I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Okay. That makes a lot more sense. Less cool, but more logical.

It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Thinking about switching from political podcasts to true crime. And maybe history. I don’t know…just kicking it around for the sake of sanity.

Shudder

It’s also a completely batshit way to think of morality. And childish. And weird af.

The Balloon Glow and Race is wonderful, but sadly it is when throngs of people entering Forest Park from Union are subjected to the misery of no sidewalks on Grand Dr.
Also please don't bring a car if you can avoid it.
