One name in one language, different in the other

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

I just saw this meme by @goldonbear.bsky.social and now you have to see it too

Prime example of why there is no safe level of exposure to X propaganda, no matter how immune you think you are.

One day you're a highly intelligent, influential political leader. The next you're sharing content from an Infowars conspiracy theorist to your millions of followers.

Get off that site.

Alysa Liu’s Olympic run came with terms. Her choreographer helps her express them Liu is the best U.S. hope for an Olympic medal in women's figure skating, which would be the country's first in the competition since 2006.

“When Liu, 20, decided to return to skating, she did so with conditions. She’d wear what she wants. Dance to the music she wants. Eat what she wants. Take breaks when she wants…. [Skating] would be the vehicle through which she displayed the real Alysa.”

she did it! her! way!!

Trump take farm

One of the grossest things in modern football is how a bunch of racists have seen that Vinicius jr reacts to racism, and therefore they use that against him, resulting in him being a constant target, which then has self-proclaimed non-racists acting like he must be making it all up.

'Racist' Benfica footballer Gianluca Prestianni breaks his silence over the Vinicius Jr row after 'claiming his abuse was HOMOPHOBIC - not racial'

Oh well that's okay then 🙌🏻

No white player would ever be told to tone down their goal celebration. And to suggest incitement is also profoundly racist. Mourinho should, at the least, apologize; but I’d love more punishment.

And I’m sorry, saying you’re the club of Eusébio doesn’t mean your club/its players aren’t racist.

mourinho's argument is that benfica definitely isn't a racist club because reasons and also vini should try being more humble, like noted limelight-shirker jose mourinho.

I’ve been thinking about doing a meta story on this for a while: the second trump administration is so pathetically, world historically psychotic that you likely don’t know what’s happening with his labor department. It’s a constant stream of scandals and excess

Constant.

WWE sex abuse suit raises concerns ahead of Linda McMahon's hearing to run Education Dept. McMahon is a defendant in a lawsuit accusing her and her husband, Vince, of turning a blind eye to the sexual abuse of minors in WWE.

Now, bear with me, because Trump's Secretary of *Education* has been embroiled in a sex abuse lawsuit from her former place of employment which was, of course for an educator, WWE pro wrestling ...

Trump’s labor secretary accused of taking staff to strip club on official trip Lori Chavez-DeRemer, currently under investigation by her department’s inspector general, denies wrongdoing amid allegation that she took staffers to bar outside of Portland, Oregon, last April

At the same time, it's Trump's Secretary of *Labor* who took staffers to a strip club while her husband was allegedly committing sexual assault against staffers at the agency ...

A Pilot Fired Over Kristi Noem’s Missing Blanket and the Constant Chaos Inside DHS Secretary faces fire for confrontational immigration crackdown and self-promotional style; White House to wind down Minnesota operations.

Just to keep it straight ...

why would you become close friends with people who are supposed to detect human trafficking? probably just a very personable guy

Update 2/19/2026: After this piece was published, I heard from two different people who received The Atlantic’s original press push email for the piece around 4:30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. At that time, when they clicked through, there was not an editor’s note/disclaimer on the piece at all. Both of those readers, who are professional journalists, responded to the press email with confusion and asked if the story was real. An Atlantic publicist emailed one of these readers back and said, “This is based on a mother’s real account. Thanks for checking.” Sometime after that, the disclaimer was added and it was there when I read the story around 7 p.m. on Thursday night. An Atlantic spokesperson told me yesterday, “The note was added almost immediately after publication.” This information is significant to me because it suggests that within The Atlantic there was confusion about whether the piece was fictional.

That Atlantic measles story was so poorly/deceptively edited that even the site's own flack thought it portrayed the actual account of a suffering, soon-to-die little boy.

Revealed: Epstein cultivated relationship with CBP officer, causing US investigation Guardian review of US justice department files reveals Epstein interacted with six CBP officers. The officer investigated denied any knowledge of trafficking underage girls

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented.

Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

Once again, I am promising Democrats there are literally thousands of former department of justice people who will crawl over broken glass to prosecute this administration given the chance

Yesterday, those who teach Intro to Sociology at Florida colleges (as opposed to universities) received a ready-made curriculum from the state and were ordered to teach it.

Yes, you read that correctly. The *state* is enforcing a curriculum on college profs, complete w/ the following restrictions:

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

musk infamously misunderstands every single cultural reference he has ever encountered, the idea that he has any credibility to talk about common culture is nonsense, he's a billionaire south african from a family of billionaires who has at least 14 children with 4 different women

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

They promised us future societies on Mars and are delivering "what if we did Vernon, CA but in Brownsville?"

2025: we have to get rid of large numbers of government employees because the standards were lowered for them

2026: we're lowering the standard for government employees

"the “free speech” grift was never about protecting individuals from the state. It was about protecting a specific type of speaker from the social consequences of their speech"

Be holding this off incase something else's leaked from the files

People make a fundamental error with Trump that him facing consequences for his criminality rests of amassing irrefutable evidence rather than a certain number of Republican Senators and Representatives deciding that he should no longer be the dictator.

DOOCY: On Prince Andrew, do you think American associates of Jeffrey Epstein will wind up in handcuffs too?

TRUMP: I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. That's very nice. I can actually speak about it very nicely. I think it's a shame. I did nothing.
