New Muppet show. I've just realised, kermit is a vampire. Ageless, possessed of mind control powers.

"The system sucks," or what a federal lawyer's comments really tell us about the Trump admin Julie Le's comments are shocking, but they are a problem of the Trump admin’s own making. And it goes way beyond one lawyer new to the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office.

The New York Times not linking to anyone who’s been reporting this — and then pushing it — is quite annoying!

Also, my story is much more detailed and actually explains things going on, in addition to linking to three other reports from other outlets. www.lawdork.com/p/the-system...

Silver cufflinks with gold details, circular sort of planetary logo with Preservation Alliance and a space ship with pretty wings (we know ART is pretty, right?) and a star emblem…

Because they just popped up on my dash: some pretty things I had made for my spouse a couple of years ago—cufflinks with Preservation Alliance on one and an ART (Perihelion) of University of Mihira and NewTideland on the other…

Referencing, of course, the Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

What if Musk was right about AI dooming us, but not because of hyper intelligence?

Ok off to work at a modern tech company...

At least they saved time and money with the new automation system!

I would really like the world to stop dropping geopolitical bombs over the weekend. Give us just one week to follow up on anything.

Yeah they're gonna do a World Cup in a country in the middle of a dictatorship that is kidnapping people and sending them to torture prisons... AGAIN.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

I spoke to the Secretary-General of NATO, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, Friedrich Merz and Giorgia Meloni.

Together we stand firm in our commitment to uphold the sovereignty of Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance

Iconic imo

Toasters are just small ovens. And big ovens I mean really, big, are very very very political. So I think you being political is you staying in your lane.

How to build a radically truthful news outlet The old ways don’t work. Time to declare war on the liars.

My Stop the Presses newsletter calls for more aggressive action by the media to be "radically truthful" and defeat the liars:
/ Correct *every* lie uttered on your platform.
/ Put Trump's remarks on tape delay for proper fact checks.
/ Cut off liars in mid-interview and ban them from your airwaves.

"An ICE administrative warrant is NOT a judicial warrant. ICE administrative warrants do not give ICE officials authority to enter a place where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, without consent."

Reminder that these kind of door-to-door “general warrants” are both explicitly illegal and also a major trigger for the American Revolution.

As is sled.rs/errors.html - and I agree with their conclusion entirely.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
