I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Am I missing where Anthropic fits in, or this that a whole second chart?

And COVID tests. I use these sales to stock up on those.

With all that caveat and no disagreement, they seem to be running decent deals (on the order of 30% off) on many lego sets

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Is BradFitz in the running, or did I miss when he did something awful?

Bruce Harrell makes his closing statement for why he should keep his job after his poor performance as Seattle Mayor and this line says it all.

"This is not the time to hope."

I've never been there, but population-wise there's a big gap between Houston and the "cities under 2 million"

*the best part of any convention* - not sure how that typo happened

Isn't Elon also trying to gather all his children and their mothers to a compound in Texas?

I don't expect institutional bravery but ... the hallway chats and after-hours conversations are always the best part of any conversation. Many of these officers will be meeting with old friends they haven't seen in years, and have the opportunity for unrecorded casual off-site conversations.

Young’s opinion, which rules that the Trump admin illegally targeted pro-Palestinian students for deportation, is absolutely scathing.

“In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police…ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it.”

Once again, the moderate position is for ICE to be abolished and Border Patrol to be gutted, and massive civil rights prosecutions leading to prison time. Anybody running on anything less is kicking the can down the road.

It's like their comm teams told Jeffries and Schumer "Trump is sending the army to Portland, people are scared and pissed, you have to say something." And they went "Troops in Portland is bad. But you know what else's bad? Egg prices."

Read the thread. She saw it ALL coming.

Seattle’s Cascade PBS announces layoffs, end of online long-form journalism The move, attributed to the loss of federal funding for public media, marks the layoffs of 17 staffers and the creation of three new positions, station President and CEO Rob Dunlop told KUOW.

Wild shit is happening in local journalism right now.

America's Lysenkoist era

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

This underlying science results in two easy practical things you can do to make your life easier when dealing with COVID. The first is:

It could vary from airport to airport (and other ports of entry), according to how the local DHS chain-of-command believes and feels in their heart the EO is meant to be implemented

As far as I can tell, nobody knows HOW this will be enacted Sunday, for existing H-1B holders re-entering. I've seen a few non-official statements that this only applies to new applications, but ... that's not in the text, and none of the leaked statements from tech employers are relying on it.

An image showing 5 steps of the process of an illustration of a Styracosaurus from initial blobs and colors to refining and reposing and redrawing and recoloring and reprinting and reshading... until the final piece in the middle.

This little shit has had quite the journey. Some pieces can be easy, but some drag you kicking and screaming the entire way.

I got there. And I'm happy with the end result, but boy am I glad to be done.

Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said.

Good.

No. We have a few ways to remove him from office (such as impeachment and a trial in the Senate), but those require a significant chunk of Republicans to play along and just result in replacement according to chain-of-succession (Vice President), not an early election.

I'd be pretty happy to find C. That would give me enough understanding of options for the decrease recipe that I could probably adapt it to my gauge.

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Venezuela says 11 killed in US boat strike were not gang members amid reports vessel was returning to shore Interior minister says ‘murder has been committed’ while US Congress demands justification for attack

None of the 11 people killed in a US military strike on a boat in the Caribbean last week were members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, Venezuela’s interior minister has said, while US media reported the attack came after the vessel had turned around and was heading back to shore.

i think it’s wild how many people are fine with leaving their children a totally uninhabitable world that’s inevitably pitched in constant bloody conflict over who gets the last resources so they can have copilot email tone rewriting and slop memes of trump as a taco with a drooping fold.
