sentient pile of yarn 🍉 🧶

This certainly makes it harder to have an extensive online portfolio if you’re — oh, I don’t know — frantically job hunting.

A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail. The 61-year-old Tennessee man plans to sue after authorities dropped charges over a political Facebook post. Free-speech advocates say it’s a symptom of a wider crackdown.

It's insane that this even needs to be said.

“A free country does not dispatch police in the dead of night to pull people from their homes because a sheriff objects to their social media posts,” @adamsteinbaugh.bsky.social speaking to @willoremus.com.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.”

If you go to the website for Trump’s interagency DC Task Force—the personal Trump army designed to facilitate a *successful* January 6-style self-coup in 2029—this is its logo, I shit you not:

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

At least mercdawg got us on the board #Devils

It’s worth considering how an Andrew Cuomo mayoralty would objectively be a disaster and everybody knows it—especially his backers. But they don’t give a shit about the day after, only thwarting the rise of any potential alternative. A striking demonstration of the nihilism of the political centre.

One of the Qs is: "The indictment alleges that you and others 'surrounded a federal officer's vehicle, banged on its hood and windows, etched PIG on the side, and impeded movement.' Did you etch the word PIG on the side of an officer's car?"

By no means should someone facing trial answer that.

Never do an interview with Tara Palmeri.

not sure even the devils tonight can lift my spirits lol

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

Got pulled into meetings then fell asleep (lol) but yeah, crickets. Nothing out of the ordinary in the area from my colleagues.

Gonna poke some of my colleagues in the office today (I’m home today) because our bldg is a couple blocks from city hall but we haven’t gotten any alerts from our security folks who are usually over protective fwiw lol

the publication of posthumous work without the expressed & explicit consent of the author is wrong, and many great works of literature are none of our business; the "well, we don't really know what they wanted" gymnastics people do in order to publish work authors sought to destroy is also wrong.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

Please look at how many of these No Kings protests happened in Texas (and not just the big cities!). Back in June there were just over 60. This grew so much.

George Santos, o famoso mentiroso... 🤥🙄

If you were one of the millions of people at No Kings who has a subscription to the NYT that diminishes your number to thousands. Now would be a good time to cancel your subscription

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Yesterday's No Kings protests were apparently the largest since the first Earth Day in 1970

The NYT covered that story with a six column headline across the top of the paper and two full pages inside

Today, two small pics below the fold and a story on page A23

They constantly let America down

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
