My sweaty internal emails about how I am not Enron are raising questions already answered by my sweaty internal emails about how I'm not Enron.

I finished Andor then rewatched Rogue One and marveled that they were able to take a very shallowly and lazily written movie and create a truly banger prequel series for it.

I do appreciate that they've completely dropped the pretense.

Rep. Salazar on Venezuela: "We're about to go in ... we need to go in ... Venezuela for the American oil companies will be a field day"

It Turns Out Lindsey Halligan Was a Fake Prosecutor All Along This fight is not over.

Worth reiterating that what Trump tried to pull off with Halligan would, if successful, neutralize the Constitution’s appointments clause and allow him to install an endless series of insane and unqualified prosecutors without a single Senate vote. slate.com/news-and-pol...

White House Declares All of Trump’s Orders to Military Are Legal The Trump administration is twisting U.S. military code to take revenge against Democrats who reminded troops to follow the law.

Karoline Leavitt says “all orders” from President Trump are “lawful orders,” and troops have no right to question him.

Because of course she does.🙄

The 1970/80s was the era of Jim Davidson doing "chalky" on tv and the Black and White Minstrels. A different time... yes Nigel but here's the thing...

If fellow pupils remember you being racist at school in that clinate then you were being REALLY racist because the standards were rock bottom.

so it’s a yes then. turns out the man we’ve all seen be a racist for the last 15 years, and lead several different versions of a party full of racists, is in fact a racist

Another says you did teach the younger members of the CCF the infamous ‘Gas ’em all’ song, or at least led the singing of it on CCF coaches to training areas,”

Did you do that?

This is a lesson on how not to ask questions
Don’t ask him if he said racist things

Say “ This is just one example of what fellow school pupils say you said (to a Jewish pupil) : “Hitler was right” “Gas them” making hissing noises

Did you say that?
Did you make hissing noises?

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

It was years ago.

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

Not in a hurtful way.

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

Not with intent.

Did you ever racially abuse fellow pupils?

Not genuine abuse.

they were "controversial" for murdering palestinians at their food distribution sites.

This article hides "they murdered HUNDREDS of would-be aid recipients for no reason" four paragraphs in.

The opening paragraph saying simply "Palestinians said [the org] endangered the lives of civilians as they tried to get food" is an outright lie, since the killings are a matter of record.

Hey what did they do that was controversial? Was it gunning down Palestinians looking for aid?

Have we learned nothing in the last half a century?

👀 Alex Vitale is a sociologist who wrote a very good book called The End of Policing.

Key context; this was not filed in the case in front of Judge Xinis in Maryland, this was filed in his criminal case in Tennessee, where they're saying that the new revelations that the admin lied about Costa Rica are yet another sign of a vindictive prosecution.

Google’s “people also ask” section. The second entry is Why is rice Roni called the San Francisco tree?

google showed me this two months ago and it’s forever changed the lexicon of our household. we can’t stop talking about the San Francisco tree

"Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia respectfully submits this supplemental notice to provide the Court with additional facts relevant to his motion to dismiss for vindictive and selective prosecution. Recent developments in Mr. Abrego’s habeas case before Judge Xinis, concerning the government’s misrepresentations about whether Costa Rica would accept Mr. Abrego upon his removal, make crystal clear that the government is willing to mislead the courts and defy court orders intended to shed light on its conduct, all in service of punishing Mr. Abrego. This provides further proof—if any were needed—of the government’s vindictiveness toward Mr. Abrego and underscores the need for discovery into the motivations of the high-level officials who initiated this prosecution and are ultimately responsible for the government’s misrepresentations regarding Mr. Abrego’s third-country removal."

Kilmar Abrego Garcia's lawyers inform a federal judge about the Washington Post's bombshell: The government's claim that Costa Rica will no longer accept Abrego has been exposed as a lie.

More evidence—"if any were needed"—of vindictive prosecution.

Remember, if someone's first social media interaction with you is rude, it will never improve from there. The nuclear block here is great, the blockee will disappear from your replies, your sight, everything. Use it liberally.

Too late. Marco Rubio already spilled the truth. The so called peace plan was Russia’s wish list, not something the US drafted. He’s trying to walk it back but the damage is done.

He’s scrambling.

The leaves are changing and so is City Hall.
