The Water Liars’ “Just Be Simple,” on the other hand, breaks my fucking heart every time.

Just a heads up that the clock in the scorebug is a minute behind the clock on the scoreboard!

Tidal was good until I hit its 10K limit on liked songs and switched to Qobuz.

Prickly lettuce. Related to lettuce you eat but significantly more stabby.

i would imagine hasan knows, rationally, not to talk in situations like this. he did anyway because cops of all stripes are very good at making you feel like in *just this one particular situation* it makes more sense to talk a bit. don't ever give in to that impulse.

I sent this to my sister in Roanoke and my in-laws near Asheville. Thanks for trying to save this sweet boy.

What kind of society do we want to be, actually? Do we take this little pride in doing something properly for ourselves? Do we care this little about getting things right? Using AI, in its current state, to write questions for the California Bar Exam? Are we not ashamed?

The Smart People said "Abolish ICE" was too radical. Then ICE kidnapped students, sent innocent people to a mega prison, broke into a car to take a mom from her daughter, and tried questioning elementary kids while lying that they had parents permission.

Ask yourself: which part is more "radical"?

yeah man, please make my 85 year
old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Trump Administration Aims to Spend $45 Billion to Expand Immigrant Detention A request for proposals for new detention facilities and other services would allow the government to expedite the contracting process and rapidly expand detention.

this is a staggering amount of money to build camps—suggesting that building & running a gulag will be the primary function of the otherwise gutted Trump-state

in last fiscal yr: "D.H.S. allocated about $3.4 billion for the entire custody operation overseen by ICE"

Charlie Blackmon is dead (retired). Long live Charlie Blackmon.

Allegedly. Seems like it’s been in beta/limited release for months now.

Qobuz is French and is mostly excellent. When their Spotify Connect analog rolls out, that will address the biggest missing piece.

No brain waves to home in on. Switching over

Of course it’s illegal. That doesn’t really matter anymore unless the courts do something about it, and even then, it only matters if their orders are followed. We’re not in a new era—we’re back in an old one.

These plutocrat motherfuckers need to remember that labor laws were the compromise.

[me telling my story how I bombed the Houthis and then tried to bill the EU for my expenses] it was crazy
[friend who once got a text from me where I accidentally called the grinch the grink] was the grink there?

I have a new puppy, whose small bladder helped motivate me to get up and stay up. This isn’t as romantic as “real” Opening Day, which is still nine days off, but here we are, watching a game that counts in the predawn.

Opening Day of baseball season has always felt like a rebirth. Hope springs anew, miracles are again possible, etc. I used to take the day off from work and binge baseball from morning to night. Today, MLB is back with a one-off game from Tokyo with a start time of 4:10 a.m. MDT.

Hakeem and Co. will make a show of fighting real hard to make the Tunic Affordability Credit fully refundable before settling on a nonrefundable credit with a robust earned income minimum.

Cheers!

Actor Oded Fehr as a character whose name I can’t remember from one of the movies from The Mummy franchise. He looks remarkably like George Harrison.

Oded Fehr has to be George.

Sadly, there actually is a group of people who brutally murder more than 10,000 pet dogs a year in this country.

Their union just endorsed Trump.
