One of the funniest things Ive ever seen was an exchange where a macho man was explaining that he'd torture a terrorist with the ticking time bomb justification, and someone else said 'Suppose the terrorist agreed to tell all if you personally gave him a blow job'.

Who could possibly have foreseen that war on Iran would (a) make Iran retaliate by closing the strait of Hormuz, which (b) could disrupt world oil markets, enriching Russia and penalizing most everyone else?

Who, indeed, except EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER THOUGHT FOR ONE MINUTE about the situation.

Coffee will probably never get cheaper.

Glad it's helping!

The powerplay in this, btw, is when FIFA/Kraft try to bully the committee in the public meeting with a lawyer saying they do not have the authority to block the permit.

At which point the committee just Zoom call their own counsel who's like:

"Pfff. Yeah you do. Ignore that dude." To the room.

Excellent! Also "bluski"

I thought this was a joke, there's only about 340 million people in the US, they can't even math!

I wasn't exactly a fan, more an interested observer

It was Francois’ idea and I helped write it! I don’t scroll comments so I did not see the hate. I was vibing watching figure skating highlights.

Hudson commented on a fans post on threads ✨

oh he and françois (and the rest of the cast, I imagine) are fed up

man that’s crazy that the US missile did that of its own accord

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

People ask us all the time if their state is considering a social media age verification law, and we've finally had the time to pull one together (with only *moderate* snark, even!) dw-advocacy.dreamwidth.org/1493.html

My name is Marisa Kabas, and I'm an independent journalist who publishes The Handbasket. I'm reaching out about a matter that involves your team and that continues to trouble me. In June of last year, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and I filed a FOIA lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan Police Department to compel them to release body camera footage from the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace. What followed was months of back and forth with their lawyers, arguing why it was in the public interest to release the un-redacted footage in its entirety. Though tiny segments were handed over, that wasn't enough: We wanted all of it.  On February 18, 2026, a DC judge ruled in our favor, and your reporter Mark Segraves sent a kind note of congratulations that day. Then on Monday, March 2nd, the footage was handed over to me and excitedly announced I'd received it and would be reviewing it in the coming days and sharing what I learned. When Segraves emailed me this past Thursday asking for my phone number, I didn't think much of it. But when he called me just before 2pm on Friday to let me know NBC4 Washington would be airing a segment at 5pm, I grew concerned.  Segraves said he'd obtained some of the footage via a FOIA request that week after he heard the footage had been released to me. He said he'd credit the work of RCFP and me, but it was little comfort. I asked if he'd known the day before when he emailed me for my number, why didn't he tell me then? He didn't have a good answer for that. He acknowledged all the hard work I'd done getting this footage released. I asked him if he could hold the story until Monday, to which he replied that he's "not just a blogger" (implying that that's all I am, presumably) and that he'd have to check with his editor. I said fine. Nearly an hour later he called back to say his editor refused to hold the story, but that they were happy to interview me via Zoom to add to the package, and I said I would.

What followed was two hours of furiously writing and posting clips of the footage to Youtube so I could get something published before the 5pm broadcast, and in the midst of that, recording a quick Zoom interview with a person who was about to take credit for my work. At 4:59pm ET, The Handbasket published a piece titled "Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid." Then I tuned into NBC4 Washington via your website to catch the broadcast, and my instinct to rush to get something out first was proven right.  "It's a story you're seeing first on News4," your newscast began. "For the first time we're getting an inside look at what happened the day the Trump administration took over the US Institute of Peace. News4 obtained more than four hours of police body camera video from that day." What followed was more than six minutes of clips and commentary from Segraves, but it's not until six minutes and 21 seconds into the piece that he mentions my name (mispronounced though he asked for the correct pronunciation on Zoom), "The Handbasket blog," and the RCFP's foundational role in bringing this footage to light. I was angry, but didn't feel there was much I could do. Then I saw the version NBC4 posted to Instagram and TikTok—the video itself made ZERO mention of the RCFP or my work, only briefly acknowledging it in the written caption on Instagram, and not even bothering to do that on TikTok. An average viewer with no background on the case is lead to believe that this footage was released because of your efforts. When I saw that, I decided I couldn't let this go. It's difficult to explain what it's like to spend nearly a year working on a story only to have another reporter and outlet surreptitiously take credit for it; months of work and personal risk only to have another reporter lying in wait to swoop in. What NBC4 did was immoral, unethical, and to be frank, just truly sucked.

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

Rachel Reid tells the Loon Call podcast that Hudson shared his SNL dressing room with her so she could watch the show from backstage.

She also revealed that his dinner appearance was a complete surprise to everyone. Everyone assumed he was too busy filming to be in NYC.

Today I've seen Trump compared to Commodus, Caligula, &Nero. As a Roman historian, I note that Commodus got Rome out of pointless foreign wars & actively protected Christians from prosecution, Caligula built major aqueducts, reduced taxes, & restored elections, & Nero protected slaves & freedmen.

girl at the rink tonight in a Boston Raiders t-shirt got MOBBED. people skating over to shout Rozanov!” at her.

So, he doesn't give a shit, not enough people are boycottin to make the profits go down.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

And that is a disgusting antihistorical argument.

Maybe he meant "mirage"?

I find Hudson sending paper airplanes to the fans completely delightful -- making real contact!

The burning oil refinery in Tehran tonight.

This ancient city of 10 million people is being annihilated by the US and Israel.

woohoo new chapter of this "they were both on the same plane to Sochi and the plane crashed in the wilderness" story that I am loving just dropped (Hollanov, natch) archiveofourown.org/works/79439206

Could your taste be affected by the way your family made it? secret herbs and spices?

The part about how if she was a man, all of her negatives would be in the positive column really hit me. That’s how I’ve been treated in every office I’ve ever worked in.

I am a weirdo who has an analog clock on all four walls of her main living/kitchen room space, and they are awkward to get to and now we get to see how long I let them be the wrong time.

We are so past the point of needing to invoke the 25th Amendment that the line behind us has disappeared over the horizon.

If you want sapphic heated rivalry and you haven't seen the A League of Their Own series from a few years ago over on prime video, you are missing out.
