D639,006 - issued in 2011 for a design for a "bamboo open trash can." #DesignPatents

This is rich coming from a cabinet secretary who can’t even wear a tie.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

this is, as my nana would say, top shit

He only says this because his culture only counts medication as a painkiller if it gets you wasted. Like mother, like son.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local authorities deny catholic prisoners the Eucharist, bishop arrives, Papal sanction may follow”

/2 1. Real human beings will suffer from even a brief stay. 2. The government's position is transparently dishonest and in bad faith. 3. The Supreme Court has lost any benefit of the doubt. They have lost the mandate of the heaven that is the rule of law.

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Maybe in Belfast, but not here

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum. www.pbump.net/o/yes-most-a...

Acme v. Roadrunner clearly invalidates this prosecution, but the Roberts court won’t care.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

Air Bud warming up in the Dodger bullpen.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Dude. That’s some DEFCON 1 shit. Stay safe, island fam.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

The largest protest I have seen in Miami

A beautiful Bald Eagle circled overhead during our protest in Burnsville Minnesota and the crowd went wild #NoKings #Minnesota

People who say "history will judge" should check out a twenty dollar bill sometime.

When you let an LLM think for you, you have no idea how dumb you appear. It’s Poe’s Law incarnate. He’s sincere.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations. She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly! Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

A non-grifter would have deleted this after realizing that it was AI. Not Jenn.

Bovino needs to swing for this, and not alone.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

It’s around the corner from the Old Spaghetti Factory. Not a dicey neighborhood.

(Judge had DOJ confirm that we're only talking about activity around a single ICE building in Portland.)

Yeah...

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

The Morning Show has so much faux gravitas that I am constantly amazed that Aaron Sorkin is not involved.

AAUP v. Rubio is out, and look at how it starts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you're National Guard and have any info about the Portland deployment, text me securely via Signal at 202-510-1268

In response to this aggression, we are deploying Antifa to The Villages, FL.

He has two kids with his stepdaughter, whom he raised from 4 years old and is married to.

A good ad on the DC Metro

Very excited for this release! Team Rodent by Carl Hiaasen is a good primer on their Florida political operations, but this seems to go way deeper into the muck. Can’t wait!

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

nevertheless…
