NEW: Sandwich guy jury has a note for the judge! What does it say? If it were me, I’d want to hear Lairmore’s testimony again, but read in a series of muppet character voices.

1/ Russian soldiers are being handcuffed to each other, pepper-sprayed, and beaten to force them to go to the front lines. A soldier says that ex-POWs and badly wounded men on crutches are being forced to fight. "They're just throwing us in for meat," he says. ⬇️

Look, I know I poke the kids about fascism, but in a fascist state, you don't get charged with a felony about a sandwich and then walk out when a jury - and the nation - laughs at the prosecutors.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.

So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Every Raiders series is the same

Bad first down run

Immediate pressure on second down

*fart noise* on third down

(Reuters) - Meta internally projected late last year that it would earn about 10% of its overall annual revenue – or $16 billion – from running advertising for scams and banned goods, internal company documents show.

Roger Stone tweets: "For years men who appreciate my personal style have urged me to launch my own menswear line.... Stay tuned."

if someone is willing to pay for the products, i'd be willing to purchase these items, deconstruct them, and give them to expert tailors, shoemakers, and craftspeople for review. i will also see if i can track down the factories. i would be interested to know if these items are made in the US

Why does this column exist?

We are not even *close* to that. And if people keep showing up to vote the way they did on Tuesday, we never will be.

I remember that atmosphere as a boy. And I returned to Greece as a young teen a year after the colonels were gone. But if you want to see people afraid, an opposition in trouble, a government on the edge - then please, watch that film. It's about a real descent into authoritarianism. /2

If you truly worry we're headed for fascism, then watch the 1969 movie "Z", a barely-veiled retelling of the 1963 assassination of Greek politician Lambrakis, made two years after the junta took power. It was on TCM last night, but I saw it as a kid after being in Greece in that time. /1

A photo of Tasneem and her children and her destroyed home. With the words: "I'm Tasneem, a mother of three children. I used to live a simple life, full of love despite its simplicity - but everything changed on October 7. Our home was completely destroyed, we've been displaced more than 15 times, and now we live in daily hell. My only dream is to secure a safe life for my children outside of Gaza. Any support - even just €5 - could change their future and give them a sense of safety. Help us build a new hope for them. ❤️"

Like many of the displaced civilians in Gaza, my dear friend Tasneem relies on this platform to raise direct donations so she can feed her children, pay for medic services and raise funds to rebuild their lives.

Please give to Tasneem and to others. 🙏

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

How one tech startup is giving cash to SNAP recipients Propel makes a free app for people on food stamps. Now it's giving some of them $50 each, as some private companies, nonprofits, and individuals scramble to help.

If anyone wants to help me liberate Dick Cheney's grand jury transcript, LMK.

[He had a June 2004 interview with Pat Fitz, and then a later August 2004 interview, in Jackson Hole, that was treated as a GJ transcript. The latter is what I want.]

My make up came in and they gave me so much freebies

Anyway they’re so cute I’m crying, I’ve only seen samples of these beaten up in Donki

Raises the question: Were the grand jurors informed of the date when Richman resigned from the FBI?

1/ A Russian marine says that his commander, whom he describes as an incompentent drunkard, ordered his unit to march 20 km and attack a Russian-held position, after which all but three of his men were killed. He's now considering a suicide mission to kill his commanders. ⬇️

I don’t think the Republicans plan to open the government for a while.

Trump thinks he is untouchable while Congress is out. He has no incentive to get them back to work.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Fuck that guy

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @deadder.bsky.social )

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
