The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

This is the glass cliff to end all glass cliffs. You're Marissa Mayer at Yahoo without the Googler street cred. You're Nancy Dubuc at Vice without the string of hit TV shows. You're Linda Yaccarino at Twitter without the advertiser relationships. You have been hired as a sop to a Trump administration that is actively hostile to the actual free press, and you will be made to oversee wave after wave of layoffs until you quit or get fired and the entire news division is shut down in a final spasm of cost-cutting after the next inescapable media merger.

β€œI had to flat out tell [the Microsoft sales team] VP we're not buying any fucking copilot - whereupon she revealed that the only thing she is being measured on for Q4 is sales of copilot, so if that's off the table the conversation is not interesting. LMAO”

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

There is widespread support in Russia for Vladimir Putin, even after he impoverished the country and fed Russian teens into a war woodchipper.

Why? Because he took over the media in Russia and uses it to deceive people. That’s what’s happening here too with Ellison and Bari Weiss.

was thinking last night about a certain Small Media Business whose tax return I prepared a few years ago. They're trust fund kids. The business did well, got outside investment, and is still going, likely profitable by now. Because trust fund kids.

FYI the reason they are still dead set on ACA repeal is that the ACA includes two small taxes on high earners: Additional Medicare Tax & Net Investment Income Tax. You don't see these, because they are only paid by the rich. They want to take our healthcare away to make their taxes go slightly down.

Massachusetts Health Connector?

That's what we call the Affordable Care Act.

MassHealth?

That's Medicaid and CHIP.

Trump and Republicans are attacking the millions of Massachusetts residents who rely on these programs to survive.

It's open enrollment time so here's a convenient peg to hang a little tutorial about how to choose your health insurance.

Most of the advice you get is bad. Most of your instincts are bad. I however used to work for a health insurance company and I do arithmetic for a living so I can help.

The Plymouth County Correctional Facility is the only ICE detention center in Massachusetts and the linchpin to ICE's infrastructure in New England. It seems like the easiest way to weaken this infrastructure is for the Mass. legislature to pass a law terminating any county-level contracts with ICE.

Digital illustration in ink and color style. A hippopotamus standing on a low hillock. He has the wings and engines of a biplane strapped to his flanks. The propellers are spinning and he's wearing goggles. Sitting on top of the upper wing in front of a control stick is a capybara wearing a white silk scarf that's flapping in th breeze, a leather old-timey aviator helmet and goggles. Just two aquatic mammals who are friends taking to the air. Arcing agains the blue sky and clouds of the background is lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.

After DOJ complains about "follow-the-law" provisions in the proposed TRO, plaintiffs' lawyer attempts to respond that the whole point is they're not following the law, at which point Ellis said she knows, and adds: "It's 5:30, and you don't have to pick up every bait that's dropped."

06.10.2025 22:38 β€” πŸ‘ 268    πŸ” 37    πŸ’¬ 8    πŸ“Œ 3

BREAKING: Judge Ellis says that "it appears that the plaintiffs have shown a likelihood of success" on their claim that DHS has violated plaintiffs' Fourth Amendment and First Amendment rights.

In addition to the standing ruling, this is the key aspect of deciding whether to enter a TRO here.

DOJ argues about ICE officers being doxxed.

Ellis responds at length, discussing doxxing and threats faced by judges and acknowledging how horrible it is, but says "that doesn't mean that you then get to do this job and be anonymous. ... Under the rule of law, it is important to be transparent."
