Was planning to sleep but have pivoted to existential anxiety about sociopath billionaires wrecking billions of lives, democracy, civilization, science, culture, the planet Earth, and our perception of reality itself for funsies.

Dig the duffle coats on the US Team. The rope toggles harken back to the original military design when the Allies fought fascists. Manufacturers such as Gloverall switched to leather after the war to make the civilian versions feel more "upscale."

TL;DR: For a high profile case about a Minneapolitan, with much to do about allegedly aggressive online comments on federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, it's striking the case was moved to Michigan on charges that also seem tied to just a handful of posts allegedly involving a Michigander.
I've been looking into the case of Kyle Wagner, the man arrested earlier this week in Minneapolis on cyberstalking with interstate communications charges, and a couple things in the case, especially in the filed complaint and accompanying affidavit, stand out.

That's twice today I've seen the "transnational criminal organization" label in court actions the Trump admin & its allies are pursuing.
The first: a DOJ presser announcing charges against alleged anti-ICE activist Kyle Wagner in MN.
The DOJ says that case is part of "Operation Take Back America."

This has been without question the funniest part of watching progressive liberals discover mutual aid organizing
someone asks me to name an anarchist, I'm going to point at them and then prove to them that they already hold anarchist beliefs.
I mean. Yes I *could* but also if I did that they would kick me out of the Signal chat

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

While people who would probably qualify as liberals risk their lives in the frozen streets of Minneapolis (and do similar brilliantly organized solidarity work in New Orleans and Chicago and many other cities), not sure what this is supposed to mean.

For me, the greatest comedic role in 21st century US television
Party Down was clearly written and performed by people with extensive catering experience.
It nails the strange make up of catering teams, the absurd demands of ill-mannered clients and the amazingly simple screw-ups that can snowball during events.
