the thoughts of a marketing professor.

Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025. Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

the bedroom, with chrome, velvet, fur, wall-to-wall-carpet, and one of Warhol's earliest screenprint works. We've spent 60 years talking about Horst's photos of Cy Twombly's palazzo in Rome, and approximately zero years talking about Ugo Mulas's. greg.org/archive/2026...

This is an interesting story @nytimes.com It was even more interesting when I broke it a week and a day ago in The Intercept which you did not cite or mention.

The Heart of Fillmore, Utah

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study. The answer is that no IRB did. The person who “signed off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

I once sold him a hair dryer. That's my banal celebrity encounter.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.
