They never give the name of the bystander, Ahmed el Ahmed, and they never note that he’s Muslim.
Other outlets have done so, but not the NYT.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

Hello. This is the ghost of Leonard Cohen, inviting you to come on down to Ghost of Leonard Cohen Used Cars.

One of our Shakopee observers witnessed ICE pepper spray a baby today in Chanhassen.
(Yes. You read that right.)
The agent knew the baby was there. ICE does not make our communities safer. End Operation Metro Surge NOW!

Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.
The thing about measles is that it’s the only known virus that triggers immune amnesia - it causes your immune system to forget everything it has previously learned. Meaning you essentially reset to zero and are now at risk of basically everything.
It can take 2-3 years to get immunities back.

i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves.

His wife is a PhD researcher at the U (see the article). So Spies must have had a proper visa, married to a recruited academic. What was the point of this, exactly?
