There was a brand new allegation that the president raped a woman in the 1990s yesterday and it appears to not be on the NYT homepage at all right now

1. Not sure when a new, on-the-record rape allegation against a sitting president isn’t considered news — especially considering Trump was found liable by a jury in a similar case — but it was ignored by most mainstream media outlets

In yesterday’s deserved euphoria over Vucic’s defeat and Lula’s knife-edge re-election, no one noticed that Bulgaria held presidential elections. The pro-Russian incumbent underperformed and the pro-EU challenger beat the polls but turnout was a paltry 20%. Impossible to guess how the runoff will go

I’ve heard hosts gushing about this channel on the ATP podcast and decided yo check it out. My jaw is on the floor. Will be my first choice for all tech reviews going forward. Production values are unbelievable. And very informative. #Apple #iphoneduo youtu.be/8pCccpKjjos?...

quite fun tom play with. a great easter egg.

It's been a lot of fun trying the Duo out for a week, but it feels like I've gotten to use an extraordinarily polished prototype -- not a finished product that I'd want to buy and carry.

This is terrifying. A bird flu outbreak has been raging uncontrolled on a mink farm for months. Experts fear it could spark a devastating human pandemic. And officials are refusing to act. What a story from @natlash.bsky.social: www.propublica.org/article/bird...

if you ever write an article about a guy saying hes done with politics and then a month or so later hes making the largest political donation in history then you need to quit and find another line of work

The state of Illinois has $125M in contracts with Deloitte Consulting LLP. Deloitte is backing a candidate in Ohio who is siding with a pedophile and his defender, punishing a woman for speaking out about sexual abuse. In Illinois, we’re paying them $16M to advise DCFS. cc: @politico.com

Finally we're fighting back! This ad goes so fucking hard youtu.be/Gt_IZoM9KuQ?...

Get absolutely fucked separatists Glad we can put this in the trash finally

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Look he's a fucking idiot and everything. I know. But it'd be nice if the President didn't try to crush a democratic country engaged in a war of self-defense because he's flailing around trying to find someone to blame for energy prices caused by the blunder of an unrelated war he himself started.

Here is Aly Van Wyck-Smart being arrested today. 🎥 dani3lp3rry

There's something deeply resonate about how the AI companies are leveraged up to the gills both metaphorically and literally. Like the entire business model is predicated on an infinite payday that they promise is only a "someday" away, and they treat things like resources and politics the same way.

I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

Nearly 48 hours after Ukraine's Starshield terminals started mysteriously malfunctioning, nobody in Washington, nor at SpaceX, has taken responsibility for the apparent decision to hobble Ukrainian military communications.

FYI Southern Ontario friends: at least two of my local pharmacies in K-W have updated covid shots available NOW for all adults. (The "only high-risk groups" availability was slated to extend to later this month, but apparently they opened it up early.)

A reminder that Ukraine are the good guys defending themselves and trying to survive. Literally nothing in the current shitstorm is Ukraine or Zelensky’s fault. Anyone dissecting Zelensky’s words/strategy to find faults has either hopelessly lost the forest from the trees or is doing it in bad faith

unexpected Dungeon Crawler Carl reference

“GOP candidates compete to see who is the most like Trump, even before his Eye of Sauron alights on their race. When it does, he puts his thumb on the scale for whoever has demonstrated the most abject loyalty to him — whether that person will make a good general election candidate or not.” 🥹

this is beyond cringe worthy to watch. it not only shows for the umpteenth time that Trump is a complete moron (nothing new there) but also that the people eating it all up are complete morons. Nothing new there either but still.

must be a plot of the capitalists that every green party in every country is highly disappointing in its own unique way "the party would support providing military aid to Ukraine if it were backed by a United Nations Security Council resolution" is just embarrassing 🤡 💩

So in the past few days Trump has taken sanctions off Russia’s energy, asked to buy diesel from Russia, restricted SpaceX Starlink, stopped sharing intel on incoming missiles, & asked Europe to unfreeze Russian assets to give to Russia. Hope Americans aren’t confused on who he works for

This area in front of Gare du Nord in Paris used to be full of cars and totally chaotic, but they recently limited the street to pedestrians and cyclists and it has made a huge difference. This is what cities that care about people do.

Toronto bike lane removal. When your infrastructure project has huge police protection and the contractors hide the logos on their trucks and gear, you are in the wrong.

A win for a free press! ✊ A federal judge ruled last night that the Trump administration cannot shut CNN, Politico and MS NOW out of the White House while their lawsuit moves forward. The White House belongs to the American people. Reporters shouldn’t have to flatter Trump to get through the door.

Democrats should immediately label Musk a national security threat and declare their intention to nationalize SpaceX and Starlink if functionally is not immediately restored

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

I do not think an exec branch led by a man who thinks he is entitled to treat federal agents as an arm of his firm, refers to Somali Americans as “garbage” and has said racist things specifically about Omar is capable of neutrally applying the law to her, to put it mildly apnews.com/article/ilha...

I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.

#Ukraine is doing the whole world a huge favor with this. Russian bot traffic dropped to 0.4%(!) after they took out several Yandex data centers. Hope this continues. Expect and angry outburst from Trump too.

Political violence is a serious issue. But it’s not a “both sides” issue. The leaders of the Democratic Party do not call for violence, do not elevate violent supporters, do not pardon violent thugs who attack our seat of government and our elections. America is under threat from the right.

Trump saying Ukraine needs a new leader because Zelenskyy “cannot make a deal” is outrageous. Ukraine is sovereign, not Washington’s puppet. Ukrainians decide who leads their country. Russia started this war, and that fact does not change because Trump finds it inconvenient. Get lost. Idiot.

and declared that the actual award is an “indelible stain on Norway” that “will never be forgotten.” What a sick and pathetic individual. 2/2

Trump just had a massive meltdown over losing the Nobel Peace Prize to South African anti-apartheid jurist Navi Pillay. Trump attacked Pillay, admitted he knows nothing about her, claimed he deserves EIGHT Nobel Peace Prizes, took credit for preventing wars around the world,… 1/

The physicist and astronomer Karl Schwarzschild was born #OTD in 1873. In 1915, while serving in the German army on the Russian front, he found the first exact (non-trivial) solution of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Among other things, it describes a non-rotating black hole. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭

Listen to every word

Beyond matters of taste and decency and whether or not you even believe in the death penalty due to moral reasons, livestreaming the execution of Nidal Hasan is a dumb idea because you're giving him his moment of public martyrdom.
