I got yelled at like two days ago for saying "you aren't taking this seriously because you can't imagine your hometown on Bellingcat"

In Canada, call or email Evan Solomon and demand he do his job as “Minister of AI and Digital innovation” to stop the CSAM and non-consensual porn. X should be banned in this country. 📞 416-972-2030 📧 [email protected]

these assholes are so keen to see their secret police kill even more people

As I've said before, for a section of the American elite, everything to them is a form of Content and not the degradation of the democratic fabric

surrounding them after they just killed somebody and shouting “you can’t kill us all, nazis” is legitimate “ready to run through a wall” inspirational

I am deadass serious he should absolutely not come to the US

once again: there’s no group of people that the NYT scorns more than its own readers

me: “surely, after twenty years of reflection, the US MSM have drawn many important lessons from their coverage of the War in Iraq and GWT, right?” US MSM: “lol, lmao”

Broke: The founder of Christianity was Jesus Woke: The founder of Christianity was Paul Bespoke: The founder of Christianity was Constantine

how unbecoming of the inaugural recipient of the FIFA Peace Prize.

Every editor after decades of being sued by politicians: hm we can’t just accuse him of a crime in the banner headline. Let’s go with TRUMP CAPTURES MADURO IN UNORTHODOX MILITARY OPERATION, RAISING LEGAL CONCERNS Trump: no no I kidnapped him. it was a crime. I love crimes they’re my favorite

you know what’s the really _fun_ part of all this is? he’s a man whose doctors have been getting to take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (about which he’s also inexplicably boasted in responses with the media)

Whenever I see someone getting out over their skis on a foreign policy take I remember Caitlin Flanagan confusing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khomeini and then claiming she was actually expressing a profound truth.

“an operation” you say? now where have I heard that sort of language before?

man, Carney's statement is disappointing.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

This is what I meant by the logic behind Trump's lawlessness being sticky. This is obviously top-notch trolling by Gallego, but I'm also seeing people saying, "Yeah, we should do this!" But even for someone as awful as Bukele, it would still be illegal under international law.

> Maduro stands trial > Maduro gets sentenced > Maduro signs order to make TrumpCoin Venezuela's reserve currency > Trump pardons Maduro

he really just can’t help but say the quiet part out loud can he

putin is already pretty unconstrained in ukraine (the people saying "zelensky is next" seem unaware russia has tried to kill him many times). the bigger danger is it emboldens putin to step up sabotage and hybrid warfare in europe

Dugin is losing it on telegram just fyi

Meanwhile, as IR research since Iraq shows, regime change unleashes unpredictable forces with terrible consequences. What will this mean for the region, for migration, for Chinese interests in Latin America, and how mad is Xi? 5/ bsky.app/profile/did:...

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

*stares in Toronto*

Wilders, who has a political party where he is the only member, finally got some actual power in NL and was such an loathsome worm even his own right wingers hated working with him and he invented a reason to collapse the coalition because he discovered having power is harder than posting

leading to this uh, memorable FP cover

If only Americans had a recent way to know how crucial immigrants were for the success of the Manhattan Project. A big Hollywood movie where a lot of the nuclear scientist characters speak with accents and talk about fleeing Europe that makes tons of money and wins a bunch of Oscars, perhaps.

the boys are playing with their new pokemon cards (of course) and once again I am amused at the duality of pokemon “here is a giant spiky dragon with unstoppable powers” “here is a dachsund made out of pastries. its name is dachsbun”

“I think headlining your email with ‘Rebuilding Trust’ is rich coming from the person that broke it in the first place,” one CBS source says on Bari Weiss’s note to staff, sharing this meme:

I'm sure the investigative reporters at CBS really appreciate this message from someone who has never done a single investigative report in their life

She’s so condescending and yet vapid

I find the use of the word "hysteria" particularly bizarre coming from an ostensible journalist who literally wrote the phrase "since they are Canadians, I would not rule out treachery" without any elaboration or evidence

Consider supporting @liberalcurrents.com, we will not publish people like Sally Jenkins because we will call a spade a spade. For example: www.liberalcurrents.com/brains-poiso...

Dear @theatlantic.com, US censorship doesn't legally apply in Canada, so there was no obligation for Global TV to remove the clip. And I'm done with my Atlantic subscription, thanks.

bruh they really said “would not rule out treachery” when they clearly have little understanding of Canadian media, even Canada more generally

A woman who leads something called “The Free Press” and who got the made-up job title CBS “Editor-in-Chief” openly says journalism is when you only run stories if your subject responds to you:

chatterton doesn't really post here but i would love his thoughts on of his most famous episodes given today's events.

just checking in on this from two months ago

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

the White House doth protest too much, methinks

non-zero chance we see a Free Press hitpiece on Canada because Bari's mad that Canada's networks released the episode

New: Months before Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, her outlet The Free Press was joking about the megaprison Trump has lawlessly deported people to. "The hottest campaign spot…the new Jeffrey Epstein jet…the place to see and be seen." @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

No, and when she published an opinion piece posing as one at FP, her response to a thorough debunking calling out numerous plain factual errors was to insist on a podcast debate about it, not a correction or retraction.

At least we have the foreign press to tell us how it is
