Glad I am not the only one who thinks about all this. More plot holes than Swiss cheese.

Yes, R people are lovely and it feels like a real community.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

oh yeah, a real keyboard makes a huge difference. Game changer from when I was using a touch screen.

I'm so behind! I also keep changing what computer I do them on so I accidentally end up doing the same one twice. 😂

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers.

If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of:

The NYTimes often doesn't quote Trump at all, instead reframing his words with a summary falsely suggesting coherent thought, in contrast to the gibberish he actually said. They also don't mention how he routinely mumbles and slurs even prepared remarks, like here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Zsd...

‘Astounding’: Chris Hayes stunned Bondi still has DOJ job  YouTube video by MS NOW

WATCH: “In any remotely sane political climate she would be impeached, fired, or just have the good sense to resign in disgrace,” says Chris Hayes on Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Just go during the game: stores are empty!

If only computers had built in clocks in order to tell time using some sort of deterministic machine-readable format.

But alas, the only way to know whether it's daytime is to pay nearly a dollar every 30 minutes to ask a fancy autocomplete bot.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Release the Hobbes Cut.

Whenever I tell anyone my name at a store I instantly spell it: “Huerta, H-U-E-R-T-A”

There’s a deep rot to the core of this administration and Stephen Miller is one of the most dangerous people in the country right now.

Noem’s got to go, but so does he.

It really is the worst storm, it change to sleet here before anyone even woke up. So far, no freezing rain at least. 🤞

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Right? There is so much conflicting advice on when to shovel / when to put down salt.

Everything Stephen Miller and DHS say should be presumed to be a lie, without exception.

1) Doesn’t say he was wielding it, just that he had it.
2) Doesn’t match the video anyway.
3) DHS has lied in exactly this way after shooting someone before.

Reviving The Specter Of Bond Vigilantes The scare story is true this time. Democrats should use it to warn Americans—even to oust Trump—BEFORE he wrecks the country. But they'd have to stop being so scared.

Trump doesn’t always chicken out. But he does chicken out if and when the bond market creaks. This is perilous. It’s also something Democrats can and should exploit. And, in the final analysis, a flight to safety from the US might be the least worst way for America’s experiment with fascism to end.

I think I have only seen eXistenz.

‘I’m Witnessing a Lot of Emptiness’: How ICE Uprooted Normal Life in Minneapolis WIRED talks to a postal worker, a teacher, two US citizens detained by federal agents, and six more Minnesota residents about life in an occupied American city.

We asked 10 Minnesota residents to tell us about life under ICE occupation.

Read their stories, and put yourself in their shoes. We may all find ourselves experiencing what they are, whatever the city or personal circumstance, before too long.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Agreed, it feels like solar eclipse totality: pictures are nice but you gotta be there.
