Thank you to everyone who's heard our new episode of THE HARBINGERS.

Every time you go away for a bit you worry everyone will forgot about you and move onto a new thing. So we're blown away by the reception that Ep. 9's had. It's far exceeded all our expectations.

This is very true about Ilia and it’s amazing how many ultra-wealthy old men are totally incapable of being this honorable

At a cast party in 8th grade someone put on music in a language I don't speak and I was like "omg what IS this" and they were like, it's Rammstein, and I was like "I am going to make this my whole personality"

This might be why I can't wrap my head around the Bad Bunny rage

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.

In addition: we are at 140 year old tech with fountain pens. Most of the innovations are incredibly far out of patent.
As with knitting patterns, 5 points of difference is sufficient, and it need not be drastic.
Boosting corporate interests never ends well. Diversity of manufacture does.

Four Haitian women found decapitated after alleged ICE abduction — families devastated Four Haitian women deported from Puerto Rico were found decapitated near the Dominican border, sparking speculations that ICE is working with cartels and gang members.

Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

Since 2007, the Massachusetts Department of Correction has been sending people exiting state prisons directly into ICE custody. Massachusetts is the only state where Democrats have full control of the state government with such an agreement.

today's incredible piece of lore is that apparently Jon Hamm is a Bad Bunny superfan and has acquired the nickname Juan Jamón

It’s good messaging, and Democrats across the country should be using it. And it’s powerful because it’s simple and connects concerns of the working and middle class to an admin that is hostile to those concerns and is instead laser-focused on elite impunity and interested of the uber-wealthy.
