It’s worse than you think. This is his lawyer Rita Glavin who has been paid tens of millions of dollars to smear me and the other women who came forward. She has led his taxpayer funded litigation abuse of us all.

And here she is at the loser party with him.

As a native Michigander I would normally approve of such a self-destructive move. But we as a country not in a position to let this idiocy slide.

If your alma mater is even hinting at doing something similar, write angry letters.

End of The Line: how Saudi Arabia’s Neom dream unravelled Mohammed bin Salman’s utopian city was undone by the laws of physics and finance

NEW: The End of the Line: the centrepiece of Saudi Arabia’s Neom gigaproject - a 500m tall, 170km long wall-like building intended ultimately to house 9 million people - can’t get out of the ground, say more than 20 former Neom architects, engineers and senior executives.

Tear gas in use during a strike in the 1930s

OK, as promised, here's my thread about the links between tear gas/pepper spray and the arms trade and gun industry.

Tesla Is Obsessed With Musk’s Pay Package. Musk Is Obsessed With AI. Musk’s focus on winning the artificial-intelligence arms race leads to long hours at xAI. Employees were compelled to turn over biometric data to develop controversial avatars.

a pretty alarming longform piece about what's going on in Musk's companies as he starts to be possessed by AI. it probably shouldn't shock anyone to find out that Ani, the creepy blonde AI waifu avatar from xAI, was entirely his idea AND that it was built with his employee's personal data.

🤔

This explanation is ridiculous yet likely true. Millions of people did not conceptualize Trump the way we do (e.g., "bad person who did a bad job and wants to do bad things like X, Y, Z") but rather as a TV character, an avatar of prosperity who would somehow bless them economically.

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

Martha Stewart’s ‘Entertaining’ Let Me Party Like It Was 1982 What replicating a cocktail party from Martha Stewart’s first book taught me about Martha, and the good life

Martha republished her first cookbook today, so it's a great time to reread my piece about cooking a menu from it and the specific version of wealth she sells in it www.eater.com/24283638/mar...

Tch. Don't change the subject. He wasn't there for ghost rights

An EPA inspector knows better than to randomly open a waste container and spill its contents out. In fact, that raises an interesting point: was he really with the EPA? He literally did everything wrong.

"Bad day," or scam artist?

I'm aware. Hence "demand better security and power backups" (which let's face it, is only step one). The analogy stands.

The idiot opened up a container that *by his own logic* needed to be kept sealed.

Walter Peck *could* have been the good guy if he had understood the ad hoc ghost containment system actually had ghosts. Then he could rightfully demand improved security and power backups.

It's as if some unqualified twit walked into the CDC and opened the lockers holding virus samples ... oh no.

Dick Cheney, Gone But Not Forgotten - emptywheel The precedents Dick Cheney established as Vice President have empowered the madness and authoritarianism of Donald Trump.

Elspeth as well.

Hm. There needs to be a list of shows based on Columbo on Wikipedia. Its article only mentions Furuhata Ninzaburo as one.

Anyway, Dick Cheney is a fossil fuel now. It's what he loved most. Besides killing.

Donald, J. D., Miller (which allows keeping the "sim'lar" rhyme) and Johnson.

Whether it keeps to the testicular subject or use different unflattering comparisons is up to the lyricist.

It's over a century old, but it occurred to me that the Colonel Bogey March needs to be revived. With new lyrics.

Kash Patel's dramatic claims about a Halloween terrorist plot in metro Detroit appear to be fraudulent, Detroit News reports. Those arrested are internet gamers who do not appear to have been involved in a plot of any sort. Patel was attempting to distract from a scandal about his jet escapades.

The “Person who wants a political party to lose describes what that political party must do to win” genre of article is just incredibly insulting to everyone’s intelligence yet it will persist until the end of time

Venezuelan Opposition Leader And Nobel Prize Winner Claims Military Escalation Is The Only Way To Remove Maduro "This process is about saving lives, millions of lives," Machado added Demian Bio X@bio_demian / Published Oct 312025, 12:00 PM EDT

When I pointed out that, after being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the first thing Machado did was to thank Trump and request US military intervention toward the goal of regime change in Venezuela, my post went viral because people became furious with me. It was very clear where this was headed.
