The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

When the notoriously leftwing institution of the <checks notes> papacy is telling your country it’s gone too far right

Maybe the dumbest line of Sweet Home Alabama is “Does your conscience bother you?” because it fucking should given what you did, but the end of The Little
Foxes is exactly the answer of “Yes, my conscience bothers me”

Dude, the end of this film, absolutely soul shaking

It’s a savage script, unsparing, unsentimental, totally appropriate to the moment

Every regional theater in the United States should be producing The Little Foxes, a play about the brutal, casual greed of . . . oh, shit the donor class of regional theaters

The youths scold the olds something fierce in this script, a lesson for the ages

The car dealership class didn’t exist when she wrote it, but she straight skewers them and their petty, vindictive greed, my gosh

Lillian Hellman rolls HARD in THE LITTLE FOXES, hot damn

The part in Not Strong Enough where they sing "I'm not strong enough to be your man. I lied, I am . . . just lowering your expectations" gets me every single time

I've been listening to boygenius a lot recently and my gosh, what an impeccable album "the record" is, chock full of bangers and incredible emotional journeys

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Fifa banned Russia from international football. Now it must do the same for Israel As Israel inflicts untold misery on Palestinians, it is time for football’s governing bodies to stand by the principles they claim to uphold

My latest @theguardian.com: "Fifa banned Russia from international football. Now it must do the same for Israel." As Israel inflicts untold misery on Palestinians, it is time for soccer’s governing bodies to stand by the principles they claim to uphold www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Robinhood now permanently on my shit list for even proposing this nonsense

No one with an ounce of sense would allow a company to sell an NFT of a security, that’s completely unhinged

We are gonna pay big for not having a functional SEC, jeebus

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

You can’t even blame the media for washing Trump’s reputation on this matter, the NY Times, WaPo, the Economist, Forbes, the Financial Times, all covered the fraud convictions, the shutting down of the charities, the fraud of the university, his history of stiffing contractors

One of the weirdest bits of disinfo I’ve encountered is that there are people who genuinely believe that Trump is a stand up dude, e.g. he let people stay at Mar a Lago after a hurricane, all of which is so manifestly contradicted by the factual record, I find this belief staggering

Trump deliberately stiffing people is like one of the main through lines of his entire career, no one should ever think he’s sincere about paying anyone

Gene Hackman, Robert Redford and Diane Keaton all going in the same year. Absolute titans of '70s cinema

I am quite paranoid about the government demanding them to be unlocked, probably irrationally, but *gestures at the world*, so I don't use biometrics for my mobile devices, it mainly just causes me to *gasp* type my password a bunch

This happens to me when I climb outside for like a week. Illuminating how easy it is to make fingerprint readers freaking useless

amazing anecdote in @emmabaccellieri.bsky.social's story on the las vegas aces: www.si.com/wnba/aces-lo...

Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink A handful of journalists rebel against a hedge fund that is gutting newspapers nationwide.

"Hedge fund Alden Global Capital gobbles up newspapers across America and guts them. No one knows why, until journalist Julie Reynolds investigates. Her findings trigger journalist rebellions at Alden-owned newspapers nationwide."

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The evangelism is insecurity from people who made the wrong bet. I’ve seen it before. futurism.com/future-socie...

this is the classic power move of a manager who works about an hour a day but wants to create the impression they are working from sunrise to sunset

Chanting, "we are the body of Christ! The body of Christ will be free!"

This crowd has swelled considerably. Few hundred here now.
