Wow www.bbc.com/news/article...

Holy shit

You can condemn the heinous act of violence that killed Charlie Kirk without celebrating who he was. People are capable of holding two thoughts at the same time.

@trahan.house.gov you voted yes on this? This wasn't just condemning violence, but is explicitly honoring the hateful and divisive words he said in life, against women, minorities, LGBTQ+ peoples, and others. Just because he did not deserve to die does not mean his true legacy should be ignored.

Seems vaguely relevant.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

a friend of mine who's worked on a somewhat recent free multiplayer game says this about player feedback that I feel like is very astute hearing the feedback is frequently important but responding to it well almost never means just doing what the players say they want

Frankly, "Let's invade Faerieland and build our data centers there" is more reasonable, because we've at least got some cultural history on where we might start with that. Like, mushroom circles exist. Mounds in the woods exist. That's a project we could start today, which is more likely to work.

Sounds like a fair assessment.

They asked them to make art about their life, then wrapped it in a tarp.

“I was threatened with being referred to the FBI... They also threatened to stain my record so I would never get a job again. They also threatened with an extended detention if I didn’t give them the passwords to the student information or to my district files."

After Free Radical reached out for inquiry, her account was reinstated. LinkedIn declined to comment on this matter, citing confidentiality with platform users, but confirming that they have engaged.

My cartoon in this weeks @newyorker.com

A student expelled for posting a screenshot of a text exchange he wasn't part of. Either: A) it wasn't a threat, which violates his 1st amendment B) it was, and they didn't check to see if he had guns at home or try to connect him with counseling to try and prevent a shooting.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

A key element of the administration’s repurposing of wartime and counterterrorism framings to other ends is aesthetic. Here ICE agents are kitted out like wannabe GWOT operators while conducting a raid in the badlands of the Berkshires. www.berkshireeagle.com/breaking/ice...

Quite a finding from Judge Sessions: "Her continued detention potentially chills the speech of the millions and millions of individuals in this country who are not citizens. Any one of them may now avoid exercising their First Amendment rights for fear of being whisked away to a detention center."

Firsthand account of all the rotten stuff that went down on Eureka Ave this morning. TY @lukeoneil47.bsky.social for running it.

Ice Agents in Worcester, MA RIGHT NOW attempting to take 2 women and a baby. City Council Member @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social attempting to help her. Please share far and wide ASAP!

Here it is—our first look at the proposed HHS/Medicaid cuts. If this is allowed to pass, many people like me will be institutionalized. Community-based services completely eliminated. Disabled people from birth through end-of-life will suffer. Many will literally not survive these cuts.

More from the town hall . . .

According to the lawyer it sounds like he wasn't even the actual person they were looking for: www.wcvb.com/article/ice-...

The New Bedford Light has more detailed reporting on this. This story should be everywhere. Fucking gestapo shit.

The 23rd annual Boston International Film Festival kicks off Thursday, but organizers say that not a single filmmaker is coming from overseas this year — a change they say is in response to President Trump's policies.

/2 Republicans mostly think that is as it should be, and Democrats, historically, have been to cowardly to talk about it for fear of seeming pro-criminal. Please be the change on this and talk about how inhuman we are to all prisoners.

So this chart popped into my head as a very rough tool. Not perfect and I'm not sure on the exact breakpoints for different Brackets (especially 4 & 5), but I feel it's a decent visualization.

He thinks he's a genius and that his kindergarten understanding of trade deficits is Actually Correct so he's just gonna do it. Congress could put a stop to this if only they fucking wanted to!

NEW: GlobalX flight attendants were told they would fly rock bands, sports teams and sun-seekers. Then the company started expanding into deportation flights. “They didn’t tell us these people were going to be shackled, wrists to fucking ankles.”

This idea -- that a really *old* code-base can be far more reliable and rock-solid than something written in a newer language? It violates a lot of Silicon Valley mythos, of course ... ... where "new" is nearly always seen as "better" 4/9

There was a lot of good game animation in 2024, and I found ALL OF IT. #animation youtu.be/eD_dYrVFTEY

A Tufts University graduate student has been detained by ICE “The university had no pre-knowledge of this incident,” Tufts president Sunil Kumar wrote, “and did not share any information with federal authorities prior to the event.” www.wgbh.org/news/local/2... @gbhnews.bsky.social

America hasn’t felt this upside down since I was a child in an internment camp.

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.

Some more info. 1) Per a friend that works in NY state government, NY cities are required to hold funds in commercial banks. So this was a private bank account, not one controlled by Treasury. 2) Per NYDN the inbound wire was dated Feb 4; wires are one-way, they can't just be undone a week later.

/2 The generation-long tolerance of the Gitmo concept — that there are people who, by the state’s fiat, are unpersons without rights — is a stain on America and a failure by both parties. That helped build Trumpism.

I have to pick Darren Korb and still to this day my favorite track by him is Spike in a Rail (although he has so many other great songs). youtu.be/LB5GJWgRepY?...

We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
