I watched one jump and was like "nah, put his hands down, that's not gonna score as well as it could" - I'm already in mid-Olympics form.

I refuse to give up my country to the Fascists and refuse to let them define what an American is. That includes our participation in international competitions.

HOW IS THIS NOT IN THE OLYMPICS?!
During part of this we discussed Alpine Luge, which is an amazing sliding sport that sadly is not in the Olympics.
Anyway, here's what that looks like, with one of the greatest to ever doing it giving the demonstration down the track in Deutschnofen

I think college leadership justifies the, frankly, rampant nepotism and corruption on the grounds that it gives them the resources to aid ordinary kids, and I think that's a self-serving delusion that papers over a fundamental rot.
A guy in my class that was a bit of a dumbass got into Georgetown because his Haliburton dad got him a recommendation letter from Dick Cheney. He didn't take a single AP or IB class, and got an average SAT score.

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.
It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

Worth reading, from about the bottom of page 30 on, which is where the reported statements by AUSA Le come from.
If you want to read the transcript of the February 3 hearing where Julie Le had her "this job sucks" meltdown, now you can:

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

Insofar as the GOP is going to try to steal the election, they'll most likely do it outside or after the voting precisely because stopping the voting is actually quite difficult!
Per the EAC, 95,815 polling places were used in the 2024 elections. That's an enormous number, and it just won't do to say, "Well, they'll only go after the blue states/cities," because a) that's *still* an enormous number and b) look what just happened in a Trump+17 district in Fort Worth.

Fuck yeah, hell yeah.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

There's currently 4 games in the mixed curling round robin on. The Canadians are playing the Czechs and it looks like they're gonna handle them but the Czechs did score 3 in the 3rd end.
Anyway Bluesky should love curling, it's all about taming ICE

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

That's a powerful statement.
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

This sort of thing becoming the norm is why we're going to need tribunals. Everything these assholes have touched needs a cleansing fire.
I talked to a woman who quit an AUSA job recently. She was asked by main DOJ to dismiss a Medicare fraud prosecution because the defendant was the daughter of a girlfriend of a MAGA figure.

Counterpoint: Democrats want ICE razed more thoroughly than Carthage in 146 BC, the ideological territory in which it operates salted so thoroughly it never grows again, and every single one of these goons in front of a judge to face justice for their crimes.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
