Kash Patel Faces Backlash After Partying With Nancy Guthrie’s Captors WASHINGTON—As shocking footage surfaced of his participation in the rowdy celebration, FBI director Kash Patel faced backlash Thursday after he was seen partying with the captors of Nancy Guthrie. “I ...

“I was honored to have been invited to the isolated cabin where Savannah Guthrie’s mother has been strapped to a cot for almost a month,” said FBI director Kash Patel

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

Twitter is owned by a fascist who deliberately manipulates the algorithms to promote far right messages. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

One of the main things that drives this philosophy is me cringing at lines that are written into (usually) films and TV that have me shouting: "People don't fucking talk like that!"

He was extraordinarily descriptive at times. You could tell what topics he really enjoyed.

If you turned on the Forest-Liverpool match, the switch would've been something like a car crash.

We're so slow on reacting to the ball when it a) comes under pressure or b) comes down out the air. And the latter isn't even when there's someone contesting it. It's like we're thinking too much about what's going to happen instead of relying on instinct. Overcoaching?

That's the opening of Goldfinger. For some reason, I re-read that one a couple times whereas most of the rest I only read once. Don't know why. (Maybe it *was* the bourbon...)

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.

And this is what they called it.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court.

Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business.

As well as everyone else who stepped up.

Fair comparison.

Andrew is eighth in line to the throne, but that’s prison toilets for you!

Right on. I've found myself less cognizant of jokes delivered via Bluesky in recent times. Probably me just getting old. To some mild relief, I've seen no attempted defenses of him. Given his earlier behavior, you'd people have finally realized "they always tell you who they are."

I agree but, as you say ("important thread"), I think it's worthwhile for him to have written it because even apart from Dancey's attempt to dissuade us from believing exactly what he said, it's important to recognize how many people are poorly engaging with it.

Prince Andrew to seek asylum in the United States and join Donald Trump’s cabinet to avoid further persecution.

How a Trump Tax Break Rescued Horse Racing Owners spent nearly $1.5 billion last year on racehorses, a big increase over 2024. A new tax provision allows them to immediately deduct the full cost of the purchase.

I'm so glad millionaires can more easily buy racehorses. It was really worth cutting education, clean energy, and healthcare to make that happen.

Thanks, President Trump 🙏

It’s so hard to have a reasonable conversation about AI, because people refuse to see the massive upsides of job elimination, higher electrical bills, hard drive shortages, poisoning black people in Memphis, and an economy where a handful of pedos with bad hair control your life

Yeah, boiiiiii!

Robert Duvall in A Civil Action, having his lunch interrupted.

RIP Robert Duvall. Will never forget the level of acting that could be achieved with a single annoyed glance at having one's lunch interrupted.

Makes me question the PR person. I mean, if you want something innocuous like a fruit basket for color, why just one fruit? And why not something bland and, again, innocuous like red apples? Or is it just that Tudor really likes Granny Smith apples and prefers to travel with them?

Seriously. Not just a foul call for Mo (checking for the blue moon) but in the box-!

Was a great pass by Cody to Mo, too.

Was just saying that exact thing. Although he does tend to resemble a guy who's played about an hour's worth of competitive football in the past three months.

Here I was thinking you were going to talk about how he lies awake at night thinking about all of the times that Cody won't pass to him as happened again 5 minutes ago when he went past looking for a very simple dumpoff... But, yeah, I'd be all about the Twerkez.

Giorgi was the one player I thought was guaranteed. Not surprised by the rest of it, since Arne has to show progress somewhere, even if it's another domestic cup that most don't care about.

Heavy is the (tin?) crown, part II What do the results actually tell us?

Finally, part II on "the coaching question."

You see this in all kinds of mass media. Turn on a radio and you'll hear simpler melodies and more familiar keys. It's not so different from making a show or movie that is designed to make sense even if the viewer is also on their phone. Its a rush to the bottom of what these mediums can do.
