This is a great piece, especially explaining the "ipso facto" justification for their actions. But I have one cavil: did you really mean to link the photo of an unmarked ICE car with the other "regrettable" acts? It is really not in that class, especially if you regard ICE's actions as regrettable.

So, Marge, you are a fan of MFA, right?

Also you seem to be in favor of hospitals rejecting certain humans who have been critically hurt in a car accident or dying from a stroke, but we can have that discussion.

So glad it doesn't say "we the citizens" - the Constitution is clear on that, even if the current regime would have you believe differently.

Be careful with the rhetoric. When that was used in pre-Obamacare town halls, people in the audience shouted "so move back there!"

Time to start treating the 32-bit indexes as unsigned (btdt).

Does that mean you plan to fully restore the funding before the end of October?

I don't care to argue about labels. What's happening is heading in a dangerous direction and must be resisted by all means at our disposal. Stop arguing about a word! The dictionary definition of fascism is of no use now.

"will wake up to their new authoritarian reality" and many of them will cheer it on.

He's confusing himself with Bill Clinton in 2000. Perfectly understandable.

And it's the first thing you can cross out.

Skvirill

And multiple cases of healed fractures including a femur have been found in Neanderthal remains (which, given what we are now understand about Neanderthal culture, is no longer surprising).

Including non-citizen veterans, seniors, and working families. Wait...not... I'm confused.

Try programming Emacs (or (anything)) in lisp)))))))).

There's an appe for everything.

I'm not familiar with that track.

Adding: the BBC 100 also played part of John Luther Adams Become Ocean, which I heard twice at Benaroya Hall (I lived in Seattle for 20 years).

Mine similar. The Sarabande was one of the works featured in the BBC 100 retrospective.

Roomfull of Teeth performed Berio's Sinfonia with the Seattle Symphony in 2018 but I didn't know who they were then.

First check if they installed new meters that recorded liters instead of gallons but forgot to update the software.

Happened to me once in a new development with gas: BTU vs cubic feet I think. Neighbors just shrugged their shoulders but we challenged it.

When you want to block someone for being obnoxious, but they block you first just because you calmly stated a fact, can you still do it just to be sure?

I supposed I could create an alternate account, follow them and immediately block them just out of spite.

Caroline Shaw is always worth a listen.

I made it 16 million, but I'll check again.

Shouldn't it be "fewer water"?

All I can see in that approach is inviting despair. It needs a promise of a way out too.

By my count, Russ Vought announced that he will be withholding funds from 17 states that together contain 16,584,587 Trump 2024 voters.

Yes, he represents everyone in the country, but given that he doesn't we should note that there were (by my count) 16,584,587 Trump voters in those states.

@chipbayers.bsky.social thank you for liking this. Thin-skinned Hunter blocked me for saying that about his idol.

Bregman of course.

You were the one who brought up the clutch situation. And Alex Bergman batted .500 yesterday and Trevor Story today. It's not actually special to go 2-4 in one game.

Except yesterday.
