David Brooks is now the third alleged Jeffery Epstein associate at the New York Times. This potentially includes A.G. Sulzberger, the current chairman of the NYT board. The NYT published this piece by David Brooks about Epstein less than a month ago. Why did their executive leadership allow this?

If Starmer 2.0 means nothing else, perhaps it can mean this…

In 2014, Russia violated Ukraine’s borders&shattered our peace. “For 12 years, Ukrainians have fought every single day to restore it – and not a single day have we been safe from brutal Russian attacks,”MFA of Ukraine stated 📹MFA of Ukraine

I cannot get over how little international attention this horrendous conflict and its awful consequences receive. #Sudan

The New York Times smeared AOC for saying “um”

the current U.S. president has a head full of mashed potatoes, operates at a third-grade reading level, and genuinely has no idea how anything works, but you'll notice that's not a consistent narrative in NYT reporting AOC says "um" and it's an entire fucking newscycle the intent ain't subtle

Thank God for Virginia Giuffre. She deserves so much credit for her bravery and tenacity. She, along with other survivors who refused to be quiet, made this happen.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

listen to the Trumpian way that Farage tries to silence my tenacious colleague @annasophiegross.bsky.social (who was politely asking a reasonable question)

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

interesting example today: my dad is going through a very tough personal life thing (not my place to talk about it), was saying he needs to stop looking at facebook because it's showing him endless posts about grief. but he didn't know how to turn off iOS app notifications until i showed him.

Robert Duvall, the legendary actor whose career has spanned over six decades, has died at 95, his wife announced

If left unchecked, we are racing towards a world where searching for "struggling to breastfeed" makes baby formula more expensive for you in your local supermarket (that's one dystopian example anyway)

Well played.

I think I’m going to go in a different direction for health advice.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

"...and that concludes our intensive three-day pitch to your employer and/or government"

Yes, that’s why my family left Germany because they really wanted to go to Great Britain and sort of missed it by thaaat much

Investors are spooked by AI from every angle. SaaS stocks are tanking on disruption fears, while Big Tech (e.g. Amazon, Microsoft) is being dumped over worries of massive data center overspending. Whether it’s obsolescence or heavy Capex, fear and anxiety are ruling the market right now.

The AI bros (who clearly don't understand AI) in the comments are hilarious. "ask stupid questions, get stupid answers". LLMs have no concept of how intelligent a question is, and they certainly were not designed to deliberately give stupid responses if they deem your question too stupid. 1/?

Reform are making memes attacking Zack Polanski for not doing drugs. Amazing work.

greatest headline of my adult life

Mayor Frey on Tom Homan saying DHS had "some issues" in Minneapolis: "'Issues' would be certainly the understatement of the century. These are people that should be alive today. Alex and Renee were standing up for their neighbors. Constitutionally protected activity was taking place."

Outstanding. A triumph for liberty and against unrestrained state power. The government should be ashamed of having to be forced into this position. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Even the RNC knows. Plus, it’s not what she said.

any country with multi-party parliamentary democracy that doesn't also implement ranked choice voting is thwarting the democratic will of their voters.

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!
