I literally watched this movie today

did not take long

NEW: Judge Dale Ho appoints Paul Clement to present “friend of the court” arguments on the government’s motion to dismiss Eric Adams’s charges.

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

Fucking unhinged disgrace

Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

From Mike Davis' City of Quartz, about Nobel Prize winner and Cal Tech chairman Robert A. Millikan, some familiar chords:

Y’all, this tool from @housebudgetdems.bsky.social is 🔥, and I want to hear how the #RepublicanRipOff would hit YOUR community. I’ll go first. 🧵

Over 300 babies—who should have been born HIV-free—have now contracted the virus due to the USAID funding freeze. Many won’t live to see their first birthday. History will remember that Musk and Trump did this. #PedsSky #IDSky #MedSky #StopProject2025 www.salon.com/2025/02/04/a...

You cannot recover from this with future investments The data uncollected are lost forever

permission to amend what already was an iconic lede?

my prediction is that the clearance sale will continue. it will look more like 90s russia than 30s germany.

The Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation in North Dakota celebrated the return home of one of their members. After 49 years in prison, Leonard Peltier was granted clemency to serve the rest of his double murder sentence while at his home.

my sense is that elon musk has been living the billionaire version of the last half hour of Uncut Gems for about a decade now

Another hero fails to arrive

I think at so many orgs, the experience enduser/stakeholders trust is still the spreadsheet and the data analyst is an intermediary, so I think this doesn't go far enough. The latest wave of BI tools assume endusers are sql jockeys and they are not, and might never be.

You can be allowed, in certain circumstances with good enough reasons, to be a pseudonymous litigant. This is DOJ acting as though the head of a government agency being sued in their official capacity can be an *anonymous* litigant, unknown not just to the opposing party but the court. Insanity.

Trump announcing that he's going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on anti-drug ads shows me once again that Trump firmly believes its 1987.

In this piece I highlight just one example of one of the main (anonymous!) accounts that Elon is taking instructions from, claiming that Bill Kristol is funded by USAID... based on a total misunderstanding of what a *donor approved fund* is. There are so many examples like this.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

A USAID contracting officer (who for obvious reasons is not disclosing her identity) says a company named after its founder Philip Green almost got its federal contract cancelled because the fools at DOGE thought it had something to do with "green" energy. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

George: are you reading the news lately? planes are falling out of the sky Jerry: falling out of the sky? George: RIGHT OUTTA THE SKY! Jerry: but I'm supposed to fly to Florida to visit my parents! [Kramer bursts in] Kramer: hey Jerry, got any eggs?

Unfortunately we got dinosaurs too, its just that they are the Democratic Party leadership

A defiant Mayor Eric Adams, standing in front of a dozen elderly members of the clergy, gives a speech to the assembled media in which it gradually becomes clear that he believes all of the events that happen in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats "really happened, right here in New York."

Talk of "stolen elections," "corruption," and "DEI" are not factual claims, they are something else entirely—mythic images, which positivist punditry is totally unable to grasp or defuse www.unpopularfront.news/p/the-power-...

The Poast-Mad King

What do we think the odds are that Musk has introduced Trump to new pharmaceuticals?

Hochul's shenanigans re: congestion pricing were maddening but between this and the Adams situation I'm starting to think I'm going to like her when she's really angry.

A bit harsh tbh

*sigh* (directed at musk misinformation, not @kjhealy.co) 1) this is actually a known issue 2) SSA is *not* paying out to these numbers (they're on a 'do not pay' list) 3) it was estimated cost $5-10 million to fix so wasn't worth it as no money was actually being lost oig.ssa.gov/assets/uploa...

A large portion of grants awarded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health cannot be funded for the foreseeable future because of an indefinite hold on submissions to the Federal Register, according to an email reviewed by The Transmitter. By @avaskham.bsky.social bit.ly/3X8ngz8
