This is possibly the most fun the superbowl has ever sounded. Not the football part, obviously.

Meant to respond when I liked this: I'm really looking forward to reading it.

DNA Finally Tied a Man to Her Rape. It Didn’t Matter. Seventeen years after Louise was raped, Boston police told her they had a DNA match for her alleged rapist. But under Massachusetts state law, the case would be almost impossible to prosecute.

I suppose she's used to the piercings. I only know what clamps feel like.

There are few things I hate (as a disabled person) more than "well this is easy for me/I don't need this".

People, your personal experience is not the benchmark for what other people are experiencing.

(Of course, preaching to the choir here.)

Oooof. That sounds so uncomfortable.

Ah, makes sense. It looks incredibly uncomfortable to me.

Okay, makes sense. It would be fascinating to look at how that dress is structured (I'm fairly certain that dress is held up by more than her nipples, (pierced? nipple clamps? pasties?) As there was a very sheer crystal thing in her cleavage, & I am sure there are clever hidden ways to hide support.

She looks amazing. She also looks miserable or numb. Or both?

Someone writes to tell me I need "[more] attention headlines like BTC"

You can get 'BREAKING: Trump's SECRET Plan EXPOSED' from an endless sea of engagement farmers. I write for those who want accurate information and practical guidance, not emotional manipulation dressed up as analysis.

Not vaccinating children who are medically eligible for vaccine protection is child abuse. Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo is a eugenicist child abuser.

Promotional graphic for Patreon post titled "In 15 Years of Practice, I've Never Seen a Judge Do This" by Matthew Cortland, dated 01/27/2026. The right side shows a portion of a federal court order with Judge Fred Biery's signature above his title "United States District Judge." Below the signature is a photo of a young child wearing a blue knit hat with white ear covers and a black and white plaid jacket. Under the photo: "Credit: Bystander" and two biblical citations, Matthew 19:14 and John 11:35. Bottom banner reads "Shouldn't Need to Be a Lawyer" with Patreon logo and patreon.com/mattbc.

In 15 years of practicing law, I've never seen a federal judge do what Judge Fred Biery did today. Under his signature: a photo of the 5-year-old child ICE abducted. Then two Bible verses. The good faith is gone.

For the 40th anniversary, I interviewed six Black journalists who covered it in some capacity. BTW, the PPD dropped the bømb from a PA state helicopter.

hearing that the state and capital might be interlinked, has anyone looked into this before

I don't think there are good arguments against this position

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

And while we’re at it, ask yourself why your favorite liberal commentator or personality is condemning ICE but never venturing to criticize Democrats and leaders who aren’t using their power to stop them and ask yourself if there’s a financial reason for it.

It's a two man con. It took me too long to figure it out.

I Keep seeing MFs try to whitewash Biden and his administration

You look Ridiculous and very unsafe to be around

Yeah, lead would probably also do the trick. It was used in early forms of bronze, I think?

A good reminder!

Gonna repost this regularly ‘til 2/5. Thank you for contributing / sharing.

Of course he is. 🙃

This is the reality of means-testing and work requirements. Even those on the left can fall for this stuff and ignore the costs. To end this madness, we need to go universal. No more means-testing or conditions. Universal basic income, healthcare, and education. And tax the rich more than they get.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:

"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

Yeah. I have learned that there are three materials that last for thousands of years, it's rock, clay/pottery, and gold. (Though the gold absolutely has to be incredibly well hidden, pottery is prone to breaking, and rock is likely to be repurposed for construction.)

Heyo friends! My book of trans cyberpunk poetry, THE FAILURE EXPERIMENT, is available now! @kbwagers called it "a lyrical explosion"! And they know their sci-fi explosions! Buy it here: books2read.com/thefailureexperiment

quote from Haruki Murakami: “I keep to this routine every day without variation. The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism. I mesmerize myself to reach a deeper state of mind. “But to hold to such repetition for so long—six months to a year—requires a good amount of mental and physical strength. In that sense, writing a long novel is like survival training. Physical strength is as necessary as artistic sensitivity.”

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc

like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

Not surprised, still very frustrating.

I read stuff like this & I want to ask them if they’ve gathered up all of the pairs of eyeglasses the students in their class wear. Unless everyone has a pair, it’s not fair to the other students, right?
