All net proceeds of all these shirts, hoodies and onesies will go to aid organizations in Minnesota working to protect their neighbors from terror. Fuck ICE, stand with Minneapolis.

It’s currently operating totally outside of our constitutional rules. Habeas corpus , due process of law, equal protection, freedom of speech, 4th amendment protections against search and seizure, are all not being enforced in any common sense or meaningful way.

And, again: Why? Overwhelmingly to seize people with no criminal records and/or who are in the country legally. It's not only heavy-handed, it's also almost entirely gratuitous.
It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

As the AI bubble bursts you are going to see lots of "sensible AI" guys who talk about "what AI can really do" to try and be the "smart guys in the room that can tell you the truth" so they don't have to explain why they spent years claiming LLMs were the future. can't wait

The Odyssey: Ourobus
I want to make a movie of @musicologyduck.bsky.social's bus odyssey, with Jason Statham playing the bus driver who's just had enough and goes rogue at a rest stop
The character will be identified as French in the film, but I absolutely won't make Statham change his accent

I keep thinking about, in the wild wild wild card era, what if owners who didn’t make the playoffs in 10 years were forced to sell?
The more I think about this, they probably benefit more from a salary cap than anyone else.
Does baseball need a salary cap? No.
Are the Dodgers acting the way they are so that there is demand for a cap? Absolutely.

Reflecting how crazy it is to reveal that your lead singer actually has a fantastic voice and range outside of Ian Curtis’s, 4 years and 2 albums in, by doing this on the final verse of the final song on your Belsat special… I’ve never seen anything like it

Part of the collection of incredible Molchat Doma opening acts, Nuovo Testamento was originally based in Italy and Germany, but are now in LA. This track was on the shortlist for best of 2025 for me, good stuff.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing
