Just a guy. People should be free to pursue their happiness. Flyers, Eagles, Phils, Sceptres, Sixers. Secret Leaf fan and still pining for the Beauts.

Close to 50 years of fun all thanks to a guy whose name I have only learned today. Thank you Jerry Lawson
This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

Even if you don't have time to read all 83 pages of Judge Reyes's opinion barring the Trump administration from rescinding Temporary Protected Status for 350,000+ Haitians, please at least check out the four-page introduction.

It's a tour de force:

Absolutely.
NEW: I wrote a little about why I think The Athletic should either correct or retract their puff piece on Britta Curl from December, in light of even more evidence of her anti-trans views. It was a blatant attempt at damage control ahead of the Olympics & The Athletic participated in it.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

Marimar Martinez is a hero.

She was shot 5 times by ICE.

The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.

He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.

DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.

Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

Here's an opportunity to support the other journalist arrested today; Georgia Fort, who will have far fewer resources available to her than Don Lemon.
Georgia Fort's is chilling, and it's being overshadowed by the equally chilling arrest of Don Lemon.

A GoFundMe is being set up for Fort. In the meantime, you can support her work directly – without paying massive fundraising platform fees – through her website:

For those outside of Philly who are about to learn Larry's name because of that presser, they have tried to get rid of this guy every way possible. Tried to recall him. Tried to run moderate Dems. He cannot be stopped. He relishes the fight.
