lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

If you go by the movies the men in black are apparently self funded through patent licenses so they might as well answer to no one.

I didn’t watch the whole way through butI scully and mulder were basically a charity case from Skinner so I bet they’re at odds with almost everyone.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

Just saw some argumentation that while the ICE raids want to whiten up the citizenry, the new H2A system protections just got gutted to make it so farm workers will have no recourse against near slavery conditions. Fucking gross and scary.

What would it take to get the major press to say that these sick fucks just want a white, patriarchal country and that they’re having fun terrorizing people of color and the queer community in the process of making it happen

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

I have someone in my mutuals who shows up as blocked when I pull up their posts, but I can like their posts in the feed. Is the bug that they blocked me and the block is broken or did the app just choke and I just have a broken connection?

My kid seems to basically not feel like dealing with people’s big feelings and I think she might just be happier alone. For now anyway. I however get lonely as all fuck immediately and have never been single for long, with many bad decisions along the way. Being single sounds smarter.
