Everyone Speaks Incel Now After migrating from misogynist forums to social media feeds, terms like “looksmaxxing” and “mogged” are now impossible to avoid.

ICYMI: This @wired.com piece from @milesklee.bsky.social presents one of the best takes I've read yet on incel culture's creep into the mainstream. Looking at it linguistically is smart as hell & worth a read.

wait whatthefuck? I DID miss this in fact!

Seized Art, Eavesdropping Guards: Parents Describe a Clampdown at Dilley Detention Center as Kids Shared Their Stories Detainees told ProPublica that art supplies have been removed in room searches, immigrants have lost access to Gmail and staff hover within earshot during video calls.

You know how sometimes so read about something so evil, you're already picturing it in "Schindler's List" black & white? That's this @propublica.org piece by @mckenziefunk.com & @micarosenberg.bsky.social. Read it, you'll envision the Oscar-winning film 50 yrs from now about these horrors.

The fact that in this economy Thomas Friedman still has a job giving us his worthless opinions is a profound moral and institutional failing

What's extra frustrating is, for a long time, speech to text was one of LLMs' most functional applications. There was actually a window (~ 2018, pre-Chat GPT 4.0) where dictation & translation leveled up massively b/c they shifted to LLM. We could stopped there!

I know I'm hopping in late but reading this thread really drives home how low our expectations for this man are, & how long it's been since we had an opposition leader at all.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

"Send your reps a letter" is very Trump 1 coded but this is still theoretically a country. This tool makes it easy and the letter is well-written. (And editable for you to add your 2 cents)

ok that's fantastic

*PS* I just learned recently that a good friend of mine was on the team that prosecuted the RTLM! & is a huge fan of yours.

The carnivore cult is so organ-meat-pilled, it makes me laugh really hard to think of the conversation they would have with my German grandma about the benefits of blood bread

❤️ that this book is still finding new audiences. Reading it changed my life when I read it in Dec 2016 & has helped me see the far right's project clearly ever since.

OK I *understand* going Utley over Ryan Howard but that does not mean I concur. Justice for the Big Piece!

(thanks for the article) ❤️

I'm not gonna lie: kind of

Someone had to

Harlow's still here Fifty years ago, Harlow was the queen of Philadelphia nightlife, Jack Kelly’s girlfriend, and the city's most famous transgender woman. Today, she’s ready to tell her story.

Rachel Harlow had a nightclub named after her in the freaking 60s!

lol exactly! I started understanding Business Things a lot better once I realized that most subsidiary brands are basically Halloween costumes for different products

This all makes total sense, Pepperidge Farm was bought by Campbell's not long before these came out!

(The Hunter's Soup one would totally clean up today)

it’s been said plenty, but there’s no hell hot enough for these people and we’re going to need nuremberg trials that make the rest of the world go “geez, maybe take it a little bit easier on these people?”

You know your brain is deadline-fried when you find yourself opening a thesaurus tab and searching synonyms for "question"

The Court, accordingly, ORDERS that: 1. Plaintiffs shall file under seal (but not ex parte) by February 20, 2026, a Notice indicating which Plaintiffs are currently in which third countries; 2. Plaintiffs shall by February 27, 2026, file a Notice noting the number of Plaintiffs who wish to travel independently to a U.S. port of entry or who wish to be flown from a third country to the United States for their court proceedings, understanding that in both scenarios they will be detained upon arrival. Plaintiffs shall simultaneously file a separate Notice under seal listing the names of such individuals; 3. Plaintiffs shall by March 9, 2026, file a Notice giving the number of Plaintiffs (in Venezuela or third countries) who wish to file supplements to their habeas class petition, including challenges to the Proclamation or their identification as TdA members. Plaintiffs shall likewise file a simultaneous Notice under seal listing those individuals’ names

The Government shall promptly return to Plaintiffs upon written request by their current counsel all passports and identification documents that any agency currently retains, and it shall make good-faith efforts to obtain any of Plaintiffs’ passports or identification documents that were transferred to El Salvador; and 5. The Government shall file a Status Report by March 13, 2026, explaining how and when it will transport any Plaintiff seeking return to the United States from a third country. In that Status Report, the Government shall also inform the Court as to the feasibility of returning Plaintiffs still in Venezuela who wish to return for their proceedings. It shall also describe the steps taken to obtain any passports or identification documents from El Salvador.

BREAKING

Judge Boasberg ORDERS the Trump admin to facilitate the return of the more than 100 men spirited out of the country last year without notice or a hearing.

Plaintiffs may also submit habeas petitions from abroad, he says.

I have hit the end of my recording time so many times

a crab holds up a cigarette and yells "Call your senators"

JFC I've heard that Fetterman is considering supporting the SAVE act. It's a disaster of a bill that would create sweeping disenfranchisement.

Whoever your senators are, I don't care, call them. I don't wanna hear if you think they definitely will or won't support this, take 3 minutes & call.

On Friction-Maxxing and Glimmers of Hope We go long with the BBC’s Thomas Germain about his upcoming show “The Interface”; a new digital drop sifts through slop; and hurry, CBC is taking your pitches!

Trump is wiping out all climate regulation. Big Oil may regret it. For decades, oil majors fought climate regulation. Now, they’re afraid Trump’s extreme rollbacks could leave them on the hook to pay for what they’ve done.
