Many people think of Nazi concentration camps as purpose-built institutions. But many of the concentration and internment camps in Germany and occupied countries were repurposed buildings: asylums, barracks, farm complexes, even hotels.

[Ilya Rozanov voice] SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKING VOLF
There’s a wolf in LA for the first time in 100 years. A collared gray wolf entered the mountains of north Los Angeles County yesterday. Known as “BEY03F” she traveled hundreds of miles from her pack in Plumas County crossing highways, mountains, creeks and valleys.

A wolf has come to Los Angeles County for the first time in more than a century
Around 6 a.m. Saturday, the 3-year-old female arrived in the mountains north of Santa Clarita, as tracked by a GPS collar.

This woman is doing a really cool series this month on lost Black American recipes for Black History Month. I watched one earlier and immediately subscribed. Very cool stuff, very well presented with historical context.

i am pretty much forever in the "ilia malinin is a homophobic little shit and a douchebag" camp, but he does have some totally wild talent
February 9, 2026 at 2:40 PM
ok so

i need the news to stop talking about the pats like this

"It was a humbling end for a team that seemed poised to recapture a little of the magic of the Patriots' run of six championships over two decades."

ON WHAT PLANET WAS THIS SEASON NOT MAGIC???

It took until 12 minutes before the end of the news for @wcvb5.bsky.social to actually cover the halftime show, which they gave 25 seconds to.

And then they went right into Trump's stupid post about it. 16 seconds.

TPUSA got 11 seconds; mentioning it was streamed online. No mention of view count.

I understand that it's not a minor surgery and I know my situation is WAY better than it used to be on account of the Mirena but every time I have these nights where I'm up in searing fucking pain I start thinking about a hysterectomy again.

My body is being a little bit of a jerk and consequently I am up at 2 AM, so I will say, some people don't fucking live in the middle of a city and have a plethora of reasons that they might want to be able to have cameras in and around their home!
Nope, no, I am not doing the "argue with someone who thinks all security cameras are bad" thing, no, it is bedtime, I am deleting that and going to sleep. N O P E.

My takeaways from Bad Bunny nobody asked for

1. the inclusion of afro-Latinidad
2. the use of kids AS kids. they weren't doing much but vibing (said positively).
3. I think there are a lot of easter eggs that require repeat viewing
4. everyone looked like they were having so much fun

Brutal fuckin game. Boring most of the way, then once it got exciting it meant the Pats had no chance. Looked okay for a couple minutes there but then right back to hell.

It's okay guys!!! Nobody thought you were even gonna get here this year!
