The constant struggle between my anti-carceral beliefs and this country’s need to chase down white collar crime like CBS cops chasing a straggly serial killer who leaves rhyming clues and just offed beloved number 4 on the call sheet.

Nevada could’ve fined Elon Musk’s Boring Co. more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

It's true! I used to go on my way home from church, the hats were the tipoff (and they were just so nice to look at, too, I longed for the gravitas to wear one)

This is true and they are super endangered by poachers who shovel them up by the hundreds and sell them at flea markets and shit. You should not buy the plants and if you happen to kick the poacher in the shins on accident, no one will hear about it from me.

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

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 person who punched Richard Spencer and instantly made him a meme never got caught. Just threw one punch and skipped off into immortality. I think about that a lot.

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things:

you don't get to talk about it.

you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story.

it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

Bluesky was all “Everything being public is great, blocklists and labelers are fine, you can’t make an omelette without breaking eggs!” until their CEO got called out using that public information. User who called her out? Permabanned. Labeler lists? The maker ”voluntarily“ dismantled it. Mm-hmm

Today we have naming of parts. Yesterday
I had eaten the plums that were in the icebox
That today you were expecting for breakfast,
Which in your case you have not got.
Forgive me, they were delicious, so sweet and so cold.

Another reason to mask at protests, aside from COVID safety and protection from doxxing, is that a lot of responsible documenters don't want to publish protesters' faces (esp without their consent) right now. Your face being in a shot may prevent people from sharing a worthwhile image publicly.

This has been my assumption and belief for many years - civilian control, whether it be from Mayors or Governors, over police is effectively limited to whatever discretionary control they have over the police budget.

Personally, I suspect it's both. Pritzker was never going to directly confront Trump in any material way. But at the same time, I don't think there is effective civilian control over the police at basically any level, in any state. They follow instructions and laws when they want to, and ignore/
