We could probably prevent a number of wars if men would listen to "Return of the Mack" daily while flexing in the mirror...

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

There are some albums and movies that I think of as “jewel boxes.” They’re not necessarily “impressive” or “ambitious,” but they’re seamless. Crystal clear in their vision and intent and flawlessly executed. Exceptionally crafted, if not spectacular. Moondance is a go-to example.

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.

Wilhoit’s Law implies that some people are not “conservative” because they believe the law should protect and bind all equally and some are not “conservative” because they’re excluded from the in-group. Balancing the demands of both is a Ds-only problem and imo central to the messaging challenge.

I haven’t really played it out, but I intuitively feel like GDP per capita multiplied by (1 minus the Gini Coefficient) could be an interesting comparison. It seems like over some spectrum it would somewhat adjust per capita GDP for inequality.

Not being argumentative, but you understand that Ohtani, for example, is not counted as $2M/yr for payroll tax purposes? He’s on the books as $2M plus the Net Present Value of the remaining $68M. That was the penguin’s point—the tax benefit of deferrals is much more player focused than team focused.

I call the ‘25 team the Refuse to Lose Dodgers. They were not a juggernaut! Hard to watch for most of the summer, didn’t clinch until 9/25, played a WC series, almost lost the WS about 250 times…but just would not go down. I know it feels inevitable after the fact, but they weren’t invincible.

Eyewitness account:
Good morning,
My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction.
I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend.
As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it.
We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.
