I was reminded earlier today that I need to reconstruct my Twitter thread over here at some point on our backyard bird creek we made many years ago. Pinning this as point to start from whenever I can get to it. In the meantime, enjoy this fall Kinglet Pool Party. #birds

ISU: everything was going great when we made Eteri coach of the year and handed out undeserved PCS and GOE to her skaters, it’s a shame that she got caught doping and one of her skaters lost it and called her a cunt on international TV

If I was designing math classes for people who hate math, and had small enough class sizes, I’d just run a D&D game that required the students to work out things like that. “Okay, you’re heading for the castle. It’s 75 meters away and 61 meters up. Do you think you’ll need climbing gear?”

Right now *I* need to come up with rent money, and we need to come up with enough for my flatmate to get back to Canada to see her dad/deal with his affairs when the time comes, and I just... have no fucking clue how. It's just one thing after another.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Call me a stickler, but I do not think former Supreme Court clerks who are now practicing lawyers with *multiple cases* pending before the Court should be publishing fawning op-eds about how “kind, humble, thoughtful and selfless” their old boss is
Samuel Alito Is a Great Man, According to a Former Alito Clerk Arguing Cases at the Supreme Court
Ben Aguiñaga, Louisiana’s solicitor general, has appeared before the justices three times this term. In an op-ed, he describes his old boss as “kind, humble, thoughtful and selfless.”

The gallup presidential approval poll is an institution in American politics that predates world war 2. With Trump’s approval in the 30s, they’re ending it. thehill.com/homenews/med...

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

Open questions remain, and we're in communication with witnesses & SPPD to get those questions answered. If the city finds that any laws—at all—were broken by ICE, SPPD needs to hold those agents accountable. If you have any information, please share it with us here or at [email protected].

I’ve never felt unsafe in this bougie neighborhood a day in my life. This is a 25 mph zone, full of fancy bars and restaurants, a curling club, salons, boutiques, and one of the busiest coffee shops around. They are doing their damndest to wreck everything here.
This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

NEW: Arkansas bars public officials who've been appointed by the governor to seek a full term for their position.

The 2 justices appointed by Governor Sanders are using a way around that — they're just running for each other's seats.

I wrote on Arkansas' supreme court races coming up in March:
Conservatives Play Musical Chairs to “Cement” Majority on Arkansas High Court - Bolts
How seat-switching, plus a new state law, is helping gubernatorial appointees reap the benefits of incumbency before they’ve earned it from voters.
