Anyway I’m sure the terrifying situation involving some of the dumbest, bloodthirstiest people on the planet will resolve in non-horrifying fashion

A functional country would yeet polymarket and kalshi into the sun

It is, in fact, in the special.

Bari like "we need to restore trust in news" and then 20 minutes later like "hell yeah murdergovs let's DO this"

People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?

The least human thing you can do I read a story just now about a man in Chicago who saved a baby after its carriage had been blown into the harbor by heavy gusts of wind. Lio Cundiff – who is a trans man not that it should matter her...

Expecting us – with good reason based on history – to all thank them for their service. Fuck your service and fuck you.

Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.

You know what's weird? The DOJ's Epstein files search function is pretty good?

Is that a sock she brought outside to show us? Who can say.

Tesco the golden retriever standing out on the porch in the sun, smiling real big at the camera like a very good girl

Things bad, dogs good

Been reading some 70s era spy novels and the part that seems most absurd is when the big thing or whatever gets exposed and Congress, uh, acts

Iran's Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, senior Israeli official tells Reuters.

Starting wars must be so easy when you lack object permanence

It's just too bad Congress isn't around to see this

The smallest of points but he absolutely is intentional in timing these things like a thief in the night

Flight tracking map showing the Middle East, where there is a broad blank space over Iran, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, Jordan, part of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE, with hundreds of little yellow planes surrounding that area

Dubai/Abu Dhabi/Doha usually among the world's busiest airports

I miss when “Friday news dump” meant like a fast food chain quietly settled the tacos-made-a-bunch-of-people-poop-their-pants lawsuit or whatever and not the president launching an illegal war of regime change at 3 in the morning for literally no reason.

Ok Chocolate Thunder and Clyde the Glide are in the, uh, top 11

Pistol Pete can be 10th but the Admiral… meh

Dr J and Magic somehow exist outside of this category. They are not nicknames, just names.

Yes okay this should have been… let’s say 4 on the list

It’s weird but I just think that’s his name rather than a nickname

A podcast was talking about NBA nicknames so here is a personal ranking, with the caveat that I did this off the top of my head and certainly forgot some:

1 The Answer
2 Boogie Cousins
3 The Truth
4 White Chocolate
5 The Iceman
6 The Matrix
7 AK-47
8 Birdman
9 The Glove

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission.

Full statement from the band:

It's fine the pentagon AND an AI company can both be bad

I don't think the actual bosses care at all that CBS News just had its lowest rated month of this century but I bet Bari really does think she has good ideas and is qualified to do her job and she wasn't just hired to do a barrel roll to the right and tank the brand.

A very well made snow llama, or possibly alpaca, with its tongue sticking out the side of its mouth, along a snowy and wet street

16 years ago today I met this snow llama/alpaca somewhere in Brooklyn
