OK, so Musk was planning to go to Epstein's island, but it's not like he went there with the intent to go to a wild party or something, it was probably just some business. Excuse me, an email just came in.

New from 404 Media: here is the user guide for ELITE, the tool Palantir made for ICE. A map shows people on a map; ICE clicks them, brings up their dossier. ICE uses to find which neighborhoods to target. We obtained it, you can now read the document for yourself: www.404media.co/here-is-the-...

Hackman would have turned 96 today. He is missed — but it’s always good to watch him grab racists by the balls.

this was such a fun conversation, thank you @letsgomathias.bsky.social!
i’ll admit that i sometimes skip interview episodes of shows i listen to, but i think you’ll all get a kick out of this.
Molly interviews @letsgomathias.bsky.social about his new book, To Catch a Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right. It's a rollicking tale of infiltrating nazi groups and exposing their private communications to dox them en masse.

the biggest concern everyone has right now is that democrats will rally around a set of weak reforms. but another thing to watch is them abolishing ICE in name only - shuffling the agency around and renaming it while keeping the personnel and culture in place.

Good news!

I showed up for an interview at Bigname Company today and they ushered me right to the CEO--or should I say, CEOs.

That's right: It was the two kids that shoveled my driveway!

Since the invention of the film, there have been five films rated the most passionate, the most pure.

This one left them all behind.

The end.

Though not classified, the documents were marked “for official use only” — indicating they were sensitive and not for public release. Their upload set off automated alerts designed to prevent disclosure of government materials, the outlet said.
