WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

I know there's some indie media folks on here that might be curious to know this: Our massive September post that did 600,000 views net us about 1,600 email signups and 76 paid conversions. Good, sure, but further proof that chasing viral traffic is just not a sustainable business model for us
This year was a big one for Garbage Day. We published our most-read post ever in September, which racked up around 600,000 total views. Here's how that happened.

I'm not sure if the famous flying Ottoman scholar Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi was actually as fabulous as this painting by Adem Başpınar makes him look, but legend has it that he did manage to fly over the Bosporus strait in 1632.
Whereupon he was sent into exile for being "scary."

The lesson of the last election is that voters hate inflation (higher prices than 4 years ago, not just price increases) more than anything else. But that's boring and my mother is not a journalist.

Here is a true story.
During Trump’s first term, The Post got a tip that his doctor — the guy with the long hair who signed that first “healthiest guy ever” letter — wanted to spill the beans. He lived in Westchester, up near where I lived at the time. So I was tasked with talking to him. 1/

I've always thought they should put an hourly rehearsal space inside the Nashville airport. I mean, if we're brainstorming here
Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.

It’s never been more important to be able to figure out who your actual allies are instead of the people who can make content you’re willing to hit the like button on. Your enemies will try to present themselves as your friends and tell you your friends are your enemies.
Nick Fuentes has been working overtime to sanitize his image and present himself as a uniter of the left and right. Very clearly using language often associated with the left.
This is part of a larger effort by the anti-Zionist antisemitic far right to recruit people on the left.
