Honestly, while this is not as good as winning, at this point the way the season is going, the more this kind of blunt self-assessment all around the better. The time for spin is past. #RedSox

I want to see that Eguino/Proud Boys video but since whoever was quoted blocked it, it’s inaccessible to anyone else looking at the post.

So Akismet just informed me they’re going to charge me for spam comment protection because I have a link to my Patreon on my Wordpress blog. Any good alternatives? Or should I just turn comments off forever?

I would just like to say fuck Jonathan Greenblatt and fuck the ADL. Any good they did in the past has been completely washed away. They do not speak for me.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

The blockbuster horror film "Sinners" features the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians in a short, impactful scene. For some Choctaw, it is the first time they've heard their language and seen their culture accurately portrayed on screen.

Boosting this again as this morning they told us that all 180+ ppl across the entire office are, to quote my lead, "in danger." I need health insurance or I will, in fact, die!

It’s unusual for a defendant in a lawsuit to voluntarily increase a negotiated settlement, but city councilors said they felt compelled to pay more.

So to review: 1. He never should have been deported. The admin admitted that. 2. The admin said he was an MS-13 member and also they couldn’t get him back. They lied. 3. They are now charging him with a crime that they did not mention until literally now.

Every ten minutes, the same 10 failed conservative politicians backed by the same dozen rich guys create a new political front group that is exactly the same as all the other ones.

My heat tolerance trajectory continues the downward trend, and it’s clear that I should not leave the house once it reached 80°F and sunny. But, sure, doc: my fatigue is a lack of strength training.

A 🧵: City Council did something unique yesterday. Faced with an already-unusual type of settlement - one with 27 plaintiffs, and focusing on the historic wrong of intentional displacement through "urban renewal" in Albina ~60 years ago - Council amended the amount live and passed the ordinance. 1/

I get why these articles are important but there need also to be more articles by and about #ActuallyAutistic people who are failures rather than successes. Who don’t have careers, or jobs. Or any potential for these things. Else it becomes judgmental, “Why can’t you do/be that?”

Okay, bix.blog has been transferred to @porkbun.com where I manage all my other domains. This means it’s no longer free as part of Automattic’s “dotblogger” program, but it feels more mine now. (Also, no renewal until 2030, which is nice.)

Big data centers in Oregon were paying less than half the cost for power that residential customers were paying. A new bill on the governor's desk would require giants like Amazon and Facebook to pony up more for power and infrastructure.
