nyc born and raised; you have now been warned
[ i'm standing on a rooftop engulfed in flames, watching smoke rise to blot out the sky as society burns all around ]

but WHY is all the hope gone?

[ push notification vibrates in my pocket; i pull out and check my phone ]

...oh. right.

NEW: Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about.

DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

I was a bit worried about the clickbaity headline but this is actually a very good and knowledgeable look at Dan Dare and his legacy—and goes into some of the reasons I was so interested in working on this book

this completely tracks with what's been reported about the hiring practices/standards for cbp and ice agents under this administration. they are actively recruiting unstable violent individuals and idek if this guy is representative of the worst of them.
So… A BP agent filmed in LA in June kidnapping someone from a Walmart got arrested by Long Beach cops after drunkenly flashing his service pistol in a women’s restroom. He demanded they call BP Commander Bovino. After making bail he died of a drug OD at his parents house. lbpost.com/news/isaiah-...
A viral arrest, a drunken brawl and an overdose: the last days of a notorious Border Patrol agent
We obtained hours of body-camera video that give the fullest — and perhaps last — glimpse of Agent Isaiah Hodgson’s mindset when he became a flashpoint in the fight over immigration raids.

This week I have had to conceptualize Bill Clinton receiving oral sex to a degree that, as someone who lived through the mid-90s, I never expected to have to do again.

this is delightful (also not adult content, it's just runway modeling with some skimpy pieces)
Knitwear made with wool from a sanctuary for gay sheep was sent down the runway this week in NYC as part of “I Wool Survive,” a campy knitwear fashion show that event sponsor Grindr describes as the “world’s first truly gay fashion collection.”

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

me, worried about having heat and healthcare this winter, learning that the newest overconsumption trend war being waged against employees and fellow customers alike is over a $30 glass bear cup from starbucks (which is at least cute, unlike stanleys/labubus) being resold for up to $700:
a man wearing a black t-shirt that says tcgplayer on it
Alt: a man in a t-shirt and beanie (much like the holiday bear cup!) laughing in that 'oh no' sort of way and rubbing his face as he asks the cameraperson "how did we get here?" capitalism was a MISTAKE.

all the trump-approval-related headlines right now can be lumped together into "regardless of party, americans are beginning to notice that the president is a lying liarpants who lies about everything nonstop because it's extremely obvious now"

y'know actually it's fine if i'm up all night smushing my face and muttering 'ohhhh noooooo' at pretty much every aspect of reality; i have a psychiatrist's appointment today.

that's like the only acceptable place to look like my hysteria-tinged explanation of why i'm hanging by a thread sounds.

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."
