Screenshot from tv show where Jennifer Garner is kneeling and putting a banana up the tail pipe of a car.

If you know, you know:
“A banana in the tail pipe, it stops the car from running.

How do you know that?

I grew up in the 80s.”

Tune in tomorrow! Looking forward to moderating this talk with @whiskeyocelot.bsky.social and @oliviersylvain.bsky.social.

Small dog in a red coat and black boots peeing on a snow bank.

Pups going potty in a blizzard is all the content I need today. How’s it going for the rest of y’all on the East Coast?

This is the truest thing I’ve seen here in a long time. 😂

Watching the hockey gold medal game. Not gonna lie, Heated Rivalry has changed my viewing experience. Certainly making me smile more. 😉 Any others?

So…is this what happens when AI replaces human illustrators and/or graphic designers? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Maxim Naumov delivers heartfelt Olympic debut performance to honor parents Naumov posted a qualifying score of 85.65, a result that had most of the Milano Figure Skating Arena standing and applauding.

Am I the only one who teared up through now Naumov‘s entire skate tonight? I can’t imagine pushing through all that grief on such a public stage.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Directors Explain All: The Real Wedding, Those Grass People, the Child Who Got the Grammy Award and More Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime producers explain this year's show, including the real wedding, the grass people, the kid who got the Grammy and more.

This behind-the-scenes look at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show leaves me even more blown away by the entire production. The reason for the grass people is kind of amazing. 😂

Screenshot of news that Zuckerberg testimony is delayed because his lawyer is sick.

This sounds about as credible as “the dog ate my homework.”

Screenshot of book page with highlighted sentence that reads: “this was a problem Walter had not anticipated. These Jews had the information. The trouble was, they did not believe it.”

Snowy Sunday morning read: “The Escape Artist” by @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social. This sentence hit me extra hard today. The human condition continues…

Recruitment message from Amazon, from someone claiming to be Angelina Jolie

Hey guys, Angelina Jolie works for Amazon now and is trying to recruit me! She must really see my potential. And... is finally living up to hers.

Suspect arrested after a fire damages a historic Mississippi synagogue Authorities have taken a person into custody after a fire heavily damaged a historic synagogue in Mississippi

I’ve had @cnn.com on for 2 hours. Haven’t seen a peep about this. The biggest synagogue in Mississippi—one that was also bombed by the KKK in 1967–was burned, police calling it arson. Not an interesting enough story for the American people to know about, even if motive not yet certain? Terrible.

And… TRO granted!

A sweet Christmas present for @imranahmed.bsky.social, @counterhate.com--& for their mission of fighting antisemitism & protecting kids online. Also nice for our all-star legal team.

A lump of coal in the stockings of authoritarians & the merchants of disinformation

WATCH: The 60 Minutes CECOT Segment I was sent the CECOT segment anonymously in a group chat.

I think it’s actually super endearing. He is so enthusiastic about it and fully admits he doesn’t know how it’s pronounced. Unlike the CNN dude who pretended like that was intentional.

Smokey Robinson Mispronounces Chanukah I Cameo YouTube video by Cameo

1/2 While I appreciate @cnn.com's Harry Enten's attempt to act as if he intentionally chose a quirky spelling of Hanukkah/Chanukah, that's just plain old gaslighting. Somebody straight up screwed up. At least Smokey Robinson should feel a little bit vindicated. 😂

Antisemitic Trifecta➡️ When an antisemite uses an antisemitic book to make an antisemitic point. I normally wouldn’t amplify her, but can’t pretend she doesn’t exist or have a real following. This blatant antisemitism is f*ing dangerous. Hey Google: How much $ does she make from these YouTube videos?

reddit post from a presumably young person who watched sex and the city and couldn’t get over how much people smoked indoors. “wouldn’t everything smell bad?” they asked

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

“Even George (the dog) is upset!” This man is my everything today.

This one left me scratching my head as well.

That’s very kind, thank you.

She blew the whistle at Meta. Then her career fell apart. After exposing the harms of Big Tech, many whistleblowers say they faced poor job prospects and isolation in Silicon Valley. They have no regrets.

Original title of the piece: "Tech whistleblowers face million-dollar debts, job loss and isolation." (See screenshot above.)
Not loving the new title, which changed about 4 hours after the original, but I guess even the Washington Post has to chase that algorithm. Gift link: wapo.st/48V6Jni 4/4

...the risk takers, the democracy protectors & the helpers as much (or more) than we value these hugely rich and successful companies. Until then: I'll continue doing the work to shed light on & help protect against threats to our democracy, regardless of where those threats come from. 3/4

I believed Facebook leaders were making dangerous decisions affecting our public safety & democracy. Keeping silent was not an option for me. I was not surprised to see others highlighted in this article have that same resolve. My hope is that one day our society will value the truth sayers,... 2/4

🧵Speaking truth to power is never easy. I haven't spoken publicly much about the personal toll of my choice to speak out about my time working on election integrity issues at Facebook. But I was willing to share some details here. Despite the ensuing challenges, I say unequivocally: No regrets. 1/4
