Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

They could be doing ~90% as much substantive damage on half the pushback and political self-harm. But they're fittingly emblematic for the era of "everything has gotten dumber." They're sloppy, inept, ham-fisted. Merits aside, the Court might be at its least intellectually adept in American history.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought
An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds —  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The 30% tariff we paid on the latest shipment is gonna seem like a steal.

Well, this is why most reprints and projects were put on indefinite hold. Because who knows what fucking policy change the Mango will pull out of his ass, any given weeknight.

I did manage to make a phone trade on 10 put contracts on ACHR, $11.50 strike. It closed at $11.97, but after hours the share price went as low as $11.01. So I got some money instead of zero money.

Tesla's Full-Self Driving software is now under federal investigation, including its behavior at train crossings, after an NBC News investigation.

In September, NBC News found that Tesla owners repeatedly complained about Teslas failing to detect oncoming trains.
