Learned about Paul Ingrassia today. A Trump appointee drink spiker that canceled his female colleagues hotel room so that she would be pressured to share a room with him. This man is supposed to be 30 years old. He looks like the G Man from Half Life.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

There's a scene in S02e04 where kima arrests a frat boy for trying to moon a car full of white college girls and, if I'm to go off of the diagetic music, I'm supposed to believe that these white girls are listening to "100% Dundee" by The Roots?

They're listening to this?

I say this every time I watch the scene but Nicky Sobotka's girlfriend's titties might be the best titties I've ever seen in tv or film. It's almost not even sexual. I'm looking at them I would look at a tiktok about satisfying calligraphy brushstrokes.

Microsoft raised the price of Game Pass to 30 bucks a month and broke the system to earn points to redeem for Game Pass. Last time I was billed for Game Pass, I was billed for 15 bucks in 2022; three years later and the price has doubled.

Black Sabre Jr. 🏆 @homunculusdick.bsky.social · Aug 6

Now that I've tasted the fruit, maybe I can do the whole Microsoft Points thing to redeem them for free Game Pass for a whole year?

My career is listening to people who flee places that get increasingly unsafe. A few months of "wait & see" can make a world of difference for safety & prospects. I've lived under authoritarianism myself.

Leticia James getting indicted, Mark Bray trying to flee & being stopped.

This is not okay.

it sometimes feels like people think the outcome of all of this is going to be, like, trump voters going on television and begging for forgiveness. that’s not what happens, and that won’t happen for several reasons.

for all the talk about how voters need to touch the stove, like, we are touching the stove. this [waves arms wildly] is what touching the stove looks like. nothing happens on a twitter timescale.
