I'm so appreciative that Jacob Tierney took the time to chat with me a few days before the #HeatedRivalry finale about finding the right cottage, those new end credits, his broad ideas for Season 2, and more:

In case you're unclear on what JD Vance is trying to do here maybe it will help to recall Italian writer Ignazio Silone's 1938 description of what fascism is:

“Fascism is a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.”
JD Vance: "In the United States of America you don't have to apologize for being white anymore"

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

People, I need this one off my desk.

More to the point, this struggling young family needs to replace their windshield. They have to chauffeur two babies around.

Surely I have 7 moots with CashApp who can afford $50 each?
Now, tonight's local urgent needs. Just one.

I need 7 people with CashApp who can afford to give a family in need $50 each. Their windshield is badly damaged, and replacement will be ~$400.

They're raised $50 toward it; 7 ppl matching it will cover it.

CashApp ONLY, here: yoursbTruly

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!”

And

I hate to say it

But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas

Quit.

Hey friends, I've been trying to make it work without asking for help, but unemployment just isn't enough. I'm about a grand short for the month, but if we could raise $500 this week it would solve a lot of problems. Thanks for any help!

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

I was once tempted to make a spreadsheet of Psych, Deadwood, Justified, and Supernatural actors.
Me watching every episode of supernatural: what episode of psych was that actor on?

It's not a badge of honor when books get banned. It stinks for everyone. For the book creators, who worked hard to create something special that now won't be shared. The kids who miss out. The librarians and teachers who are treated like criminals. And taxpayers who have to pay for this nonsense.
