We don’t launder Tucker Carlson’s reputation here.

He deserves to be viewed as a deplorable and avowed White Supremacist he always has been.

If anything, we use his “apology” video only a useful tool to share with Trump cultists still entrapped by the right wing propaganda as news ecosystem.

I'm convinced they are going to implement a means test for the NDIS and they will try to get an LLM to run it. It's going to be an inequitable shitshow and reduce none of the costs.

I'm going to run for president in 2028 and one of my Day 1 promises is I'm going to hire a couple big bald guys whose only job is to hurl corrupt pols out of public buildings like bouncers ejecting surly drunks, and then yell "and STAY out" at them as they tumble down the steps.

Benny Hill being chased by angry "saucy" nurses - and some robots - in a park.

Benny Hill being chased by angry "saucy" nurses - and some robots - in a park.

You know we've lost our way as a species when we build running robots and our first thought is to get them to do the Beijing half marathon and not to re-enact classic bawdy Benny Hill sexpest chase sequences in the park.

I'm not a strategist, but if the US wanted Iran to stop its blockade, wouldn't stopping theirs have helped?

Michael Weiss: Trump could ring up a reporter and tell him Mojtaba Khomeini has agreed to run the Kennedy Center and this would qualify as breaking news.

ABC Landline just now showed a farmer standing in treeless paddocks wondering how he can encourage birds back to naturally control insect pests in his monoculture crop seems like the ultimate ignorant comment?

I don’t feel like most deaths in detention just happen. They’re due to deliberate neglect. It’s murder or at least manslaughter

Fucking hilarious to call long term unemployment “downward mobility,” as if it’s just an issue of loss of status

Patel has publicly proclaimed that the FBI needs to demonstrate that it is “fierce,” and officials I spoke with said he was fixated on that image in private, as well. He recently expressed frustration with the look of FBI merchandise, complaining that it isn’t intimidating enough. Officials have grown accustomed to such behavior, and they have learned to roll their eyes at it. But they said the absurdity masks real concerns about what Patel’s leadership has meant for an institution that the country relies on for national security and the safety of its citizens. “Part of me is glad he’s wasting his time on bullshit, because it’s less dangerous for rule of law, for the American public,” one official told me, “but it also means we don’t have a real functioning FBI director.”

also notable that FBI officials share my take on Kash, which is that him being a drunken party animal is actually sort of the best case scenario in terms of what else he could be doing with his time
