welp I've got a new book waiting on my kindle
This was so easy and delightful.
1) Browse to Amazon.
2) Search "Melania"
3) Top non-sponsored result is a free e-book, MELANIA: DEVOURER OF MEN
4) Buy with one-click. Amazon gets no money, and the algorithm gets wonkleborked.
5) Maybe read the book? Dunno. Haven't looked at it.

Great job everybody! Melania: Devourer of Men is number one across the board. Remember to pass the word: download this free ebook so that we completely screw up Melania T's algorithm this weekend.

Again, when Bari Weiss said she wanted to do "the fucking news" she apparently meant something different than what we initially assumed
Looking at the list of 19 new CBS News commentators, the median number of times they appear in the searchable Epstein database is 2 and the mean is 100

Holy shit. So this just happened at Minneapolis's legendary First Avenue club. That's Tom Morello introducing Springsteen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jHe...

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

I wish I could turn Microsoft into a person so I could kick it in the nuts. "We are raising prices by $40 a year to pay for AI that you don't use and hate with all your being. Oh, you're going to buy the 'Classic' version? Great! Have fun downloading everything you already use because we're dicks."

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

I would like to bet a dollar that this is because the ultra-sophisticated DOGE AI flagged some phrase like "a diversity of offerings at the salad bar" in a budget.
A remote Army base in Alaska that has a key role in intercepting incoming ICBMs in the event of nuclear war says it is struggling to keep its dining facilities operating following an exodus of staff under the DOGE budget-slashing campaign led by billionaire Elon Musk.
