The fact that this is happening is hard-core insane. 🇺🇸 needs to be unplugged. And “maybe” plugged back in again. Because it is f*<#ed! On second thought…just unplug. We don’t need it to restart.
We are back. The rescheduled White House Correspondents Dinner is live at the Waldorf Astoria. Your uncredentialed correspondent has returned from her sofa in the Midwest. No press pass. No canapés. Just a dog, a television, and absolutely no filter.

I'm interested in hearing if @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social authors were aware their books would be getting fed to Kindle Translate instead of getting a proper translation.
So @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social got caught using Kindle Translate for their translated books instead of paying translators?? Wish I could say I was surprised this is coming from the same company that had/has a cover designer leaving stock photo watermarks on covers and later using genAI, but

Dork F150: "I require a tactical vest, emergency rations, and a gun to navigate the highway to Home Depot." Chinese Grandma in San Francisco: "I will cross the busiest part of town to get groceries and I will do it while pushing the world's oldest portable shopping cart onto a bus. I am 4'5''."
The big strong conservative sigma males scared shitless of cities are so goddamn funny. Any given Brooklyn grandma is ten times the man these twerps are

Others have said this, but it's true: all the money that pours into Democratic campaigns is so much better spent on buying media infrastructure.
It's galling to contemplate but I really think you have to admit that Musk buying X was an unqualified victory. It can't be exaggerated just how much prominent journalists, pundits, business type, etc. mistake the vibe on X for "how the country is feeling."

Canada has a legal obligation under domestic and international law to deny export permits for military machinery that could be used against civilians. My latest on the need for the PM to cancel the export permits of the Rochel vehicles going to ICE. charlieangus.substack.com/p/canada-mus...

Take that $29 million out of the budget for the police. And permanently reduce the police budget by that amount in future years.
"'She is dead,'" Officer Auderer told Officer Solan, before bursting out laughing. "'No, it’s a regular person,' Officer Auderer said, adding: 'Yeah, just write a check — $11,000. She was 26, anyway. She had limited value.'"

This is the publishing industry equivalent of wage theft.
If you're an author with Sage Publishing, and recently received a communication from Sage about filing a claim in the Anthropic class action settlement, be aware that Sage's proposed settlement split (90% to Sage, 10% to author) is being contested chatgptiseatingtheworld.com/2025/12/22/t...

Wishing our friends at Subterranean Press the best of luck while they work with Amazon to get this straightened out. You can also buy their ebooks direct from them at subterraneanpress.com. (Cutting Amazon out of the picture.)

This seems like the most straightforward and also basically accurate message.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Starvation is always a policy choice. Just like homelessness.
The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP. They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown. They’re refusing. Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop. Starvation as a policy choice.

Any politician who opposes trans rights is also opposing bodily autonomy, which is basically the foundation for your right to live as a free person, so you should support trans rights out of rational self-interest If the man in the big chair can deny me HRT, he can deny you whatever he wants, too

idk guys, "we're going to train our military on our cities" seems like the kind of thing that's 1) very bad and 2) very easy to message against but what the fuck do i know
Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

This should be a regime ending moment.
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"
