Keep in mind that the watercolor Despot Series is having real political takedown effects. Noting Despots #1 and #2, Creepy Bovino and Kristi "Brooke Shields-era" Noem are now forced out of Minnesota.

So i understand (though disagree w) local PD refusing to intervene w ICE. But now that we have bounty hunters doing ice work, what is their legal standing when they brandish guns or run red lights, etc? Have officials commented on this change?

Great closure to this 6-parter: "I worry that contemporary quests for standardization and formalization of research practice lose sight of the value of creative experimentation and investigation. We can’t let reproducibility checklists stifle creative exploration." We make a mess so we can learn!

After Bovino randomly stopped his convoy to assault a park in Uptown, I remember people on the ground wiping pepper spray out of their faces, someone shouting that there were bullets in the snow, and then the gas clearing and there was Jason Chavez with a big, resolute smile helping people up.

Would've been much more satisfying if Chief O'Hara had come to the City Council prepared to say something like "That's my bad, I'm sorry, I should never have said those things. There was never any chance my officers would intervene to stop lawless rampaging by federal agents."

For most of the history of cars, turning right on red was illegal due to its obvious danger, since drivers looking to their left for oncoming vehicles can't see pedestrians in the crosswalk on their right. It should be again.

The “shield” is intolerable here as well. “Parents tried to shield their children from water. Instead they died of dehydration.” That’s what the
@nytimes.com
headline here says. Both “shield” and “instead” appallingly reinforce anti-vax attitudes and frames.

Kudos to these three for rejecting Epstein's advances. I have some connections to minor wealth, so I'm not naive to how this works, but this nugget about how an idiot can access some of the best in a field stood out.

People will live in neighborhoods where all the houses are over $600k, send their kids to private schools, primarily socialize with other moderately wealthy people... and then tell a lefty person who makes $48k on blue sky that they live in a bubble.
