I have noticed a disturbing number of calls for violence against ICE agents. One word: DON'T! Around the world, dictators WANT violence because it provides cover for them to launch massive militarized retaliation. Dictators even stage false-flag operations to provide themselves with an excuse.

Not even pretending anymore.

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... We continue to live in the absolute dumbest timeline.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Call me a bleeding heart, but impeding or obstructing law enforcement does not, ever, justify point-blank execution.

I think we’ve found the worst possible framing of this situation.

There’s a Simpsons episode where Homer realises he’s stuck in quicksand. He decides he’ll reach down with his arms to pull his legs out. Then, realising his arms are now stuck, he decides to pull his arms out with his face. It is a distraction. But also a new catastrophe which requires attention.

Amazing innings by Smith. #Ashes

Don’t want to jinx it, but we may just have it from here. #ashes

As a member of the privileged elite, it may make me a class traitor, but I have to say - I don’t much care for Chardonnay (or lattes, soy or otherwise).

This has been misheard. It’s a speech on the “Wario Ethos”, which Hegseth came up with after a drunken Super Mario session.

oh my god lol -- Trump calls for UN workers to be arrested because his escalator didn't work yesterday

Tick, tock. Lindsey Halligan, the newly-installed prosecutor in EDVA, has less than a week to secure an indictment against James Comey before a key statute of limitations runs out. Ben Wittes and I examine her charging options. Spoiler alert: they all suck. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Utter nonsense.

I think at this point, it’s officially a spree. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

If ever you’ve gone in to work knowing you’re going to have a bad day, remember Kash Patel is appearing before the Senate today.

So @gtconway.bsky.social can you please remind me: did Todd Blanch ask Ghislane Maxwell if she forged Trump’s signature? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

#AUSVBIL Itoje is a grub, and the Lions should be embarrassed to celebrate winning like that.

Itoje trying to prevent Wilson from speaking with the ref is grubby. #lionsvwallabies

A friend of mine joked that an effective counterprotest might be to dress up as Keystone Cops or Monty-Python-style knights and walk along with them, harrumphing and making over-the-top displays of law enforcement.

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social Loved the new episode, but you really missed an opportunity. In light of the three DIGs this term, SCOTUS needs to be re-branded “The Gang That Couldn’t Cert Straight”.

@strictscrutiny.bsky.social In light of the upcoming decision on nationwide injunctions, can you please explain to non-Americans why KBJ’s questions in oral argument isn’t infallible? Why wouldn’t an injunction against the govt in any district restrain them from engaging in that conduct altogether?

Caine said that Hegseth was deeply concerned about operational security. Jeff Goldberg would like a word.

How drunk is Hegseth right now?

Every concept in this headline is awful. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

A man impersonating a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said on Saturday, and killed the lawmaker’s husband. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said. nyti.ms/4jRTrvw

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social They have once again defied parody.

This is exactly the point.

“She means ‘fewer.’” - a Harvard graduate

This is brilliant.

What’s wrong with Howard Lutnick’s suits? Surely he can afford better suits, and someone to tell him how to wear them better?

Looking forward to Skadden representing Jack Smith pro bono, as it would seem to fall within the scope of this order.

This seems bad. SCOTUS says these challenges have to be brought as habeas petitions, so Santa Monica Goebbels starts looking at how to foreclose habeas.

Welcome to the next episode of America’s ongoing dystopian nightmare.

The Washington Post has called it, but James McGrath would still like to wait for the pre-polls. 🤣 #auspol

Antony Green on ABC has called Dutton as losing his seat to Ali France. It’s huge news. Notwithstanding, I will never not think of the Hong Kong bakery chain DeliFrance, when I hear her name. #auspol

How about they lack integrity and aren’t reliable? The risk of catastrophic error and humiliation that LLMs expose you to, as well as the ethical problems with their creation and maintenance, outweighs any transient utility you might derive from them? Does that hold water or nah?

Possibly the most important issue of our time. Because that’s really super weird.

Maybe Don’t ‘Both Sides’ Disappearing People To Foreign Gulags, OK? https://abovethelaw.com/2025/04/both-sides-trump-disappearing-people-to-foreign-gulags-due-process/

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social I will never now not think of him as President Bukkake. So … thanks for that. (On the upside, every time I hear talk of the game of Chicken with China, I also hear the Bare Naked Ladies, so that’s something.)

It would almost be better if the Trump administration did overtly defy the court’s orders. The winking reliance on diplomacy and respecting El Salvador’s sovereignty while also pressuring Denmark to give the US Greenland, Canada to become a state, and supporting Russia over Ukraine is just too much.

The absolute chutzpah in the govt demanding a right to be heard in a case about the govt accidentally sending the wrong person to a gulag is breathtaking.

With seamstresses and make-up artists, it seems like gangs are way more into theatre than popular culture would have suggested (except maybe Westside Story).
