Here, I wrote about this in the format of a news article: reason.com/2026/04/15/s...

"Look at that! LOOK AT IT. That FLIES! Imagine a big bag of dog food falling out of the sky and hitting you. That's that bird!"

Dear god. Very, very serious allegations of mass civil rights violations at the State of Florida's Everglades immigration detention center (officially known as "Alligator Alcatraz").

The libertarian-ish tendencies of Western states sometimes comes really in handy on matters of basic constitutional liberties.

Again (and again and again) this is all just shit that the Klan said about Catholics 100 years ago.

Last month in The Onion:

Arguing the state has a legally cognizable interest in promoting the impregnation of children.

You aren't the only one who just sits in the car before or after a long day Pausing to decompress in a parked car can help you reset, if you keep a few things in mind. That temporary pause can act as a buffer between one part of the day and the next.

Moreover, it doesn't matter who Satoshi is, unless you are concerned about hypotheticals around what one person with that much liquid cash might be able to do, and you would rather take it by force for yourself, your organization, or your government.

But this has been a fact relative to the […]

The new reporting on #Satoshi just bolsters speculation that is 15+ years old. I applaud the investigation but retain the perspective that I've had for at least 13 years at this point:

Anyone who claims to be Satoshi can incredibly simply prove it by signing an arbitrary message using the […]

With his grandiose White House ballroom plan, Trump again asserts the power to do as he pleases The court ruled Trump lacked statutory authority to replace the East Wing with a massive privately funded ballroom.
