Puck You: Women's Hockey Team Snubs Trump's Invitation After winning gold, the Women’s team didn’t feel the need to play along.

“By declining the State of the Union visit, the US Women’s Hockey Team’s polite 'no thanks' says more than any corporation, or tech billionaire, or media company is willing to say. Amid so much cowardice, it’s those who stood up who will be remembered…

Expect a 20% correction after midterms. Trump is hiding the real numbers (trade and employment) for a reason.

Trump, already found in court to be a sex predator, is violating the law by hiding files about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, who raped children.

The Justice Department has withheld several Epstein files related to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor. It also removed documents from the public database where accusations against Epstein also mention Trump.

Many files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release.

8 visits to Kremlin.
0 visits to Kyiv.

Fucking rabid dogs.

Frogs in a pot

I wonder how much James B. Comey knew about the Trumpstein files when he was broadcasting about Hillary's emails.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Thanks to the OBBB, Amazon’s tax bill for 2025 is $1.2 billion, down from $9 billion the year before despite a 45% jump in profits.

This one hits hard.

By the time he’s done, I’ll bet that at least a quarter of the national debt will just be money he stole.

Wexner tells Congress he was never contacted by FBI about Jeffrey Epstein ties Les Wexner testified he was never contacted by FBI about Jeffrey Epstein despite their close ties, as Congress investigates the sex offender's network.

Zelenskyy: 10,000 North Korean soldiers are now on the territory of Russia. It is extremely dangerous that they are gaining knowledge about modern hybrid warfare. They know how to defend against missiles, against different types of drones – including fiber-optic drones – from FPV to long-range drones. They are learning on the territory of Russia now, because we are responding to Russia’s attacks. So they have this opportunity. What will they do with this knowledge? At the very least, they will bring this knowledge and experience home to North Korea

A Texas investor with ties to the Trump family, Gentry Beach, signed a deal last fall with Russian energy giant Novatek to develop natural gas in Alaska — amid ongoing Ukraine war and sanctions.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access • Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Turns out there’s an economic cost to everyone hating us.

A man claims his grandmother in Colombia—a former housekeeper at Epstein’s Manhattan home—kept hidden memory cards, photos, and tapes when she was fired. He says it includes child abuse evidence, and both ABC and Fox refused to release it. If true, she may be holding what investigators searched for.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.
