i did not adequately appreciate that the extreme concentration of wealth would create a supra-class and that the worst people within that class would come to set its norms.

You can read the news and its sober people just straight up saying, “oh yeah the president of the United States is probably going to steal that oil money and we all kind of know it.” And apparently that’s just how it is now.

I have spent fifty years rolling my eyes at conspiracy theories where all the elite rich people are in a secret evil gang, and thrillers where everyone remotely important has the same Dark Secret, and now sodding look.

ICE Is Circling Minnesota Schools, Looking For Children to Take Liam Ramos, 5, isn’t the only child in detention. Teachers and parents describe kids being hunted by federal agents.

NEW: School hallways are silent. Grandparents patrol outside in shifts. Two more kids taken from Liam Ramos' school.

Trump isn't deescalating ICE at all at MN schools.

Loved the birdcage in S4e1!

The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

Thinking of my Japanese American elders today, their resistance, their bravery in the face of state violence.

The president sending the director of national intelligence - herself an admirer of Bashar Assad and Putin - to steal voting records from a state he lost and is on record threatening officials to help him fix it would have been considered an extinction level threat to US democracy 10 years ago.

TAKE A THOUSAND NAKED PICTURES OF YOURSELF NOW. YOU MAY CURRENTLY THINK, "ON I'M TOO SPOOKY OR "NORODY WANTS TO SEE THESE TINY BOOBIES" BUT BEUEVE ME ONE DAY YOU WILL LOOK AT THOSE PICTURES WITH MUCH KINDER EYES AND SAY "DEAR GOD, I WAS A BEAUTIFUL THING! MORA ROSE

With much love RIP Catherine O'Hara.

Speculation that the FBI special agent in charge in Atlanta was fired when he raised questions about the planned raid on the Fulton County elections center are confirmed.

I am beside myself

Also, Weezer.

(And Green Day was def horny)

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Dream big!

Really though my this was about OSD Policy

Agree that lacks some of the frisson from the page

Stop making me agree with Rand Paul. I don’t like it.

I feel like the tone is pretty consistent with books, which are understated. There’s more drama in the adaptation of Mirror and the Light.

Have you read the book(s)?

What would be more prestige??

9-9-6 was a Chinese term invented mostly to show how depressing and lifeless work culture was; watching softbrained AI guys adopt it as an ideal is ... well, entirely predictable

DC folks: does anyone have a Cherry Blossom ten miler entry they can’t use and are interested in selling before the transfer window ends on Monday?

Alas I didn’t get in through the lottery in the first time in a long time (I’ve run it 9 times) 😢

If not in The Onion, why Onion-shaped?

We were on the cusp of changing medicine forever. Curing things that had no cure. mRNA vaccines are revolutionary

DC / Nova drivers - better to drive into downtown tmo morning or take the metro?

For serial?

Great piece.

also i cry a little every time my Nest thermostat tells me it's using aux heat. just setting money on fire.
