Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

please do not allow righteous anger at industrial scale assault and abuse make you into a conspiratorial loon who hangs on salacious detail and loses the plot. the powerful have a huge incentive to shape our response to epstein into a mass psychosis event / bigotry to avoid being held to account

I should not have to publish canvas pages for spring semester due to the threat of being doxed by my students

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

feel for anyone whose favorite evo psych or behavioral economics or game theory guy is in the files. It has to be a shock

Please do not make oligarch jokes, thank you.

when you have ties to Russian oligarchs

Warsh? Gorsh!

ELON MUSK: your island is so freaking like, based. it's seriously like effing amazeballs. i'm going to basically be making like all of mars totally just like the same as how epic this is STEPHEN HAWKING: jeff rey why, did you in vite, this lame, ass nerd

If I see a doordash robot in my bike lane I'm going to beat it to death with a bat

Folks it looks like Hapless Hakeem is at it again

My name is Sir Goony Golf

just choked on my beverage

27 percent is the bush dead enders, the true believers who will never be swayed

always an adventure explaining to liberals that i used to be a big ol' proud lib, super energized for obama and everything, and the thing that made me into a leftist was like. just staying mad about the same things i was mad at bush for instead of going "well i guess it's fine now" when dems did it

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

Sitting down at my Horse Badorties workstation and firing up my Horse browser

It's maybe a small thing but I'm still so grossed out that the director is the Kennedy center says that "we have no place for politics in the arts"

Uhhhh what the hell did the palantir employees think they were working on

Didn't expect to have to revisit this within 8 hours, but. I don't think Bovino getting demoted or Noem (possibly) fired fits the criteria here. That's not "accountability" for the killers, that's punishing someone well above them in the chain of command for the sin of making a bad news cycle.

I have a piece today in Defector making the case for "more training" for ICE agents. A *lot* more training. defector.com/i-have-a-gre...

Imagine getting into your formal dress uniform so you can wave the flag up and down like kindergarteners playing parachute

Pregame moment of silence for Alex Pretti, followed by several yells of "Fuck ICE!"

*gob bluth voice* jarrett stid-well

It has broken containment. Odious football goons of all disgusting stripes. We will win

This ain't it

it's just remarkable to remember that a whole ass constitutional crisis is being forced because a weird old wealthy dowager queen has no idea how the country he was elected to lead for 4 years works, and a bunch of wormtongues are trying to make cool tough guy videos for him and his fans

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

How a lot of people think our so called Ai future will be

But how cold is the windshield factor

Oh is there a weatherball happening today?

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

The only Davos that was ever cool

i thought the president would do something that would distract people from the virality of Bus Thread but somehow he managed to do the exact opposite
