I made this sandwich and now you can’t tell me anything, this thing is obnoxiously good. Homemade ciabatta roll, pesto, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes roasted with garlic and oregano, salt & pepper, and balsamic mayo.

Dear Ezra Klein, bodily autonomy is not a bargaining chip. What rights are you willing to give up? Let’s see you walk the talk. The burger is on me. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Today was my last day as a federal employee, but tomorrow I and my new partner, Ginger Quintero-McCall, open a new law practice, the Free Information Group. We are both FOIA lawyers, and we are very good at suing the government. 1/

Thread.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

I’m excited about the new Bay Area alt-weekly-style non-paper paper @coyotemedia.org, and this article feels like wading waist-deep in beautiful possibility. Looking forward to more like this!

David Cross: "You might as well do commercials for Lockheed Martin or Zyklon B."

This whole section really.

Always loved that Arby's/coal fact, and the coal industry has shrunk a lot since then. The piece also noted more people work in museums than in coal..... (and Mr. Weinstein is responding to yet more coal-industry welfare in the name of jobs.)

The US wine industry today employs more people than coal did at its peak a century ago

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

It breaks my heart…

With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it. www.wired.com/story/three-...

“Steve Held, the journalist arrested tonight and taken to a so far undisclosed location, was part of the reporting team that exposed the falsity of ICE’s official narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas González. His work speaks for itself.”

They're grabbing journalists in Chicago tonight. @peoplesfabric.com is half of @unraveledpress.com. The work they do is critical and unparalleled. He needs to be released immediately.

Dinner tonight! Balsamic chicken with burst tomatoes and Parmesan polenta; NA Dark & Stormy made with black tea, homemade spiced salted lime cordial, and ginger beer; plumcot torte with cardamom & cinnamon.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

i lived in PDX for two consecutive years recently and the only times i ever felt afraid was when cops were tear-gassing protesters, sometimes within earshot of my house.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

This only happens to you once

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Please don’t purchase this BFI 4K of Herzog’s remake of “Nosferatu”. Not only is the cover art redone with A.I. but the entire film is A.I. scrubbed beyond recognition. Easily one of the worst releases of the year. Let’s hope Scream Factory’s version is better.

Maybe a little comedy inside baseball for my normal posts but Stavvy and Shane Gillis are the only bigger names I'm seeing who turned this down lol defector.com/all-your-fav...

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

Dave Matthews has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

It's good to see that Zach Woods has only become more powerful and based with time.

FUCK ICE

look i just thought he would be really good on this one issue that he doesn't give a shit about, and wouldn't accomplish any of the stuff that he has been talking about constantly for my entire adult life, ok

i really wish our law enforcement and media werent telegraphing to mass shooters that messages written on bullets will be breathlessly and uncritically publicized with no further examination

The white supremacist conceit that everyone in antiquity was living under some kind of global jim crow segregation is just complete bullshit news.harvard.edu/gazette/stor...

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right. Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

ICE has been arresting asylum-seekers in San Francisco for months now—targeting immigration court & sending people to far-flung detention centers. It's a constant stream of news. Readers often tune out. So here's a timeline recapping the most significant events so far.

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

I had never seen nor heard this 1960's Looney Tunes title card until just now (excuse the lazy recording)

Autism does not need to be cured Ableism does The end

Why is this happening? I’ll explain. If the FCC approves Nexstar’s merger deal, the company’s reach would increase from 39% to more than 80% of US households. But the deal ALSO depends on the FCC eliminating the current 39% cap on reach. Sinclair has been lobbying for this change as well.

“It’s just fucking super Google that destroys the environment.” Today on COYOTE @soleilho.com checks in with an Oakland venue owner who’s fed up with AI-generated show flyers, to talk about what we lose when we normalize the practice (It’s not just braincells!)

i know we have to "push back" or whatever but this administration has us saying the goofiest, most obvious shit. late night hosts are allowed to make jokes. actually, WE pay tariffs. no, that's not how tylenol works. could be solving climate change but instead we're debunking middle school rumors

Today had: - three vaccines - a cloying honey-apple-ginger cake (bah, gross, I had such high hopes) - nerding out with friends - a sunny afternoon in Golden Gate Park—good god we’re lucky in SF - fake fall leaves - this delightful thing:

head of medical ethics at NYU Med: "The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recycling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science." whew lordt
