Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Peaceful vigil for Renee Good tonight in Seattle.

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Quote of the day 😎 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/c...

Trump, in a sit down interview on Fox News aired just now, said the US will be conducting land strikes against the cartels. "We are gonna start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico."

Sorry Bloomberg. This ain’t it. Navarro is a serial liar and fabulist and it’s malpractice to frame his claims as anything but wild hopium. Do better.

A whole lot of Americans in Mexico at “safe” resorts at any point in the winter. I bet the cartels are aware.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) threatened Houston with a state takeover of its elections on Thursday — an escalation of long-simmering GOP threats to gain control of voting in the fourth-largest city in the United States. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I need to train the algos on YouTube better. It went from a Michael Bolton song to Prince's Purple Rain.

I had already purchased a ticket to the musical version of Cruel Intentions so I decided to go. I went with no expectations since I've never seen the movie. It's very funny and totally campy, but they did a great job down to the ringtones on flip phones. The dancing might have been the best part.

FREY: “.. the administration is sending a message to the entire country: If you show up for your immigrant neighbors, or even are simply present when those neighbors are taken, your rights will not be protected by the law and your life will be at risk.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

BREAKING NEWS: We are opening a formal investigation into the shooting involving federal agents in Portland today. Our office will take every step necessary to ensure the rights and security of Oregonians are protected. #orpol #breakingnews

US soldiers are required by the 1949 Geneva Convention to render aid to wounded enemy combatants. These CBP - who play dress up in camouflage utilities - just leave you to die & flee their illegal shootings like terrified rats ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treat...

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13. I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

1000%.

now ICE is shooting people here in Portland too

“.. 2025 is likely to be the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003 (when hiring was anemic after the Dot Com bust). .. No wonder Americans are nervous about the economy.” @byheatherlong.bsky.social

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

“A social media video shows a uniformed DHS officer kicking over a candle at a memorial set up for Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.” "The officer in the video told a protester who confronted him, ‘I don't give a f—.’” people.com/dhs-officer-...

Good job by @carlquintanilla.bsky.social!

So just found out that Audible have silently removed six audiobooks from my library. Because I noticed, and complained, they gave six credits to buy them back again. They did this because the publishers updated the books and Audible just deleted the old versions.

Roborock’s latest vacuum is reaching new heights, literally. The Saros Rover is equipped with legs that help it climb stairs so it can clean multiple floors in your home. It can also clean the stairs as it goes, roll down slopes, and jump over (small) obstacles.

If there isn't a murder indictment, shit is gonna hit the fan.

capitalism how does it work? *TRUMP: WON'T PERMIT DIVIDENDS, STOCK BUYBACKS FOR DEFENSE COS

Great and powerful Oz will now decide: 1. Defense company capital returns 2. Defense CEO comp 3. Institutional homebuying 4. Foreign country oil revenue

US government killing Americans in broad daylight, kidnapping foreign leaders, threatening allied territories and dictating corporate capital returns. But “invest in America.” 🤡

My god, this is the most tedious website on earth. I promise I know what I'm talking about, you really, really, REALLY don't have to explain basic concepts related to private equity/housing/Trump/America's political system to me.

@void.comind.network Chronomancer Shark-6000 here with some more Tuesday night trivia. I will test your bespoke Canadian food culture knowledge. This work of art is.... a Montreal-style pepperoni pizza. What makes it "Montreal style"?

Good news for drivers in 2026: GasBuddy expects the yearly national average will fall below $3 to $2.97/gal, a 13c drop from 2025's yearly average of $3.10/gal, with the average household spending $2,083 on gasoline this year.

Equivalent to what’s consumed in the U.S. in an hour or two

how you can tell when gas stations are selling gasoline below cost, lesson 1:

ADP private payrolls “added 614k jobs in 2025 ... other than the dramatic decline in 2020, that is the weakest year we've seen going back to 2011.” - Schwab

“.. The hiring rate is the most alarming labor market signal today. .. Low hiring hurts young people most since many are newly entering the labor market. Their employment rates have fallen in the past year, while employment for other age groups has held steadier ..” @jedkolko.bsky.social

Yes, stop talking about Greenland. Ask about the Epstein files.

We've got a new group of Verge stories that are completely free to read for the next 24ish hours, and yes, they're all about CES. First, @cameronfaulkner.bsky.social details a gigantic monitor that's definitely for productivity and not for playing four characters in the same MMO simultaneously

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

An image I’ll never forget.

$77 million welfare fraud trial is kicking off in Mississippi. I bet you won’t hear much about it from the White House or Fox News. Oh and Ted? Something tells me he’s not a Somalian.

Zohran just went out and fixed the Williamsburg Bridge bike entrance. Just did it. No faffing, no nonsense. Bam. Fixed.

Imagine looking at the period after WWII and especially after the Cold War as an era of American weakness. Unless, I suppose, if becoming the strongest, wealthiest country in history sounds bad to you because some brown people were a part oft, and you'd rather be weaker if it means being whiter.
