Gosh. What a surprise that Brendan Carr is a fucking coward. Comedians making jokes on late night TV requires an investigation into the "public interest" standard, but a literal execution is "not my job, go talk to Hegseth who is doing a great job."

All these guys spent all this effort to get "fuck you" money and can't even bring themselves, even once, to use it to say "fuck you" to Trump. Pathetic.

BAIER: The president says 'SI.' Are you into SI or AI? BEZOS: I do like SI, because 'artificial' is not a very flattering thing. Like, nobody wants an artificial sweetener, artificial flavoring.

Here's what I actually think these incidents reveal (instead of a rogue AI terminator situation): Much of the infra we expect to be hardened is actually being held together by glue and popsicle sticks.

Fresh off their failure to turn Nolan’s Odyssey into a massive flop, the right-wing grievance machine is again looking to manufacture outrage over a highly anticipated blockbuster release, spinning desperate narratives about how Grand Theft Auto VI will advance the “woke” agenda:

wired.comThe Anti-Woke Right Can’t Figure Out How to Stop ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’A subset of male gamers have spent years warning that the transgressive series has been neutered by progressive developers, but the backlash isn’t taking hold.

Pierre Damas Bel was a physiology and neuroscience student at Wright State who had dreams of going to medical school. He was a bright student and cherished community member. ICE’s cruelty is killing people.

1) DHS asks a federal judge for a warrant to hoover up private data from journalists, activists, and trade unions. 2) Judge denies because it is an obvious violation of the 1st and 4th Amendments with no justification. 3) DHS issues its own "Administrative Warrant" and sucks up the data anyway.

BREAKING: Liam Tadeo was just deported by ICE.

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

A 5-year-old Texan just spent the first day of school in an ICE detention center. ICE kidnapped Liam Tadeo on his way to a soccer game with his dad. Liam should be in kindergarten. Instead, our government has thrown him in a prison camp hundreds of miles from home.

“They didn’t want them notifying loved ones," said a detainee's wife. Detainees at an ICE facility in Mississippi reportedly got “sick from a gas leak, complaining of headaches and other medical symptoms.” At the same time, a power outage left them without A/C for two days in 100-degree heat.

Donald Trump is a very stupid fucking person who genuinely has no idea how anything works and the U.S. press should never be allowed to live down their failure in communicating this mercilessly and clearly to the U.S. public

Talarico: Ken Paxton was born in North Dakota, raised in California, and has a place in Hawaii. What makes a Texan is not in the boots or in the truck, it's deep in the heart. These billionaires and their puppets have the wrong state of mind. Their hearts and their dreams are just not big enough.

Listen as a New Jersey judge orders a newspaper (New Brunswick Today) to delete a security video the school district wanted deleted from the internet -- and orders the newspaper not to write about it *at all.* This is a prior restraint in violation of the First Amendment.
