Interesting @wired.com article but translating it from Italian went awry. Whoever/whatever did the translation rendered the title of the classic Mel Brooks film YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN as -- FRANKENSTEIN JUNIOR, which was a crazy CBS cartoon of the 60s. www.wired.com/story/we-are...

Justice Sotomayor's dissent in Skrmetti (which she's now reading from the bench) is deeply pained, accusing her colleagues of abandoning "transgender children and their families to political whims" and badly damaging "bedrock" principles of equal protection. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The regime has posted signs at Manzanar, the WWII concentration camp for Japanese Americans, asking visitors to report "negative" historical interpretations. Hard to imagine a positive interpretation but it's probably just an excuse to shut down the park. www.sfgate.com/california-p...

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

I think one of the reasons you hear so much visceral anger coming from Dems about politics these days is bc for years now we’ve been expected to respond with dignity and respect (which we do) when political violence touches the GOP. But when it touches us - we get the Mike Lee’s of the world.

If you’re in LA in a public space this month and someone tries to get you to sign a petition about wages and voting DO NOT SIGN IT. this is businesses trying to repeal an ordinance that increases wages for workers in hospitality spaces ahead of the Super Bowl, World Cup, & Olympics. Do not sign!

@visscherlab.bsky.social was once a nerdy kid from Alabama. Thanks to great public schools & NIH funding, she grew up to fight Alzheimer’s & restore sight. This is what American science makes possible. When we fight for science, we fight for each other. ❤️ #StandUpForScience zurl.co/qRS11

In all six tests of self-driving mode, the car "blew through school bus stop signs at full speed, running over the manikins and driving off — completing a hit-and-run."

If you’re nervous about protesting, you’re not alone. I’m nervous, too. But I’m going — because mass protest is essential to drive change. If you’re not sure about going tomorrow, ask yourself this: Will it be safer to protest in a week? In a month? In a year? Will it even be allowed? #NOKINGS

Tied between when I asked former NBC anchor John Chancellor if people tell him he looks like John Chancellor, and when I told Dick Cavett there was a piece of paper stuck to his pants.

We need answers about what happened on Alderaan and assurances from the Empire that it won’t happen again.

Agree on both points. 1) States control most criminal prosecutions. Calif state charges for physical assault OF A US SENATOR in state's biggest city. 2) Dems in US Senate need to stand up on this one. This didn't happen even in days Faubus/Wallace/Maddox/Bull Conner resisted fed authority in 60s

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

Tonight someone here wished I'd get run over by a Waymo, so that was novel. I will never be David Simon when it comes to lighting people up, but a guy can dream.

Today I reread a script I wrote in 2001, and apparently back then I knew that a major perpetrator of Medicare fraud was the Russian mob.
