- To all our international friends attending the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Milan tomorrow: Please loudly boo JD Vance and his delegation. Make him feel like shit. We encourage it. We wish we could be there to boo him, too. Signed, the American people

- Trump at Natl Prayer Breakfast: "Between us & them, we have 68% of world's oil. I know that doesn't mean too much to people of great religion. I was just talking to great leader from El Salvador & he said, 'Man that was some attack! I've never seen anything like that.' That was a hell of an attack"
- there isn’t a better Books desk in the country than the one at the Washington Post. I’m not really sure there’s anything else to say
- It’s bleak out there
- We need to find a way to tell the youths about alt-weeklies so they restart them
- Wow, should probably fire the publisher responsible for missing out on the opportunities.
- “How a major national newspaper will carry on without someone on staff to summarize the plots of midlist literary novels is beyond me.” @roncharles.bsky.social faces the post-Post world:
- My heart breaks for the editors, reporters, and staff at The Washington Post who try to serve the public with integrity and don't deserve this. And also: many of us saw this coming from a mile away. Jeff Bezos has destroyed this once great American institution.
- After a lengthy appeals process and productive discussion with the Blue Sky safety team I will no loinger be sending George Thorogood lyrics to beautiful women on here via DM. Thank you all

- Colbert just stated his dream interview before the Late Show ends, is Pope Leo. I can't help but imagine how quickly he would be detained and deported by ICE
- Shutting down (the stellar) books coverage at WaPo is a real telling move when your owner is literally Jeff Bezos
- Awful day for journalism. And ominous day for democracy.
- I've been through some shitty times in my 20 years as a journalist but today just might take the shit cake
- a funny thing about this movie is that it was the beginning of a real sea change in the kind of roles tommy lee jones was able to get. prior to the fugitive, he often played the wild card in a cast — often someone unstable or untrustworthy or the like.

- I don't know what it is about idiots who buy newspapers without understanding why they exist or what their business is, but I think gutting books coverage is some kind of canary in the coalmine. These jackasses don't read books, so they assume no one else does either.
- Jeffrey Epstein: "I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body."
- Just spitballin’ here: Russia?
- Who's envious of the socks I got for Xmas?
- The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

- Ellison: "The real problem with the case is not that the judge didn't understand the gravity or facts. The problem is there is no legal precedent for this. We've never seen a moment in American history where through force of arms, an administration was trying to bully a state into submission."

- GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.” #EpsteinFiles
- “Before I thank God, I wanna say: ICE out. We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are human, and we are Americans.” — Bad Bunny

- Troublemaker is my middle name.
- Tomorrow, Mike Johnson's majority in the House will be down to one vote, which means, in my humble opinion, that Rep. Thomas Massie has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

- I think they call this a side quest
- CHICAGOANS!!!! Voting is open for the annual snowplow naming contest. And “Abolish Ice” is one of the options. You know what to do (vote): chicagoshovels.org

- It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.
- It's been fun seeing The Consultants lose their mind about how they don't get this ad, which is the coolest shit she's done yet. (Also, yes, that's Matt Mercer, who I've come to learn since this ad dropped is more famous than Michael Jordan.)
- The director of Melania movie
- I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.
- So now that we have this huge Epstein file dump, does that mean that we’re going to be bombing Iran this weekend?
- If this is the same Peter Attia MD who was just revealed as one of Bari Weiss's big new additions to CBS News, he can just tell the stories about the "outrageous" life Jeffrey Epstein led on the Evening News. Think of the ratings!

- Pro tip for anyone looking to evade law enforcement this weekend: if you need a quick place to hide, just run into any theater showing Melania. No one will find you there.
- ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.” And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.
