Figuring out how to disable that stupid "rude" warning made this site infinitely better.

Elon Musk last year: "Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED"

Musk to Epstein emails:
• “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”
• "I really want to hit the party scene"
• "Is there a good time to visit?

“We’re identifying what the problems are, we’re gonna fix them, and we’re going to have the best chatbot system on the globe,” Adams said at a press conference. “People are going to come and watch what we’re doing in New York City.”

This sounds exactly like something Trump would say.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Blaming millions of people instead of the one who had the power to actually affect the election is pointless and stupid. It's like blaming the judges at a figure skating contest when the contestant keeps falling on her ass.

Harris is the one who went to the right of her base on a whole host of issues and lost millions of voters. Nobody forced her to do that.

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

One Oakland police officer made $490,000 in overtime. The city can’t find records detailing much of what he did One OPD officer logged 5,242 total working hours, racking up $490,000 in overtime pay. If he worked more than half of the time in a calendar year, why can't the city tell us what he did?

I'm not stopping with ICE, this shit is all so rotten, we need to abolish the whole fucking for-profit carceral system.

It attracts all the worst people, who then weed out anyone but all the worst people. And they essentially then get a free pass to be psychopaths.

I don't feel safe AT ALL

The passage of the Laken Riley Act was immensely harmful, and Democrats are acting as if they had nothing to do with the current situation. Maybe some Democrats should have thought about this very moment when they voted to pass it.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: ‘I disagree’ with calls to abolish ICE The 2028 presidential contender came out against calls to dismantle ICE after an agent fatally shot a Minneapolis woman.

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy

It says ©1986 which is long after FM got big. You were only listening to like talk radio and the weather service on those things.

Again, new work requirements for Medicaid highlight the profits to be made from adding complexity to the safety net. Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people. As the other 55 states and territories are now forced to join Georgia and implement new work requirements, millions will lose their healthcare and Deloitte will cash in.

Is there something fundamental about the AT protocol which makes an edit feature impossible?

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Doctors in Minnesota decry fear and chaos amid Trump administration's immigration crackdown Doctors say immigrant patients are missing key medical appointments, afraid to come to medical clinics amid the Trump administration’s sweeping Minnesota immigration crackdown.

People outside of Minnesota should know that a lot of ICE agents are harassing, assaulting, and abducting people in plainclothes and unmasked.

Plainclothes ICE agents are especially likely to be in places people visit out of necessity—like hospital lobbies.

Nearly half of CDC surveillance databases have stopped updating ‘The consequences will be dire,’ former NIAID director Dr. Jeanne Marrazzo warns

ICE observers recording with phones are heroes, and are the reason we know the truth about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

In public health, we make observations by collecting and analyzing data. But RFK Jr. is taking the equivalent of our “phone”. Without data, he can lie with abandon.

Starting to think Democrats exist to capitalize off of, and diffuse any public opinion that drives actual change, even as they claim them when they succeed, against the Dems best efforts.

Dems want things to go back to the way they were, quiet killings. And they will, if WE don't force a change.

Try to send a DM on TikTok with the word "Epstein" in it. It won't go through. That's not just some theory.

Fox’s absurd attempt to cast Tom Homan as Trump’s good cop on immigration

I wrote about how Fox News is trying to portray Tom Homan as the immigration good cop, the professional, the cooler head -- all of which is absurd to anyone who knows the first thing about him. Fox is trying for a rebrand but the underlying policy hasn't changed.

Update, Tuesday, January 27, 5:45 p.m.: Letterboxd just got back to me (they are based in New Zealand), attributing the erasure to an innocuous, automated back-end update: This was an automatic update, caused by a previously incorrect premiere date. Letterboxd pulls through film data from TMDB, a user editable database for movies. The official premiere date was corrected on TMDB, automatically updated on the film’s main page on Letterboxd, thus preventing all reviews from appearing on the film page until its premiere. This happens from time to time on film pages through the automated sync, with no manual intervention required from the Letterboxd team.

There's been an update, they didn't go and delete them on purpose.

They did not have a warrant
