There seems to be a fundamental misconception about journalists and the First Amendment. You don't get 1A rights in exchange for being accurate and impartial. The ideal of journalistic neutrality was inconceivable to the founders. Journalism in the 1780s was partisan! And they still protected it!

Can't wait to hear about how sick Izzo is of having to coach his players

The power system in my workshop (which also powers the chicken coop/run) appears to have died overnight. Goddammit.

I see we’re at whatever level of fascism “arresting reporters for doing their jobs” is

I support Alcatraz Coyote's dreams

Wonderful morning for birds in the backyard feeders/water—a pair of red-bellied woodpeckers, a smaller woodpecker, some goldfinches (!), a cardinal, a bluejay, in addition to the usual suspects.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

As a long, long time Barca fan... magnificent :chefs-kiss:

Democrats, as usual, well behind the times.

This is actually a good thing (for the 85th time from me).

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

resign... and then face trial, right?

Retirement is not sufficient. Those in positions of power must be actually held accountable.

It took me 5m to call 2 senators & leave a voicemail saying they should oppose any bill that would appropriate money for the extrajudicial killing of Americans (this appropriations bill is like a week away fyi)

I know there's a lot going on today but also A2 peeps: there's a street parking ban from 8pm tomorrow to keep the streets clear for snowplows over Sunday-Monday night

Abolish ICE. If you want to enforce current immigration law, fine employers.

Kinda in a use-em or lose-em situation vis-a-vis constitutional rights here.

Another summary execution by occupying forces in MN?!

I've seen people making jokes and questioning the identity/motivation of the driver, but the REAL problem with the car crash into DTW airport yesterday is how the "bollards" to protect people are apparently just thin upside down trash cans screwed into the sidewalk.

Are there worse referees than those who big ten basketball employs? It feels like you couldn’t possibly find a worse bunch.

Asian pop fan hard times: looking at 50-60% of the order total in shipping and import fees as the new normal 😮‍💨

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans. When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

The most astonishing college football achievement of my lifetime.

G motherfucking G

The big dumb interception!!

You are, and I want to choose my words carefully here, fucking kidding me

The refs are just… not calling penalties, eh?

Heckuva catch!

Malachi Toney, holy smokes

Heckuva play

Uhoh!

Show Me The Money 12 started airing, I see! The previous winner 이영지 / Lee Young-ji, who won the SMTM11, dropped this pretty great verse to introduce the new competition www.youtube.com/watch?v=autY...

back from the airport! and: Windiana, let’s go!

Don’t tell someone how to play their hand if you don’t have any money in the pot

It's happening, ok! It's happening! #blackpink www.youtube.com/shorts/myBJv...

Good thread on how our policy portfolio plays out versus an that of an average peer

I don't understand the selection of Ken Syverud at all.

Good people of the internet: is there a solid, open-source, web UI component that allows people some rich-text authoring controls that operates via markdown? Something like the editor widget on github? (e.g. not QuillJS, which operates on HTML fragments, and therefore requires a translation layer)

Indiana's final form is the Death Star. Miami seems unlikely to be the right sort of plucky band...

Oh man, this is really quite something

thats right! It’s Windiana o‘clock!

sorry, if this didn't provoke a burst of laughter from you, you need to take a break. what a dumb ass world lol

claude's updated usage metering is crippling the experiment in using it productively -- but I guess we're just beginning to see the true cost of this technology get dragged into the light.

Some real college football right here, folks

If you have a podcast or whatever and want to talk about Blades ‘68, Blades in the Dark, the sixties, graphic design, or anything else you want — hit me up!

Very "Silent Hill" out there this morning.

One must hope that this is the beginning of the end of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt in the United States.
