I’ve been saying on this site and on the old one for years that pundits are great, opinion-slinging is a noble profession, but none of them could eat without journalists providing facts on which to opine. Weiss is firing the sharks and hiring more remoras.
Turns out that Bari Weiss's all hands at CBS today is to announce she's bringing on some anti-vax guys and Niall Ferguson. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/b...

And right about now people should consider how it is impossible to run software on an iPhone or iPad without Apple’s approval. And nearly so on a Mac.
What a lovely copy of Signal and Bitchat you have on that phone. Be a real shame if it got marked as malware and de-installed…

Posted about Bit Chat in a tech slack and a complete numpty came out of the woodwork. Yeah, buddy. A new secure messaging app released by Jack Dorsey hasn't undergone extensive source code and published binary analysis by a zillion crypto and security researchers 🙄
He actually ran it past an AI 😂

Thanks to @dreadships.bsky.social I am somewhat educated in completely shit naval warship design and command, but I need an example or two of an elegantly designed and constructed warship of approximately the pre-dreadnought or dreadnought era?

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators.
ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

As a principled libertarian, I believe that anyone who doesn't immediately do what ICE says should be shot dead. And as a principled states' rights advocate, I believe that the federal government should not allow states to prosecute these shootings.

Love Massachusetts regulators and AG allowing National Grid to not fix a Worcester neighborhood's power for 5 weeks - Thanksgiving and all the winter holidays. NG refuses to fix service until the city overhauls a water main. One resident needs electricity for medical reasons.

If mass market self-driving tech is so safe, why does everyone else have to be warned when it's in use?
It's an admission production self-driving tech is more dangerous.
It's arrogant - "everybody adjust to our shitty tech"
It will almost certainly be used to blame victims

Fun fact, US INS 20+ years ago did not let my aunt back into the country with her newly adopted son despite perfect paperwork. Republican president at the time and my cousin is brown & from South America. They were cool with her coming back, just not the child she was now legally responsible for.
post deleted but it’s abolish ICE now and always has needed to happen

Can you people stop posting screenshots of every single thing the Coppertone Coward says? Especially since half of you are complaining about what he’s posting on Christmas….and posting it here, on Christmas? My feed is half that one fucking post. I just want to see Christmasy pics of cats and dogs.

Screenshotting his posts and screeching “ORANGE MAN BAD” had *zero* value. Stop rewarding his tantrums with attention.

I quote from Andrew Tate’s X profile:
‘Unmatched perspicacity coupled with sheer indefatigability makes me a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour.’
Erm…
This is certainly not the case when it comes to boxing Andy.
Oh dear.
You poor little love.

Allow Massachusetts Steamship Authority to top “someone turned the lighthouse off”: ferry captain and first mate failing to notice non-migratory jetty due to ungentlemanly debate over boinking other people’s wives. MSA, being a state agency, chose “hire a bridge referee” over “terminate dumbasses.”
