I heard that the Ohio State University football program is mere weeks away from having nuclear weapons.
The Tamale Guy has been chosen as the new ayatollah.
I guess Operation Epic Fury is better branding than Operation Please Stop Talking About Epstein or Operation Maybe This Will Help Me in the Midterms or Operation We'll Work Out the Details Later.
A good rundown of where we are now and what, if any, recourse there is.

I feel like this snowplow naming contest has been happening for 10 years. There's not even snow on the ground anymore it's taken so long.

Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles
NEW FROM SLATE TECH: We haven't figured out phones in classrooms, and now kids might be sitting next to someone wearing Meta's AI glasses that can see, hear, and record everything in real time.
Great work from @stefficao.bsky.social

My favorite thing about Trump's reasoning for the racist retweet is that it assumes every still believes interns are in charge of the social media. As if social media consultants aren't paid fat salaries to manage posts but rather college students doing it for college credit.
NEW: "I know a woman who went into credit card debt for an abortion... another who used her house down payment."
Trump is turning Reproductive care into a debt trap. That's why personal finance writer Amanda Holden recommends saving for an abortion.

I have finally caught up on the Moltbook news and have concluded that people need to get a grip. This is a sideshow that is interesting for 3 seconds before you just realize you're watching a sock puppet show and not a very interesting one. Quit being impressed by chatbots!
A staggering statement from former Washington Post editor Marty Baron: "This ranks among the darkest days in the history of one of the world's greatest news organizations."
If you’ve been looking for a way to get Windows 7, now’s the time. slate.trib.al/wWMVzOv
New from me: People are pirating software, activating Windows, and downloading random manuals from the Epstein files. It’s absurd—and shows how badly the DOJ mishandled the release, with real, dangerous consequences for victims.

New from Slate Tech: People are forming support groups to recover from relationships with A.I. chatbots. Some lost jobs, savings, marriages, and their grip on reality along the way.
Great story by @tanyachen.bsky.social. Edited by me.

What is the end goal of ICE in Minneapolis? A lawyer on the ground has an idea.
Listen to @maryharris.bsky.social in conversation with @whstancil.bsky.social on this episode of What Next: slate.com/podcasts/wha...
New from Slate Tech: On Sunday, TikTok users reported outages and glitches. The timing on the same weekend as the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, as well as the transfer of its operations to Trump-aligned ownership, raised suspicions.

We need to have an honest conversation about how The Onion has kind of fallen off.
Everyone's angry and the temperature is really high—and we should all be angrier than this even.
Notice their response isn't that the guy was trying to hurt them (because he wasn't) or that he was threatening them with the gun (because he wasn't). It's just that he *had* a gun. That's it. Something that's completely legal. That's their justification for his execution.
Something feels deeply wrong about the fact that Steve Zahn is almost 60 years old. It doesn't make any sense. It feels like when a character in a Lovecraft novel sees a creature from beyond time and space and their mind has to reconfigure it into something that their mind can reconcile.
Glad to see the kids united about something truly important
Happening Now: Students have walked out of school and are protesting against ICE in Saint Paul, Minnesota
Hate to add more stuff onto the pile of stuff but I don’t think there should be a flood alert on a 50 degree night in mid-January in Chicago.
If you aren't around Republicans daily, you can't comprehend how angry they've been for five years that the BLM protests went off without a public reprisal. That's what all of this ICE bullshit has been about: Poking Democrats until there's a reaction, so they can do what they wanted to do then.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
Jesse Welles making a new song every time there's a tragedy is gimmicky and gross.
