With respect, Tara, no one in their right mind who was just federally indicted would discuss the factual details of their case.

Donald Trump does that kind of thing because he is Donald Trump. That resulted in a criminal conviction and a civil fraud loss at trial, as well as gag orders.

I just had a Katie Porter moment with congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh. The interview lasted 3 minutes.

Trump's FCC just scrapped a Biden-era cap on the maximum price of prison phone calls between inmates and their families.

Telecom and private prison companies — which donated to Trump's campaign — lobbied for the rollback.

This regime's cruelty and corruption knows no bounds.

There once was a king, Ozymand
Who bragged about all he’d command.
Trying to fill his foes with fright he
Said “Look on my works, ye mighty!”
But now it’s all trunkless legs and sand.

Pete Smith @reddite.bsky.social · 1d

I heard there was a statue tall
That sneered at folk and commanded all
But you don't really care for symbols do ya
It goes like this the feet the fist
The head that fell the aim that missed
The long lost king whose name was Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymandias
Ozymaaaaandias

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"

Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.

The human brain is resilient. While you're watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you're accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).

When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

A dangerous move. From the WSJ.

WASHINGTON-The Pentagon has ordered the National Guard to create "quick reaction" forces in every state and territory by January that are trained and equipped to respond to riots and civil unrest within the U.S., according to internal
Defense Department memos.
The riot control units are a major shift for the Pentagon, underscoring the Trump administration's push to directly involve the military in responding to demonstrations and other domestic missions that have been off-limits except in emergencies.
