A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Surely, this will live within the annals of top-tier management philosophies when all is said and done…

…as a supremely idiotic anti-pattern to be avoided at all cost.

Interesting that Sharon Simmons, the Door Dasher from Arkansas at the White House, is also Sharon Simmons from Nevada that testified at a GOP Ways and Means field hearing about trumps ‘big beautiful bill’ in Nevada last year.

I remember playing a successor,
EGATrek, almost identical to this a few years later.

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

Trump went from making insane genocidal threats this morning to hyping the “golden age” of Iran hours later, and he received no concessions in between. He’s an absolute basket case who needs to be removed from power before he follows through on one of his mass murder fantasies.

Rep. John Larsen filed 13 articles of impeachment against Trump for a range of high crimes.

Democrats should file impeachment articles immediately.

The man who watches Trump all day, every day Aaron Rupar spends up to 80 hours a week following the US president, from meandering speeches to impromptu press conferences. He says it’s ‘pretty bleak’

It’s rather striking how the crisis of courage isn’t with the people, it’s with our leadership.

The contrast is undeniable.

"But they don't have the votes for impeachment so you can't criticize them for not saying it" is fallacious. Dems don't have the votes to do anything. Even post-midterms, they still wouldn't have the votes to override vetoes, either. It's nonsensical to say they therefore shouldn't advocate stuff.

If I were in Congress, I would spend Easter…nah, not my problem, apparently.

It's scary to have a President this divorced from reality.

Point here is, both albums are amazing.

Daicon IV Opening Animation (AI Upscale Remastered - HD) YouTube video by tntboom21

ELO’s “Prologue” and “Twilight” especially featured at the front of one of the most influential anime demos ever, Daicon IV. youtu.be/yDN68LxWW-8?...

It also just occurred to me that Sturgill Simpson’s LP+anime “Sound and Fury” reminds me immediately of ELO’s 1981 concept album, “Time”. I grew up with that album so the resonance clicked quickly.

“Last Man Standing” recalls “Hold On Tight”, especially.

“Time” also featured in major anime lore.

Been revisiting Sturgill Simpson’s back catalog lately, and am at present waiting for the vinyl for his new release to show up.

What a goddamn treat it’s been. Do yourself a favor.

We typically buy the vinyl (home) + CD (car). We’ve been weaning off from streaming for the most part now, at both the insistence of streaming companies to pay a pittance, and our teen son and his friends being _massively_ into owning physical media.

Some of these kids gonna be alright.

Tesla Says Its Robotaxis Are Sometimes Driven by Remote Humans The electric-car maker says it happens rarely and at speeds below 10 mph. But the disclosure—in response to a US senator's questions—occasioned a call for more transparency.

happy trans day of visibility! now more than ever it's important to show up for people in your life regardless of who gets mad about it, because it's the right thing to do.

passivity always favors the oppressors.

so this is obviously not the coolest thing anyone has ever said in a movie but I genuinely consider this line delivery one of the single greatest character establishing moments in all of cinema

the "baba yaga" speech is riveting but this is everything you need to know about john wick in one word
