ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

I dunn0 man, I dunn0.

Pretty infuriating: King Gizzard quit Spotify over ethical concerns -- and now Spotify is letting AI knockoffs of its music (with all the lyrics copied verbatim) proliferate on its platform futurism.com/future-socie...

Shit posting is the best form of science communication, how else do you get people to eat their veggies without a little treat? Now, time learn a little about evolution with Jokes. 🧪🐟

Nobody gives a shit about Palantir's Hobbit thing, it will never be fetch.

Based on the facts recounted by the Senator, the two do sound “shipwrecked” for LOAC purposes. But they were never lawful targets in the first place even if LOAC applied. And LOAC doesn’t apply because there is no armed conflict. Term for premeditated killing outside of armed conflict is murder.

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

Here’s my Spotify Wrapped 🎵✨

"You wanna continue our drug run?" "Ok."

👴🏻"But we have to protect US auto worker jobs!"🤡 Everyone who says this is lying. Because when you call their bluff and try to protect US auto worker jobs directly, they say no. Then they dismantle the NLRB. And you protect US auto worker jobs by making affordable, competitive cars in the US.

This person who openly advocates war crimes, who lobbied for pardons for war criminals, and repeatedly disdains the laws and ethics of war, the one we confirmed as Secretary of Defense, turns out to have done war crimes. Shocking! (But hey, if they're finally coming around, better late than never.)

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

every neoliberal policy analyst wants to "trim the fat" of society until the lean times come. community level resilience, redundancies, etc are good actually

I feel that partisanship has to be destroyed, and the way to do that is for each of us to promote our non-orthodox stances. Blur the boundaries.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

For folks who think that "most" college athletics programs are revenue-positive for their schools, go to this table and sort by "percent allocated." sportsdata.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances

This was labeled “Negro mis-rule” when people were arguing to end Reconstruction.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

good news everyone the Mistaken Text From Grandma Thanksgiving buddy drama is still going strong this story delights me every year

2022 ProPublica report on CIA-trained "Zero Units" in Afghanistan, a former member of which shot two National Guard troops in DC yesterday

HSBC forecasts that OpenAI is going to have nearly a half trillion in operating losses until 2030

People are calling my lede here "appalling," "nightmare fuel," "actively evil," and "a desecration of the human spirit"

Don’t forget that *Trump’s own lawyer’s argument* to the Supreme Court in the immunity case was that the check on the President using his immunity to order criminal acts was that those under him would not follow illegal orders. Now it’s a crime for lawmakers to remind servicemembers of that?

People piping in to "akshually" me about the identity of the shooter. Let me be clear: I wrote this before I knew who it was. Because that doesn't change my assessment: Fuck that asshole. Dudes w/ guns shooting people who aren't literally shooting at them? Always assholes. Easy!

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

You can help struggling billionaire owners of big tech companies that can’t build AI data centers fast enough by closing accounts and canceling subscriptions

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Holy shit

“Prosecutors think they’ve found a constitutional loophole — if you can’t punish reporting it, punish transporting it.” We wrote for @theintercept.com about how efforts to criminalize possession of words threaten press freedom.

Can you draw a Cool S?: easier on mobile than desktop, my best score is 5.34 https://vole.wtf/cool-s/

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

omg they made Jeffrey Epstein Inbox Simulator '25 jmail.world

I feel like we're going to learn that Trump is happy to share intel on American residents for the tidy sum of $2B.

Both "The Floor" and "99 to Beat" are pretty amazing game show TV.

Are all public FaceTimers just one person watching another person shop?

Fish have committed credit card fraud

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Lindsey Halligan's confession that she didn't re-present the indictment to the grand jury creates problems even beyond the fact that that likely means there's no indictment. Count 2 of the existing indictment relies on the count grand jurors rejected. www.emptywheel.net/2025/11/19/l...

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now

I am once again asking white people to handle their Nuzzi/Lizza business in the privacy of their own pumpkin spiced brunch table and leave the rest of us the fuck alone with this poorly written bullshit

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Props where due, Google nav just led me through a pretty nutty backwoods route across town.

Remember: Tesla is included in the MAG7 when it comes to stock valuations but excluded when it comes to earnings 🧐 🧐 🧐

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

"American girls have to sell sex to the nominee for attorney general of the United States to get braces" sounds like Soviet propaganda

Once the Epstein files are released, DO NOT let the people who enabled MAGA claim that they were tricked. These people knew what was going on with the GOP for years because we have been telling them, they just didn't care.

Ken Starr, immediately after being fired for his role in the coverup of sexual abuse at Baylor: I should reach out to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein this happened! this is a thing that happened!
