Actually, the likelihood is 100%. In US jurisprudence, accused people are innocent until proven guilty. Hegseth's victims were not proven guilty; they were not even tried. Therefore they were ALL, to the last man, legally innocent. Hegseth ordered the murders of several dozen innocent men.

Bookmark this for the investigations to come: the Trump team’s boat bombings trace back to at least 2018. That’s when White House officials asked me & others about whether they could do something like this. We said it was illegal then. Now they’ve done it anyway.

Lol, Zillow tried to rate the climate risks facing individual properties. The real estate industry *hated* it, precisely because it worked -- it made selling risky properties more difficult. So they rebelled & Zillow caved. Don't look up!

Here's video of my discussion on CNN about High Horse, the new Peacock docuseries from Jordan Peele, which explores systemic oppression of people of color through U.S. history by asking a simple question: Why don't we know more about Black cowboys? WATCH: https://loom.ly/KbUdJfY

So @lizdye.bsky.social investigated Dr. Phil so you don’t have to. Turns out he’s a giant piece of shit. (That’s probably not surprising.) But exactly what he did turned out to be a frustrating surprise to at least one bankruptcy judge and counting! What was it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1Il...

Reconciliation only comes from accountability. We let the past actions go once there are consequences for those actions. Prosecute to the full extent and then say move on. Unless it is stomped on with the full weight of law, it will come back even worse.

What a great headline

On the way to Missouri!

“I was just following otters.”

An Oregon MAGA influencer (and indicted J6er) with the surname of Medina thinks America could be great again if we just adopted the immigration policies of North Korea, Russia, Singapore, and India.

Guillotines

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.

Soup shot glasses!

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

The previous system flawed & awful was functioning w/ some processes. To prevent this shit a new more bureaucratic immigration legal system will be created, to stop the Exec from doing this again will plant the seeds for the next generation of xenophobes to use to inflame anti-immigration fears.

Wow, rude.

All, or at least most, of the movies on the list belong on the list. But I think the ranking system within the list was: put the names in a bag, kinda shake it a little, and just pull them randomly.

Would make Cox the THIRD Republican governor in recent years to expand his state's Supreme Court to shift its ideological balance rightward, after Arizona and Georgia.

What justification can a police dept have for this? Why aren't the quote "pro-life" Republicans yelling about it? Why are the right-wing libertarian oriented politicos going nuts about the interference with the rights of a family?

Neanderthals, apparently:

these deals are always ultimately cannibalistic the debt and the mindless quest for impossible scale triggers a predictable wave of inevitables

nine years after AT&T signaled its intention to buy Time Warner the HBO execs figure out that they should stay focused on quality television NINE YEARS

. . . said "she is just a kids book writer." Just? I "just" write for kids? That is who is important. That's where the future is.

Right. I feel offended by the idea that we have to make things 'fun' for young readers. It so underestimates young people. Why should they get things watered down? A few years ago someone on Twitter . . .

I remember the time I turned in a manuscript to this editor and mentioned things like "selling securities" and "mercantilism" and "due process." My editor was like "This is for 8th graders." Me: "So?" I suggested adding text boxes with definitions for hard words and everyone was happy. 3/

Any opportunity I have to post the greatest tweet of all time I'm gonna take it. This is my favorite ever.

@thebulwark.com @jvl.bsky.social @samsteindc.bsky.social @eggerdc.bsky.social

Jack London, socialist novelist and trade union advocate, died on this day in 1916.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

My favorite piece of content today.

"Paying the blackmailer makes you look like a cowardly mark—both to your audience & to the guy grabbing you by the wallet," writes @lizdye.bsky.social. "With courts announcing they won’t be part of the president's extortion racket, media outlets need to toughen up and quit paying the vig."

More @lizdye.bsky.social and @andrewtorrez.bsky.social punching back!

We just saw the exact moment a star exploded for the first time ever. Astronomers have achieved a rare feat: imaging the exact moment a massive star detonated—and the explosion was anything but spherical. SN 2024ggi, a supernova located 22 million light-years away in the

I have been feeling depressed and discouraged that this man has the power and influence he does at my school and in my profession And I am a tenured professor at Harvard! How much more protected can I be? Imagine how STUDENTS feel. Junior faculty. This quote nails it

Remember Jamal Khashoggi.
