DHS has suspended Greg Bovino’s access to his social media accounts. Now, if he wishes to tell lies with impunity or denigrate Americans based on ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation without significant contradiction, he will be limited to American mainstream media.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

How many journalists did Jeff Bezos fire while paying $40 million for an authorized Melania documentary

Five of the same answer to the question “Is it ever possible to have enough money”

Something jarring about seeing peanut butter and chocolate in the same candy bar.

I'm not sure why election rigging would need to be complex and sophisticated... The administration just needs to have enough thugs and loyalists doing their bidding in swing vote areas

American law enforcement was based on 19th century slave patrols

After Dick Cheney died (and I'm praying that he's still dead), I appreciated all the posts pointing out how he laid the path for DJT to assert unlimited executive power.

Fuck the Cheneys, fuck Bill Kristol. Fuck Tom Friedman and the Clintons. Fuck everybody who endorsed the war in Iraq.

Leni Riefenstahl is dead, so they had to settle on Brett Rattner as the director of this very important documentary

OK it is kinda funny that Bill Kristol, as responsible as any media figure is for the excesses of the 9/11 State, is now saying that ICE/CBP need to be utterly uprooted

Maybe Carol will drop the bomb on her eggs #PluribusSeason2

Every accusation is a tactical-gear dork looking in a funhouse mirror

The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun (who might actually be a good guy) is to let a bunch of IDF-trained masked guys with guns make steroid-addled decisions about what type of guys or gals they're dealing with. That's the only way.

I can't wrap my mind around this contradiction: If she can make the collective give her an atom bomb, she could easily make the collective destroy her eggs ... or forbid them from doing any kind of stem cell collection #Pluribus

DHS this is your communications director speaking. I am advising you today to please keep posting about how everyone hates you.

The government tried to kill Bugs Bunny with these. But as always, Bugs was too crafty

here's a homing carrot

There's nothing in the rule book that says a Marijuana-addicted can't dunk, or consume a dozen Dunkin Donuts. I've consulted the rule books and none of these things have been specified

Supreme Court road trip comedy where each of the nine justices take turns driving a minivan into a ditch. Also, they insist on wearing robes while driving. Also, one of the justices is already dead, like "Weekend at Bernie's"

1st semester of law school, I got multiple profs and practitioners lovingly referencing this picture of Scalia and RBG, calling it the ideal of SCOTUS relationships. Then, I got to hear Justice Sotomayor bring it up approvingly in a public event at the school. A real “jig is up, huh” moment for me.

Most likely this is an unfair characterization. And also, I'm enjoying the tunes he's playing. Does bluesky have a location function? If it does, I need to make sure to disable that when I'm at a bar.

The bartender at this place is playing lots of pop-punk and he's got one of those SoCal surfer guy accents, I'm not sure whether to call it an accent or an affectation. That kind of slow drawl that connotes chillness, but seems like that chill could disappear instantly if something sets him off.

Tim's wrong, the song is good

Randy Newman took these before writing that song

It's embarrassing how often I have to tell my fellow Gen-Xers that they've fallen for AI slop. It's embarrassing how often I myself have fallen for AI slop. The enshittification gets exponentially boosted every day.

I can't believe this Greenland bullshit it being treated with any degree of seriousness by anyone.

19 Tweets From The Audubon Society/Barack Obama Twitter Feud

Completely fucking absurd. Also reminiscent of that old Onion article where Obama and the Sierra Club were throwing insulting tweets at each other www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u...

fly retiree matchy matchy powder blue fit clean as hell complete with hat

placard saying Original Costume worn by FRED MELAMED as Sy Ableman in A Serious Man, costume design by Mary Zophres, a genius

holy shit you guys. i am already plotting a National Treasure and/or Ocean’s Eleven scheme to steal this

This is hilarious and I applaud the hilarity. Let’s be honest. Probably best just close CBS News down now before it gets more embarrassing.
