As a baseball fan, to me the best thing about the Superbowl is that it's the end of the football season, so now we turn our attention to spring training, will we or nil we.

I believe that this 👇 is true, but is it something to brag about? But note: I'm not the 'target audience' for superbowl halftime shows. I don't think I've watched an entire halftime show, ever, but if I have, it was before 1990.

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

Portuguese American Club MV The PA Club is your welcoming, community-focused gathering place, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere. From enjoying a game of pool, live music, and good food from Mo's Lunch, to sharing stories w...

Thought about watching the game at the P.A. Club, but that would mean taxis, so nah. Could take bus to the Wharf in Edgartown, but $8/beer adds up, plus it's wicked cold out, forget it. Discovered a subscription to NBC online I'd forgotten about. Game on. Beer is cheaper at home & I can mute ads.

The republican party should cease to exist based on what has happened this year. It may just be killing itself in a sorta death cult koolaide drinking years long bout of psychosis. If so, good riddance.

If someone in a crowd where you were yelled out “pedophile protector,” would you automatically assume they were talking to you? Because I sure wouldn’t. I’d be looking around for who they meant.

Haha this got set loose around the net and that's wonderful

I clearly remember when I was about 6 years old, sitting in the sun with my back against the wall of the barn, waiting for the mailman to arrive with my Weekly Reader. Heroin. Age 4, learned to read. Age 20, got laid (finally!). Between those years some other stuff happened, I guess.

I SO remember reading those Dick & Jane books. The ecstasy of suddenly being able to read! Cat in the Hat soon after. I read voraciously in early elementary school but recall nothing specific 'til Mad Magazine in 3rd grade & Orwell's Animal Farm in 4th (fucked me up good; still dealing with it). 1/2

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

The reason @RepJamesComer doesn’t want the hearing public is because the Clintons can probably name people.

The reason Donald Trump said that he “always really liked Bill Clinton” is because the Clintons can probably name people.

Get it yet?

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Companies reap $22bn from Trump’s immigration crackdown Palantir and Deloitte among beneficiaries of spending by government agencies

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.

Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

Just to clarify; I grew up in the Twin Cities so I can tell you with certainty that those are not MPD officers. Those are either State Troopers or Hennepin County Sheriffs. You can tell by the maroon pants. MPD wear blue uniforms.
Not to defend the MPD who were for years the most dangerous gang.

i don’t think we should have to rely on our ability to get a small child’s photo to get enough internet attention so that their representative can successfully physically extract them from the concentration camp for children

AFAIK, these are NOT Minneapolis cops. Stills from SC video:
Left:
Sheriff's deputy silver star
Minnesota Conservation Officers, high-viz vest & reddish shoulder patch.
One patch = idk

Right:
MN State Trooper (on front)

Olympics announcer just said "we're not Yoda, we can't predict the future" and I could feel a million nerds cry out in pain.

Note that he now says he only saw the beginning of the clip, not the part with the Obamas. Apparently the staffer has disappeared into the mists of imagination from whence he came.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

In a Feb. 3 letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Wicker wrote that the facility should be used for economic development instead, and expressed concerns about the strain housing 8,500 detainees in a town of around 1,300 would have on local infrastructure.

this is a concern for many of the towns where ICE is buying up property for concentration camps! they’re small rural or suburban communities that fundamentally cannot sustain them

So like, when do we start investigating everyone on the list? Subpoenaing their emails and financial records and stuff? What are they doing giving them time to destroy what they can? They put way more energy into tracking down Luigi Mangione.

Will any of the reporters who credulously peddled the "rogue staffer" story issue retractions or burn their anonymous sources? Don't print lies in the newspaper
