On Friday @emptywheel.bsky.social talked about how Andrew Paul Johnson attempted to silence the young boy he sexually molested by promising him a share of payout he expected from being a Jan6ers. Full story on @nicolesandler.bsky.social YT www.youtube.com/live/EyXEj2u... @thefarce.org

Here's Alan Dershowitz minimizing what the Jan6th insurrectionists did. "Hardly anybody killed people." @glennkirschner.bsky.social @libradunn1.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social

Today on @nicolesandler.bsky.social's show @emptywheel.bsky.social talked about Epstein & Lutnick & how Comer was helping him by not videotaping it. If Trump saw Lutnick LOOKING bad, he'd be out. It's the PERFORMANCE that Trump sees that counts. Clip cued up: youtu.be/XdvIt05-Ojs?...

I, like many Americans, had the belief that the US could win trade wars because we've exported so much grain & meat for so long that the rest of the world couldn't grow enough food to feed itself & they'd HAVE to give in our trade demands. But that's an outdated belief. @sarahtaber.bsky.social

Ali: Ashley, why are the women part of this? Ashley: [people] say with their full chest "Why didn't you leave sooner?" While simultaneously saying these are violent tyrants who are shooting people in the streets. That's exactly why you don't leave, because they make examples out of people.

What a joy to find this hand cranked music on a roll of paper! I don't remember the story behind it, but it is marked @elephant_killer & dated April 11, 2020.

Rubio: I don't know about the shoes. I mean he gave me some Florsheim shoes, they're actually pretty good. They fit fine. Narrator: They did not fit fine. When I saw this I instantly thought of you @salgentile.bsky.social I added photos for @emilyerotas.bsky.social to verify. #IfTheFlorsheimsFit

There's a Troll campaign on X to blame Warren & Buttigieg for #Spirit shutting down. They don't want to acknowledge it's Trump's war in Iran & blocking the Strait of Hormuz that's causing the price of jet fuel to spike. Funny clip: Trump thought Spirit wanted to merge with People's Express 1981-87.

The conflict across the Middle East is having a devastating impact on civilians, and pushing other crises further from view. My interview with BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg on why this is a moment for cooler heads.

Now Fox News is running with how Pam Bondi made promises of transparency that never surfaced and that maybe the reason she is out is to keep her from being deposed by the House later this month on her handling of the Epstein files. No mention of Trump and how she was following his orders.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social James Talarico is a SCIENCE DENIER! Says there's 6 BIOLOGICAL genders. This is so false, so laughable, so wrong, it false into the category of universal cosmic comedy! Name the other 4 James. So far we've seen a Penis, a Vagina. That's it. Where are the other 4 hiding?

It’s hard to remember, but Sid Bream was beloved in #Pittsburgh. A solid player, he did tons of fan outreach. OTD 5/10/91, he returned with the #Atlanta #Braves, pinch-hitting for Francisco Cabrera in the 9th vs Stan Belinda. The fans gave the ex- #Pirates star a standing ovation! #LetsGoBucs

The Spurs need to do more of this, if they are going to under the first action, re-screen immediately (this was a little slower) you'll get a better look.

Claude Opus 4.8 just dropped and people are split on whether it's a major upgrade or just incremental improvements. Agentic coding bumped up 5% with other benchmarks seeing modest gains. But the real story is Mythos dropping in weeks and apparently no system is safe from it.
