That was such a weird few weeks when people pretended to care about Charlie Kirk.

British politicians work harder for fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv than UK football fans

When you 'telling the truth' is such a novel concept you feel you have to announce it in advance

Stunning photos from Minneapolis, including this one by John Locher for the Associated Press. www.theatlantic.com/photography/...

If you see federal agents pulling into your driveway, reporters, power down your electronic devices ASAP. That's the advice from @runasand.bsky.social, via @columjournreview.bsky.social www.cjr.org/news/hannah-...

This isn't satire. This is a real headline published in the UK.

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

Leonardo DiCaprio has stopped using Wikipedia.

One positive thing is not having to hear Charlie Kirk's opinion on any of this

papers please

ICE got run off and dropped loot like Diablo

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

ICE seemingy have access to a "dna" database??

@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

a diabolical 3 points

seems like O'Neill has given theman earful at HT, much better at breaking up play in the middle

Charlie Mulgrew saying Maeda needs to take a pass and hold it up further up the field. Main issue with that is he has a first touch like a elephant.

undeserved opener but they all count

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources. Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Decent video on the positional rotation approach that Spalletti is implementing at Juve

fuck me

How can any tech writer claim any credibility when they argue that staying on Twitter allows them to somehow steer the narrative? No one is seeing their "righteous stand" on that hell site. As @newschambers.bsky.social and others have pointed out, even massive brands get zero interaction on there

Creators would benefit much more by doing these things on literally any other platform considering Twitter’s throttling of posts and boosting of only the most inflammatory (often dishonest, often right-wing) takes.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it. (also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary) youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ

The Atlanta subreddit has been liberated reddit.com/r/Atlanta/co...

“Deepfake child pornography is fine as long as only adults get to see it” is a curious place for the modern Conservative Party to find itself, but here we are

The Centrist’s Arc of Denial 1) Govt isn’t doing anything! 2) Why aren’t we all doing something! 3) I personally will not be doing anything.

"The enemy of the state is wine moms" is not uh.. well it's not tactically brilliant

very very big fan of the american people turning against the ICE gimps

Ice commits an act of domestic terrorism against ICE. It's funny 🤣

ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

Note that the sudden rise in "nudification" is not an advance in the tech itself, it's a design choice by Musk / xAI. LMMs trained with nude images have been able to do this for years; Grok is the first time a major company has chosen to enhance this functionality for users rather than restrict it.

Report in French press saying we are trying to loan Mo Bamba

a belter by Villa, that

Despite the Trump (a pervert) effort to claim otherwise this is, and will remain, the crux of it: With no readily available neodymium supply manufacturing is more complicated and/or impossible. Motors for vehicles is the bulk of use cases but for niche machinery it is an even bigger factor.

I mean it’s gonna be really hard to top this one

Wilhelm screaming as I find out that actual journalists reporting on Grok quote Grok as a primary source as if it is a sentient person

Been working on this one for a while — it's a little bit of history of a key foundation of internet technology, and a little bit of an explainer about how people _actually_ invent things. This is the amazing (true!) story of how Markdown took over the world. www.anildash.com/2026/01/09/h...

will be posting a lot about the outcomes of this as they emerge

It's five years today since Trump incited a mob of his supporters to attack the US Capitol in an attempt to overturn an election that he lost Yet the media in Britain is completely silent That is the direct result of his threat to sue the BBC The UK media is being silenced by a foreign government

I'm going on a BOOK TOUR next month with Super Nintendo! I'm launching it in Glasgow on Feb 12, then London, Brighton Edinburgh, St Andrews and Manchester. Tickets for everywhere are through this link: linktr.ee/super_nintendo

Art doesn’t get censored because it might make people immoral or violent. It gets censored because it might make them realize that there are different ways to live than the prescribed hegemony crammed down our throats

Surely CEO Michael Nicholson needs to go? He authorised the deal and spoke at length about his belief that it was the right thing to do.

MON immeadiately talking about what the club means to us. Will genuinely sleep better knowing the rest of this season will not be another ludicrous experiement.
