JFC is ICE issuing Nazi cosplay for uniforms or did Herr Asshole just sew his ICE patch to a cosplay jacket he owned?
There is no such thing as responsible use of tear gas. It is an abomination and is always immoral in all circumstances.

"Kids dressed in halloween costumes walking to a parade" do not present an immediate threat to law enforcement officer and riot control measures may not be used, Ellis says.
I mean, it'd still be tacky and ugly even if it really was actual gold, but come on. We all know it isn't.
It's a small, petty, thing, but I would really REALLY like to see someone yank one of those ugly plastic "gold" decorations off the Oval Office wall and break it in half to prove it is just plastic garbage not "24 karat gold" as Trump likes to claim.
Denholm said that if it lost Musk as CEO then Tesla would definitely lose money.

I'm pretty sure the only way Tesla can ever even try to recover from the damage Musk did to the brand would be to fire him and swear never to appoint an asshole like him again. And that might not work.
Musk could leave Tesla if $1 trillion pay plan is rejected, chair warns

TIL, thanks! Now I've got to look up and see if they did it because ancient Greek used that guy sound or if it was just how Brits of the era liked to say it.
I. Wow. I had to check to make sure that wasn't BS becuase that's so mind bogglingly stupid.

I mean, limited props to her for at least endorsing Mamdani unlike the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" scum elsewhere in the Party, but JFC Gov Hochul. At least tell believable lies.
But I do think it's wrong for beggar state voters to applaud while their parasite in chief claws back some of the money California was going to spend on itself.

If they're going to do that, then we need to pull the plug on red state welfare and let CA keep all its money.
And the thing is, I'm not actually opposed to us in the economically successful (that is to say, Democratic) states supporting our fellow citizens in the Republican created poverty in their states.

I'm not even asking them to say thanks.
No, because while Trump is stupid, some of his advisors aren't and they know the adage

"Never interrupt your opponent when they are in the middle of a mistake"

Though they probably attribute it to Sun Tzu rather than Napoleon.
I'm honestly surprised they tried to bury "toss trans people to the wolves" in point 4 and in BS language rather than just saying it openly.
America clearly needs and wants immigrant labor.

There will therefore be immigrants coming here legally or not.

It's much better to admit reality (we need immigrant labor) and to have laws that make sense (allowing in the labor we need) rather than being racist idiots.
We're never going to win on being crude militant hyper aggressive border control fanatics. The Republicans are inherently better at that.

The only solution is to change the parameters and reframe the issue as an economic one of a demand for labor that will inevitably be supplied.
It's also doing the exact wrong thing about "border security".

We don't NEED better/tighter/more border security.

We need to change our archaic, racist, and obviously inadiquate immigration policy to allow the migrant workers coming to America to do so legally.
From the "this is how it starts, but not how it ends" department, Trump just had a foreign visitor with a valid visa arrested and not yet released because the visitor said something Turmp didn't like.

It starts with people the masses are willing to think deserve it. It never ends there.

Wait, I think I've confused all the sounds.

In Carroll's time it was pronounced "Guy-roscope"? So he would have been saying guy-er?
This is your regular reminder that RFK Jr believes illness and disbility are punishment for lack of virtue.

So let's ask him what sin he committed to earn spasmodic dysphonia and why he hasn't repented and been cured by regaining his virtue.

The end.
GIF with a g-sound is a hill I'll die on.

As for gyre, per Humpty Dumpty it's derived from gyroscope which gets the j sound so even I'm a) definitely wrong pronouncing it with a g, and b) I'll probably never stop pronouncing it with a g.

OTOH, Humpty's interpertation is iffy per canon, so?
More for the list of things Democrats need to do if they ever have power again:

Make all US citizenships 100% permanent and end the obscene idea of denaturalization. Once a US citizen that needs to be the end, and if it turns out someone lied or whatever that's on us for not noticing earlier.
I'm not HAPPY about the Ministry of State Security having a map of my house, but also meh. If it was the FBI or CIA I'd be worried, but I'm not Chinese, I'm not in China, the MSS has nothing to do with me.
