It's back and bigger (and longer) than ever. Simon's Peculiar Portions returns this Friday, with new specials monthly!

Transparency!

Senator, welcome to Bluesky. Can you explain why you're sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 230, which would effectively make it impossible for Bluesky to do what it's doing today, creating this kind of space? Thanks. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

Russia has accumulated unsustainable personnel and vehicle losses in the last three years since Russia's full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022. ⬇️(1/3)

That's gotta be a new record: TWELVE streams this week on the schedule, we've nearly run out of space! And loads of new stuff too—what'll you be tuning in to? 👇

And fully half of it is a humiliating error where they mistake the value of a contract by 1000x confusing 8 million with 8 BILLION

who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE who is the administrator of DOGE WHO IS THE ADMINISTRATOR OF DOGE???????

This cannot be constitutional. The idea that the American Bar Association cannot enjoy the participation of federal officials in events but the Federalist Society can is absurd.

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

It must be in the Bsky TOS that every funny poster must repost no less than 75 funny posts by others in a row. I’m not complaining though! This way I can see all funniness on the entire platform by following like 2 ppl

Come on, Senator. Push through. That’s a Blackwater guy. He’s not going to shoot you; you’re not brown.

I'm keeping a running list of disappearing federal data in the 🧵 below. If there are others I missed let me know. crampell[at]washpost[dot]com or Signal username crampell.13

Honestly, if you're in my mentions trying to argue that Elon did what he did with Twitter on purpose to get to this moment, I'm going to block you. That's conspiracy theory bullshit. There was no master plan to get here. He stumbled his way into power.

Holy shit. Remember that Patrick Soon-Shiong had demanded that all op-ed pieces be run by him first, but to then change the argument of the piece entirely... I feel sorry for the journalists who work there

I think it already is. But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made. We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

at this point i believe that the dudes who come for the menswear guy are just sleeper agents whose entire lives have been orchestrated to give him dunk material

WTF "graduated from high school in 2024, according to a mirrored copy of an online résumé and his high school’s student magazine; he lists jobs as a camp counselor and a bicycle mechanic among his professional experiences, as well as a summer role at Neuralink..."

Cool, cool. Federal gov't seems to be functioning just great.

Everything is so damn stupid.

We're @yogscast.com on here now, just to let you know! 📣

Another satisfied subscriber of recall emails.

The Bill’s face off against the Kansas City Chiefs with a chance to go to their first Super Bowl in 30 years. But at this Penfield Don’s Original, they are less excited about defensive linemen sacking Patrick Mahomes than they are about ICE lawmen dragging immigrants from their homes.

buddy that was the point

#HegsethPolicies With end of DEI, woman only promoted if they meet same rigorous requirements as men and also have a bangin’ rack

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

many apologies - for at least a decade, i've been telling customers that south bloomsbury was the "home of the ham sandwich". having spoken to two historians i now learn that historical evidence for this is thin on the ground putting it mildly. i still think south bloomsbury is well worth visiting

Extremely overdetermined that I am not a senator or rep, but if I were and this were the policies and nominees the executive branch were trying to ram through Congress, I would object to every unanimous consent request, no matter how minor, and force it to a standstill with endless rollcall votes.

"Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience."

Instagram and Facebook have recently blurred, blocked or removed posts from two abortion pill providers. Instagram also suspended the accounts of several abortion pill providers and hid the providers from appearing in search and recommendations. nyti.ms/4h3PF1x

So, TikTok is supposedly a national security threat from China, but it seems odd that there's been almost no mainstream press coverage of Trump dismantling the board investigating the Salt Typhoon hack which is an ACTUAL PROVEN hack from China & incredibly damaging. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/23/t...

Seems bad.

It's time for a new script with two new scary demon roles! Our next episode of Blood on the Clocktower in Minecraft drops this Friday at 6 pm GMT 🩸

the fact that markey voted for the ban is what makes this a perfect bluesky post

I wrote a longer thing about how ridiculous the NY Post is for calling fact checking "censorship," and how the NY Post is just as guilty of exactly what it's angry about regarding fact checkers. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/13/n...

I am pretty tired of the way all my hard work making fun little Internet posts keeps putting power into the hands of dickholes.

I think Mark Zuckerberg might be a kinda uncool dude…

Seems like a good time to point out that I recently wrote an oped for MSNBC about how Brendan Carr's threats to Disney appear way worse than any of the shit people claimed about the Twitter files. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Apparently Zuck's public claims of bringing free speech back doesn't apply to his employees.

Shameless pandering
