jesus man

“wanting to be a shitty person and hanging out with other shitty people and then being surprised pikachu when they are shitty to you” really is the perfect summary of the modern right

So @josephcox.bsky.social watched over six hours of this deposition featuring DOGE staffer Justin Fox who, when asked how he defined “DEI” kept saying he needed to refer to the EO. Highlights here:

Scoop: Here’s the bonkers story of how a foreign hacker inadvertently (?) broke into an evidence server holding FBI Epstein material in 2023 and then threatened to call in law enforcement when they found it was full of CSAM. www.reuters.com/world/us/for...

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Another container ship suffers light damage and a fire from a projectile 35 nautical miles north of Jebel Ali, UAE. Crew safe.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

chat, this seems....kind of....bad eh? www.techdirt.com/2026/03/11/a...

Crazy video of 20 Tomahawks flying through the Iraqi Kurdish mountains near Sulaymaniyah (filmed by someone standing *above* them), seemingly fired from Navy vessels in the Mediterranean

i would not have published this story, as someone who's read literally thousands of threat bulletins cosigned or circulated by the FBI

4/5

ahhh yes, noted scumbag, Matt Ridley. A massive crank and all around jackass: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Ri...

wooooooooo lordy.

Prediction: A book titled “‘Touching the Stove’: Four American Presidents At War in the Mideast” Or some-such, published in the next half-decade.

The world is being set on fire by a 79 year old with a ten year old’s vocabulary whose adult advisors interact with him like he’s a hangry toddler who skipped his nap.

shitshow as you’d expect

Why would we bail out President Trump from the catastrophic consequences of his own decisions

"Why won't the Iranian just give us a ceasefire when we broke our not!treaty with them and keep attacking them every nine months? Why don't they take us at our word??"

Oddly enough I had that thought yesterday

Does your child check the weather? Well think again, because pedophiles also check the weather. If your child checks the weather they may be a victim of sexual exploitation. Yesterday @troyhunt shared this photo online. You have to do age verification to check the weather.

It’s no secret that investigative journalism is on life support. The economics of the profession, always shaky, have become increasingly untenable. If you enjoyed this, or any of my other work, and are looking for a full-time editor or writer, get in touch! www.politico.com/news/magazin...

I've been thinking about whether to post this, but Adam Serwer's latest column convinced me. Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes continues to push a story about "Havana Syndrome." I want to look away from the way he presents the story and suggest a different sort of evidence. 1/

I know this is a grave moment of international crisis, but saying "Iran can't do that, it would be suicide!" is the funniest thing ever. If the heads of the Iranian government, the US military, Hezbollah, and Israel heard someone say that they'd no shit call each other to laugh about it together.

folks I don't think regular shipments of oil and gas are going to be happening any time soon

lol. lmao. the gaslighting.

I watched an excerpt of his testimony over and over again yesterday and noted that he is a walking, talking exemplar of insulated and deluded white male privilege and arrogance.

I have literally watched something like 5 hours of this DOGE bro testimony. I'm completely obsessed, it's weirdly captivating. The circular arguments, the disdain from everyone involved, a true pleasure to watch Follow 404 Media on Instagram (www.instagram.com/404mediaco/) for more like this

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

this all makes much more sense when you realize the people described here aren't """farmers,""" as society understands them (which no longer exist in the US) but are actually a combination of petit bourgeois+slavers who haven't performed a day of honest work in their lives

A newly published video shows that a US Tomahawk missile hit a medical clinic inside an IRGC base and near a primary school in the southern Iranian town of Minab where the authorities said 168 people, including around 110 children, were killed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Media, for the love of God how about not showing up one day. Nobody there. And then do that the next day. And the next.

everyone is extraordinarily desperate to pretend that Donald Trump is a coherent individual with a real plan who understands what is happening in the world and none of that is true

saying that trump is giving “conflicting signals” here really, really sanewashes how completely incoherent this is, but everyone’s looking for the barest shred of something to hold onto rather than admit the obvious

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei • More hardline than father • He’s the IRGC candidate • Relatively young: 56 • Avoids public • Trusted by father, clerics • Was in military during Iraq-Iran war • His wife, Zahra, killed in Israeli airstrike w his father

SANTA CLAUS IS REAL (Glonzo too but, whole nother story)
