Nilay might be the best podcaster in the game. One of the few who is willing to ask the same question repeatedly when he's getting BS answers. My guess is he's taken a few depositions in his day. Masterful.
For your citing purposes, U.S. law incorporation of the prohibition against genocide: 18 U.S.C § 1091; U.S. law incorporation of the prohibition against wantonly destroying infrastructure 18 U.S.C § 2441 which incorporates by reference Geneva Convention IV art. 147.
maybe you need to hear this, doomscrolling and news refreshing won’t change what’s happening and you’ll definitely not miss out on any big news
do something you enjoy instead. pet a cat. listen to music. watch a favorite movie.
Some new exhibits just dropped in Musk v Altman trial including these texts with Mark Zuckerberg and Musk
CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"
I may have missed it, but I haven't seen this raid linked to Epstein in any reports. Its far more likely to be about Grok creating AI CSAM and non-consensual nudes. If anyone has sources that indicate otherwise, happy to hear about it.
Either way...
Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:
Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down
Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged
Thuggish violence against observers: Way up
and you would be correct. so many missed opportunities.
Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.
Except in the United States.
Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.
We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.
“Oh, did a sportsball happen?” I whisper smugly from my vantage point on a distant cliff, the sounds of celebration in the village far below just barely audible over the lonely wind whipping my tattered cloak
This is Tom Homan's actual goal and why he is focused on law enforcement cooperation.
I'm just implementing stuff I think is interesting to get a feel for things.
Which of these do we like better? I think the second one, because both Some and None are handled by the map. In the first one, it's kind of ugly and split up between the Some call and the ? operator.

In advance of the inevitable complaining about the Super Bowl I’m gonna politely suggest a “shhhh let people enjoy things.”
What’s also great is reading the dialogue with Claude where it stops and says “I need to stop and be honest with you about something important” and reveals it deleted every single photo. Software built for dunces
The entire Super Bowl is basically a football game and an anti-ICE message. Impressive they’ve managed to actually solidify what might be an ACTUAL 50% plus of the people. Not just the voting 50%.
That takes some doing! May Americans continue to rise up against this tyranny and speak out!
When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.
A New Yorker cartoon. A coach pointing at a chalkboard with a play written on it with lots of X’s and O’s and football players looking on. Text reads: "You're gonna line up like this and then run around giving everyone kisses.
Gonna tell my kids this is Heated Rivalry
If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison
Been thinking a bit about the way that John Brockman acted as Epstein's scientist collector and would organize dinners where Epstein would just happen to show up and I think a lesson here for *white scientists* is if you're being invited to all-white events, that might be actively intentional 🧪
Go far enough left of liberalism and it's the people's term anyway. 😄
I wish Boston well at acquiring a Waffle House and the skilled staff to operate one.
In theory the ring would never choose someone with aphantasia, but the GLC is famously not an organization you apply to join...
As usual, the worst people want to gatekeep "good" and "decent" and "people"...
Newsom keeps putting out content of exactly why you shouldn't vote for him in the primaries.
Reagan is responsible for the death of gay men during the AIDS crisis, an increase in incarcerations of minority populations due to a failed "war on drugs" and defunding and cutting several social services.
Could a human with aphantasia become a Green Lantern? Without an visual imagination, it doesnt matter how strong your will is. #greenlantern #dccomics #whatif

Any AuDHD in that brain of yours? Sounds like me with every deadline ever.
The rise of Starbucks Workers United has energized the labor movement, as the struggle to unionize the mega-chain represents far more than baristas pitted against managers: Starbucks is a global powerhouse. Current fights at places like Starbucks will shape the labor movement for decades to come.
