NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

But I haven’t even gotten that. Just silence. The company even emailed me asking me how I liked one of their newer items (I’m sure it was on auto send), so there’s no indication they even know there’s a problem.

For awhile, the delivery date just kept getting pushed until it stuck at yesterday, then once the day was over the tracking said I would get a new delivery date as soon as my package starts moving. So…what’s the plan here? I’ve heard of customers getting bills that are 200% what they originally paid

I ordered about $100 worth of items from a Canadian company on 8/20 and since it’s a smaller business, it took 8 days for them to package and ship it to me (it’s their busy season). The next day, the tariff exemption on packages under $800 expired and now it’s just caught in limbo in Ontario.

Are they sure it wasn’t just a cheat code to the guy’s favorite video game?

CNN. The initial report, also called a bulletin, typically include all information gathered in an investigation so that agents anywhere will know what is being collected - but the information is not always correct. The ATF bulletin said that agents found engravings that they interpreted as "expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology" on ammunition inside a weapon believed to have been used in the murder of Kirk. Two law enforcement sources told CNN that agents quickly ran an initial search on one of the markings, including a series of arrows, which analysts initially interpreted to be a connection to the transgender community. That information remains unverified and is still being investigated.

The markings that supposedly expressed “transgender ideology” were………..a series of arrows.

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Okay, she does have a lot of money, but let’s not pretend those Celebrity Net Worth sites are anything close to reliable.

Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

Five years ago all this stuff about Trump's serial abuse came up. Women who had been minors at the time told their stories. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020...

AOC emails are “Here’s the bill I just passed” or “Here’s how this development will affect your day-to-day life.”

All of my emails from Democrats who aren’t AOC are some form of “Trump is going to do this bad thing, so give us money to stop him” or “Politician was just attacked on TV, give them some money to make them feel better.”

I gave you all my money for years and you didn’t do anything with it.

So my fingers are itching to dial? What did I see, what did I see?? 😳🤣😂

The thing about going to the movies so often right now is you start to notice there’s a point when watching the pre-show trailers where it’s just a series of movies about white men being chased.

Caught Stealing
Running Man
The Roofman
Nobody 2

Or the antivax parents who were willing to let their kid die because they didn’t want the doctors to do a spinal tap because it might paralyze him.

Or the one where the woman didn’t want to put a mask on her kid because masks don’t do anything, but she wanted the surgeons to wear masks during her surgery.

Like the fact that a lot of the negative reviews of Materialists basically boiled down to “it’s a bad movie because I would have chosen Pedro Pascal.” But that’s not the movie Celine Song set out to make and the movie is about much more than who she chooses in the end.

I was not worried at all about AI in art (i.e. Joan is Awful) because I naively had faith in audiences getting bored or wanting to be surprised, but lately a lot of the discussion around TV and movies has really worried me. I’m hearing a lot of “That’s not what I would do/what I like”.

Today I learned my grandmother unfriended me on Facebook.

She notably did not unfriend my sister who is more politically aligned with her and her grandson who is not politically aligned with her but is her daughter’s stepson rather than her stepson’s daughter.

I'm a Buchanan and I recently discovered Buchanan's whiskey and that they have a pineapple whiskey perfect for pina coladas. I'm visiting my sister, so we bought Buchanan's whiskey and then spent about 20 minutes struggling to open the bottle. Feels like it should be in our genes or something.

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”

This is really hard for me to admit, but I think it’s important to be honest.

I just realized that Margaret Qualley plays the daughter in The Leftovers.

You’ve heard of “Yes, and”. The Amanda Seyfried/Adam Brody Actors on Actors is just “No, but” over and over again.

But it works for me because it’s Amanda Seyfried and Adam Brody.

Sure. But that discounts the time they couldn’t produce anything during the GLOBAL PANDEMIC and the TWO STRIKES.

Season 3 came out mid-2019. They probably thought they had all the time in the world to produce S4. Then the pandemic hit.

They made S4 and were all set to produce S5 before the strikes

3 years to do the last two seasons because, again, there was a global pandemic and two strikes that kept them from making anything.

And yes, 3 years is a long time for 2 seasons, but it’s also a big show with actors who have had success in other projects that they’ve also had to work around.

“Like a decade to release 2 seasons” is very different from “like a decade to release 5 seasons”, no matter how much imprecision you allow for.

He said it’s taken a decade to release 2 seasons. It has not.

The entire 5 seasons will have been released before we hit the decade mark next July.

(And no, it has not been 9 years, that’s not how math works. It hasn’t even been 8 years since the first season premiered.)

You’re also grossly exaggerating. It hasn’t even been a decade since the first season premiered.

Um…pandemic and two strikes?

Damn, memories are getting shorter and shorter.

It’s been on my Home Screen as long as I can remember.
