What does Singal even think he's saying here?

Para 1: It is naive to trust experts

Para 2: It's a real problem that American's don't trust experts

This is just a hot dog suit meme. What terrible writing. And editing. The editor should have sent this back to him and told him this didn't make sense

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

STARS & STRIPES: “Israeli forces on Wednesday killed at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza, including two 13yo boys, 3 journalists and a woman— one of the war-battered enclave’s deadliest days since the ceasefire…”

Not only has Rand Paul increased this cost by a factor of 10,000, there was actually useful science behind the research as I explained in 2021.

I’m at a lunch for landlords (yknow, for research) and the speaker is predicting that rents in Portland will start heading up again in 2026 “as new supply remains constrained”

To the people who do this for a living, cause and effect couldn’t be clearer

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Especially in this age of nightmarish transit cuts wouldn’t it be nice if we made it possible for more neighbors with average incomes to live in the neighborhoods that still have service/have some of the best biking in the country??

WT fucking Fuck

I can think of a particularly good one!

Elon Musk Could 'Drink Piss Better Than Any Human in History,' Grok Says Grok has been reprogrammed to say Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc.

it's enjoyable. i'm enjoying it

I actually think the instincts of Liberals have blunted the effect of all the Epstein stuff, because what appears to be true is too insane and conspiratorial for them to believe. It feels dumb and low class to believe the president was being blackmailed over underage rapes.

Single smartest thing I think blue states could do is go on a MASSIVE home-building spree, bring down rents, and precipitate a massive multi-racial Second Great Migration.

Provide shelter for the sane and strip the lunatic states of their power in the House.

Yiddish, English and transliterated English phrasebook for new immigrants. Phrases include "my trade is cloak-making", "what are the dues?" "The fee is very small" and "union is power".

I've always loved this little phrasebook for new (Jewish) immigrants to New York. It's got Yiddish instructions on joining a union! (The right-most column is English transliterated into Yiddish).

Consider how few anecdotes it took for the media to declare a Free Speech on Campus crisis.

Every day we get more evidence that the Republican Party is teeming with white supremacists yet elite institutions refuse to frame this as a crisis that needs the nation’s attention.

"You snouvre you louvre", is that a thing

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

By a 2-1 opinion, the Ninth Circuit just held that the president can federalize the National Guard forces and deploy them when protesters shine flashlights in the eyes of ICE officers. It’s one of the most dangerous and legally flawed court decisions I’ve seen this year. 1/23

This weekend, on October 18, working people across the country are coming together to stand up to greed and abuse of power. We WILL NOT be silenced, divided, or ruled by the few.

Allium canadense - Wikipedia

Apparently there were alliums native to North America, so there were some wild onions to eat with the peppers. (But your point stands; you certainly couldn't have chili lime flavors.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allium_...

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Being an elected official in the United States is such a garbage job that only the worst people in the country want it. The best ones are gigantic ego maniacs, but the majority are just kinda average people who can't figure out how to gain notoriety doing anything else. It's a huge problem!
