Current* conditions near Frankfort, MI:

Any interaction in all these Epstein files of someone telling him fuck off?

Tampa Bay coach heard Gangster instead of Gasparilla for the dress assignment tonight.

Man the Bolts really missed the chance for an great alternate jersey here.

Watching the Gator game at a spot near campus and the bartender just told her friends that the music is set to La Roux - Bulletproof radio and, you know what, the kids are alright.

I can officially confirm that the snow in NC is roughly one (1) corgi deep

I don't want to dismiss the specific geography of Texas SD-9 (rich, educated suburban) but the Texas GOP has the opportunity to do the funniest thing by gerrymandering.

Nips full perk, time for a drink. bsky.app/profile/robe...

Not holding my breath, but don't have much else hang out hopes on so why not.

Hopefully this will be something to drink to tonight out of the Fort Worth area. Rehmet got 47% in the first round despite being massively outspent and is now trying to ward off a prominent hardline Christian nationalist for the state senate seat.

Proper way to sign off a Friday here.

Gotta update the chart

Man, can the news just chill out for a sec. It's Friday.

Always fascinating when the mask slips and all of a sudden "white" has precisely nothing to do with culture or skin colour, and exists exclusively in relation to ones willingness/unwillingness to dehumanize non-whites.

Harmeet Dhillon truly is the definition of failing upwards and I think she and Bondi will blunder their way through this like most every other case. But the intimidation is the point. Best hope is that it blows up in their faces both with journalists and with wider public opinion.

Seeing this a lot, but beyond the headline: - it's a poorly written article from The Hill summarizing a press conference, - was not the only demand, or even a main one, - the two quotes about deportations read more as "I can't believe I even have to say it but these fucks in the GOP are making me."

Not to put to fine a point on it but if most of us in our personal capacity sued ourselves in a professional capacity and then used my professional capacity to offer a settlement in order to empty the coffers of our fiduciary into our own pockets, the resolution to that lawsuit would be us in prison

By a wide margin, the 5 largest operators globally of CRJ regional jets are in the US, feeding all major carriers. The largest A220 fleets are with Delta and Jet Blue. Curious to see what he means by decertify here (not holding my breath he even he knows, though).

Sinking trillions of dollars and buckling our power grid to force-feed us 90s strategy game cutscenes.

Much like that influencer's grindset morning routine that started at 4am, the only question for anyone who works 72 hours a week is how on earth are you so inefficient with your time?

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

I'm willing to bet there were quite a few more write-ins, but those 7 were the only ones they could officially count.

Always love a good, simple map.

cc everyone that was junking up @chrisgeidner.bsky.social's replies this morning with "judges have no way to enforce any of this so its meaningless"

DHS is a Frankenstein department arising from and designed for a particular moment in the country's history. Its reason for existing fated it to be a bigger threat to our own peace and security than any threats it was set to protect us from. Regardless of the final fate of ICE, time to split DHS up.

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star) Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

Not sure where this unfolding thread is going, but it's painting a vivid picture of where Bovino is headed back to. As bleak as it is to be sent there, still hoping it's just a pitstop before jail for him.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

"Where's the local PD?" from a fed is so funny. Did you try calling them?

College kickers, man

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

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.

This is the moderate position at the very least right now.

Voice searched "Mannerism" on my FireStick to resume playing the show about the Mannerism art movement I've been watching. Instead, the new Alexa+ proceeded to read the Wikipedia article about Mannerism rather than taking me to the show I was already watching to learn about it The future is awesome

Despite the cold, Westconsin and Mirrorsota thankfully will be avoiding the freezing rain this weekend.

A windchill of around -30F didn’t stop what organizers say was 50,000 from marching through Minneapolis in one of, if not the largest, march in Minnesota history. Protesters demand accountability in the killing of Renee Good and removal of the federal agents that have upended daily life in MN.

Portland, ME. Favorite signs include “pond hockey players against ICE” (posterboard taped to hockey stick) and “Dirigo fuck yourself,” which I intend to steal

it’s the part people overlook in Fukuyama’s End of History and the Last Man.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Winter Storm Warning that goes from the Rio Grande to the Gulf of Maine

Absolute ghouls. I'm a single issue voter right now and it's "Nuremberg 2028"

if you're staying on twitter because you think you can use the platform to persuade the aspiring pedophiles on the site, please understand that's the dumbest thought anyone's ever had

The power outages and freezing conditions in Ukraine right now are insane. Greenland news and war “coverage fatigue” not giving it the presence in headlines it deserves. The humanitarian impact is absolutely staggering.

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

Wasn't aoon but it finally happened.
