Very cool. Harpur was owner of Harpur’s Arabian and other important influences on the origin of the thoroughbred. Do you have the date of the newspaper notice?

Yep. And they’re going after ALL of them.

Had a long series of almost technically "absurd" meetings yesterday (about which I will say no more). BUT, at the end, I did formulate my own academic/intellectual creed, the words I would like to see on some university's crest: Curiosity and Humility

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Social Security website continues to experience frequent crashes as Musk pushes for cuts to the agency’s IT staff. Americans face chronic outages and login issues while trying to access their accounts—despite being urged to conduct more of their Social Security business online.

Restaurants are so called because the first restaurateurs served "restorative bouillons" (their patrons were the bone-broth aficionados of the eighteenth century). It's very hard to get rich in the restaurant business. This still made me laugh. From an anonymous account (I Louvre Art Memes) on FB.

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

Just sitting here thinking that the Dow did, of course, eventually regain its pre October 1929 high... in the late 1950s.

Musk is claiming, without evidence, that the Wisconsin election was “stolen.”

“Everyone knew the river was polluted, but nobody much cared. If anything, it was a badge of honor. As David Newton writes in Chemistry of the Environment, ‘Fundamentally this level of environmental degradation was accepted as a sign of success.’”

You can probably trace this back to the Nixon pardon, the post-2008 "Too big to jail" decline in white collar prosecutions, and of course more recently the half hearted Trump prosecution. These are fundamentally political, not legal problems

The govt’s admission, in the Abrego Garcia case in Md, that it mistakenly removed him to El Salvador despite protective status, may reverberate in the Alien Enemies Act case, where plaintiffs allege that many with open asylum cases were wrongfully removed. 1/7

Can we permanently put to rest the myth that a businessman knows more how to manage the economy? Or do we have to wait for our economy’s collapse for some among us to grasp it?

NEW: ACLU tells Judge Boasberg that he should reject the government's invocation of the state-secrets privilege, saying that it is "unaware of *any* case in which [it] has been invoked to withhold evidence from a court seeking to enforce its own orders." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Dance like no one's watching, but text like you accidentally added the editor from the Atlantic to your group chat.

the people who wanted "everything run like a business" also transformed how businesses were run, and it broke those too. (they transformed businesses into the idiot share-price maximizers of pathetically stylized economic models, which is not how most businesses actually functioned before 1970!)

The excellent USAID emergency response service - the Dart unit - should be in Thailand/Mynamar right now helping save lives after the devastating earthquakes.

Roald Dahl wrote this letter about losing his daughter *39 years ago*. RFK, and the politics he promotes, will inflict this unimaginable pain on many parents, if they get their way.

Happily, the people at her town hall did not agree with her on much of anything

This is easy to chant.

The Court in the Öztürk case, whose order not to remove her from Massachusetts was not followed, has now ordered that she not be removed from the United States.

This is outrageous. I’m outraged

Westfield, IN in the news for all the right reasons!

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said. “If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Saving you a click, perhaps: not that Bill Murray.

DOGE staffer ‘Big Balls’ helped cybercrime group. One of the most prominent members of Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) team once supported a cybercrime group that boasted about trafficking stolen data and stalking an FBI agent.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

Signal “is not approved by the government for sharing classified information…If officials want to discuss military activity, they should go into a specially designed space known as a sensitive compartmented information facility, or SCIF…” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

We were told not to share this publicly, but last year was record-breaking—America’s national parks saw over 331 million visits.

“100% OPSEC”

Musk set to get access to top-secret U.S. plan for potential war with China. What?

Sorry but this whole thing is a farce! This woman plainly does not run the organization, THE GUY WHO CAME UP WITH THE NAME AND WHO THE PRESIDENT SAYS RUNS IT RUNS IT

Perfection

It looks like Tesla needs DOGE's services to find fraud and waste Tesla (TSLA) accounting raises red flags as report shows $1.4 billion missing electrek.co/2025/03/19/t...

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Ozymandias

More of this, please. A LOT more of this, please.

Elon Musk’s staffers visited the U.S. Institute of Peace, accompanied by two FBI agents. They were met at the door by a lawyer who informed them that the institute holds “private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency.” Following this, the staffers left.

WTF?!? Elon Musk reposted this on X before quietly deleting it: “Stalin, Mao, and Hitler didn’t murder millions of people. Their public sector employees did.”

Party like it's 1929...

The White House would appreciate it if you would respect her privacy at this time.

You and I can be fined $250 for throwing a gum wrapper onto the ground.

Tariffs tomorrow and tariffs yesterday, but never tariffs today.

When people spend time learning to write they’re told they’ll never get a job; but if people think a computer system has learned how to write, they act like it can do anybody’s job

Sorry not sorry.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

Yes
