Clarifying and answering some of your questions about #grok doxxing me. Thank you @noelleperdue.bsky.social and @404media.co for reporting this story. Stay safe, my friends, and FUCK GROK 💚

I feel like it's a good time to restate that my rapist was never prosecuted by the Republican DA at the time for Tarrant County in Texas, who served for 3 decades. In fact he had some of the lowest prosecution rates for SA and rape cases. Republicans have always defended rapists and predators.

Won’t happen while markets are open, so this window can likely be narrowed to Friday night through Sunday night EST.

Some predictions for what comes next w.r.t. 🇻🇪 — will be interesting to see how accurate in the coming weeks/months: - SDNY fails to convict Maduro and/or Flores on most charges (weapons ones seem weakest) - Machado is sidelined and next leader is installed w/o popular vote […]

The full clip is somehow worse than the quotes. His aide announced her name and age and he just… forgot?

It really blows my mind that commercial aviation has become so safe. Like, statistically my own body is more likely to kill me than the flying metal tube with wings that I’m stuffed into and that’s incredible

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Lindsey Graham is hell bent on keeping the government closed. God forbid we get some folks their food stamps & affordable healthcare & on-time flights this holiday season.

Russian fuel shortages have been an under-recognized factor in the future conduct of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s legitimacy has been anchored by a social contract in which Russians have been saved from the shortages that characterized the post-Soviet 90s. A return could be very politically fraught

Nice to know that targeting a billionaire Jewish person and their charity for “control” of politics is fair game, while demanding an end to the starvation and bombing of 1M kids is antisemitism… apple.news/AKtRXl9RdQoi...

“A friend wrote some time ago that, 'One day the Yad Vashem of Gaza will be erected' - a reference to the Holocaust memorial and museum in Jerusalem. "When I read that, I said to myself: I want to be on the team that erects the Yad Vashem of Gaza."” Worth a read… www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

The ways that we treat our dead can tell us a lot about who we are as people. We see this both past and present through our archeology & our contemporary mourning rituals. However, it’s also reflected in the way we treat the unknown dead that we may only be connected to through a physical space.

This is why I said the strike is about regime change. As late as May, DIA said Iran had not restarted its nuclear weapons program. When asked about that, Rubio said the intelligence was "irrelevant." It's only irrelevant if the problem is the regime, not the program. 16/17

⚠️ Confirmed: Metrics show a government-issued internet shutdown in effect in the main banana-producing region of #Panama, Bocas del Toro province, as authorities restrict freedom of movement to allow warrantless arrests targeting protests and strikes by the banana workers' union

⚠️ Update: Iran's internet shutdown has now passed the 48 hour mark; metrics show the nation has been offline for more than two days, leaving loved ones out of touch and citizens ill-informed about the state of conflict with Israel ⏱️

For people with darker skin injured at protests, and the lawyers representing them:

This is important: IAEA chief says there is radiological and chemical contamination in Natanz. 18/

Great, Operation Polar Cyclone, great.

Something I’ve been mulling even prior to the UH CEO shooting: If you’re like me and invest our retirement money in broad-market index funds, you’ve directly benefited from the terrible behavior of these companies. UnitedHealth is the fifth largest F500 firm by market cap. Same w/ O&G, REITs, etc.

This morning’s events in Seoul were a surprise to many of us, but I’d strongly recommend this short read to help you understand the through lines that brought South Korea to this moment. Thanks to @heesoojang.bsky.social for the insightful explanation

Thank you for sharing! Agreed, it’s a gross over simplification of behavioral analytics. I built a system to predict behavioral patterns in the retail environment almost 15 years ago. Of course even then, the retailers wanted to use it to “identify potential shoplifters.” 🫣
