Judge: Mr. O'Neil take it away. David O'Neil of Debevoise: I have a lot to say but I'll be brief. It is important that the public know that the Government is unilaterally withdrawing these subpoenas. After this bad faith, I do not expect new subpoenas

This is so cool. Imagine being a very young guitarist and getting to play one of the most iconic acoustic guitar intros in rock history for Nancy Wilson — the woman who wrote it, and one of the greatest living rock guitarists. (IG: Sierra Levesque)
Elon Musk trying to sink a Christopher Nolan movie was honestly the funniest and dumbest course of action he could have taken. He’s one of the most popular filmmakers alive and now it proves Elon and his fanboys have no real cultural impact outside of X

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

NATO is the most important military alliance in the totality of human history. Putin's top objective has been to smash it. Trump is his agent in this process.
BREAKING: Alligator Alcatraz has officially closed. A lot of outlets won’t report on this, but the Miccosukee Tribe played a key role in the fight.
There’s nothing in the MOU that mandates how Iran spends any of the $30 billion they are getting. They can do whatever they want with it, which the US agreed to. But Trump and Vance said they will probably use it to buy food from US farmers. And some people believe that.
A guy who called in to the radio show I'm hosting this summer brought up an article I wrote 12 years ago about this now-defunct cafe this morning. I happened to be in there the time he came in, and he said he never forgot my enthusiasm for the place. Does that count?

I think we’ve found the worst non-famous CEO. This asshole not only lets ICE use his company as a kidnapmobile, but also wants taxpayers in small municipalities to hand him giant buckets of money? Yeah, that’s a “fuck off, never fly Avelo” for me. Elon shit. viewfromthewing.com/avelo-airlin...

Saw a clip of that guy from Staind saying that Bruce Springsteen duped us with Born in the USA because it’s actually not patriotic but I don’t think it’s really duping people to ask them to listen to more than four words of a song
First day on the job and you want respect? Go right up to the most recognizable and respected guy in the newsroom and have him yell at you until you cry. Then it's time to send him a weepy email telling him how disappointed you were that he did all that. Shouldn't have any trouble after that.

John Annese@johnannese.bsky.social · 2mo agoNow that CBS has killed 60 Minutes and Colbert’s show, they’ll have more time for groundbreaking TV like Sheriff Country, Fire Country, Marshals, CIA, FBI, Boston Blue, Police Country, Fire Sheriffs and Marshal Police.
What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."
