A brief thread on the interference with humanitarian aid to conflict zones.

Interfering with the ability of people trapped in conflict zones, to access food or healthcare,

is
a
crime
against
humanity

under the Rome Statute. This applies to anyone, acting from anywhere.

I posted this earlier but I have to post it again (thanks @rosemacready.bsky.social) because what a fucking picture this is, a wonder. Luminous, aggressive, beautiful, lyrical, arousing. What a view of oneself.

on the (1) point also, there's no one to assign. i follow a lot of federal dockets thanks to CL and unless you're fighting the Shithead Cases, or absolutely dragging the government along with tight deadline motion practice, it seems there is basically nothing happening right now

I am heartbroken 💔 Diane Keaton, the Oscar-winning actress known for a prolific career in uplifting comedies, a quirky sense of fashion, and a penchant for drinking red wine with ice cubes, has passed away at the age of 79. 🕊️🙏🏽

I have made a mistake driving, that is why i think it's so important that people not make them and why we need to use reasonable constraints to make sure they don't. Speed limits are designed for the roadway they limit. It's for the safety of human beings. It's a fine. Don't speed.

"Culturally of course, we are all, in a very real sense, Tom's children. Also in a very real and disturbing genetic sense, with some serious generational consequences for our national health."

The media don't cotton to this partly because they don't understand betting or markets, and partly because although they don't understand gambling they love it with an addict's dancing-eyed covetousness

One of the important factors behind this is these operators swallow a giant vig out of everyone's bets, because they're not really betting markets as such they mostly signals markets, taking a significant deduction for accepting bets that allow people to essentially advertise by lowering prices

In other words, there is zero evidence that the bozo eruptions over it all have affected Porter's actual odds at all

They're not odds, the markets have a tiny handful of people betting on them. None of it is insight, none of it is data. This isn't like a public securities market where market movements have predictive power

I wish I was surprised that Deadline claims it asked questions that were actually asked by me and other journalists at this James Gunn press conference. No one from Deadline even *submitted questions* for it (and I know, because I moderated). This is just brazen and sad.

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.

needs an air intake shield, needs a fake intake port, and needs a quick-release zipper pull string to get me out in a hurry; unzipping can take 10-20 seconds (also not having a long zipper pull makes it hard to get into)
