Oh no! At least it wasn’t quite as early here.

Too cloudy for the liner eclipse 😭

Okay, Billy. Time to go to bed.

It's taken some wrangling, but I think I can safely say I'll have roughly 3,400 words on Evolved Body Art publishing at Matter tomorrow.

What the fuck are you talking about

The "character" debuted a year ago has appeared in one (1) sketch that was all AI slop and couldn't even Crack a million views on YouTube in 8 months. This is the most artificial, forced marketing push I've ever seen and NBC is just happily gobbling it up.

There was that Epstein text exchange with Bannon where he said "Trump doesn't respect anyone who agrees to his demands" and never has that been more apparent than every newspaper/university/law firm getting their shit double-owned by the guy they bent over for in the first place.

Ultimate gambits are now 0/2 in staying alive

As my great-great Uncle Bill (my great-grandmother's younger brother), who fought in World War I and was a brigadier general in World War II (he supervised recruitment/supply efforts), once wrote in a letter:

"If we don't follow the rules, they won't either."

How Police Have Undermined the Promise of Body Cameras Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on what was sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability. Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage — even whe...

Here's story we did, laying it out:

Derek Chauvin had a body-cam not only when he killed George Floyd, but also when he knelt on necks of others, including a 14-year-old. The boy's mother begged, "“Please, please do not kill my son!”

Supervisors ignored it all

When I’m back on my bullshit.

As w other historically stigmatized groups, it takes about a generation for big media to move from "this group has rights, BUT" to "we need to quote a member of the group before we hit publish." That said, it's been a generation. Pushback helps. @theguardian.com got better!

What secrets does it hold!

My mind is still blown by this. Taking my lived experiences and occasional passive internal observations and throwing the aha moment in with just a handful of paragraphs.

(I have a great relationship with my parents but my dad was gone a lot as a trucker and my mom was disabled from a car accident years before I was born, that plus some stress from other relatives at a young age checks a lot of boxes)

I’m great at casual friends and acquaintances - but alwsys worry about being annoying or a burden and this read hits in a lot of ways.

Interesting 😬

Cuba Is Next Trump’s campaign to take out long-standing U.S. irritants looks back to the Caribbean.

As U.S. and Israeli missiles fell on Iran this weekend, just weeks after President Trump ordered a lightning strike that put Venezuela’s president in a New York City courtroom, Trump is already eyeing his next target: Cuba, @vmsalama reports.

A little blown away by Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. It includes a scene about 2/3 of the way of the movie where I laughed for 45 straight seconds while everyone else in the theatre was dead silent with their hands over their mouths. Ends with a lot of heart. Good movie.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

An inflatable tube man in the shape of corn. He has a tuft of hair and a cheerful smile. There are two signs that say “farmers market” next to him. An arm with a red hoodie sleeve is in the foreground of the photo, which is taken from inside a car.

Went to a farmer’s market yesterday. Bought some homemade Egyptian food (delicious btw) and some woodworking but *also* saw my first corn-shaped wacky waving inflatable tube man???

Trans Students Should Be Treated With Dignity, Not Outed by Their Schools | ACLU Children and adults have a constitutional right not to have intimate facts about their lives disclosed without their consent.

Forced school outing policies endanger transgender youth.

Ms. Wilkins, the daughter of a financial specialist in the aerospace industry (her mother) and a global consumer products executive for Gillette (her father), had lived in London and Switzerland, and for a time attended elementary school at Collège du Léman in Geneva. She is originally from the Boston suburb of Weymouth, but likes to emphasize her time living in Arkansas. "There are just some things the limousine liberal will never understand from the coasts," she recently wrote.
