“Daniel expressed his love of vodka, beer and playing the banjo. Unfortunately, we had to separate him from those loves and the train ride,” said the sheriff’s office.”

Every day is a truly unprecedented level of corruption and crime.

Every time someone calls Hegseth's testosterone program or Elon's hair plugs "gender affirming care," I wince. Speaking only for myself, and I know the jokes are well-intentioned: I wish we'd retire this one. New from me on why. www.readtpa.com/p/theres-no-...

I know you all have diarrhea and I am sorry about that but these are your people talking on a world stage. If you want to play the "we are not all like this don't boycott us" card, do it when it isn't just to try and make a buck or score points with your own voters

Listen I will just say to any American politicians who are just watchimg their colleagues issue veiled threats at Canada for having wildfires in one of the largest boreal forests in the world you better not issue any "please buy or wine and visit our casino" notices

We (faculty at USC) took on an institutional behemoth with all the money and clout on earth, and we WON. We won our union. We're the biggest private-university faculty union in US history. Trying to make people care about this, challenge level IMPOSSIBLE

the future is here and it is picking images for news alerts

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

The revelations came out in a federal court case brought by Democratic states challenging ICE's access to Medicaid data to aid in deportation efforts. n.pr/4f9OdMn

The SAVE system Mullins is referring to is flawed and secretive. That’s why we’re suing the Trump administration for information about how it is conducting alleged voter roll maintenance. With Campaign Legal Center, we’re demanding answers. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

Dang they really got a category for everything

Instead of billions of $ being spent on useless data centers and electricity infrastructure for them, that economic investment could be used to build community safety and disaster centers in every census tract and zip code with union jobs. Large, air conditioned, beautiful, welcoming facilities.

J.D. Vance's crony at the Pentagon recently went on one of his Twitter rants, insisting that a burgeoning middle power alliance was a waste of time and energy. It had strong "don't put in the newspaper that i got mad" energy. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

if there's a big headline Dem campaign to give to right now, it's Turek: Iowa is continuing to poll as a swing state, he's not putting up humongous fundraising numbers yet unlike most swing state candidates, and it's also one of the cheapest states to advertise in, so your money goes further

I don’t know why this post doesn’t give his name, but it’s Jo Nagai. This is a true story. medium.com/@zehraanjum2...

Americans and Canadians blaming each other for wildfires and nitpicking who’s worse solves *nothing*. But it does make the oil companies really fucking happy cause we’re too busy yelling at each other to focus our ire at them. Both of our govts are capitalist shitbags in their pockets.

Like….everybody shut the fuck up and stop fighting. You are taking the wrong fucking lesson from this border-crossing smoke nightmare. The lesson is *all of earth’s ecosystems are entwined, borders mean nothing, all emitters are culpable, this is an EARTH PROBLEM NOT A COUNTRY PROBLEM*.

there's only one orange guy who actually had the 2020 election stolen from him and we all know who it is

A human rights lawyer who fled China, applied for asylum in the US, and was delivering packages for Amazon when ICE took him this week:

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it a modest 10% productivity gain. Benjamin fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1000% productivity gain." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-...

George are they perhaps like rebellious woodland creatures attacking sophisticated imperial forces with slingshots and wooden spears?

This is the weirdest request for input that I've seen in a while. It's almost like the ACM is sitting at the table with the "change my mind" sign. So, let's do it. Short thread with the input I gave them:

This lettuce is literally everywhere and usually it’s in contexts where no one knows/discloses it. Taco Bell is one of the only places doing the right, proactive thing here and misleading headlines are flipping things around making seem like they’re a site of danger instead.

She also famously downplays recommendations against drinking while pregnant, and will tell people in power anything they want to, as long as she gets visibility and money out of it. The pandemic has pushed out a lot of these types of people, but Oster is a particularly repellent example.

Neither the NYT nor Oster (of *course* it's Oster) saw fit to mention that Oster is not, in fact, a public health expert. Rather, she's an economics professor most known for aggressively pushing in-person learning at the height of the pandemic

I want to visit Japan for many reasons, but the current highest is the possibility of meeting Robin the island cat: www.instagram.com/p/DajMhZNk6t8/

This. 2 things can be true: Trump repeatedly undermines public health systems AND lettuce/veg-linked outbreaks are not new.

about the wildfires: water quality can suffer for *years* after wildfires, since ash and contaminants that get left on the surface after a fire can be swept into waterways after big rains or snowmelts. droughts can extend this. spending on water infrastructure not keeping pace with climate crisis

People have become jaded to it, but a President who threatens to outlaw media in a free society should be immediately removed from office. Trump's words are completely antithetical to the core American commitments of free speech and free press.

fuck james dolan. i stand with my wired homies. long live journalism.

Trump must be impeached for undermining and subverting our free and fair elections. And when he sends ICE agents to the polls, then we must turn civic action into civil disobedience and take to the streets. Sit in. Protest. Withhold our labor. Everything must be on the table.

Conducting assessments of voting systems’ vulnerabilities is not the same as those vulnerabilities being successfully exploited Uncovering adversaries’ plans for interference is not the same as successful interference happening Voter registration data is public Trump was president in 2020

This speech is quite literally an impeachable offense. The President is trying to undermine faith in US elections and to delegitimize the elections of public officials.

“Surely you mean she won BY fewer than 200,000 votes?” No, I do not in fact mean that.

Read our story from July 9 about how an MSG database tracked and categorized hundreds of celebs, famous Knicks superfans, and even some of Taylor Swift’s wedding guests. Labels included “LGBTQIA,” “DO NOT HOST,” and low to high “risk.”

A statement from WIRED leadership.

I swear to god, Jane and Bingley live in a completely separate dimension populated entirely by Precious Moments figurines.

WOW. The ex-wife of the ICE officer who shot a 26-year-old Colombian man in Maine has come forward to say that he had mental health issues and was abusive in their relationship. She says after the shooting he called asking her to vouch for him — instead, she went to the press.
