🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

A Brexit-supporting billionaire who fled abroad so he didn’t have to pay any tax to help the people of his country says he’s lost confidence in the UK.

Over six months, we tracked the appearance of child sexual abuse material on X. We found images from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's database, which is considered one of the most highly vetted and which many tech companies block on upload. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/11/t...

Republicans have spent the last year trying to defund Dolly Parton

Nobody was thinking that Iran might fight back. No one!

The Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, Washington DC

One day MAGA will sit where every political movement eventually sits: in the museum of bad ideas. And a lot of people who quietly went along with it will ask themselves a simple question. Why was I such a coward? open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

US-Israeli-led bombing hit a girls school… Death toll now at 150 A war launched illegally by two depraved men desperate to cling to power and stay out of jail …and they call others terrorists.

Israel livestreamed themselves committing genocide and not only has the Developed world not punished them for this it is now joining them in an illegal war of aggression against Iran. The people who endlessly lecture us about the rule of law, moral action and decency are despicable monsters.

After latest release country should move on to Epstein trials.

This is, quite literally, our collective duty.

If FIFA was actually capable of embarrassment they'd have died of it years ago...

The more I think about this, the angrier I get. It takes a particularly virulent strain of sociopathy to sit and let hard-working people serve you a meal knowing that you plan to arrest them and send them off for deportation once they're off of work. Really depraved shit.

Trump is selling seized Venezuelan oil and putting the cash in a bank account in Qatar. Nothing to see here. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Abolish ICE. If you work for ICE, quit right now.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

THREAD. My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments. I've collected his work here...

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food. Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

We have to completely destroy the AI industry

Fact-check: true

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

I highly recommend @piccalil.li courses to all web developers, and the Black Friday deals are ridiculously good. If you have a continuing education stipend at your job, use it here! piccalil.li/black-friday/

This module has so far been one of the most useful to people taking JavaScript for Everyone, so we made it free so you can get an idea of how good Mat is at teaching JavaScript. Maybe it’ll convince you to get the whole course 👀 piccalil.li/links/the-en...

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

The real BBC bias story, narrated by Anna Ford

Someone put this "blue plaque" on a London Tesla showroom to mark his becoming the world's first trillionaire. “World’s first trillionaire Elon Musk. Could have solved world hunger but funded fascists instead. Bellend.” www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/everyon...

Farage: epic grifter

NEW: Police knew a Kremlin spy ring recruited former leader of Reform Wales at least 3 years ago. So why was Nathan Gill not charged till Feb this year? Pls read part 2 of @thenerve.news special investigation into Nathan Gill. And please share! 1/

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

In work and politics, it genuinely doesn’t matter what you were thinking when you actively aided and abetted in shitting on people’s work, built systems that helped fascists, ruined the education system and pretty much all of media. What matters, and what you should be judged on is what you did

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Is Nigel Farage a fascist?

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado. The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

So Apple is censoring another ICE-spotting app, and I think we need to talk about the coverage, as much as Apple's groveling pre-compliance. @404media.co broke this, specifically @josephcox.bsky.social, and unlike some previous coverage, it includes this: 404media.co/apple-banned-an-….

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
