Listen up nerds, MENACE is good. It's like if you smashed modern XCOM or Jagged Alliance into the idea of Advanced Squad Leader in the most successful way.

Using words like "today, a rape accusation is enough to justify a trial" is spectacularly ill-judged when justice fails most victims of that crime.

wow this is gorgeous

spent a couple of weeks in manchester on the trail of matt goodwin. why has nobody seen him? how do you fight a politics that lots of people absentmindedly agree with? and - you know - does he secretly want to remigrate me? www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

unfortunately Rumsfeld's "known unknowns" bit is actually...a really insightful and reasonable way to look at planning for dangerous situations. I think about it all the time in my work. Pity he didn't actually understand what he was saying.

this entire division is cooked. its impossible to look at the timing, bond's complete departure and the credentials of spencer's replacement and not assume it's a sinking ship

noooo there's still a huge pile of the last lot from a month ago right behind my carrrrrr

“One of the hallmarks of fascism, from the beginning, has been denouncing rational consistency as bourgeois, or effeminate” - @mark-bray.bsky.social

Here’s my review of my time with Virtual Boy this week: an absurdity that I love, and a museum of immersive gaming ideas that still feel weirdly present www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/...

Alysa Liu, daughter of a Chinese refugee and pro-democracy activist, brings glory to the USA. 🇺🇸 🥇

I covered cross-border human trafficking for years and I'm not sure a headline has ever made me madder

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

we couldn't use government funds to buy coffee (like, folgers ground coffee) when i worked on a CDC outbreak emergency response

saw Crime 101 and it was every bit as enjoyable as I'd heard. kinda Heat-lite (Heat Jr.? Baby's First Heat?) but Halle Berry is so good it almost gets a little Jackie Brown-ish at times. plus Barry Keoghan is a wonderfully chaotic little goblin, I love him

och I've never been so happy

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Did a little acoustic cover of Charli xcx’s Altars, which is such a great song

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void. Here’s the Cato Institute report: www.cato.org/blog/cato-st...

love that the NBA all star game now has 3 teams: - young lads - old lads - lads who aren’t from round here

Matt Weston! I only heard of you on Friday but you're a bloody hero! ANOTHER GOLD FOR GB

🔥 “To me, when we're talking about what justice looks like, it's ultimately getting to a place where every single fascist agent and the leaders that directed them to do what they did are held accountable to the highest degree of the law. And that means prosecution.”

here’s Pulp with a song that casts cheating as an act of revolutionary class warfare

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Alex Mitchell is the most England-scrum-half-looking mfer I've ever seen. there's no way he isn't a close relation of Matt Dawson

on this day in 1929, walter spirko, an 18-year-old cub reporter for the #citynewsbureau, walked into the cook county coroner's office... 1/

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

This is very true about Ilia and it’s amazing how many ultra-wealthy old men are totally incapable of being this honorable

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills. To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

Matt Weston! I've only just heard of you but you're a bloody hero! GOLD FOR GB

The @nytimes.com report on Meta pursuing facial recognition on smart glasses, and seeing this politically chaotic time as a good window to launch, has tons of concerns. Also, my thoughts on the race for this tech, its advantages, and its need for limits. www.cnet.com/tech/service...

This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.

🚨BREAKING: In a big win for Virginia Democrats’ efforts to counter President Donald Trump’s GOP gerrymanders in other states, the Virginia Supreme Court said the state can hold its special election on the redistricting plan. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

noem and lewandowski are like the most toxic couple you have ever met given full rein of a government agency www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

you know you done fucked up when the judge uses two exclamation points

What a vile, vile man

he's used "basically" twice. always tip your sub-editor

just found out the Beek died?! shockingly young. just wtf.

This is all due to the incredible resistance of the people of Minnesota. Their resilience - and their determination - helped enforce the Constitution in a way that political elites in Congress and the courts did not or could not. I have never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Just read it.

god I miss the pub

everyone with an IQ above paste could have predicted this would happen: anyway; these Meta glasses are ontologically evil and anyone who wears them is a creeping blood-worm who should be chased from society with stones and sharp sticks

The Trump Palm Beach house sale is one of those stories that has been public for years, it's as outrageous as Brian says, but America whistled past that graveyard. People weren't ready to process the implications.
