Seems legit.

People get so weird about this sort of thing. Libraries trying to prune their collections (because shelf space isn't infinite) encounter the same pushback.

Congress is authorized to see the highest levels of classified information. They have to. That’s how oversight works

I was apparently not the only person wondering recently what these guys would make of all this

Hauerwas: “Thus my observation that all you need to know to understand America is that the FBI is made up of Catholics and Southerners—because Catholics and Southerners have to show they are more loyal than most Americans…”

An impressive X8 solar flare just fired off from AR 4366. This is one of the strongest events of this solar cycle! Monitoring now for any associated CME. Usually these big flares have some sort of eruption with them, so even if it's small, something may have launched off...

We just experienced the THIRD STRONGEST solar flare of Solar Cycle 25!

Both have jobs, 5-year work visas, Real IDs, driver’s licenses, Social Security numbers, and no criminal record. Why would anyone other than a complete racist support this? triblive.com/local/valley...

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

C.S. Lewis fans, get your popcorn ready.

I’ve been thinking about how the evangelicalism you and I knew growing up — with skinny jeans, youth groups, and milquetoast, but normie, theology* — is essentially dead and more and more evangelical churches are either Christian nationalists or megachurch-wannabes

And it's very important to add that *it isn't hypocrisy* when this results in different reactions for "us" and "them". Rittenhouse is "us" and so he's a hero for carrying a weapon to a protest. Pretti is "them" and so he's a villain for doing the same.

An unusual CSI meme... (17/n)

As a Christian, same.

The Chinese communist party also controls dissent through the use of facial recognition tools and other surveillance technology www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/t...

Interestingly, the guy in charge in both of these photos was the same guy: Tom Homan.

I like the V1 vuvuzela better. The mouthpiece on this one is too small. Maybe I'll try to combine the models...

I’ve written a lot about democracy, but this may be the most important post I’ve shared here. It’s about the moment when political rhetoric stops being careless and becomes dangerous — when leaders start calling their own people “enemies.” That moment is now.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Of all the people involved in this, we know for sure that Tom Homan *can* do this in a non-fascist way and is choosing evil. We know this because he did the same job for Obama.

HOLD IT There's a version 2

If this was already a fascist country, Springsteen would be in custody for this. It happens routinely in Russia.

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

Why aren't we interviewing deportees like this every day? Rural Honduras is poor, but it's not some 19th century technology zone. People still have phones and email!

Oh no, we're doing this now. If you want new people to show up, you can't lecture them about showing up wrong. This thing has had such good momentum. Let's not collapse it.

3D printed vuvuzela #1 is finished, but this particular model involves way too much lip buzzing, like a trombone. You'd be chapped in minutes in Minnesota winter. Going to try others.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Happy 6th "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" anniversary to those who celebrate! #Geology ⚒️

Reminder: Bovino will never see you mocking his height. Other men of the same stature will, and now they know what you secretly think about them.

Praetorian Guard

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

Hochul, Ro Khanna, Pat Ryan calling on impeachment of Kristi Noem. MAKE Trump fire her ... and then demand he fire Stephen Miller who dreamed this whole thing up

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Adding to this, it's possible that someone was right (or wrong) about this by accident. People have been calling their opponents "fascists" for a hundred years. George Orwell wrote a whole essay about it. Those people were right this time, but they were also wrong all the other times.

Lol

Hey! Scientists! Did you discover something cool with your eyes lately? Maybe you made an image with a telescope or microscope? Or made an illustrative figure in a paper? That's great! Congratulations! I am BEGGING you to upload a copy to wikimedia commons a rant ⚛️🧪

End of day two inside with the kids. Day care closed tomorrow bc roads will be icy until almost noon. The toddlers have gone feral. Drums. Drums in the deep.
