POV: You're 16, believe being in advanced placement math class means you're a once in a generation genius, and have just discovered Reddit.

Imagine being an Article III judge and you get this email on a Saturday night lol

a very confused Trump still thinks that people who make political asylum claims by definition come from insane asylums

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

If you refer to an LLM chatbot as an "entity" that you "engage with," I know that I can stop reading and I will not be missing anything of value.

I'm watching Canadian officials hold a presser on the Toronto plane crash and remarkably they're not blaming DEI or recklessly speculating about causes. They could never cut it down here in Trumplandia.

Go ahead. Let the people see you for what you are.

A good general epistemic rule of thumb: If you have spent a few hours or weeks studying an area large numbers of smart, educated people have worked in for decades, and you believe you have discoverer an earthshattering truth they all missed, your default should be to regard this as VERY unlikely.

Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

For those unfamiliar, the Associated Press is a non-profit cooperative formed by US news organizations that covers news for its 1,300 member papers, radio stations and TV stations. It is the foundation of the American press. It has always gotten the first seat and first question at official events.

Really remarkable how Greta actually counts as a trauma-inducing figure in modern conservatism.

I wish that journalists would stop uncritically buying into Musk's framing of what DOGE is doing as an audit. You can tell it is not an audit because it is being done by people with zero experience in auditing and the methodology is "poke around in files, looking for keywords without any context."

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

Chinese hackers Salt Typhoon continue to exploit access to telcos & universities world-wide via vulnerabilities in Cisco routers "The intrusions ... in some cases exploited the wiretap mechanisms built into telecoms for law enforcement use" 👮🏼‍♀️🐆 www.wired.com/story/chinas...

A "majestic" proposal for ethnic cleansing.

this attitude — paperwork is for sissies, real wars are won by Big Strong Men — is traditionally a harbinger of ruinous for defeat for everyone who holds it

the CFPB that Musk wants to shut down has won $21 billion for Americans from predatory financial institutions and big banks quick, does anyone know if $21 billion is more than $711 million

This might be the most nakedly corrupt document I’ve seen on DOJ letterhead — and I wrote a history of Watergate!

It's not every day you see DOJ argue that its own prosecution of a public official was the result of political bias, especially where that official endorsed the president and his chosen successor.

This is like Kendrick and Drake if both of them were Drake.

Oh my god, they just unintentionally wrecked a ton of red team playbooks at the NSA popular.info/p/the-nsas-b...

A group of international law enforcement agencies have seized the dark web leak site of the 8base ransomware gang. The NCA confirmed the legitimacy of the takedown message to TechCrunch and said the UK played a “supportive role” in the operation techcrunch.com/2025/02/10/g...

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.” — Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.

Snoop and Tom Brady: say no to hate Kendrick: actually

not sure Snoop Dogg fresh off performing at Trump’s inauguration is the best spokesperson for Stand Up To Hate tbh
