It's hard to tell what's actually happening in the video that purports to show Epstein's suicide but 1) the video is hosted at justice.gov and 2) it's in a directory called Data Set 8, which would be the next release. It looks fake to me, but that doesn't explain why it's on the real DOJ site.

Han has been horrifically depressed since we lost Leia. He's had a lot of behavioral changes. And this is my sad fucking boy, lying in front of Leia's wool cave, as he has done every day. She spent a lot of time there when sick.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

It does have a flared base.

My absolute favorite holiday tradition is Lampreia de Ovos, a Portuguese Christmas dessert which contains zero (0) actual lamprey but 50 (!) egg yolks, sugar, and almonds - and is shaped to look like a lamprey. Don’t forget cherries for the eyes! #25DaysofFishmas www.atlasobscura.com/foods/lampre...

Also not my favorite but it's up there is Cards on the Table I love it because Christie has an insert character in the book, and doesn't take herself seriously at all, she pokes fun at herself the whole book.

Just finished Curtains, the last book with Poirot by Agatha Christie. I was nervous about it because I know she killed him off because she really didn't like the character. It's a good book and a good send off. It wouldn't make my top ten list of her books, but I did like it.

I regret to inform you that really bad history is happening.

EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items. It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too. Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.

I love how the only acceptable big city in Hallmark Xmas movies is Chicago but in their Hannukah movies they allow New York City.

I’m sorry ezra but I could swear you told me the cruel folks were doing this the right way

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

oh the CBS bosses went to dylan byers? then they are definitely lying.

Why did CBS delete this promo and cancel this from airing in full?

i genuinely think they broke search engines and shit on purpose so you're more likely to rely on ChatGPT and AI Overview tbh.

Happy Solstice! ❄️ Here’s one of my recent winter frogs. #frogart

"We have come this far, always believing That justice will somehow prevail This is the burning, this is the promise And this is why we will not fail." Chag sameach, y'all.

yes, I would love Indigenous villains. I don't trust white people to fucking write them. I think ya'll have controlled the narrative for long enough, actually

Agreed. Without net neutrality it’s gonna be the same no matter what we do.

I was expert in using the internet for research and finding things...almost anything. It's utterly broken now, and sometimes impossible to navigate. And we can only catch what are outright lies, when we have a knowledge base to start, and are skeptical of everything which for most is exhausting.

And just ordinary search engines used to do this really well! Then they intentionally broke them for more ad money and keep making them worse to push their AI junk. It's unfortunately the case right now where the LLM is better for some things because the search engine was broken on purpose.

Back in my day, we had to learn the Dewey decimal system!

“”LLMs allow me to find research for the first time!” My brother in Christ, have you ever heard of a library?

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

All of these links went to promotion of this story earlier today. All these links are dead now — that's how thoroughly they've scrubbed this.

Aww thank you! I’m awesome …. And This is something that works for me because I work in tech and media There are so many versions of me in so many places because human behavior is full of patterns Of good and bad and everything in between It’s why I’m bonkers about SYSTEMICALLY listening

So all my long threads about this shit could be summed up as this, said *perfectly* It's so good you guys.

Pluribus rules because it’s forcing people who wanna see a bunch of sci fi lore dumps to instead watch amazing actors have incredibly interesting conversations about what it means to be a person

I didn't get vaccinated last year. And while being a hermit, caught Influenza A. Then I almost died from sepsis over Christmas. I'm still recovering from that. Get vaccinated. It saves lives.

It's always worth getting the shot. It's got 2 strains of Flu A and 1 strain of Flu B usually, and you don't know what strain you got last year either. Even if you still get the flu they drastically reduce the chance of severe outcomes: healthsci.mcmaster.ca/seasonal-flu...

And she sees far and through things. I can't laud her enough, truly. You should all be following @blackamazon.bsky.social

Sydette is one of those people I very much *listen* to. She's a truth speaker.

I’m just remembering when people kept telling me Bari Weiss wasn’t that bad because I was “picking on her” And I need folks to understand how the way these people escalate has been a fact of my life ALL MY FUCKING LIFE

MEDICAL SKY I had influenza A last year. Does that give me protection against this super flu going around, since the jab has a different strain this year. Thank you in advance. 💕

Today would be a good day to restore Link's account on Bluesky.

Also if I were cursed with fame, I'd show up at TPUSA but my speech would be quite different.

It's your birthday, Duane.

"Ah, Draco...without you...were do we turn?" "To the stars, Bowan...to the stars." DRAGONHEART (1996) is a pretty winning family friendly fantasy. A fun and rascally buddy comedy that turns into a tale of resistance to tyranny and oppression, chivalry, honor, justice, and friendship. Good stuff!

Also just like with what's going on in the world, the Nazis are going hard because Trump is very mortal. They'd like to outlive him, and are jockeying for position.

Looks like I gotta go see avatar 3!

CBS has fallen.

No spoilers. One of the things I really like in #Pluribus reviews are when people talk about areas I don't know or notice. One of the things some reviewers focus on are the use of colors in the show and how certain scenes have specific or often 3 color palettes and why they think that is
