We're in the middle of a civil war where municipal police and federal police are shooting each other and you want use to watch some stupid game like we're in the Colosseum during the fall of Rome. Fuck your football game, release the Epstein files

CW: Praise for an AI tool

Consensus (consensus.ai) is an incredible tool for reproters who are looking to find academic subject matter experts. You just type in what you want to find out about and it delivers a bunch of papers in a way that makes it simple to copy email addresses (no affiliation)

I just watched a video of an ICE agent trying to find a costumed frog's rear air hole to stick pepper spray in it, and, like, why are we paying people to do this

Tesla releases ‘more affordable’ Model 3/Y that cost $2k+ more than last week

Tesla’s new ‘more affordable’ models have been released, and they’re stripped-down versions of the Model 3 and Model Y with many missing features.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
