Literally the only journalist in Britain doing their job properly

From the guy who always says something is coming in “two weeks”

Safer: These witnesses were not sworn, right? Witt: Correct Safer: But in your affidavit you said they were, right? And that's a false statement? Witt: It wasn't an intentionally false statement

Detroiter Nicole Williams when asked if Abdul El-Sayed is ‘a bit too left wing to win in Michigan’: “At this point what do we have to worry about? Anything but what we have. We're on our way to hell, so at this point: socialist, socialize, social, dont matter to me, lower my cost of living!”

Natalie Harp is sitting right next to Trump as his car rolls up to his Qatari bribe jet #TravelWithNatalie

What a striker. What a player. What a season. Your 2026 Ballon d'or winner: Harry Kane 👏

I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

I opened the Anthropic prospectus and it’s just the number 4

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Smart move by Mike Rogers' staff to set up his earpiece so it mutes any reference to Trump.

I'm quite willing to forgive this from a 27-year-old. Welcome to adulthood! A little late to it but happy you're here regardless.

New video up! Kind of a follow-on from the last one, because a YouTube comment made me feel bad for the author and I think a lot of people are buying into the mindset that it conveyed. Things wander from there. Cool jackets are mentioned. Next one is a cybersecurity talk. youtu.be/a7gxS7w5gi0

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

Obama: Remember draining the swamp? The only thing they drained was the reflecting pool after a no bid contract, and they messed it up

Ethan Klein dressing up his wife and mistress as Thing 1 and Thing 2 while he was Cat in the Hat for Halloween and knowing his wife didn't know is a level of evil that almost enters the same zip code as his wife leaving a desk job to terrorize Palestinians

A reminder: Jason Arday was innocent. "A fresh investigation by scientific publisher Taylor & Francis has concluded without substantiating plagiarism allegations against Jason Arday, the former Professor of Sociology of Education at the University of Cambridge."

what an astonishingly awful man Hasan is talking to

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive. archive.ph/FHGAt

it's always the ones you most suspect (stay for the end)

The DCCC funding this means that the Democratic party itself, not individual politicians, is endorsing anti-trans policies as an electoral talking point

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

Remember when Pete Hegseth's mom wrote him a letter telling him he was a misogynistic POS?

This is sad. General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s historic World War II globe was broken when Pete Hegseth’s team dropped it while trying to move it into his office.

he really did say that shit

they will be studying how dogshit the marketing and PR strategy of US AI companies was in the 2020s for the next 400 years. they’re calling them the worst to ever do it

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

Consolidation is killing our industry. The Gamergaters who make money off the rage game will have you think this is a victory. This is purely a loss. A loss of work and art and fun and expression in a space that desperately needs it. Massive fucking bummer.

I love the FT, but any article about this potential merger that doesn't mention the only obvious, screaming motivation for the whole thing happening is engaged in journalistic malpractice this is all about speedrunning a nearly trillion dollar pay package 🎁🔗: www.wsj.com/business/see...

AI shouldn't be able to fire you, fire a weapon, or deny you healthcare.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump’s dementia on shown yet again…

Donald Trump calls every Black woman who ever utters his name "low IQ" and elite media is like:

"refilling the nitrogen tanks isn't something you'll be doing at home, and at the moment it takes six to seven hours to fill all 600 liters" well yeah, until Tesla builds out its worldwide network of Nitrochargers and California subsidizes a prototype nitrogen swap system

If nothing else, it shows the Irish flag in its proper ratio 1:2. It annoys me when they use 3:4!

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

New in PN: Who wants to visit an authoritarian America? "Data shows the US on its way to being as unpopular a tourist destination as Russia, & for roughly the same reasons. In both countries, a tourist who runs afoul of the govt might spend months in a freezing warehouse without no legal counsel."

you can see everything 😌
