- Reposted by Jessica McKenzieThe CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

- Reposted by Jessica McKenzieI know everyone means well with their 'scoop this reporter up immediately' endorsement posts but christ — who's doing the scooping? What's left?

- a win is a win?? "The nation had 86.2 million cattle and calves as of Jan. 1, the USDA said in a biannual report, after a persistent drought drove ranchers to slash their herds. That was down 0.4% from a year earlier, when the herd also hit its lowest level since 1951."

- New @thebulletin.org: Why Patagonia burns every summer: climate change, shifting fire regimes, and policy failures. More than 45,000 hectares (111,197 acres) have already burned. In just a month, the fires scorched an area greater than the total area burned last summer.
- i have lots of feelings about working in journalism rn but feeling alone is not one of them, so that's good!
- find myself unexpectedly crying as i read posts about the post. i'd say i was irrationally upset but i think it's completely rational to be angry and sad about people hoarding power and money and pretending that intentional destruction is just a happy accident of the balance sheet.
- Reposted by Jessica McKenzieThe guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody
- so folks, do we think it was cheaper to kill gawker from the outside, or to kill the wapo from the inside? what gives a billionaire better bang for his buck

- Seeing lots of dunks on this regarding the 2A hypocrisy, the Jan 6 hypocrisy. And like ya haha what a hypocrite, but this is so exhausting...no die-hard, gun-toting Trump supporter is going to watch this and think he's talking about them. Cause he's not. The hypocrisy is the point

- convinced nobody is reading that bari weiss speech in full because then they'd be making fun of "SCOOPS OF IDEAS. SCOOPS OF EXPLANATIONS" more. no i will not give this a rest
- there is so much to unpack here. "It's about simultaneous revolutions in our viewers' careers, their children's schools, their homes, and their communities" sounds like trad culture war fare...no mention of anything of national or global significance??
