I'd really hoped to never encounter Richard "500, ok maybe 5,000, covid deaths in the US" Epstein in public discourse again. 🤦♂️
if anything, in light of later developments, we were too nice
"Kreis, along with professors @evanbernick.bsky.social and @gowder.io, anticipated [historically unfounded claims] in a Cornell Law Review piece. Their assessment of academics who suddenly discovered anti-birthright citizenship arguments is appropriately brutal." abovethelaw.com/2026/01/tort...

I'm heartened by how much the Internet has been talking about this story. Which is why it's worth noting that despite various requests for comment:
Robert Pera, Ubiquiti, the Memphis Grizzlies, the NBA, and Adam Silver have all said absolutely nothing.

Our latest deep dive with Hunterbrook Media (@truth.bsky.social) is about one of the five richest owners in sports: Robert Pera, of the Grizzlies and Ubiquiti.

I am not even talking about the state of poor white people -- I mean even the elite white people. I'm white* and grew up in relatively elite circles and you don't know what you're missing when you grow up in a racist elite. But you ARE missing out. Your life IS worse than is should be.
In the study of the struggle for civil rights in amerika, the phenomenon where low class whites turn against other underclasses is called "yeomanism" thus why the Black Panthers strove to forge bonds of solidarity across the color line
There was a Great Lie that before civil rights and diversity programs things were better for white people and things WERE NOT BETTER FOR WHITE PEOPLE, they were just BETTER COMPARED TO HOW THINGS WERE FOR OTHER PEOPLE

The marker remains, but the surroundings have changed. You'd be hard pressed to duplicate this shot: when I walked by on a weekday morning a couple weeks ago, the line to take pix with this as a backdrop was 30+ people long and the backgound was full of folks. sic transit gloria Buffet

With the recent surge in accounts there's a lot of new troll networks out there. Block early, block often.
Engagement - even critical - introduces them to your carefully built network. It gives them a route in, and more people to work on.

Shameless plug for a downloadable/customizable “teach-in” workshop I created for folks who want to advocate for the USPS in their communities and help fight against its privatization 💌 usps-teach-in.carrd.co
"Hands Off USPS" Teach-In!
A decentralized grassroots event that creates an opportunity to (1) build community and (2) provide participants with resources to take action on behalf of USPS.

I was thinking about this during this morning's coffee ride. Assuming it's not just a catch-22 (it's just a catch-22) it'll be interesting to see if active ICE presence is indicated on any of the safe-to-fly apps. I'm going to be in NOLA in a couple weeks - going to keep an eye on AutoPylot.
