Dan Eggen was one of the good ones, which is why Bezos’s hatchet man Matt Murray shamelessly fired him from the Washington Post immediately after the 2024 election to appease Trump. RIP.

Why is this douche still coming up in my feed? 🧐
Why are people bitching about the cost of living? Am I right ?
Every single Republican voted against it.
John Roberts’ Wife Made Millions From Bribes
Jane Roberts was paid more than $10 million by a host of elite law firms, a whistleblower alleges.
At least one of those firms argued a case at the Supreme Court after paying hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Crypto billionaire Justin Sun is suing Trump-linked World Liberty Financial, alleging it froze his $75M investment, blocked sales, and stripped his voting rights.
Sun says he was pressured to buy more and retaliated against when he refused—calling it a scheme to “profit through fraud.”
Cause prohibition works so well! 😑
Outrageous. @chiosse.bsky.social was protecting one of his neighbors from eviction, as a result of deed theft — a plague in Central Brooklyn right now. There was no reason for NYPD officers to roughly throw him to the ground. It sure doesn’t make anyone safer. Release him now.
LOL! Not one of the 104 World Cup games is sold out yet. Not even the games of the three host countries. 😂

7 wks of fighting Iran just cost the US 45% of its Precision Strike Missile stockpile. 50% of Patriot and THAAD interceptors. 30% of Tomahawks. CSIS says it will take 1 to 4 years to replenish. All while failing to achieve a single strategic objective and turning the US into a global laughing stock.
WATCH: “Do you have someone specific in mind? Are there not people in MEMPHIS that can do this job?”
We asked Speaker Sexton & Rep Mark White about their last minute push to let Sexton put a NON-MEMPHIS person on their school board takeover board — adding insult to insult.
Daniel Kinahan, one of the most powerful cocaine traffickers in the world, was recently arrested in Dubai. Last year, Ed Caesar wrote about how Kinahan commanded a billion-dollar empire from the U.A.E.—while living a strikingly public life. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/VvjY8B
For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself.
Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
1/7 Palantir’s manifesto is a terrifying glimpse into tech-authoritarianism.
They aren't just selling software, but dictating global morality.
Who do they think they are?
Who elected Alex Karp and Peter Thiel to run the world?
Europe should stay away from Palantir
Another close call at another airport. You know, the right relentlessly hammered Pete Buttigieg about stuff like this when he was in office, saying he was inexperienced and a DEI hire.
But now…..crickets. Nothing about the real world guy.
A little background on who the Southern Poverty Law Center is and what kind of work they’ve been doing for decades makes it clear that DOJ’s indictment (which is of the center, not of any individuals) is vindictive & malicious, an attack on civil rights work itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Rich guy grievance is so pathetic. Retaliating against my unprovoked abuse is the real abuse. Lashing out and then crying as official national policy
"Meta is installing new tracking software on US-based employees’ computers to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes for use in training its artificial intelligence models"
The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling allowing Texas to MANDATE posting the 10 Commandments in school classrooms proves how debased our federal courts are. The Constitution is clear: the government cannot pick its favorite religion. The 5th Circuit votes in favor of state-sponsored religion.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Verge headline: Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want by Elizabeth Lopatto Illustration of a brain melting in the sun
"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and LLMs. What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

They think you're stupid.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its tracking of hate groups, said that the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the nonprofit regarding their use of informants.
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Author @gilduran.com was just banned from “free speech absolutist” twitter for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
watching the latest episode of Bill Maher to prep for the I Hate Bill Maher podcast and this guy is just a total dipshit, huh?
