I’m not going to pretend I’m some deep connoisseur of Bad Bunny.

Most of what I’ve heard has been in news clips…or leaking out from my youngest daughter’s bedroom.

But here’s the honest truth: I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited to watch a Super Bowl halftime performer…as I am today.

The beauty of the lights is surreal so I can imagine them as souls released from the bonds of the terrestrial.

You KNOW things are rough in Russia when they can't even afford alcohol.

Yeah, right. 🙄

Renee Good's partner addresses Minneapolis immigration crackdown one month after killing Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

"you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free...."

This is a game in which Bad Bunny wins and the teams are inclusion versus exclusion. Wins on behalf of the former.

imagine having one of the best tech reporters of all time on your staff and then choosing to lay them off

NewsGuard alleges that Trump's FTC, which no longer has any Democratic members, has abused its antitrust powers by requiring a pair of ad-industry titans to promise not to work with NewsGuard before approving their $13B merger that created the world's largest ad agency.

NEW: NewsGuard, a company that rates the credibility of online news sites and tracks misinformation, just filed a federal First Amendment lawsuit against Trump's FTC, alleging that the agency is strangling its business because it disagrees with the low ratings of right-wing outlets. wapo.st/4a28gdd

This story published shortly after the Post laid off the author, ace cybersecurity reporter Joe Menn, along with the majority of our colleagues on the tech team and hundreds of others across the organization. Like so many others, this was Joe's dream job, and he was very, very good at it.

The number of talented, resourceful and truly good people who worked their whole careers for a job like this only to have the rug pulled from them by feckless rich men is staggering.

Naomi is one of the best — best tech reporters, best people — and I hope a wiser outlet than ours hires her soon.

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

cover of The Washington Post on Wednesday Feb 4, 2026. Headline on bottom, right: Musk wanted to hook users; his chatbot got more sexual

My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power

What a beauty!

An owl with short ear tufts sitting on a mound in a marsh turns its head to look at the photographer. It is surrounded by brownish yellow marsh vegetation.

Happy #SuperbOwl Sunday to all who celebrate! Here is a nice Short-eared Owl that we found last month in a marsh on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. They are hard to come by.

If you take a breath today remember to be grateful to the bottom of your lungs to these guys that made it all possible. Ice-polished ~1.5 billion yo Proterozoic fossil cyanobacterial stromatolite pavement, at Grinnell Glacier, Glacier NP, MT. Oldest fossils I have ever seen!

If he’s hanging out with brain worm Bobby, we know his judgement is suspect. They probably still party like it’s 1989.

McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

Good.

Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

MAGA: we don’t watch the NFL, it’s too woke

Also MAGA: spends two weeks bitching about the Super Bowl halftime show and the Black National Anthem every year
