This is joy. This is fuel to keep on. Let it cycle for three or four minutes and then go make the world a little better.

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Oh fuck. Tom Skerritt. Had a nice, quiet coffee with Skerritt once on Lopez Island in Puget Sound. It was the community's only coffee shop and he was just... a guy, you know, beloved for his decency and humility. He made everything better.

Once we get through the election, I'd be interested in helping distribute this movie to all Indivisible groups. @alexgibneyfilm.bsky.social let's talk.

Bleecker Street, the film distributor overseeing the theatrical release of Alex Gibney's documentary Musk, was informed on Friday that the film's TikTok account was subject to "permanent suspension." tinyurl.com/4yd9997x

The language was tuned to maximum inbound “signal.” That’s what they do. It comes from the top. They’re a data harvester. A 21st century data broker. Their revisions and press statement close to midnight last night don’t resolve things.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

🟡 LIKELY: Russia is the leading suspect in the Black Sea ship strikes, but no government has shown evidence. Three ships sunk off Bulgaria and Romania since Oct. 5; overnight, two tankers caught fire near Sulina. 7 sailors missing. Bookmark our tracker: blacksea.america2.news?r=r2-22b3ee

The administration keeps telling us that ICE is in our cities to make us all feel safe, but if they're goons in plainclothes bum rushing vehicles with guns and pounding on the windows, how exactly does that make anyone feel safe?

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

The NYPD just released surveillance video of the ICE shooting (which occurred off camera). Two men in civilian clothes run up to a car with guns drawn. One second later, one man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window. The driver appears to panic and hit the gas.

Do not become numb to how disgusting it is to hear an American president encouraging an enemy to “take out” two major American cities.

Replying to @volts.wtf

Everybody's loving this clip, for good reason, but it should remind everyone that cities therefore have an obligation to build enough housing that all these marginalized and outcast people can come and afford to live in them on minimum wage *without* becoming homeless. YIMBY!

Regarding the AI skin people are calling an “actress” Studio types would LOVE this to succeed, so the skin is being featured and anthropomorphized in the mainstream press. Remember, movie producers left money on the table pre-1910 and refused to credit movie actors

Status Coup News@statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Multiple ICE agents aggressively tackled a man to the ground Wednesday night in Naples, Florida, in an arrest that quickly spiraled out of control. During the struggle, they broke his ribs then pointed a weapon at onlookers. Status Coup's Phillip Hawkins breaks it all down.

Once again, the Supreme Court prioritizes imaginary harms done to Trump by not allowing him to indulge in his conspiracy theories, as opposed to the very real harm done to citizens who may lose the ability to vote in this case.

Seth Abramson@sethabramson.bsky.social

I was trying to figure out why Trump banned Politico from the White House along with CNN and MSNOW. Now I get it. This fascist regime can't have media outlets in the building that reveal to voters how Trump and Hegseth gifted our military technology to the Chinese.

Remember: Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself. But the public will not be gaslit. We will continue to spread the truth to our communities. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny.

New, at @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I discuss the problems with Dario Amodei's "We Must Pace the Frontier" proposal. (TL;DR version: The better angels of the AI industry's nature are never going to prevent the AI industry's worst potential harms.) www.techpolicy.press/who-should-p...

FOLKS! InfoWars' HogWater is now REAL. It was created by the master swine sommeliers at Marz Brewing Company in Chicago. It makes your bones feel big and hot! Also, if you sign up for a membership at Riotfest this weekend (or are already a member), you get HogWater for free at The Onion tent!

This is super cool. @zacheverson.com is a journalist following Trump’s crypto corruption. For people who are having trouble understanding how it works, Zach made a game. I love this kind of innovation for helping us understand stuff….

Zach Everson@zacheverson.com

New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it. Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater. I made an 8-bit game out of it— 📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money. 📉 Play as an investor: you cannot win.

BREAKING Judge Cooper ORDERS the Trump-installed Kennedy Center Board to provide 30 days notice before "any changes," including the main building's "demolition." He declines to call an emergency hearing, but demands a sworn declaration from a Board rep.. Full order embedded here.
