They raided the jailed children to steal their letters.

The problem, in federal officials' minds, wasn't confining children in prison-camp conditions; it was that the children could tell the public about it.

Marco Rubio just flew to Budapest to deliver a speech in which he provided a full endorsement of Viktor Orbán in the upcoming Hungarian elections.
Here is the letter he signed in 2019 warning about Hungary's "downward democratic trajectory" under Orbán

Wow.

If those who claim the authority of law do not obey the law, and the law does not stop them, then they do not have the authority of law, because there is no longer any law.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But the DOW is over 50,000."

That old saw about how "good times make weak men" is true in the sense that stable times with material abundance create reactionaries who want to destroy the systems that protect them because they're too sheltered and stupid to understand that things can get meaningfully worse. Jason CO @jasonc_nc. 2/8/25 I don't think a lot of people appreciate how much of their overall lifestyle and relative certainty is backstopped by a steady, boring stability of systems they don't understand or even realize exist. • 24 L7 1.8K 15K Ill 399K ... Max Dubler @maxdubler True decadence looks like people who are three generations removed from the cultural memory of polio refusing to vaccinate their children against deadly communicable diseases because they don't like needles and don't think there will be any consequences, not queer

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

Made me laugh this morning

Rich people think they live in a higher tier of society full of better and more brilliant people, but it’s actually just the same society except the people have more money to waste and lose. So much of what they do is just wealth-induced hallucination

When you dig deeper around mysteriously successful figures you generally find that rather than being incomprehensibly brilliant masters of the universe, they actually just lied a bunch and committed a bunch of crimes that no one wanted to look too hard at

they fired the OpenAI product policy VP for "sexually discriminating against a male colleague" after she opposed reorienting the product towards porn. having seen precision/recall numbers for large production abuse systems you do not want to tune for precision.

My favourite Musk prediction is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail that can crash cars.

And now it seems Liverpool signed Owen Goal from us.

Yeah, I don't get the comms discussing for a whole minute how she will now miss the home leg.

Border Patrol agents say 'time to get aggressive' in footage that contradicts claims against Marimar Martinez Martinez is expected to announce a new lawsuit stemming from her Oct. 4 shooting by a Border Patrol agent at a press conference Wednesday. Her attorneys say newly released evidence will show an agent ...

Chicago's U.S. attorney's office has released evidence from the case against Marimar Martinez, pre-empting her press conference later today.

It even released text messages it once claimed would "sully" a Border Patrol agents's rep.

Andrew, I'm confused. You write that Chelsea dropped points, but the result was 2-2, which I thought counted as a Chelsea win?

A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

A tale of two billionaires. Jeff Bezos was at fashion week in Europe while he pulled a let-them-eat-cake firing of 30% of Washington Post journalists. Jimmy Lai stood by his newsroom and he will now likely die in a Hong Kong prison. Tell everyone you know about Jimmy Lai.

i just saw someone say "Kid Rock makes music for the people who have tattoos of their kids but not custody" and hol up i need a minute

My thoughts on the title race are as follows: Arsenal beat Sunderland this weekend, and City beat Liverpool. Currently Arsenal have 56 points to City's 50, with 13 matches to play. Securing the highest number of points will be key to winning the title.

These have been my title race thoughts.

The underfunding of social infrastructure has also led the philanthropic/nonprofit sector in the US to grow to fill in the gaps. And while supporting that sector might seem like a way for privileged people to do good with their money, it gives privileged people huge power over that sector, as well.

Avoiding Us versus Them: How Schools’ Dependence on Privileged “Helicopter” Parents Influences Enforcement of Rules - Jessica McCrory Calarco, 2020 As privilege-dependent organizations, U.S. public schools have an interest in catering to higher-SES White families. But, what happens when privileged families’...

In the US, and because of how we underfund social infrastructure, public institutions are heavily privilege dependent--their reputations and resources hinge on the support they get from affluent (White) people, which hinges on letting those people break rules.
