Incredible thread, each card reveal made me feel like another one of the final pieces of duct tape holding my sanity together had been severed

What soulless, cowardice and morally bankrupt looks like.
We need a new Mark Felt to leak the Epstein files. You're old if you get that reference.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU
“The flag that flies when an American athlete wins a gold medal isn’t Donald Trump’s flag. It’s ours. The anthem that plays isn’t Donald Trump’s song. It’s ours. If we refuse to celebrate what’s great about our country because of the people trying to ruin it, they’ve already succeeded.” Amen.
in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you
You mean the guy who still can't find an 82 year-old woman taken from her home?
By the way, a reminder on Jack Hughes, since the grifters are already trying to hijack his postgame interview

Donald Trump illegally stole $1700 from you is a gift midterm message.
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
some of these entities gonna have to realize you missed the streaming service window and just put the shit on TV
It wasn’t so long ago that CNN sat down for a serious conversation with these guys. One of them is Pete Hegseth’s pastor.
Pretending these assholes are still ‘fringe’ is a dangerous mistake

I know nothing about this show and barely anything about this actor, but I’m unapologetically biased that locks are the best so I’m sold.
Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.
The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions!
This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...
“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

Wield power when it’s beneficial, suddenly disqualify yourself to humble civilian when you’re held accountable for said power.
The hypocrisy is clear as day and infuriating.
New government surveillance tool just dropped. If you’re on TikTok, the location data in particular is concerning, but I’ve been reading this weekend about algorithm and moderation changes too that make clear the intent of the Trump-friendly new owners. The platform is now a propaganda panopticon.
This is actually one of the most troubling ICE stories I’ve seen recently — an eye-popping sign of how corrupt, broken, and racist the internal culture is:
I think this person has the right take bsky.app/profile/soci...
this is where all the words Walz & Frey brought yesterday need to meet actual action, because people have pretty much hit the breaking point of leaders thinking saying mean things to the bad guy is sufficient
Yeah, it has long been the case that adult-oriented businesses have to be careful or risk the wrath of everyone from prosecutors to payment-processing companies, but "prominent social media company owned by world's richest person swiftly became world's largest CSAM producer" produces no reaction.
In a nutshell.
one thing I don't think people realize is that in arguments about human rights, it's not about trying to persuade the other party. it's not about them at all. they've already made up their mind. it's about persuading the audience. if I call out my teacher on being homophobic I'm not trying to change his opinion. I'm trying to convince any closeted kids in the room that they're not the monsters he's made them out to be. if I argue with my aunt about how racist she's being it's not because I expect to change her mind. it's because I'm hoping to god my cousin's kids hear and learn that maybe skin color doesn't mean what she says it means. people will try to hush you and say "they're not going to change their minds, don't bother" but it's not about them. it was never about them.
All of this...but additionally not letting the racist or homophobe think their opinion is the majority, that "everyone" believes the same crap and lies they do.
Ditto why I sometimes engage with "obvious trolls": it's not about convincing the troll, but hoping a lurker reading that hears the truth.
So, if you’re an NWSL GM, you are not allowed to decide yourself — using all of the tools of a pro team’s front office — that a Player has a High-enough Impact to warrant a certain salary. But you *are* allowed to vote on a list that would determine that that Player has a High-enough Impact.
Sure.
Terrific example of how a lot of people view their actions in public spaces since approximately 2020
It's worth reading through the whole thing, not just these horrific excerpts. Most important: not a single person -- with the exception of a guy who says he'll turn on CNN if he's out of other options -- gets their news from actual journalists. It's all RW podcasts, YouTubers and TikTok.
I really think it's important for these millionaire athletes, none of whom are children, to feel great shame for being interested in Adin Ross to begin with. Mookie Betts, you are 33 years old. You have a wife and children. You should not know who Adin Ross is.
