you need to understand that I don't have TIME in my life right now to FIGHT with you you stupid crystalized honey bear

Should we start referring to data centers as "hot boxes"?

HOOOOOO boy. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.): "Do you consider yourself a religious man?" Lyons: "Yes ma'am." McIver: "How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?" "Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?"

Is that weird? Is it weird that I asked if that was weird? Is it weird that I asked if that was weird that I asked if that was weird??

I had a lovely time with my wife upstairs, and then after she fell asleep, I texted a great meme to my two teenagers gaming downstairs. The future is wild, yall.

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

Dominoes are falling, per @ruddock.bsky.social.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

JD Vance loudly booed at the Winter Olympics today.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

"Why, you must needs be strangers, would you be pleas’d To find a nation of such barbarous temper That breaking out in hideous violence Would not afford you an abode on earth."

one of the most brilliant comments about "AI Art" is that to be an artist you have to fail over and over again before you "succeed". AI Art is failure that stays as a failure. All it can do is recreate what you get from advertising, which always (and only) wants something from the target market

Chris Murphy: "The rule of law may be suspended today... But the rule of law is coming back. And everyone who greased their palms on government bribes is going to jail." I'll vote for whoever campaigns on these: 👇🏼👆🏻 1. Abolish DHS 2. Restore the rule of law 3. Prosecute violators 4. NO mercy

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

Call your Senators and say HELL NO

Please call your Senators at 202-224-3121 & tell them to vote NO on the GOP’s so-called “SAVE Act.”

For all the “drawdown” talk ICE continues to be all over Minneapolis. Feels endless

But also, this may be one of the best conflict-of-interest statements ever?

Sometimes you have to say it out loud to appreciate how dire t all is: The president just openly declared his plans to steal the midterm elections — in an interview with the former number two person at the FBI.

If asked to describe the major features of the Epstein archipelago looming out of its offshore dark money and billionaire kompromat - I’d say Putin, Trump, Musk, Bannon and Thiel And with that you have a map of our current political era

💯

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

These Patches Are Clues to Identifying Immigration Agents We built a guide to patches worn by ICE and CBP to help the public determine which federal agents are in their communities. theintercept.com/2026/01/28/i...

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

At about 1m20 the most non-elite US mall ninja shows up with a bafflingly seemingly self inflicted bleeding nose, tucks a shotgun under his taint before tossing a munition canister god knows where, then starts shooting at journalists. If you saw this in a war videogame you’d think it was broken.

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

"Silly Love Songs" sounds like the final project of someone who's failing a class called "Writing Like Paul McCartney".

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

😅

mamdani is doing what we have been begging dems to do since obama was in office. every time he does something, he is in front of a camera. it's like a DAILY MTV kurt loder news break. those junk fee policies are biden policies, and no one knows. dems expect people to just "get it" but they don't.

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down. This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

If the executive branch can unilaterally cut off federal funding to specific states the union has already been dissolved.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen. Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Happy 2026! "We're gonna survive this weird feeling" is my new "ommmm".

This is how you do it folks

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

I want someone to make a disaster prep book called A Preparey Home Companion

ICE whistles work.

thoughts? feelings?
