Credit where credit is due, Blair is the right guy to get when you want to sell a tiny kernel of truth with an entire dumptruck of bullshit stapled to the side of it -- people are going to be trying to suss out what his angle exactly

I've been traveling so forgive me for not posting this yesterday, but: That Signal clone app for archiving messages that Mike Waltz has been using, TeleMessage? It's unlicensed. Signal was unaware of its existence until they saw it in that Reuters photo. There's no known security vetting.

Before you read what is retweeted here, savor the now. Now is the before time. Before you knew this existed. And afterwards, you will be a different person. A sadder person. A person with the weight of knowledge on your soul. And you will know, deep down, that I chose to inflict this upon you.

LRP: ngl, duvets are great but i find them too warm to be very practical all but the coldest few weeks of the year compare to that time i tried a weighted blanket and it just felt heavy in a bizarrely dense way, like a dentist's office xray lead apron

When I was a kid, my mom had a duvet but my sister and I just had blankets & it felt like a fancy adult thing that was out of reach but I realized I'm literally 34 so I bought one and it feels like laying on top of a giant marshmallow. I think if everyone had a duvet, it could trigger world peace.

Completely agree about how @wired has distinguished itself, for a long time but especially this past year. Can't help but contrast what they have dug into with what was celebrated, eg, at WHCA dinner a week ago. Subscribe!

LRP: I struggle to get my head around the idea of somebody in a group of employees of that outfit calling somebody else a bootlicker, but I guess they are former employees...

LRP: the weirdness of them often selling their productions through third parties internationally is offset somewhat once you understand as a media company making choices about what to produce the vibes aren't consistently ok even when the US is not extruding a solid brick of international incident

It is amusing to think that the execs are sweating just a little at doing a show with a historic anti-human-rights advocate, even if it'll probably make a shitload of money.

I missed this a couple days ago: Via Substack, the State Department/Marco Rubio announced a zero tolerance policy for all noncitizens they're calling "Catch-And-Revoke." It appears to be that any law-breaking by any person on a visa, even if not a removable offense, is grounds for visa revocation.

LRP: the groundswell of support for solidarity is a mm deep, at the earliest opportunity these guys all want to do whatever eye-poke is most readily available and speedrun back to the status quo to all shore up their rep as off-brand right-wingers basically

LRP: this isn't really final, because a judicial recount is automatic if a candidate wins by less than 1/1000th of the votes cast (which is about 50-70 votes for most ridings) so this isn't final epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/205/301/...

!!! CBC News reporting that, upon validation, the riding of Terrebonne flipped from Liberal to the Bloc Québécois. That means Liberals actually have 168 seats (down one, meaning they need four opposition votes to get legislation through), and the Bloc has 23.

LRP x2: In many ways the "yalta 2" stuff can be considered just the geopolitics part of a 1984 speedrun, and that sort of dovetails with a look at the cabinet, when it comes to the executive departments component
