And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

60 minutes CECOT segment. Recorded through my browser. HD quality. Not phone. Spread it around. If you're press, it's yours. Go nuts.

It's streaming on a Canadian website, but there is no telling for how long.

the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT that was cancelled last minute had apparently already been sent to Global-TV which aired it in Canada. I suppose that risk in very short notice changes didn't occur to bari weiss as someone who knows nothing about her job

(it's a 14 minute video, recorded on a phone)

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

I took "the drug class" in college (a psych class about the ways various drugs affect the brain) and the professor was unsurprisingly pretty chill about a variety of drugs (with the caveat of how much a lethal dose would be).

His one hard rule?

NEW: Four sources tell @mzeff.bsky.social that OpenAI has become reluctant to publish research on the negative economic impacts of AI, including job displacement.

At least two members of OpenAI's economic research team have recently quit over that perceived pullback.

I know this is all very silly, but we should view being required to worry about continuity in Bond as the gift that it is, because this is how we get FACE/OFF Bond

Bond died? No, he was given FACE/OFF surgery. That’s why he looks different (again)
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
