CPJ finds 129 journalists and media workers were killed in 2025 — the highest annual toll since CPJ began collecting data in 1992. It marks the second consecutive annual record for press death. Israel was responsible for more than two-thirds of the global total in 2025. cpj.org/special-repo...

White Christian nationalism tried out a beta version in Uganda, in the form of… Black white Christian nationalism

An actual American hero who actually deserves a medal of freedom, posthumously. She did so much valuable research and debunked so much of the “Jaws” bullshit.  BTW – Trump is deathly afraid of sharks

Epstein was an extortionist who’s activities hollowed out world power structures . Trump is a wrecking ball set in motion to destroy Western power. The government regime they created, with help from our enemies of abroad, is a massive theft operation. We are looking at the end of Empire #Downfall

We have to stop these people. These are all crimes in progress against Americans , against human beings #GeneralStike 

He just loves to discuss death and murder in slow loving detail

@briannatucker.bsky.social, former national politics breaking news reporter for the Washington Post, made this observation on X tonight. The largest contribution to the union's fund for laid off Post staff came from the Post's first Black woman reporter. www.gofundme.com/f/standing-t...

I became friends with Hunter over two very different decades— but in the end we grew close because of our children, and the prospect of “checking out.” This is my interview with his wonderful son, Juan Thompson, whose memoir is one-of-a-kind.

When MY disability presents problems for myself and others, it’s incumbent upon me to arrange my public presentation such that difficulties and embarrassments are minimized. Every person with disability knows this. Except, apparently, the superstar at BAFTA? It was deliberate IMHO

Thirty years ago @susiebright.bsky.social was kind enough to leave me with this after an in-store signing. Thanks Susie!

How many times do we have to “completely obliterate” Iran’s nuclear capabilities to completely obliterate Iran’s nuclear capabilities? Two times? Three times? How many times is enough times? #JailDonaldTrump

The U.S. press is 100% going to help the Trump DOJ pretend its "antitrust inquiry" into Netflix is in good faith, in order to transfer ownership of Warner Brothers (and CNN, HBO, Discovery) to Trump's friend Larry Ellison

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

BINGO

I propose a compromise: Team Canada and Connor Hellebuyck get gold medals, and the rest of team USA get silvers

Connor Hellebuyck after this game:

NH state house passes "CHARLIE Act," which bans teaching, I kid you not, "critical consciousness" & "prohibited world-views," such as that queer people exist, or that slavery involved race, or, implicitly, that the Nazis murdered Jews based on identity. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/19/h...

The stench of desperation riseth up from the pit of despair that is now American Protestantism

“Spending three days on the ground in Minneapolis brought home something that may not be obvious from afar: Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population.” www.thebulwark.com/p/what-i-saw...

"Another glorious day at Milan Cortina for the Olympic Games! I'm Buck Laughlin, joined by Trevor Beckwith—Trevor have you ever driven a Milan Cortina?" "...I, I don't think—" "Great mileage, needs a roomier back seat. Gas grass or 'uh-oh,' nobody rides for free. Trevor Beckwith, your thoughts."

Yes, I remember when I had my first child and had to build 30 data centers to feed them.

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

If there’s an organization more politically corrupt than the Olympic committee… Oh never mind

Remember the name, Dilley, Texas… and the evil that is being done there. And the people who live there and ARE making a living off of this evil. And the federal government that is funding this evil. And remember that WE ALL PAID FOR THIS #TAXREVOLT #GENERALSTRIKE

Be super careful up there. These snows are very heavy. Avalanches in places we’ve never seen.

As a once-reluctant convert to audiobooks/now vp of the Scott Brick fanclub , I am fascinated by this topic.

I never dreamed I’d be asked if I was the “first podcaster” or produce thousands of digital audiobooks all over the world. I just like a good story at bedtime! I made a new video class: “How To Make an Audiobook and Do It Well.” It’s for authors, actors, & people who love the spoken word.

Welcome to the Plutocracy

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them. www.404media.co/government-l...

Do not let the fact that some hackers are sketchy overwhelm the reality that a few of them are much, much worse than that. Speaking generally. techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/h...

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

There’s nothing Democrats should accept that’s worth funding this.

It should not go unremarked that all those employed in these kidnap gangs, roving bands of thugs and tools made out to be law-enforcement are being damaged beyond redemption by association, by actions, by mere proximity, and by moral failure. And oath breakers often become suicidal. #AbolishDHS

It really is exquisitely prescient that the bridge was named the Gordie Howe International Bridge in 2015, given that Gordie Howe is the source of the phrase "elbows up". So yeah, #ElbowsUp motherfuckers.

Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer on the Gordie Howe bridge: "Canadians have paid for the bridge. The bridge was built with organized labor, union labor on both sides of the bridge, including Michiganders." #cdnpoli
