Giving this a little bump because apparently a lot of folks missed it and some other folks are *really determined* to find someone to blame for it. Despite me explaining it's just crap luck and there's no one to blame.
*sigh* Yeah. About that.

If you hadn’t already seen, as of this morning the audiobook version of GOD's JUNK DRAWER has been pushed back to January 20th because it’s been dealing with a sort of rolling technical difficulty. I’m so very sorry.
Ahhhh, audiobook delayed?

Here's the post Benny released that day, accusing all 11 -- none of whom were charged -- with being domestic terrorists.

Benny staged a photo of what he said were 11 "rioters" who were arrested. Bovino tackled one of them for...nothing.

Only they weren't arrested. They were held all day, asked some Qs, then dropped off at a gas (petrol) station nearby.

These people don't show up on list of people arrested that day.

Benny Johnson shows up 8 times in Sara Ellis' opinion, partly by capturing Noem and Bovino saying illegal shit.

The only response is, "So you're saying service members SHOULD comply with illegal orders?"

This should be embarrassing.

"Senators, did you or did you not plainly state the law and direct service members to resources that will protect them?"

Also, the vast majority of folks at the FBI really are quite professional (hasn't always been true) and are the first to recognize what bs this is.
MS NOW confirms: The FBI is working with Capitol Police to schedule interviews with the six Democratic lawmakers who urged service members to refuse to comply with illegal orders.

i mean not the main point but a beard doesn't just... rip off? like i guess you could tear out some hair or whatever, but it doesn't just rip away in a big clump like in a cartoon or whatever?
The depositions from the batshit CBP and ICE officials in Chicago have been unsealed. Here's how Russ Hott denied actually knowing anything about one of the weirder claims they made: that a protestor had ripped someone's beard off.

For those saying there will be no consequences for Bovino.

Maybe.

But DOJ has had to dismiss a slew of cases bc of this, and Bovino seems to now spend his time trolling on Xitter (he likes to call me "empty tire" when I note he's an adjudged liar).
Here's how Greg Bovino denies tackling Scott Blackburn, while watching a video showing him tacking Scott Blackburn.

The BBC's has responded in The Guardian that this was a routine editorial decision, but also that it was made on legal advice. Those two explanations don’t fit together. /1
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

When I think "where the vast majority of Americans actually are," I think about the millionaire lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein & Harvey Weinstein & Donald Trump who was recently in the news for threatening to sue a pierogi seller in Martha's Vineyard, where he has one of his homes.

Meanwhile, a neighbor who attended the presser (and asked not to be named for safety concerns) voiced the concern that immigration raids would be used to clear South Shore and similar communities of people of color and low-income residents.

Moments ago: tenants of the South Shore apartment building that federal immigration agents raided at the end of September held a presser to announce they're forming a tenants union.

They're demanding, among other things, sewage removal and heat and electricity restroration.

More updates TK.

Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

They're from the tests in Yucca Flat 300 miles away. Bright enough that they were visible all the way out here.

And they happened often enough that there are a lot of these photos. The LA Public Library and USC photo collection have a bunch of them.

Two photos taken from Downtown L.A.

They're from the L.A. Herald Examiner in 1951 and 1952. One from the Herald's roof, the other, I don't know, west of Downtown, maybe?

Not particularly remarkable. Kind of boring, really. Unless you know what they are.

They're nukes.
