I'm back what did I miss

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Zoomer here: I did the same! Calvin & Hobbes and Pearls Before Swine were the two big ones for my childhood!

Being right about trump was boring, tedious, partisan, ideological. Being wrong about trump? Heterodox, contrarian, free thinking.

Stranger Things was so good. I just finished the finale. Just… oh my god. What a great show. I need a few hours to process this.

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

the way l know we’re cooked is no one even bothered pretending that ai is gonna bring us 30 hour work weeks or ubi or healthcare that isn’t tied to your job, it’s just an argument between people who think it’s goods enough to replace us and people who say it sucks

I can't believe J.D. Vance went on TV and said "Ich bin Evil! Ich bin Evil!!! Ich bin der Evil kleine Chocolate Boy!!" with chocolate smeared all over his mouth and lederhosen. But he did. And we all saw it

Photos from yesterday were up on Commons last night but I was too tired to post any here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categor...

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

YESS MY PHOTO IS IN DA GUARDIAN

My scheming vizier when I start to cough after taking a swig of wine from my goblet

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

Whether it’s Democrats putting their pronouns in email signatures or Republicans shooting and killing unarmed drivers, both sides have taken actions that the other side finds threatening.

I just saw a DHS car drive by downtown

A woman named Renee Good was murdered this afternoon in Minnesota by the masked gestapo. New Yorkers protested it this evening. Here are photos of it: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categor...

10,000 people honoring Renee Nicole Good at the site of her murder

New: DHS is lying to you. At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis. Shots clearly fired while vehicle already turning away from the officer. But DHS lied. Trump lied. Noem lied. Even judges have catalogued DHS' serial lying www.404media.co/dhs-is-lying...

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Arrest them all

great timing!

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

the nyt says that no version of events in minneapolis can be "verified independently." but that's not true! there are multiple videos proving that the ICE version of events is a total lie. maybe the nyt can, y'know, watch one of them? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

the video is out, there is no reason to not send local law enforcement to arrest the ice agent in question and yes i know they will refuse to hand them over and you treat that exactly how you would treat it under any other similar circumstance

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

This is the video.

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

this man (RFK Jr) is so weird

The text faded to the paywall at the same rate as my eyes would have glazed over anyway

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

getting photos captioned and making structured data around it is a pain so here are the photos from this afternoon outside the courthouse where maduro was arraigned commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categor...

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

magical

ahahahaha

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

Very good and very depleting article from a few days ago:

Uploaded 220 photos of today's Venezuela protest in Times Square & Columbus Circle to Commons: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Categor...

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day. Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

The Trump admin is what happens when you run the Bush admin through AI.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Foggy
