“Little League Home Run” is poetry.

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Less than 10 minutes in to the #Warriors #Rockets game, and the refs have, voluntarily, lost control of this game. If they don't tighten it up at least a little, someone's going to have a season ending injury.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

The refs finishing the game with 2 imaginary fouls on the #Warriors.

To be fair, “We fucked it up, and we feel no obligation to fix it” has been a foundational Republican philosophy for decades. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Fuck. This is incredibly scary...

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

Someone at Apple wrote this help page, saying essentially, "The only way to make someone the default user on an Apple TV is to delete the current default user and add new one". And thought, "Oh yeah, that seems fine."

Posted by @jamessurowiecki.bsky.social: “Scott Bessent claiming that the S&P 500 dropping 11% in two days doesn't have much to do with the president's economic policies is some true Baghdad Bob stuff.”

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

Trump’s tariffs are ripped apart by famously liberal rag… The Economist?

Kiké Hernandez rips a deep home run, another demonstration that the Dodger's Utility Infielder, who plays a few days a week is a better hitter than the "hitters" on most teams. I'm not a #Dodgers fan, but I think that future generations are going to look at this team as the 2nd "Murderer's Row".

I was furious last season when Lindor wasn't an All-Star & disappointed that the Mets didn't make him Captain. He put the #Mets on his back & dragged them to the World Series. But if he wants to change either of those things, he needs to play well at the beginning of the season, too. #LGM

You cannot understand the Signal story if you don't remember that Trump had a call on the proper USG channels and an intelligence analyst reviewed it and realized he needed to report a crime. That got Trump impeached. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/signa...

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat. 2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat. 3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

The best part of public utilities is how their websites never, ever work right, and force you to call their support number, which they have understaffed. So you wind up spending an hour listening to a recording telling you how much time you would save if you used their broken website instead.

Quite literally, how all Ponzi schemes work. stocks.apple.com/AvrWxre7vTPG...

The news media gave more coverage to the idea Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard after 20 years was scandalous than to Trump's promise to destroy the department of education

Look I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but if you’re a liberal and the president is like “We are going to detain and deport this guy for protesting” the correct response is not “Protesting what?”

Today's Corporate doublespeak: @microsoft.com just sent me an email, opening with how they are "committed to improving my Microsoft 360 subscription", and then listing all the features they are removing. I don't use Skype or Publisher, but how is this, "improving" my subscription?

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Tesla lost enough value today that it could have fully funded USAID for a year.

He means, "Now attractive to short," right? It's still valued higher than it was a year ago. And a year ago, it was massively overvalued. stocks.apple.com/A9J_Xr9bdQLW...

The U.S. has two tsunami warning centers, both operated by NOAA. Employees were terminated from these centers today. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center covers Hawaiʻi, and now it is less safe to be near the beach. www.tsunami.gov

It turns out, if you ask companies that sell AI, big and small, they all agree that AI makes them more efficient and that AI will make everyone a lot of money. Especially if you buy it from them. The NY Times still covers nothing worse than they cover Silicon Valley. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/t...
