Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Signal DOES NOT require you to use a phone number to register, despite what some weirdos still seem to think.

My Prince and Bowie bands will have an announcement on Wednesday about an upcoming show and this is one of the things keeping me sane right now.

I'm no longer in that world but about 10 years ago a friend had a gun catalog and I was appalled at all the bullshit guns and accessories specifically catering to people that want to pretend they are macho gun owners. Just gross and the antithesis of what I experienced as a kid.

Hello, it's me. I'm the one training the resistance in the diabolically professional OPSEC of setting disappearing messages in the Signal group chat.

as a person that spent their childhood around gun people and guns, this is a very accurate thread.

having dogs that insist on going outside every few hours is a blessing. I'd sit at my desk for hours and hours writing and doing other tasks. The little breaks make me a better writer, spreadsheet creator, and email sender.

One rule I had when modding a large group of folk involved in digital rights organising was potential new group members had to have public prior history of speaking up or being involved in digital rights work. Folk who appeared outta nowhere and had their friends demand entry for them? Yeah nah

Every soccer team I've coached, there's a mom (not usually the same mom, and never a dad, not once in a dozen seasons) who makes a spreadsheet for snack duties, often including questions about allergies and preferences: It's another great case of these guys being totally and proudly ignorant.
