Fresh from the mass pardons of cop-beating criminals, the GOP announces a new “investigation” of Jan. 6. Hard to see what they can add to the 800-page report of the bipartisan Jan. 6 Cmte, but they can procure the star witness who has so far refused to testify: Donald Trump.

Trump is now attacking Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde who admonished him to recognize the dignity of all people. Here is a portion of the admonition from Tuesday’s National Prayer Service that Trump took issue with. Trump can’t stand a message that is essentially “love thy neighbor.”

This is great and I’m very happy for everyone. But where are the celebrations for any of the 70 Palestinians who were released? I’m sure their families are equally happy! www.facebook.com/reel/9815070...

It’s interesting to me in a way listening to Yarvin. Because I do think he captures what motivates key tech bro types. But almost everything he says is puerile and mostly silly. Almost all the conversation is just him parrying questions with … www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/m...

I had Copilot forced on me yesterday. No way to turn it off + I’m also an editor + also have the same concerns. Unacceptable that we’ve had something forced upon us that we didn’t ask for, don’t want, and that jeopardizes our livelihoods! (Plus the hovering icon is bloody annoying.) 👇🧵

Dear Republicans, guess who does believe in climate change? California and Florida insurance companies. They don’t give a damn about your politics. Whether you claim to believe in climate change or not, we’re all in the same boat dealing with the consequences.

More of this - “Critical thinking has seven critical features: being inquisitive and curious, being open-minded to different sides, being able to think systematically, being analytical, being persistent to truth, being confident about critical thinking itself, and lastly, being mature” #cdnpoli

To my mind Brian Tyler Cohen is a national treasure: clear/ compelling/analytic/powerful/courageous and also funny. We need his voice more than ever. In today's post, he is angrier than I've ever seen him - and he's right to be angry.

Trump’s plea to put off his sentencing by NY Judge Merchan makes no sense. He has already been tried and convicted. He says some of the evidence should’ve been excluded, but the only possible remedy if that were true — it’s not — would be to reverse his conviction in the still pending appeal.

Israel created apartheid in Gaza and the West Bank, beginning with the Nakba in 1948. Now it is committing outright ethnic cleansing, if not genocide, with well over 45,000 killed, more than half women and children. www.instagram.com/reel/DCLnsEN...

"...we’re under a well-funded, well-coordinated information assault." This is a brutal look at the GOP's very successful years-long effort to destroy fact-based media. Thank goodness @karlbode.com also includes some solid ideas about how to fix things.

Isaac Asimov was born on this day in 1920. This quotation from 1980 holds up: “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States…. [It is] nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

As the Gaza genocide continues, Israel has set up a leisure village for soldiers in the enclave, offering a physiotherapist to massage their legs and backs; popcorn and candy floss machines ‘like at the cinema and fairs’; and a lounge with a fixed menu including Belgian waffles and fresh pretzels.

Billionaires have ruled over the rest of us for thousands of years. Then democracy was invented and it took the power from the billionaires and gave it to the people. Billionaires have tried to regain power over us ever since. That's why Republicans have been trying to destroy democracy.

Happy 2025 = 45², the first “square” year since 1936, the next being 2116. Its digit sum is also a square: 2+0+2+5 = 9 = 3². This last happened in 1681 and next occurs in 2304. And not since 900 has the year divided by the digit sum been a square too: 900/9=100 = 10² & 2025/9=225 = 15² QED. 👀🎉😁
