I would rather live next door to someone who speaks another language than live next door to someone who doesn’t want to live near people who speak other languages. I know nothing about Person A but I know person B is a shitbird.

My neighbor does not seem to like leaves very much. He is running a leaf blower continuously, daily. Maybe he should have considered that the house he bought backs up to woods? Great family tho, so I guess we can put up with the noise.

Technically, a plane is still in flight until it hits the ground. And during the fall the passengers are screaming for their lives.

basically camps that will concentrate detainees in a single place

Lori Lightfoot on federal immigration enforcement across Chicago | The Chicago Report From politics to pop culture, Paris Schutz and guests bring Chicago's top voices to you.

Former Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot announces that she is opening a documentation center to collect evidence of the criminal misconduct of DHS leadership and of ICE agent deployed to Chicago and its environs. The effort will also focus on unmasking and identifying all ICE agents deployed.

Me 10 years ago: You know people are always calling political opponents Nazis even if they aren’t anything like Nazis, I wish that would stop

Monkey‘s paw:

Another reminder that 98% of Antifa is just identifying local Nazis in your community

A woman in what looks like business attire with a black handbag over her shoulder stands in front of an armed vehicle flipping the bird with both hands. Unfortunately a friend sent this to me, I don’t know who the hero woman is or the photographer

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening.

Make statues of this.

Going to go to dad's for dinner tomorrow night. He said, "That would be perfect. I didn't know you'd remember!"

Really, Dad??

So it’s 1 year since we lost mom. Wow.

thank you @andrewhickey.500songs.com for introducing me to so much music! I've been on a Louis Jordan kick for a few days now.

I refuse to turn on the heat this early.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough. VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing. https://www.stereogum.com/2083804/icp-interview-juggalos/interviews/weve-got-a-file-on-you/

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

“What do you mean it’s on the record? It’s on Signal with disappearing messages” is the journalism equivalent of “How can I be out of money? I still have loads of checks left”.

These people are unsmart—not stupid, just incapable of behaving in a way that doesn’t look stupid. They are constantly trying twist reality into their beliefs and it makes them look like idiots. They are not infallible. They are incompetent at every level and that can be exploited.

Ok the bolognese shakshula rocked. Esp with the challah my patient made me.

Made a real bolognese last night, with spaghetti. Haven't done it in years. Now trying to figure out what to do with it today. Prob make some shakshouka.

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

Trump's meticulous construction of a secret police force in the traditional authoritarian model: hyper violent, targeting domestic political adversaries, unaccountable under law and to court. Pro Publica does a fine job here, with the sort of piece that NYT, WaPo and WSJ don't have the guts to run.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will:

MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR.

Measles cases have reached their HIGHEST point since the disease WAS ELIMINATED from the United States in 2000. We are at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

Good advice for Pam Bondi and everyone in the Trump Regime. There will be a day of reckoning. If Trump pardons Bondi she can be charged with her many state crimes. Targeting Blue states will backfire in a spectacular way when the Trump Regime is no more #ProudBlue

Why Your Family Name Was Not Changed at Ellis Island (and One That Was) | The New York Public Library There is a myth that persists in the field of genealogy, or more accurately, in family lore, that family names were changed at Ellis Island…

I'm sorry. I understand people are very attached to this Ellis Island thing, but it's just not true.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

I used to think people just didn’t understand what Columbus did but now I think some are really attached to him (as opposed to other worthy italians to celebrate) because their whole thing is not only getting away with doing horrible things but forcing everyone to praise them for being horrible

AI could make it harder to establish blame for medical failings, experts say Report raises concerns about liability issues and lack of testing as development of AI health tools booms

In a development absolutely everyone saw coming….

Today is Indigenous People’s Day.

Columbus was a piece of shit, his contemporaries thought so, and the USA is continuing its founding settler-colonial genocide against Indigenous peoples.

perhaps i was unclear. "atheist" refers to all of those who don't believe in gods. This includes everyone who doesn't believe in gods--by definition. whether you just happen to be atheist (an excellent default) or you happen to be atheist and an asshole, youre both still atheists.
