Please enjoy this table of possible future scenarios from a 1990s paper in a peer-reviewed journal on how to deal with nuclear waste storage in underground repositories in New Mexico. I found it while doing research for an article on nuclear waste storage. "WIPP" means "Waste Isolation Pilot Plant".

I was at a bar or bat mitzvah at a hotel in the 90s and I saw Mick Jagger getting off an elevator. I yelped 'Ahh that's Mick Jagger!!!' but no one else there knew who he was.

We were sharing speeches on the People’s mic at an Occupy protest. Heard a familiar voice. Turned around and it was… Lou Reed!

I helped Crispin Glover retrieve his phone after he dropped it in portable toilet at the beach. I held him by the ankles and lowered him in. He was able to fish it out. And it was still working!

Even though it's tiring, I think it's essential to consistently point out that this is illegal.

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

You’ll be too young to remember, but there was a time when you could wake up as many as three mornings in a row and not find the world had lost its fucking mind.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

Senator Padilla's assault is horrific, but he's telling us all that what moved him to question Noem was her explicitly stating the Feds were there to take control of the city from its democratically-elected government. The Senator obviously wants us to focus on Noem's nullification of CA government.

To be fair, Cuomo has much more executive experience than Zohran when it comes to sexually harassing women, intimidating those who speak out, and helping Republicans maintain control of his state's legislature.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

DO NOT DO THIS sitting down in the middle of a riot (or protest) is fucking dangerous if the cops are using their less-lethal correctly, then your head is now where body shots should be you are at risk of being trampled to death by the crowd you are at risk of being trampled to death by a horse

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

this image of the FBI at the orders of the state to arrest an elected politician for just asking the DHS secretary a question needs to be spread for the next 4 years when talking about the fascism of this administration

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

So ICE is now more powerful than a sitting US senator? I hope every democrat congressperson stands up for their colleague and demands accountability for what happened to Alex Padilla. They won’t but I wish they would.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

YouTube has been the biggest source of radicalization for extremists out there. Start watching a video about hunting or guns and next thing you know, you're getting recommended far right content pushing conspiracy theories. This is so incredibly dangerous. www.techspot.com/news/108255-...

Something that I think weighs on many is that everyone knows that if ever the Democrats were fully in power at the Federal level again, they will not immediately move to reverse what has been destroyed and build something new. This reality just sits out there like an anchor.

Thousands of New Yorkers march in lower Manhattan calling for ICE out of New York. Starting at Foley Square and organized by PSL, the masses have flooded the streets and are moving west. This demo is permitted but even if it wasn’t, it would be far too large for NYPD to contain.

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary
