do you all have a moment to discuss the Good News of seitan

And today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest. To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.

it's really good.

this admin negatively polarizing themselves against gun ownership to own the libs has to be one of the dumber political things they’ve done yet

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

the affected hospitals have spent more than ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS on “short-term staffing” aka scab travel nurses. Yes Kathy is doing this in an election year and she has a primary challenger, @delgadoforny.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/n...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

So many productions use this fucking software. You've got a month now to recreate your entire fucking pipeline in another program, and all your previous work is useless, bye Fucking insane. To do this so fast with no warning has to be criminal

This asshole is literally this comic

If true, this could explain a lot: Epstein’s mysterious money; the wire transactions to former Soviet states; Trump’s submissiveness around Putin.

I regret to inform you I’m back on my bullshit. Stay tuned tomorrow

The most well known gop donor owns a kiddie porn machine and he did it on purpose

I was a White House ethics lawyer. I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules. I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Ansel Adams took one of his most famous nature photos while documenting the American citizens of Japanese ancestry who were imprisoned at Manzanar during World War II. Our country is both the darkness and the light. We are called to bear witness, and to respond.

And it gets worse. As this excellent thread and reporting by @danneidle.bsky.social shows, Mandelson actually suggested to Epstein that yet another plutocrat should "mildly threaten" *his own government*, so that the filthy rich could avoid paying their taxes: bsky.app/profile/dann...

I don’t think that’s quite what Trevor Noah said:

Even if OpenAI doesn’t die, it needs to be able to pay Oracle an astonishing amount - the contract is $300 billion over 5 years. AWS’ entire revenue is around $110bn a year. The OpenAI deal starts in 2027, and will likely be tens of billions at the least. Oracle needs the money to pay the loans.

Olivia Dean: "I guess I want to say I'm up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant, I wouldn't be here... I'm a product of bravery and I think those people deserve to be celebrated"

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out. We're not savages, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.

“.. [it’s] the first time a tech giant has been forced to raise equity since the AI boom kicked off .. it could mean a slightly slower pace of aggregate spending .. “.. It’s notable that Oracle couldn’t find any strategic partners to participate in this capital raise ..” - Vital Knowledge #$ORCL

I love that Prince Andrew had a codename email address to avoid suspicion and all the emails are like 'Had to spend the weekend at Balmoral, Mother wants me to look after the corgis, my brother's here too - not Edward, but Charles, you know the heir apparent.'

a lot of americans are convinced we need to re-invent the entire financial wheel just because they're still paying for things with cheques. This is a you problem/skill issue, guys

can’t sleep because i’ve had a harrowing vision of a WW2 Muppet Movie where Kermit gets captured

I'm not being facetious. Epstein was apparently giving talking points to the people pushing anti trans rhetoric in the UK.

A couple of Latino Americans killing a couple of white Americans is not the race war that Trump has been promising the MAGA faithful

He’s been through so much. They shouldn’t have made him fly the plane too.

In any serious journalistic project, the decision what stories to pursue requires colleagues to confer and debate and advocate for a particular piece, in order to reach informed consensus

This is the U Penn donor who helped push the President out, pushed to eliminate arts & science offerings, and drafted Trumps "compact" with universities. People like Rowan repeatedly claimed the moral high ground to impose their agenda on students and faculty.
