99 problems. Not great, not terrible.

Ok. Read the complaint. Key factual claim is that the comedic translation ignores the context that makes it wrong. But…the context is in fact being presented with a lion, not a human king. So…good lucky buddy. (Many legal problems too obviously.)

Two factual defenses come to mind before reading the complaint: (1) aren’t these pretty close to the real translated lyrics?; (2) this makes the song seem way cooler to me

Polygraphs are pseudoscience and it is an embarrassment that our security services use them so extensively

So glad the very capable Peter Romer-Friedman pursued this one

On the one-year anniversary of his detention by federal authorities, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and First Lady Rama Duwaji welcomed Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their baby boy, Deen, to Gracie Mansion to break the fast together.

Originally thought due to NBA context that the San Antonio Spurs were somehow being sent down. But now I just think we should add that dynamic to American sports

Tom Kimmerer (@tomkimmerer) To us, it is still winter, with snow and cold to come. Trees, though, are no longer dormant. Dormancy is not caused by weather but by internal chemical signals, and it fades after some period of cold,...

It feels like it's still winter, doesn't it? To trees, it is not. Tree dormancy is not caused by weather but by internal chemical signals which protect trees from cold. Now, most trees are ready to grow as soon as it warms a bit. This photo shows the tremendous flow of sap. Read more at Our Trees.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

Apocalypse no: how almost everything we thought we knew about the Maya is wrong For many years the prevailing debate about the Maya centred upon why their civilisation collapsed. Now, many scholars are asking: how did the Maya survive?

A fascinating - and in places heartbreaking - long read on Mayan cultures, past and present. Archaeology, languages, politics, & identity in medieval and modern Guatemala.

Progressive messaging about homelessness should always at least mention the most important root cause—housing cost! Failing to do so is such a missed layup on leading the public toward durable and popular solutions.

What we’re doing to expand shelter, address homelessness, and keep public space accessible.

So close to setting up a chess board correctly, but the black king is on the wrong square

It isn’t a crime to be here without status. Some but not all forms of getting to that point are crimes.

Is this not how one wins Fifth Circuit appeals?

Security theater undermining activism is a real thing that happens all the time. People need to sit down and actually learn how to think through threat models.

Not every SPD officer wants to follow that statute. But some do! And making sure they are informed about what is a violation so they can report it to the AG is valuable.

This is a great start. Would help to make sure SPD gets annual training on WA’s excellent statute concerning ICE cooperation: www.atg.wa.gov/keep-washing...

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

You there! Boy! Did it happen?

A good sign that something is amiss in how you think about politics is that you find internal contradiction among these positions

Convinced this cover exists just to ragebait chess players. I get the basic visual metaphor. But why nine pawns? Why is the board rotated 90°? Why is the king moving into check?!

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

I’m running for Colorado Attorney General to stand up for the people of Colorado—including holding ICE officers accountable when they break the law. Thankful to join so many others outside the ICE Denver Field Office today.

We're going to need a bigger Hague.
