Oh. My. God. I have SUCH THROUGHTS on this. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/a... Short form? If you want to overpay for a mediocre game, there's a full marketplace out there. If you really want THIS GAME, Noble Knight has it for the same price and doesn't support Skarka.

So if anyone had questions about who's in WA's ACCESS record system for DHS it turns out all you need to do is have some patience with PRA disclosures and some Excel skills. WSP could lock out these users or audit them at their choice.

The charging document for Jake Lang is up. It's a short, funny read, but I want to call out one passage: "A trooper advised Capitol security dispatch to save the video of the incident, and Lang replied that he had great video of the incident." drive.google.com/file/d/1wpoR...

🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

It’s really powerful to hear a series of ordinary citizens reading the bill of rights. 7/?

... now we need to see if they actually turn them on. And if there are consequences for "forgetting" to do so.

Not all heroes wear capes. But if this one does, he'll be very well-dressed.

We finally know what happened to DOJ's (frivolous) misconduct complaint against Chief Judge Boasberg: It was transferred by Chief Justice Roberts from the D.C. Circuit to Sixth Circuit Chief Judge Jeff Sutton, and Sutton dismissed it in a ... direct ... memorandum and order just two weeks later:

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

I don't have enough inventory at Amazon to send something free to everyone who responded to me, so I felt inspired to create a 100% off coupon for a card game for anyone in the world to be able to use: atlas-games.com/news/post?s=...

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

If you need whistles in #Spokane stop by Uncle's Games downtown to pick some up. While you're at it, support a worthy local business.

People are nervous about watching video, but this one is not of the murder, it's of the lead up, and people need to see it before the spin takes over.

1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement: She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

It's a snitch app

WA state pals: there is currently a state bill (HB2641) that will ban certain federal officers (ICE) from employment at any state law enforcement. Read the bill here: lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/202... Comment here: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2641 Share and comment!

Phew! Armed Racist Assholes in Bulletproof Vests Just Local Cops: tinyurl.com/53vse4wn

what would mister rogers do? get enraged seriously. his word choice. he gave us permission, said it's healthy:

... except for the ones filmed by those same thugs who think it looks good or exonerates them or something and so leak it to a right-wing "news" site for dissemination.

One day after the Federal Government told ICE/CBP agents, "I've got your back," by taking over the investigation (and shutting local investigations out), the agents have apparently learned the implicit lesson.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984

Friday does very good custom blends, and you have the option to make them more widely available via their Secret Menu. "Pie Dreams" was our custom blend from a few years back, and it's really good. www.fridaytea.com/collections/...

Tired of having to spend all my spare time calling, writing and faxing my elected officials begging them not to pass the War-Crimes And Kicking Puppies With Steel-Toed Boots Act.

Breaking news isn't a reason to skip alt text. Alt text is MORE important in a crisis. Imagine how disorienting this is, now imagine not being able to see what all these viral posts depict.

Suggestion regarding Trump-Epstein: Don't focus on finding a smoking gun. There's already so much smoke. Most unconvinced by already-public evidence are cultists who'll deny forever (or like it). The goals should be truth, justice for victims, and an appalled scandal drumbeat that never goes away.

Been frustrated - as we all have - with this court, but this seems like a pretty remarkable ruling. I rather suspect the court does not rule this way without the collapsing approval numbers, without No Kings, without the Dems sweeping special elections.

FINAL UPDATE SR 167 Do you see what I see? Northbound SR 167 lanes and on-ramps are BACK OPEN in Kent and Auburn. Floodwater has receded, sandbags have been removed and WSDOT crews have inspected the highway before REOPENING Friday afternoon, Dec. 19.

I am very sad that the days are going to start getting longer soon, so here are 10 US Kindle copies of Peter S. Beagle's classic The Last Unicorn, which is a very, very good book, with depths and metaphors and laughs and sadness. It is a beautiful book. #KindleBookGiveaway

[softly] what the fuck

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal. abovethelaw.com/2025/12/pent...

Cross posting this 14 book bundle from @aptshadow.bsky.social #booksky 💙📚 www.humblebundle.com/books/adrian...

We all know Clarke's "sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Well we have corollary:

(btw if you are out there watching people mocking selling 1200 books and feeling bad because you'd love to sell 1200 books, please know that if you had been given the institutional support she has, you would have sold WAY MORE THAN 1200 books, it takes some sort of miracle to not do so)

Counterpoint: Shut up

Has this whole year felt like this to anyone else?

The FIFA Peace Prize is to the Nobel Peace Prize as Four Season Landscaping is to Four Seasons Hotels

From GI Joe: A Real American Hero, published in 1984 by Marvel Comics. An odd place for truth like this to both appear and be relevant.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

It's that time of year where I ask for suggestions. You see, I have a "Holiday Crap" playlist that I listen to during the Christmas Season. I add one album every year, and I don't know what to add this year. Here's a link to the current playlist for your perusal: music.amazon.com/user-playlis...

Turns out this was all much ado about nothing and Google isn’t using your Gmail to train AI and if wanna turn all that stuff back on you can get your spam filters back
