Halloween Born, Halloween Raised

The Batman Beyond episode "Heroes" debuted on this day (Feb. 20) in 1999. A great episode from the first season, and one just jam-packed with plenty of nods to the House of Ideas (aka Marvel Comics), Batman finds himself at odds with a superhero team called The Terrific Trio! #BatmanBeyond #Batman

I need the timeline to have MCA and Jam Master Jay be alive.

Then I'll help everyone move there.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Supreme Court’s Declaration of Independence

1/ Okay, now I’m mad.

Any Supreme Court in our nation’s history before John Roberts would have upheld the lower courts’ injunctions blocking Trump’s tariffs & not issued a stay that let Trump wreck the economy and break the law for over a year.

Eagerly awaiting the outcry from the it is a federal crime to protest at Brett Kavanaugh's house crowd

every single day we get a new article with 23 different reasons why this guy should be in jail

THE TWO SETS OF GOGGLES!!!

Do not let Brett Kavanaugh's increasingly reactionary politics distract you from the simpler fact that Brett Kavanaugh is a dullard and a shitty writer whose colleagues all (albeit for different reasons) very obviously have nothing but contempt for him

This is what we all want but it will take some legal experts to head this and I advise that all Democrats tread lightly by promising to do any of this. There rules and regulations that are to be followed. I'm not saying we should try but to promise this and fail by not being honest, is serious.

‘Andor’ Creator Tony Gilroy Gives the Interview He Couldn’t During Its Release While promoting his cautionary tale about fascism, Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from using the word. Nine months after it aired its finale, the 'Star Wars' series feels scarily prescient.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

This new paper's interesting results indicate a sudden 10-fold increase in lithium at 96 km altitude due to #SpaceX Falcon 9 re-entry debris.

This is now joining further modelling and evidence of impacts on the upper atmosphere - a shared global common we all rely on.

If you're an English teacher and you make your students diagram a single sentence from the president's formal remarks, you will be charged with felony assault and sent to prison for the rest of your natural life.

my unexpert opinion: I would highly recommend purchasing any consumer goods you need in the next few years right now like this exact second,

Piers Morgan should never have been rehabilitated’.
This is one of the worst things I’ve ever read. Ugh. These horrible people.

Eugene Oregon really said "I hate to recommend destructive direct action to anyone, but it's always worked for me"

I looked up recently what the success rate for LLMs tuned for doing accounting is because that’s an ideal use case and it was like below 70% which is super unacceptable, like if your accountant fucked up that much you’d go to prison.

It's not a new observation, but I'm always struck listening to Trump cry and whine about how he's the victim, bitch and moan about how mean and unfair everyone is to him, brag endlessly about how great he is and how unfair it all is, to remember that his cult thinks he's the Peak Alpha Male

The new global 10% 122 tariff will expire in late July. Extending requires an act of congress.

I'm sure this is what Rs want to be dealing with before the midterms.

Funniest thing I've seen this week.
