DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states.
DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand.
My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases.
DOJ is now 0-5.
My firm is 5-0.
Lesson: When we fight we win.
mamdani being a cheerful normal guy that people project absolute insane things on is one of the things that make him very relatable to me, personally
Coming out of agnostic retirement to rejoin the Counter-Reformation on the side of the papists is not how I expected my fifties to go.
The Presidential podium is designated for the POTUS to address the nation or hold press conferences.
The fact this narcissistic twat used it to spew lies, regarding a salacious relationship with a pedophilic sex trafficker, will piss me the fuck off for quite some time.
Idk how to explain this but Quentin Tarantino films give me 2nd hand book store energy. Idek if that's derogatory.
I just a video on small towns down the Mississippi Delta and I think it fried my brain. I don't I can live in those towns, but I think it did rewire my brain on what people think is appealing. I'm still a big city guy but I am imagining myself running a 2nd hand bookstore with games in a small town.
At least 24 chimpanzees have been killed in a war that has split the Ngogo group of wild chimpanzees in two, turning former kin into enemies.
all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant
Beautiful morning here in Western Washington.
To all who celebrate
I'm going max out all my capabilities and opportunities first I guess. It's just a nice thought. Maybe I just want an easy, happy, relaxing life.
I love Shenzhen and all, but a part of me is wondering if I'd be happy heading back to Kuching, opening a 2nd hand book store attached a thrift store, that also happens to have old boardgames the community could come over and play. Maybe have a spot people could and play MTG. Proxy friendly.

OH. MY. GOD.
THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.
A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.
in persian culture, telling someone "we're going to kill you all" is considered deeply offensive
Now that they're trying to pretend their war is not a war, they've gone back to calling it the Defense Department.
I knew my family switching to hybrid cars would be a good investment in the long run, but I didn't think the long run would get here so soon.
it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world
Big moment for Europe: in December, fully electric cars outsold petrol-only cars in the EU for the first time.
This shows that clear, consistent policy works. Which is exactly why backtracking now would be a mistake. Rolling back targets or creating uncertainty would slow investment and innovation.
America is completely out of control. A vile and inhumane government with a weak and largely complicit opposition party. It shocks me to see how little the American people are doing to stop this insanity. How can any of us ever trust this country again? Ever?
*she knows her shit
So some magat ran up to Ilhan Omar spraying something and right before security got to him, she actually approached him with her fist up and keys in hand.
She know her shit and she's ready to stand her ground. Magat was lucky he was tackled.
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
Watercolour drawing of mixed flowers in a yellow-tinted vase plus some apples from the garden on a patterned kitchen tablecloth.
A photo of this watercolour in situ with the vase of flowers (which was rotated so doesn't show the side viewed in the painting). I'll have a look for a clear photo of just the painting on other hard drives because I can't find one at the moment. Sold to a friend. #watercolour #botanical
I suspect ICE came down on Minneapolis because they thought it would be easy to provoke rioting there & declare martial law.
That has not proved to be the case.
ICE is further escalating now as a last ditch effort to incite civil unrest.
Hang on, Minneapolis.
It’s always darkest before the dawn.
Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE
The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast
The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side
He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot
That’s murder
Three creators working within Lancer's creative ecosystem told @newmadras.bsky.social that the mech RPG's large fan community isn't just dedicated -- they're indispensable collaborators.
