NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest “Stop resisting” “He’s not resisting” Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions

UNDERGROWTH - The King of the Crows was once a noble and trusted leader but he has long been consumed by the Cordyceps, Mold and Rot. His old name has slipped into history, all that remains is the King of Decay.

This is what is called a "speaking complaint." There's more here than a well-pleaded habeas case. Of note, a judge in a habeas case can't order the admin to do more than release the petitioner (though he can order less). But with so many eyes on it, this is an opportunity to raise political support.

we need some kind of "NOT NOW," meme in the spirit of the "SILENCE," crab for when some stupid politics bullshit drops in the middle of still trying to process the previous politics bullshit. this is an experience i've had twice in the past hour btw. crustaceans are my only hope

www.theverge.com/news/629678/... None of this needed to happen. Olivex took a bullet proof, decade plus old game with a group of world class staff and drove it into a wall because something something NFTs. I’m heartbroken for friends and colleagues. And I’m so angry that this keeps happening

Cybertrucks have built-in cameras, so with the fash threatening protesters, it's best not to get too close, even to engage in the treasured national pastime of gently plastering them with deli meat and/or cheese. Completely unrelatedly, I just thought of the cool new phrase "Bologna Cannon"

Columbia has an estimated $14,400,000,000 in endowment. Even if Trump's goon squad never backs down, they can survive for decades and their wealthier-than-average alumni can make up the difference en masse.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Time and time again translators are pointing out how machine translation produces terrible quality work, but it's normally the translators who are forced to make it somewhat readable for pennies, while middle men pocket the profits.

Think about that 60-some-year-old South Korean senator who was literally climbing over walls to vote for impeachment as martial law was imposed in the country and then looking at…. Chuck Schumer.

cheaper than movie tickets nowadays and better than most movies that come out nowadays, too

There's 6 weeks left to secure a spot in the 2025 Access-Ability Summer Showcase. If your game has a focus on accessibility for disabled players, and you'd like it spotlighted to a targetted audience of gamers looking for accessible video games, reach out. No fee for involvement.

Michelle Martin put on a masterclass on NPR on how to interview government officials that lie and deflect. She kept pushing, asking, and calling out the lies of DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar about the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil . one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5326...

Almost $250,000 raised in 1 day for Mahmoud. Ofc he deserves support but this disproves the idea that ppl do not have enough money to donate to Palestinians in Gaza, who are being starved thru a brutal siege. If you gave to Mahmoud plz give to them: chuffed.org/project/1133...

The new McCarthyism proceeds apace. To be clearer than the NYT headline: a Palestinian legal scholar was accused by a shady substack publication that uses AI of being a terrorist & Yale immediately suspended her with no investigation into veracity or due process of any kind. Fun times!!!

you are not alone.

honest-to-god, Expelled is one of the most fearlessly feminist works of art I've come across in a long time. The historical details are on point and it's ruled by a cast of fierce women and girls. It's also a game that discusses class privilege without flinching. It's so much more than play.

My colleague Nadia Abu El-Haj and I spoke just now at a press conference outside the courthouse after the first hearing to contest the disappearance and detention of Mahmoud Khalil youtu.be/ZDdwd2XB8_E?...

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

Did you know there's a petition you can use to harass many members of the Columbia University administration at once? FINISH THEM

Elon Musk is so rattled by the grassroots Tesla protests that he’s blaming George Soros and a guy who died 5 years ago. Go to TeslaTakedown.com to find a protest near you.

Can't say I'm surprised, but as always This Sucks

I hope to somewhat regularly share something that brightens my day to counteract The Horrors, and one of those things is STICK NATION. Who doesn't like cool sticks? Look this one is a VIKING STICK

From “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler #skybrary #skybrarians #booksky

Yet still in an email today, interim president Armstrong said: "we are committed to working with the federal government to address their legitimate concerns." The "legitimate concerns" of an administration that calls their political opponents "globalists"? 🙄 Stanning fascism is the point I guess.

I am going to try to be more active on social media again so I guess I will try to look presentable. Ugh

He stood alone with courage in the face of tyranny.

When staff & lead/production teams have no faith in hitting a date & you have no data to support the assertion that you *can* hit a date, insisting that you *must* hit a date will result in ppl making bad calls & doing bad work they will eventually spend twice as much time undoing.
