This is getting wild.

The states of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and 14 others have just asked for permission to file THEIR amicus brief in IL v. Trump.

The States of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and 14 additional States
respectfully move for leave to submit the attached amicus curiae brief in support of Defendants
and their opposition to Plaintiffs’ requested temporary restraining order and preliminary
injunction. Proposed amici are States with a vested interest in federalism, the relationship between
States and the federal government, and deploying the National Guard. We also each have a vital
interest in supporting the President and Congress in enacting and enforcing valid immigration
laws. Every State has a responsibility to protect our citizens.
The federalization of States’ National Guard units is a matter of profound public
importance, as it directly implicates the delicate balance of power between state and federal

response or public safety. Federalization of state National Guard units without gubernatorial

I have seen Portland's true face.
The streets are extended bike lanes and the bike lanes are full of leaves and when the drains finally clog, the pedestrians will slip.

And all the bikers and joggers and unicyclists will look up and shout "save us!"

And I'll look down and whisper "sure, of course"

The plot of the next Simpsons movie should be the kids at Springfield Elementary digging up a time capsule that was buried 40 years ago and realizing they're the same children who buried it because their world hasn't aged in 4 decades.

The thing about "prompt engineering" is that you don't even need AI to do it. Just write the prompt. I can write stegosaurus-with-huge-naturals.jpg and your mind does the rest

Listen, fritos serve a specific purpose - Juanita's aren't structural enough for a walking taco.

I won't compromise on tortilla chips. They're all the same. If someone is selling them for $1.99, everyone can sell them for $1.99.

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

i am catching up on the moderation discourse and it’s really annoying that this episode basically goes back to leadership trying to have a goof and a gag. there’s not a lot of room-reading happening which comes across as immature and unprofessional

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.
