It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

to add to the Jake Paul schadenfreude, Andrew Tate also lost a fight to some reality TV influencer. most analysis of the fight I've read described his opponent as deeply untalented but Andrew lost anyway. Tate's endurance was awful and he was gassed after the first round.

Glad more of the Epstein stuff is being revealed but with it comes recognition that in a few years we will start hearing about some of the incredibly fucked up shit tech guys are doing at this exact moment

Back in July, he was on PBS trying to suggest that the whole Epstein thing was overblown and people should move on. Gee, I wonder why! www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
David Brooks: Yes, I can't believe anybody — people are voting on this. Like, there are some QAnon people who are upset. And there are people in the Trump administration who did exactly what Jonathan said. But I just can't believe any vote — people vote and they make decisions about politics based on their real lives, not some crazy conspiracy theory. And every August, we — Washington goes crazy with some stupid story. And then in September, we think, what was that all about? And so this year, we're a little early. We're doing it in July. But the idea that there's something there incriminating Donald Trump, his friendship with Epstein ended in 2004. The Democrats, Joe Biden administration, they had these files for four years. You think, if there had been something, you think they would have done something. The Justice Department, the courts, they have all said there's nothing actionable here. And so the problem is that — what Jonathan described, and then that Donald Trump went ballistic about it and ordered his own administration to somehow solve the problem. And then the underlying problem is that America seems to go through child abuse panics with some regularity. When I was a baby reporter, there was something called the McMartin preschool case in Manhattan Beach, California, where an entire preschool was accused of this gigantic sex ring with children and the trial that went on for years before everybody was acquitted because there was nothing there. But there's something about child abuse which is so horrific, it seems to captures people's minds and especially conspiracy mongers. (Crosstalk) David Brooks: Yes. Jonathan Capehart: And so that's also what we shouldn't lose sight of in this whole conversation. While, politically-, in Washington, we're all talking about how this has damaged the president, how Democrats are trying to take — use it to their advantage. At the root of this were girls as young as 12 who were trafficked and abused by Jeffrey Epstein and by Ghislaine Maxwell. And that should — we should never lose sight of that. David Brooks: Yes, that's a good point. And that's one of the reasons they don't want to release the grand jury, because it's incriminating sometimes to the witnesses, to their families, pictures of them with their faces blacked out, with their clothing on. So that's a very good point. Geoff Bennett: And I hear you say this does not represent a shift in the loyalty calculus among Donald Trump's core supporters. David Brooks: I would be shocked. I would be shocked. But there's obviously an active group around MAGA itself that they care. But I — people vote based on their lives, not on anything else.

Anyway, here's a photo of Brooks with his wife, who happens to be 23 years younger than him. This photo looks like a dad dropping his daughter off at college.

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.

Ribbon Finance suffers $2.7 million exploit, plans to use "dormant" users' funds to repay active users

December 12, 2025
https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=ribbon-finance-exploit
Ribbon Finance suffers $2.7 million exploit, plans to use "dormant" users' funds to repay active users Ribbon Finance, which has partially rebranded to Aevo, has lost $2.7 million after attackers exploited a vulnerability in the smart contract for legacy Ribbon vaults that enabled them to manipulate oracle prices and withdraw a large amount of ETH and USDC. Ribbon has announced it will cover $400,000 of the lost funds with its own assets. However, Ribbon is also offering users a lower-than-expected haircut on their assets by assuming that some of the largest affected accounts will not withdraw their assets, having been dormant for several years. While this plan may benefit active users, it seems like it could get very messy if those dormant users do wish to withdraw their assets and discover they've been used to pay others.

No surprise: new analysis shows that heat pumps can deliver excellent performance even in older buildings with no meaningful correlation between building age & heat pump efficiency.

This is in line with my own experience of having a heat pump in a 1880 Victorian home with only modest insulation.

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar

new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.
A screenshot of Apple Music’s auto mix feature, which the new iOS update defaults to on, thereby ruining the listening experience for countless millions.

Graham Linehan has such little self-awareness he *really* doesn’t understand how totally unhinged he seems in his ‘woe is me’ batshit crazy ranting! 😬

He’s the ‘cautionary tale’ of what obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobia leads to: no friends, no life, and spaghetti carbonara for one!
The Telegraph Graham Linehan My trans critics are cowards. Yes, Ardal O'Hanlon - that includes yOu I expected more from my friend of 25 years. But he would rather condemn me than fight for the rights of women and girls I expected more from Ardal. I never thought he would intone the catechism. "I still get on great with everyone," he said in a recent interview with The Times, "though I haven't seen much of the show's creator, Graham Linehan, and am baffled as to why he got involved in the culture wars. I feel sorry for him - he's entitled to his opinions, but the way he presented them made it confrontational. When I read that, I phoned him immediately. When people betray me, I always make the mistake of phoning them straight away. My heart was thumping in my chest as I found his number and gave him a faux-polite, "Hey Ardal, how's it going?". My anger was already boiling. I knew exactly what he would say - the exact same things Bill Bailey said when I phoned him, the exact same things Amelia Bullmore said when I wrote to her. I knew, and I phoned anyway, because I can't help myself. And when he started reading from the same script as all the others, I lost my temper. At some point, Ardal said, "I just disagree with you." I would have said all this to him on the phone, but I was so angry I could not get any of it out. In fact, at one point I said, "You're on my f--ing s--t list." Ridiculous, of course, but unfortunately true. Like Father Ted at the Golden Cleric Awards, I keep a tally of every person who took the easy path and watched me twist in the wind. I can't help it. I remember them all. Tim Heidecker saying I'd gone down a "rabbit hole". David O'Doherty, who didn't have the guts to speak to me. My own brother-in-law publicly calling me insane. Adam Buxton, Jon Ronson, Richard Herring, Stewart Lee. People who knew me, people who had my phone number, people who could have asked, people who assumed the worst because doing otherwise would have exposed them to the same treatment I was receiving. In condemning me, to use Douglas Murray's line, they raise a little flag outside their home so the mob will pass them by. And every time one of them hands a journalist another little quote - another "baffled," another "sorry," another "he's awful, but I hope he's okay" - they get to carry on with their lives while mine gets smaller. None of them

Those who believe or claim that "if Ukraine gives up part of its territory - or even the whole country - peace will come" either do not understand how the Russian state operates or are deliberately misleading others.

It’s enough to look at what Russia does wherever it manages to entrench itself: ⤵️

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.

Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed

the thing is that blowing up drug boats is just murder. no law licenses it. it is just war crimes. but to say out loud what the penalty for committing them is puts us in the position of accusing high government officials of capital crimes.

it is critically important to be able to say the obvious.

US national security strategy.
Something sure is unrecognisable here, but it’s not Europe.

www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...
But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure. The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence. Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation
