the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

oh man this is so good

i have had several of these “for science” (volunteered for a clinical trial studying the efficacy of different injection sites for an hiv vaccine, way back in like 2006) and they aren’t exactly comfortable but i promise that you can do it and your butt is worth it!

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

i am driving my cats to the vet for their vaccines this morning and man they really have special “fuck this car” yells lol

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

This can be a tough week for a lot of people and I just want to remind anyone who needs to hear it that this week really does end and there is life beyond it. ✊🏽

The Trump supporter who runs CBS news just killed a story about Trump’s favorite torture prison. Here’s why America has a liberal media bias problem.

missing the broncos-jags game for the best possible reason - a memorial pig roast fiesta for a beloved local in my small town, don davíd. i’m in charge of handing out the drink tickets which is a good job to have. happy solstice, and may the light come back into your world, even if only slowly.

as a tom brady hater this thread is *art* lmao

“matthew 6:5 motherfucker, i am not your mission field & neither is this plane, i’m trying to get [wherever] in peace, listening to this shit is worse than a crying baby because the baby can’t help it but *you* have a choice. sit down and shut up.” i’ll take whatever consequences there might be lmao

Matt Yglesias has been a morally bankrupt hack since he was a cheerleader for the invasion of Iraq as a college student. The fact that I still have to hear about his opinions more than two decades later is as a damning indictment of our information environment as I can imagine.

tomorrow i’m gonna go hand out the drink tickets for a big-ass mexican memorial service for a friend’s dad, where there will be a giant pig roast and much tequila and i hope it’s going to be a very healing time for all involved

this bears packers game started out as a snoozefest and is, um, no longer one of those lol

between this and the jake paul fight i’m really enjoying bad people getting punched right in the face

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

shootings have been the #1 cause of death for kids in this country since 2020. our politicians and courts and society have repeatedly proven themselves incapable of stopping this shit so i’m on the repeal the second amendment train now.

Every year we, especially those of us who live in communities with organized white pride groups, bravely tell our neighbors and strangers who may pass our homes that there are Jews in the house, Jews in their community, Jews among them. We are self-identifying to people who may wish to harm us.

If you’re not white make sure you carry your fucking freedom papers with you bsky.app/profile/radl...

yes this but also as usual it’s about who is making the money

*sixty thousand people* in *three weeks* on the *low end* and i have not heard a single thing about this from an american news source. not saying there’s nothing in our press but there’s nothing much. jesus christ

apart from the sheer inconceivable horror of the El Fasher massacre and its attendant horrors itself, the thing I'm feeling depressed about is that it probably won't matter. these were people already on the utmost margins of the global system, who the world has already decided it doesn't care about

20 minutes until caturday so i guess i’m a little early but anyway here’s my little dude

hoping that most of these purchases were people reading it to hate-review and not libraries wasting their money and that she ends up having to pay back like 95% of whatever her advance was lol

sometimes i get back from vacation and these stickers i forgot i bought for my cats’ carrying cases are waiting in the mailbox and it’s a nice little surprise :)

tapping the "please support billionaire free, worker run, reader supported news" holiday edition

they hate music, they hate art, they hate artists, they hate pop, they hate the video games they play, they hate the movies they watch, like, they're just all the worst fucking people you've ever met, none of them believe in anything

lotta folks out there who need to sit down and think hard about social norms in terms of (extremely ian malcolm voice) “your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they *could*, they didn't stop to think if they *should*”

i am Old and have Been Online A Long Time and the thing is that trying to explain this shit is like. *actually* so much more complicated than some guy in the late 80s trying to tell people about his radical early 70s underground mailbomb protest art collective or whatever

just spitballing here but if you want to talk about “sexism in cancellation” or whatever you should definitely, absolutely, 100% pick a different example

The Supreme Court paved the way for a felon to return to the presidency — where, behind the shield of office, that felon has ordered a string of murders.

This remains one of the most disturbing stories of the year. A 1st trimester fetus incubated in a dead woman's body against the will of her family until a very early term birth when the corpse could no longer sustain life. www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...

please study this man's brain in a lab

i named my fists bill and ted because they want you all to be excellent to each other

the kids may not be all right after all

This drunken ignorant oaf

the entire department of homeland security delenda est

yeah the too-bright car headlights really get me into get-off-my-lawn mode. no cars should have headlights brighter or whiter than whatever was available in like 1982.

oh my god you have to read this until the end www.telos.news/p/part-1-how...

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans: Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet. So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

The only thing that's interesting about Nuzzi is the story of how an amoral careerist with no interest in policy and abysmal ethics became an acclaimed national political reporter. But rather than tell that story, the entire media seems desperate to play a part in it.

Teen Vogue fired a bunch of their POC staff when they were doing actual journalism meanwhile Olivia Nuzzi is like "the brainworms whale carcass racist seduced me" and is heralded as some kind of hero

I listened to the Megyn Kelly clip and my takeaway is that she should change her name to Megyn R Kelly

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

my “i don’t pepper spray children” t-shirt, etc

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

thoroughly enjoying jco’s beating-elon’s-ass posting era lol

glad to see jones getting back in the ring

the only time the filibuster has ever been used to protect a particular interest of a set of states is to kill anti-lynching and civil rights legislation. that's it.
