HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Is it good when federal judges have to schedule Sunday night 10 pm hearings about absurd military invasions of their state.

watch this.

I’m more used to saying this to people on the Left than people on the Right, but, “hate speech” is not an exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment unless it falls into a traditional established exception.

For those who missed my earlier, more substantive response to Klein’s piece:

Everyone drink.

POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.

Read this whole thread. The EO is a huge regressive step. And Brian's not wrong to be worried about this point in particular. The major theme of Trump II social policy is old-style Poor Law thinking, down to the indoor versus outdoor relief distinction.

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

DOJ says it acted pursuant to President’s authority so Grace is out. The question now is will they name Habba to a new 120 day interim US attorney appointment or will they turn to the Vacancies Act and name a different person as acting US attorney.

Her: you quote Alanis Morissette too much

Me: well slap me with a splintered ruler

waste, fraud and abuse

*clears throat*

BUT ARE THEY DOING IT TO ENFORCE THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT?

(I seriously can’t believe we have to live through this bs again ….)

One thing that keeps me up these days: how is the next party in power supposed to govern? The GOP has signaled it will not always be bound by laws or international agreements it disagrees with. It’s not absolute — they blew up part of reconciliation, but not all; ignore some court orders, etc. (1/7)

Trump doesn't talk a lot about abortion, but he's putting anti-abortion zealots in positions where they can do immense harm. Read this thread and the linked article.

Here’s the full memo:

AI is a tool (sorry!) that people who are bad at their jobs will use badly and that people who are good at their jobs will maybe, possibly find some uses for. People who are terrible at their jobs (many executives), will tell their employees that they “need” to use AI, that their jobs depend on it, that they must become more productive, and that becoming an AI-first company is the strategy that will save them from the old failed strategy, which itself was the new strategy after other failed business models. The only journalism business strategy that works, and that will ever work in a sustainable way, is if you create something of value that people (human beings, not bots) want to read or watch or listen to, and that they cannot find anywhere else.

This is very good.

Work finally upgraded our computers to Windows 11, and--shocker--the Windows OS still cannot manage to save my taskbar settings (like removing Edge as a pinned application or actually *hiding* the taskbar as my settings instruct).

I will forever hate this company.

Apropos the annoyance of extremely incompetent people destroying the country, I wanted to tell the story of the dumbest crime that I ever peripherally observed.

It's a long story. I've told it before on Twitter. I promise it is relevant.
