This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

I challenge you to even name 22 different medical specialties

Okay, I’ve joked before that they might’ve ruptured a gas main when they tore out the East Wing. But maybe the whole complex was built on a really cursed graveyard?

Does he just mean that the devil makes people vote?

Trump should show up here at the L.A. County ballot processing center because he’d learn within five minutes this is democracy in action, not some conspiracy.

Portland folks: there's an all ages micro-music festival tomorrow with a book fair! 12 noon to 10 PM tomorrow, proceeds will go to good causes including Portland's bail fund! Deets in link

Yes, it “is a potential risk for any raw milk producer,” because pasteurization is a really really good idea

This article isn't about Wurman, Barnett, or Epstein. It is not for the Supreme Court. This is for the preservation of knowledge and better public education. With that mission in mind, I hope y'all share this and download it. And that said, when you read my piece, here's what their work does wrong:

Remember the magic words, everybody! "I am going to remain silent. I would like to talk to my lawyer."

Guy in college took some research drugs, then reported a portal opening up in his wall, after which he was attacked by “time sharks from dimension weird.” A very potent quotable.

Wemby’s threes are in the air so long Call ‘em trebuchets

There’s only one rule that I know of, babies - “if you’re going to rely on one case for a motion, God damn it you’ve got to read that case.”

Tarrio on Trump’s Jan 6 compensation slush fund: “A lot of these people are going to want to start organizations with this money. Some of them want to run for local office with this money — and some of them will use it for their current campaign.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It's time for overtime playoff hockey which calls for an iconic Jon Bois tweet

“Oh, no, no, that was the April-May war with Iran. We paused, like on the TiVo, and now we’re in a new May-June war with Iran. See?”

“Certainty?” Like a system where states redistricted only once every 10 years, after the decennial census, and nearly every one of them did so based on either a) a non-partisan districting system or b) had such a history of racist gerrymandering and suppression that they had to preclear changes?

The Blazers have the opportunity to do something really hilarious

I say this with a Kevin Durant Sonics jersey in my closet, but… OKC is firing on all cylinders including Ajay Mitchell making SGA’s jaw drop and the Lakers are… somehow… hanging… in? I mean, Rui is out here earning himself a giant bag, and Reaves is playing over his head, but ball go in?

Me, summer of 2020, putting on a hard hat labeled “LAWYER” to go to a protest in downtown Portland:

This seems… fine?

This is chilling. When the Small Business Administration is working with a private spy agency to investigate Americans for “fraud,” who do you suppose gets a look? And how much data does Palantir get in the exchange?

Not enough people are talking about this.     The Trump Administration is moving to cut benefits for up to 400,000 disabled Americans — people with Down syndrome, severe autism, dementia — for no other reason than that they live at home with their families instead of in an institution.

Steyer going unbelievably hard here.

I aspire to one day attend a conference cool enough to warrant taking place somewhere this sick

Scoot through 3: 26 points on 67% FT, 71% from 2, and 57% from 3 Early days, but playoff Scoot is looking a lot like the Scoot that was promised

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

The Aristocrats

I would not have guessed that anti-semitism would be the thing that cut Trump off from the America First crowd (I’d bet on immigration protections for farm workers) and I’m not here for the conflation of Israel = Epstein But I don’t mind watching a slap fight between bumptious jerks, so have at

There’s a reason that we usually invite the State Department along when conducting affairs of state

There's a reason why important agreements of all kinds are written down and signed.

In case it's not clear from the context (it's not), this was in response to a question about Iran's right to enrich nuclear material. It's one of the most confusing analogies ever that, at the same time, is really revealing as to how much of a controlling jerk Vance is

The Pakistani Prime Minister who was the intermediary for the ceasefire tweeted yesterday that it included Lebanon

I mean I’m rarely called upon for diplomatic prowess or anything but it kind of seems to me that a key deal point to nail down in any ceasefire would be which specific fire is ceasing

"Academic freedom protects scholars’ right to challenge the orthodoxy; it doesn’t insulate them from charges of bad faith in doing so. But the problem here is one of both supply *and* demand. And ... #SCOTUS bears at least some responsibility for the latter." Me in today's issue of "One First":

Happy Easter, I guess?

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.

This is fucked up and also happens OFTEN. If you are going to a protest please bring eye protection of some kind. Really sorry for this kid, I hope folks are able to help out with information.

“The Klan monument is run by slave labor” is a little too on the fucking nose

Every time I hear the term “system partner” I want to throw myself through a window.

I had that dream again The one where I got hired to direct analytics for the Blazers

Really cool how “greatest champion of religious liberty” is directly equated to “recogniz(ing) the power and the name of Jesus Christ” in literally the same sentence. Religious freedom is incredibly important. Faith provides us with lots of good things, but it doesn’t provide good government

It’s Trans Day of Visibility, so here’s your annual reminder that if you come after trans kids you will have to get through me first.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they leave prison. State lawmakers passed the amendment and it will now appear on the state ballot.

Today is the 128th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship in U.S. v. Wong Ark Kim.

I’ve said this a million times: nobody should get to run anything (let alone a country) if they haven’t played strategy games. Always. Invest. In. Science.

I am not pointing this comment at anyone in particular, but: The TSA line has already been a fraught place for brown and Black travelers for as long as it has been around. The racism might get worse tomorrow, but it isn’t going to start tomorrow. That is all.
