Info about an account sharing viral video of the moon saying it’s Artemis 2 but it’s not, and that account is blocking people who point it out
Just in case folks miss this due to the block
i may have some regrets about brushing the monkey’s paw and wishing that more people took public transit
why the hell would we put windows 11 in space
That’s one hell of a cover…..
Sophisticates: it‘s slopulism to say we can’t have healthcare because of war spending
Republicans: you can’t have healthcare because of war spending
It's pretty shocking to me that the NYT is reading "J-pilled" as anything other than "hates the Jews and believes the conspiracy theories about them".
If Mamdani's staffers were using "J-pilled" it would rightly be front page news. But it's cool when Republicans do it, apparently.
feel increasingly worried/confident that the ultimate outcome here will be "Iran tolls the Straight of Hormuz and Trump lets them do it if they share some of the revenue with him"
Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
Huge, huge bummer. This is one of the most promising technologies I've ever covered.
New York has a Muslim mayor; the Patriots are losing the Super Bowl. The Long 9/11 is finally coming to an end.
This was the USSR's policy
My favorite Super Bowl memory is still when Elon Musk was at the 2023 game in Arizona and panicked about his Eagles tweet getting less engagement than Joe Biden's. He then flew immediately to Twitter's San Francisco office to start emergency meetings to fix the site's algorithm.
Honestly, it has to be a weird time to be a figure in pop culture due the president being Literally The Worst. Like, Elmo can say sharing is good and somebody in his X mentions will say “Elmo, you rotten son of a bitch. This goes against everything President Trump stands for.” And that’s not wrong.

what a shot
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night
The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter.
He's got to go.
Welcome to authoritarianism.
This is Trump’s America.
Healthcare is in the toilet, prices are skyrocketing, and the government is detaining, shooting, and murdering citizens.
Meanwhile we’re invading countries with plans to invade more
I'm monitoring first awful reports of two people shot in Portland by federal law enforcement. I'll keep you updated, but Trump's deployment of federal agents in my hometown is clearly inflaming violence — and must end.
Tina SMITH is saying "fuck" now??
We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911
"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.
They see her as subhuman. She's a lib, a Democrat. She does not enjoy the protections of the law that conservatives do.
Headline: Minnesota Officials Dispute Federal Account of Fatal ICE Shooting
This is the current front page of the Times. The Washington Post is even worse. Their headlines are privileging the accounts of the administration with a track record of lying as being as valid as eye witness accounts and videos.
Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.
Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”
i’m gathering my thoughts for a piece about All Of This and the word “rot” just keeps popping up
