Don’t let the professionally dishonest & the intentionally disingenuous frame an issue as a binary choice of either getting run over or shooting a person. There is literally a universe of options between those two extremes. Stop listening to dolts or liars. Options, create them, and use them…

It's almost as if the claims of censorship have been in obvious bad faith this entire time!

The one thing the legendarily corrupt Golden Globes had been missing before now was insider trading. Not any more!

Some people are reporting the Xitter app on the app stores for distributing non-consensual sexual content.

Co-signing this. Grok is out there making CSAM on request from pictures posted to the internet. And if you posted pictures of your kids to Twitter, you LICENSED Grok to do that. Take those pics down NOW

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the

Here's the email that goes with the Amazon impersonation scam that's going around (note the fake email address--Amazon is not going to be emailing you from a Gmail address)

Legal falsity aside, I think “our masked, anonymous paramilitary thugs have an absolute right to kill you and your job is simply to trust that they won’t” isn’t so much a defense as a confession

The ICE agents prevented a local physician from attending to her while she was slumped over in the car after being shot. The shooter drove away from the scene. Senator Lankford is lying. Oklahomans should call his office and tell him to stop lying. (202) 224-5754

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

He was fine. Then Harbaugh was let loose. This isn’t complicated.

tired: correlation is not causation wired: correlation is not cognition

To the notion of compliance: too many people saying ‘if she only complied’ as justification. Failure to comply doesn’t interfere with police work. Failure to comply IS police work. Otherwise just put signs up. It’s people not complying that we must handle smartly. With thought

What good is Norman’s zone siren system if they set off sirens not inside the warning area?

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

Excellent, clarifying piece on the (real) legal pathway that Minnesota has to prosecute the ICE agent who shot and killed a woman today. No, federal agents do not have absolute immunity from start charges, no matter what the Trump administration claims.

(checks the news after a day of writing) Well, fuck. (this is an evergreen post, alas)

Say what you will about Quentin Tarantino, but the end of Inglorious Bastards made some interesting points about how we should have dealt with the Nazis.

I had no idea these existed! 👀

ice agents simply aren't trained well enough to be on the street. they are a genuine danger to citizens

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

A US citizen was killed by ICE today. A new era is upon us. The moment to speak out is now. The window is closing. open.substack.com/pub/greattra...

*Deep sigh* Check out the latest report on OK’s private school voucher program y’all…a huge chunk went to families making $200K+. 91% already had kids in private school! 🤯 Costing taxpayers $240M+ & some up at the Cap want to raise it! Filed HB 2953 to flush it…long odds…but still fighting! 💪

Good, direct, unequivocal messaging here. Also: to Trumpists, lying is a patriotic sacrament. Trumpists lie because they believe, as a tenet of Trumpism, that the people they hate deserve to be lied to and that it’s for the best for the few people they don’t hate today.

I realize this is a story from like 50 years ago in internet time, but I wrote about how it was journalistic malpractice for major news orgs to claim that "Grok apologized" when it literally CANNOT do that, and there is no sign that xAI has made a single change to its deepfake porn generator.

It's only a "marginal" risk, but keep your eyes to the skies, Oklahoma! 🌩️
