Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

I just shouted, "Old man Rivers!!!" at that TD. This is why they need people like me in the booth; not a bunch of meatheads who would never scream a showtune reference.

Watching Vandy vs. Wake Forrest on, somewhat unaccountably, The CW. Anyone else expecting the chyron to say something like, "The CW. Yes, we still exist. No, not all of our former teen stars are in the Nxium sex cult"?

I mean, this stanza does exist...
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
Thanks for the reminder @joannepistonfan.bsky.social
This is my annual Christmas-song-adjacent reminder that "Africa" by Toto is a tale about one man's struggle against lycanthropy, and it is fully supported by a close reading of the text.
It also might be the plot of a lost Indiana Jones movie.

The last time Vandy won 9 games in the regular season, Nicholas II was Czar of all the Russias, America wasn’t in World War I yet and the forward pass, as a concept, was in year 3
I cannot believe this has happened and I’d rather die now than have died last week and missed this

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

This is 100% true. I clicked on an LL Bean ad that then became quite obvious was a scam. Had I been an idiot, like most people, I would have lost my credit card info.

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

“SNAP is a subsidy to low wage employers” isn’t a compelling argument once you get past the surface, but SNAP payments are definitely an important part of the revenue of grocery retailers and without that we should assume that their already escalating prices are likely to escalate more.
