This store is in El Paso, right on I-10. For years it has also had a huge mural of a cross, with the flag and assault rifles, that says Jesus is King (or Lord.) It’s not far from the busiest Wells Fargo branch (by transaction size) in the US. Weird, weird fucking country we live in.

IIRC, @andreapitzer.bsky.social might be interested.

It’s great to see phrenology making a comeback

Lawyer is Sabrina Shroff, for those asking. She proceeds to arguing that Sandwich Guy couldn’t have impeded or interfered with the mission of “high-visibility crime patrol and prevention” because he drew two dozen officers to the scene.

I feel like Sandwich guy's defense attorney may have majored in creative writing in college, because these 2 sentences are just absolutely beautiful.

“Y’all do I have to do the splits I’m Christian?” is an unusual position for a think tank but here we are

Building on the success of Garfield minus Garfield, Colombo minus Colombo. It’s just an anthology of all of the weird dysfunctional character actor stuff that happens before he shows up.

Portland taqueria feeding folks during the shutdown/immigration threats. Sounds like they could use support to keep going as well, if any Portland folks are looking for ways to help rn.

The "service" includes settings for hiding certain types of content, warning you that the skeet contains such content before you see it, or simply turning off the filter. If you've never been here before, you'll find things like "rude" or "threats" are set to "Hide".

I don’t actually know the motivations of the mysterious archive today operator, but that is a consistent trend underlying attacks against digital archivists from Aaron Swartz, the Internet Archive, scihub, etc

I said FIE, PHI, FIFO FUMBLE!

What a crazy way to learn that Nancy Pelosi is still alive.

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

Chat, what’s good in Charleston these days?

Anyway, so I had to check up on Josephine to make sure she was stocking the frozen peas correctly.*

Some of the TigerNet geniuses took exception to my suggestion that Dabo's bosses hold him to the same standards as his coworkers. One said I should "stay in my lane." So, stick to, uh not sports?

My father, who was not, AFAIK, ever a Prussian cavalry general, used to say "feed the horses before the men, and the men before the officers."

I have not forgotten that we need to return to my time working with frozen foods.

I wrote about the repulsive Zohran = 9/11 posts. Could use some help from an actual parent - Based on my own recollections of that time in my life, 4th graders are not particularly reliable. Is that a fair assessment? open.substack.com/pub/sausages...

Zohran's win is not bringing out the best in everyone! open.substack.com/pub/sausages...

so I do know a guy who works for FIFA in Switzerland and I am so so so tempted to ask him how this came about

Look, if any group of people will just politely nod but feel it's deeply in their soul it's union teachers.

Low-key the best part of this is that he is addressing the Illinois Federation of teachers

From the top rope

People love to think the public service is overpaid and with the cuts coming to the federal govt here, a lot of people who do good work that you rely on and just don’t see, will be out of jobs - and the services you rely on will be done worse by AI.

If it doesn’t already exist, there’s an essay here about how visual design is a form of analytical thinking and current rightwing aesthetics reflect a particular lack of reasoning

Bill Kristol! Grab a plate. There are still some burgers left, and we're about to start some more hot dogs.

Reminds me of pro-slavery southern voices before the civil war, like John C Calhoun. They worried about new “free states” joining the union, and losing their majority in the senate—

Oh man, these city connect uniforms are gonna rock.

Question: Obviously, the NY Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Liberty, and Rangers will have the Crest of the Gotham Caliphate on their uniforms. But the NY Jets, Giants, and sirens actually play in NJ. Will they be permitted to wear the Crest?
