On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.

it really tells this Jew something that so many online leftists insists this guy, whose been been sounding the alarm on evangelical oil barons buying their way into a TX theocracy for years now, is a crypto-fascist, while the guy who had an SS Totenkopf on his tit for twenty years is fine

the only way to prevent something like this happening again is to prosecute every officer and seaman involved in following these orders

and the president can’t so much as latte salute a Marine without explicit Congressional pre-approval

it’s so long past time this horseshit ends

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

one of the voter populations that this is most likely to disenfranchise are suburban and rural folk without college degrees. only half of eligible voters have a passport and that pop over-indexes likely Dems. I truly think this would backfire on them almost as much as mid-decade redistricting.

George, the market taking such wild swings *on a tweet* is efficient and rational in the only the most textbook Finance 101 definition. my prior life as a conflict scholar is colliding with my 11 years as an advisor and β€œwe’ll take over Hormuz” is utter nonsense.

A Thirsty Tesla Refinery Could Exacerbate Corpus Christi’s Water Crisis Local activists warn that while residents must ration, unimpeded industrial expansion is imperiling the region’s future.

As Corpus Christi faces a water crisis, the Tesla refinery must be part of the story.

From May: β€œWhat we conserve is literally a drop in the bucket to what needs to be done, which industry is not contributing to.”

I love the Wrath of Khan uniforms, but they always seemed incongruous with the Motion Picture uniforms that came before them and the Next Generation uniforms that essentially came after, so years ago I designed some transitional uniforms for fun

People Hate AI Even More Than They Hate ICE, Poll Finds The only things less popular than AI in the poll were Iran and the Democratic Party.

Btw, Jay Graber’s cold, dismissive attitude (exemplified by β€œwaffles”) toward people’s legitimate concerns about safety on Bluesky are why I moved to Blacksky. Remember that ATProto is not just Bluesky. There are several alternatives here or starting up, not run by venture capitalists.

Here's a draft manuscript of the Magic: The Gathering roleplaying game from 1996, and I've giving it away as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, with permission from the authors. Not sure how much to ask for. Vanishingly rare. $1,872 raised so far. #mtg #ttrpg

Saw on the train today, Fukushima prefecture is doing a tourism campaign in partnership with Square-Enix, promoting Final Fantasy-like landscapes & touristic spots.

Cute stuff, I only found the 1st one in good quality.

if you’re an American Jew who agrees with this and are happy he’s just saying this about Muslims and not us

1) you’re a bad Jew

2) just wait, he’ll get to us

3) see points 1 and 2
