That was my concern

Is it crazy to go get a car inspected in the middle of the night?

YouTube video by emptywheel Let them eat ballroom

Fantastic video from @emptywheel.bsky.social explaining the level of corruption for funding the new & horrifyingly tacky "ballroom" (IMHO it looks like the Vatican & Grand Kremlin Palace puked all over White House)

I think from here forward we need to call this the #EpsteinBallroom

Definitely should not have had that slice of pizza.

Of course, I have a filing system that is completely logical! That's why the lien release for the car was in a folder labeled "Car" on a pile on the left, while the encumbered title for the car was in the "important papers" box in an unlabeled folder.

Absolute numpties. Can't even do a vanity firing.

NEW: For years, religious groups have applied for a special government program that helps secure worship spaces.

But this year, DHS changed the conditions — such as apparently requiring grant recipients to cooperate with ICE.

Yes the name that is a complete sentence thing never gets old

Really good to see new tenants in San Francisco storefronts and I excuse me a second what sorry no WHAT

And “Mike Rose” as the civilian name for an ant man knockoff or cyber hero (micros!) would work

Weirdly enough I met the original writers of The Toxic Avenger last month at a birthday party 🤢

Interesting start to the day here in Oakland. A Terminix truck drove by, and a bin of insecticide fell out into the crosswalk as the driver continued on, oblivious. I collected the loose materials & moved them to the side of the road as other pedestrians shouted out "we appreciate you."

Trump Administration Is Bringing Back Scores of C.D.C. Experts Fired in Error

They "unfired" the CDC employees when they figured out what a gigantic mistake that idiot Russell Vought had made. The Trump Administration is one idiot show after another. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/h...

“we are telling you right now that we do not intend to honor anything we agree to” is certainly a negotiating position one can take

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

Rather than deal with reality as it is, Oregon Republicans thirsty for President Miller to send troops to Portland post photos of Ecuador from years ago www.theguardian.com/us-news/2...

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Robert Morris, Texas megachurch pastor, pleads guilty to sexually abusing a child Under a plea agreement, Morris was given a 10-year sentence, but he will serve only six months in an Oklahoma jail.

ICYMI, Donald Trump's faith advisor Robert Morris just pled guilty to molesting a 12 year old girl.

Good thing there aren't any other prominent conservatives with such transgressions in their pasts or present! And that the Speaker is on the side of transparency.

Expedite a FOIA lawsuit? Trump administration wants $50K first Pay-to-play comes for Freedom of Information Act litigation

The National Security Agency ‘expedited’ a FOIA request — then took 1,827 days to process it.

The Defense Department ‘expedited’ another — it took 1,119 days.

Now, Trump wants requesters to pay $50k if a court expedites a FOIA lawsuit?

No way.

NEW: A 20-year federal prosecutor, fired abruptly this week even as he lead case against Abbey Gate bomber, warns his colleagues: the Trump administration is sacrificing national security to purge Trump's perceived adversaries.
