One of the slave power secessionist complaints was that Northern juries kept acquitting people who obstructed the Fugitive Slave Act. But even when the bastards had the federal government on their side, there was no way around the Sixth Amendment's requirement of not just a jury but a local one.

A very transparent technical report from the Nevada state government describes the steps a ransomware gang used to breach their network and deploy ransomware, setting an example for cybersecurity disclosures. www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit... #nevada #ransomware #technicalanalysis

*cut to campaign logo* "I'm [insert name here], Democrat for Congress, and I approve this message."

NEW: Nevada officials on Wednesday released the most comprehensive report yet on the late August cyberattack, revealing they did not pay a ransom and that the infiltration of the state’s system began in May. Read more about it here: thenevadaindependent.com/article/repo...

Today at 10am ET, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments on the extent of presidential powers to impose tariffs, and they will have a brief from National Taxpayers Union Foundation to help them. NTUF’s brief highlights a new letter signed by 465 economists including 9 Nobel Prize winners

I mean, the fundamental problem here is that “teaching eighth grade algebra is racist” is ALREADY not a thing any significant faction of elected Dems are saying. But you cannot realistically ensure no local Dem official anywhere will have a crackpot idea, and turn into RW media’s kook of the week.

All YIMBY ballot measures are currently winning in NYC by 10-point margins at least

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

Nevadans already suffer from a surplus of amateur governance. General improvement districts are designed to produce exactly that. My latest for @thenvindy.com:

OPINION by David Colborne: What the heck is Verdi Television District? It’s proof we have far too many elected officials. Welcome to the murky world of general improvement districts, where budgets are big and transparency is nearly nonexistent. Read more: thenevadaindependent.com/article/opin...

game 7 is the least important game of the world series because the season’s over at the end of the season either way. they only play it so that someone can feel like they won

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

Just remember, it's a Nevada Day tradition to turn in a writing assignment at the last minute and at great cost.

Repeat after me: I am not humbler than Jack Dorsey. I am not humbler than Ilhan Omar. I am not humbler than Jerry Chen. I am not humbler than Yair Lapid. But if I stand back and watch and learn, I will be humbler than I am.

Now see *this* "nuclear option" actually makes some sense.

Sixty-eight employees at the Nevada National Security Site were furloughed on Monday, Oct. 20. The Nevada employees are a handful of the 1,400 temporary layoffs that hit the National Nuclear Security Administration. Fewer than 400 of the agency’s employees nationwide are currently working.

"Dear Sir, Your good name has been bought to my attention as a trustworthy man and a believer in God. I am the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, ruler of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My mother left me forty-five million pounds and the city of York but I am unable ..."

Thune: I may need to use the "nuclear option" to give the House a "clean" continuing resolution. Trump: I got you fam...

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

This would not be the last time legal officials in Nevada would have to weigh in on whether jurisdictions with 0 constituents should receive funding. The creation of Bullfrog County (pop: 0, plus a potential nuclear waste dump) was ruled unconstitutional on Feb 11, 1988.

Slow-walking a case because you're (stupidly, in this instance) worried about the political optics is no less an improper and unethical politicization of the process.

so this month i’m supposed to buy a pumpkin, then next month a turkey, and december a tree? can anyone explain what the fuck is going on?

See if the Blue Jays just had done this last night, the game wouldn't have gone so long. Sheesh. They should put me in large and I could have told them that.

I think I'm starting to understand why people take Isaac's phone calls. I mean, after reading this, I'm pretty sure I can answer questions better than a former White House press secretary... right?

letting SNAP expire right before thanksgiving and right as health care premiums skyrocket, on paper, seems like the kind of thing destined to be the downfall of a regime, setting aside that it’s gonna be a very thin christmas for a lot of people because of tariffs

Happy Thanksgiving!

www.seriouseats.com/baking-soda-... You want to avoid adding acid when cooking dried beans until they have the texture you want, at the very end. You can add a little baking soda to help them soften faster, but you definitely want to *avoid* adding such as tomato too early.

That people like working with you is a skill I see many technical people ignore yet it is often the biggest thing holding them back in their careers.

Gavin Newsom has the potential to do the funniest thing of all time when the Series goes to Los Angeles.

If the increasingly vocal calls to fire me into the sun are any indication, my "In defense of demolishing the White House with a Boeing 757-200" column is really challenging the preconceived notions of my readership.

Finally.

Good thing the press corps has decided to suffer all the indignities and outrages so they can keep their important physical access, that unique inside ability to report on what's really going on in the White House, like if they're planning to imminently tear down a large chunk of it.

All these people are saying “wait to you think he’s REALLY a Nazi,” and my response is “no I think it’s more likely he’s an irony-poisoned edgelord douchebro, another group that’s absolutely ruining the fucking country.”

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

Windows 7 (2009) is now as old as Windows NT (1993) was when Windows 7 was released.

If you extend the benefit of the doubt to Platner, then you're a LIBERAL who offers grace even to nazis. If you have a strict no nazi tattoos policy, then you're a censorious hall monitor LIBERAL out of touch with the authentic working class. Liberals: damned if we do, damned if we don't.

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

I mean it’s already extremely on the nose but if their plans get repeatedly denied and we just go the remainder of the term with a crater where the East Wing used to be it will be the best visual metaphor for this administration imaginable

Who are the ones who "hate America"? The people waving American flags and wearing inflatable costumes? Or the people handing taxpayer-funded social media accounts to trolls, dropping artillery shells on freeways, and fantasizing about drowning protesters in feces? My latest for @thenvindy.com:

A hammer and sickle tattoo or a Red Star tattoo would be immediately disqualifying for any Republican candidate.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater
