One of the last things Biden did in office was meet with Edmundo González to meddle in the Venezuelan elections.

Think we can call that setting up a play.
Gosh if only we had a liberal in office last year who did not in fact bomb Venezuela. 🙄

An administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets.

Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.
BREAKING: Venezuela’s government has accused the US of launching attacks on civilian and military installations across several states, rejecting what it described as a "military aggression," according to an official statement.

yet again remembering senator chris murphy admitting right in public on twitter that we tried to coup venezuela in trump's first term and he was talking about this not to condemn it but to bemoan how trump bungled the job and embarrassed the US

Simple as

Everyone in DoD who participated in planning and executing this needs to face charges

Yes I know the scope/scale of what I'm saying; either laws mean things or they don't
Disgusting violation of basic sovereignty and I hope everyone who hedges even one bit on this has their careers ruined in the end

Once again, the people responsible for Polymarket and everything like it should be put to death.
This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

Double check your sources and call out misinformation! The best sources are:

- DMs from trusted local contacts
- on the ground posts from people proven to be in Venezuela
- local media
- international press with on the ground reporting
Reminder that misinformation and disinformation are going to be worse than normal and to check sources, and be cautious with what you're sharing.
I keep seeing people saying Reuters reported troops on the group but no actual reporting from Reuters that's not actually helpful at all

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It feels like certain types of guys are unable to take in information in solitude. It has to be a conversation, explanations tailored to their thought patterns, with someone they perceive as servile to them. They can’t read an email: someone has to tell them what it says, even if it’s incorrect.

If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

huh I didn't realize basically all the main hobbits were actually that related - Bilbo adopted Frodo but Frodo was already his second cousin, Pippin and Merry are cousins, and then Frodo is their cousin once removed

It's literally always acoustic foam + pyrotechnics in a single exit basement club, I don't even need to read the articles. Dipshit owners killing people with their own idiot negligence
BBC News non-stop reporting on the fire at the Swiss nightclub like “nobody knows what started the fire” while also showing footage of the inside of the club where robots are carrying around bottles of champagne shooting fireworks out of the top. I’m not a forensic investigator but I have a theory

We are reading Tolkien for a year! Hope we don't learn anything too distressing about what happens when art and technology are rendered synonymous in the interests of power and subjugation
With a knock on your door, a kindly wizard invites you to join us on Shelved By Genre's LORD OF THE YEAR, in which we will consider the popular but contested works of JRR Tolkien, kicking things off with a long rumination upon the first four chapters of THE HOBBIT: rangedtouch.com/2026/01/02/t...

To be clear, these weren’t ticket sales because Netflix set up the contracts of the actors so they wouldn’t have to pay them for theater screenings. We can tiptoe around the wording however you want, but this was the studio continuing to profit off a bunch of former child stars with predatory terms.

This was one of the weird episodes where it's suddenly for and about like 8 year olds for some reason. That's a kid who turned into a clam thing bc he was too greedy.

if you haven't read jezebel's 2018 coverage of the listserv where 400+ "left-of-center" transphobic "journalists" methodically orchestrated the current moment, it's a good companion to the TNN interview: www.jezebel.com/private-mess...
