COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

with the reality backdrop that the underlying "AI" doesn't actually do a lot of the stuff they claim, and the layoffs are likely not due to AI (yet), but the economic hardships created by their own bad choices (like broadly misrepresenting AI, or supporting government-wrecking authoritarians)

I "enjoy" this disconnect between tech titans claiming that AI will have us all eating pastries and working two days a week and the reality of firing people en masse while simultaneously supporting fascists who oppose universal basic income and are actively destroying the social safety net

reality is very upsetting to the right wing so they are spending a ton of time and money building an alternate reality safe space to delude themselves into believing they aren't unpopular assholes
New: Elon Musk appears to have just launched "Grokipedia," billed as a more right-leaning rival to Wikipedia: grokipedia.com

Story to come. If you try it out, I'd be interested to hear what you find.

Spent a few days in Indianapolis, and made sure I paid a visit to St. Elmo Steak House, home of the "world-famous, sinus-clearing shrimp cocktails". Oh yeah, that is some mighty fine horseradish — if a shrimp cocktail doesn't do damage to your sinuses, it ain't worth eatin'. Bravo!

When ICE comes to Philly it’s going to be brutal
Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

jesus christ man, we can’t ever get used to this and normalize it.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

Rich media, poor democracy
The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

yes! how can *both sides* turn down the temperature when one side keeps dousing everything in accelerant?
It's also prepping for the establishment just capitulating further, once these assholes are out of power, under the guise of "turning down the temperature."
i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.
He doesn’t get it.
It’s not HIS house.
It’s OUR house.
We just let him live there.

God, I hope we can back Congress next year and then kick his disgraceful ass out.
I’ve long thought that building has too much baggage. It should be turned into a museum, and we should build a new HQ elsewhere — preferably without “white” in the name.
I’ve always said that, as children, we’d fight to not take naps and, as adults, we’d pay good money to take one.

One of my only remaining joys is that every single time Amy Coney Barrett makes a stupid argument, Ketanji Brown Jackson gets a chance to follow up and illustrate her stupidity.
And this will happen again, and again, for the rest of Barrett's life.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Tish James is a strong and moral leader who has served New York with integrity and I sincerely hope this case is dismissed so she can keep protecting us.
Will look into it! Thanks!
Only one that comes to mind is “The Name of the Rose”.

My god.

“Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

Mighty nice! 👏🏻
Yesterday, I hit a milestone. ¡Uno grande!
One of my all-time favorite lines from Doctor Who is: "Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind." I think of it often, especially in these days.
