ontologically evil, but nice

Mamdani did not receive a similar boost following Adams’ departure. But his campaign pointed to campaign finance data showing the Democratic nominee has raised money from a similar number of donors on the Upper West and Upper East sides compared to Cuomo over the course of the race. Spokesperson Dora Pekec added that Mamdani has been making inroads into the Jewish community since his Democratic primary win.

Politico reports that Andrew Cuomo received a flood of donations after Eric Adams dropped out, while Zohran Mamdani didn't – without mentioning that Mamdani had already maxed out his fundraising and stopped taking donations weeks earlier! www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Generative AI was used to draft this story, based on information provided by federal charging documents. It was reviewed and edited by MassLive.com.

What the fuck?! MassLive is now using generative "AI" to create articles, which would be bad enough in any context but is especially egregious when publishing allegations that someone committed a crime.

MEMORANDUM OPINION By way of context, a federal prosecutor is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all. The obligation to govern impartially concerns, above all, the state’s exercise of coercive power—meaning its power to deprive its subjects of life, liberty, or property . . . As a representative of the state, a prosecutor’s exercise of coercive power must be impartial . . . [in] that prosecutorial power may not be exercised vindictively—meaning that the prosecutor may not punish a defendant for exercising a protected statutory or constitutional right. United States v. Zakhari, 85 F.4th 367, 384–85 (6th Cir. 2023) (Kethledge, J., concurring) (citations and quotations omitted). This context frames review of Defendant Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s (“Abrego”) motion to dismiss his indictment for vindictive and selective prosecution. (Doc. Nos. 104–05). The Government opposes the motion (Doc. No. 121), and Abrego has replied (Doc. No. 127). Abrego’s motion is not ripe for decision because he seeks discovery and an evidentiary hearing because there is some evidence of vindictiveness here. For the reasons that follow, the Court holds that the totality of events creates a sufficient evidentiary basis to conclude that there is a “realistic likelihood of vindictiveness” that entitles Abrego to discovery and requires an evidentiary hearing before the Court decides his motion. United States v. Andrews, 633 F.2d 449, 457 (6th Cir. 1980) (en banc), cert. denied, 450 U.S. 927 (1981).

BREAKING: Federal judge in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case finds that "there is a 'realistic likelihood of vindictiveness' that entitles Abrego to discovery" in response to his motion to dismiss the case for vindictive or selective prosecution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

A screenshot of a Twiter post by U.S. Senator John Fetterman. His profile photo and handle (@SenFettermanPA) are visible. The post reads: “Unchecked extreme rhetoric, like labels as Hitler or fascist, will foment more extreme outcomes. Political violence is always wrong—no exceptions. We must all turn the temperature down.” Below his post is an Axios headline that says: “Study: Left-wing terrorism climbs to 30-year high.” Next to the headline is a small chart titled “Left- and right-wing U.S. domestic terrorism attacks, annually 1994–2025.” The chart shows gray and (tiny) orange bars, with the orange labeled “left-wing.”

Study: Death by lightning reaches 50-year high

Ezra Klein: There's a Rick & Morty quote I really like.

Ezra Klein: It goes like this, "Why would a pop-tart want to live inside a toaster? That would be like the scariest place for them to live."

Ta-Nehisi Coates not saying anything

Ezra Klein: Because in the episode they go to a neighborhood where everyone is a pop-tart and they live in toaster-houses.

arrest 'em dawg

every single person claiming to yearn for this would kill themselves if they were subjected to the tyranny of the 56k modem for one hour

there are 39 hours of scripted programming in this season's broadcast TV lineup, & 20 of them are explicitly pro-law enforcement programs. More than half of scripted TV is still not enough for them.

I tell ya I got problems. I bought my wife a medbed and set it to cure all her troubles. When she woke up, it served me with divorce papers.

I face my mistakes

THE MEME IS REAL

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

I can't believe this. unlike a lot of writers online, he was unbelievably modest and kind. I was always excited to tell him how awesome a new piece of his was, just because I knew on some level he'd be surprised anyone enjoyed it at all. Infuriating he was struggling to find work.

It seems that Kaleb Horton has passed away. A devastating loss. One of the best writers of this generation. Kaleb was a friend for ten years and in all our conversations I was trying to convince him how good he was, something he seemed to know but also never fully believe. I am going to go cry now.

these Starbucks contras are such fucking demons. every Starbucks employee should be issued a sidearm.

What's going badly in the United States these days? Dummy 1: "I'm sick of being yelled at just because I keep suggesting stupid, dangerous things that the government should do to ruin people's lives." Dummy 2: "I agree: I should be able to suggest deporting someone's mom without getting in a screaming match." Dummy 3: "I don't have object permanence."

Dummy 1: "I voted for a giant military to end wars, not to constantly have new ones. Why would I want a huge military for more wars?" Dummy 2: "As an Idiot-American, I am always surprised and upset when I get exactly what I wanted. But because of my bad brain I never learn to stop forcing my wants on others. It's a vicious cycle." Dummy 3: "I traded my last cow for a handful of magic beans and the beans didn't do shit." Dummy 4: "Who said I have regrets? This is someone else's fault." Dummy 5: "Me am stupid."

When you think about where you went wrong voting for Donald Trump, what's the first word that comes to mind? Dummy 1: "Inability to count." Dummy 2: "Reckless." Dummy 3: "I'm drawing a blank." Dummy 4: "Hungry. Sorry, what was the question?"
