Shameful.

Many of our boys at the freezing front, wake up to their birthdays daily.
This might be the best way.
Glory to the heroes!

In this Olympic photo of the day, four Olympic skiers fly through the air during a ski cross race:

Please stop telling me how these guys are geniuses when every interview with them sounds like a 12-year-old who was held back a grade.

This is fuckin’ a! Don’t know how I missed it, but always delighted to discover quality post punk/hardcore of which I was previously unaware.

What’s next? Repeal of the heliocentric model of the solar system?

Shame!

A tale of two fly rods: $100 NFC blanks vs. a $1,570 Asquith North Fork Composites' Gary Loomis announced this week he's rejected private equity advances, and launched $100 Golden Tickets good for North Fork blanks to help the company grow. The company he founded and sold, G.Loomis? It now charges over $1,500 for its Asquith rods.

I’m not Ukrainian. I have no family or personal link to Ukraine.

But I believe in the just and fair defence of a nation standing on the frontlines of a genocidal, unprovoked attack.

Let me explain why the bravery of Ukrainians changed me forever.

Long thread 🧵....

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Sadly, this actually sounds totally possible.

Please don't fall for this.

Why is this redacted? Who is the POS that sent this? Is it Trump? Elon? What sick SOB said this?

It was probably difficult to foresee that Trump would put the Kennedy Center out of business.

Wow, the White House is so shaken by the turn in the public mood that they thought Chuck Schumer might actually rise up and "seize this moment" to get meaningful concessions.

That's how panicked they are. They thought Chuck Schumer would do something.

A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:

“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

If Hollywood writers are really worried about AI they should probably try harder than rebooting the movie whose tagline is literally “There can be only one.”

Surprising lack of rhinestones in either case.

Because past predicts the future. The Shield was based on a real police corruption scandal.

The Situation: A View From Kyiv That ridiculous feeling of coming from a society that is endeavoring to destroy itself to visit a society that is working to preserve itself.

"One feels ridiculous, coming from a society that is busily, proudly endeavoring to destroy itself, spending time in a society that is working under the toughest of circumstances to preserve itself."

@benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org reflects on the Situation from Kyiv.

Media is doing the credulous "new tone" thing again—as with Trump on Russia-Ukraine—presenting BS about MN/Good/Pretti/ICE as sincere.

But as @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, govt actions matter more, and Trump's rhetorical shift is an effort to maintain the brutal ICE/BP campaign, not curb it.

Talk loudly carry a small stick. That’s Hakeem Jeffries.
