My question is: Who else are they spying on and to what end? How pervasive is their surveillance operation?

Nice piece. Yes, this twerp personifies Dunning-Kruger. Jivani, Smith and Poilievre score high on this metric.

Your Dad has excellent taste in music. Also normal for his vintage. (I am 72.) Also, Richie Valens’ big hit was La Bamba, which he cut in 1957 and which he sang in Spanish.

In new documentary, former Ohio State wrestlers say U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan knew about Strauss abuse • Ohio Capital Journal Survivors of Dr. Richard Strauss say Ohio Republican U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan known about the sexual abuse the student-athletes experienced, according to HBO’s new documentary Surviving Ohio State.

That the Bondi hearing is being chaired by Jim I-Let-A-Doctor-Rape-College-Wrestlers-When-I-Was-Their-Assistant-Coach Jordan is... really fucking painful.

"'To say that (Jordan) knew nothing, that nothing ever happened, it’s a flat out lie',” former Ohio State Wrestler Dan Ritchie said."

Damn right. She went to a congressional oversight hearing and tried to turn it into a pep rally for Trump. Predictable but execrable from start to finish.

Volleyball.

Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

Cool. Was built as a Christian Scientist church, apparently. Buffalo is lousy with noteworthy architecture. And some lovely parks, etc.

Nicely done, Pete Buttigieg!

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

If Ex-NFL rush end Jared Allen can pick it up so can you.

I got it. This clown is channeling an age-old racist trope: Unilingual racist can’t understand another language, so he jumps to idiotic conclusion bad words, insults or some sort of treachery is afoot. Smear from a place of toxic ignorance.

Fantasyland.

Your social media work is essential reading, including these daily outlooks. So, I thank you even as I face the painful reality of those early wake-ups. Play on.

The IOC has barred Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych from wearing a helmet featuring portraits of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia at the 2026 Games.

He plans to formally appeal the decision.

Layers of insanity in this nonsense, as usual. But the hockey. . . Wow. The last Canadian-based team to win the Stanley Cup was Montreal in 1993. Since then, it has been the property of U.S. cities, including Detroit, four (4) times, and Florida-based teams, also four (4) times. China? WTF?

New statement from Lindsey Vonn:

Jarring headline to your piece. I realize your focus is the men, but Canada’s hockey delegation has Marie-Philip Poulin right there with Crosby, MacKinnon et al in my book. Not to mention Ann-Marie Desbiens, Gina Kingsbury (GM), and Caroline Ouellette (asst. coach).

In case you missed the moment.

Art is powerful

Bad Bunny showing us resistance can be joyful. Such a beautiful and inclusive performance in these dark times. Thanks for giving Canada a shoutout as well. 🔥

Nicely done.

Whaddya say we give him a tail?

Love this Olympian. Curling, baby. Where average is elite.

US figure skater Amber Glenn says she's using her platform to support the LGBTQ+ community in response to aggression from the Trump admin

Just terrible.

Thomas Crown was cool.

If you were curious, I would say I've seen about 500 Seahawks fans, 300 Patriots fans, and 16.3 million Bad Bunny fans. They're everywhere and it's awesome.

Washington Post C.E.O. Will Lewis Steps Down After Stormy Tenure

SEE YA. A truly disastrous, callous, counterproductive tenure at the head of this once-great institution www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/t...

“This is a distraction, but it needs to be addressed...because it sends a signal...that this is acceptable and okay.” @symonedsanders.bsky.social weighs in on the racist video posted on President Trump's social media account that features the Obamas, and his refusal to apologize for it.

Sleaziest network of quid pro quo pros ever assembled. Concise assessment of this swamp by Molly Jong-Fast.
