The boy came home tonight profoundly upset. Hebrew school was apparently half about ICE, and half about Gaza, and the combo just overwhelmed the dude. I'm now upset that a) this was handled/presented in a way that made him so upset, because this is heavy shit for anyone, let alone

I went through a period in/after college where I was obsessed with martial arts movies, and listened to a ton of music with Japanese or Chinese lyrics where I had no goddamn idea what they were saying, but I loved them.
These people are just fucking souless weirdos.

Both these options sound objectively amazing, why do racists keep assuming everyone's racist?

Been making my way through the Ultimate collection of Bendis' Daredevil run, and I gotta say, it might be one of the best things I've read from Bendis besides Ultimate Spider-Man. Some really good stuff in there.

Seriously, explaining the gay was one of the easiest things I've ever done. (It helps that we have gay friends, but still). It's not complicated unless you're a fucking bigot.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

NEW: Of all the states that voted for Harris over Trump in 2024, there's only one where a Dem governor is overseeing an ICE's 287(g) program:
Massachusetts.
Other blue states have quit, or even outright banned it. My colleague on what's happening: boltsmag.org/massachusett...

I continue to love this series of pods for helping make this book actually make some sense. The philosophy is a nice bonus too.
More seriously, the "person as ship of Theseus" idea really resonated with me. Every now and then, I reflect on/realize that me of today would be almost unrecognizeable

Hey there, team. My name's Jason, I'm a journeyman motorsports journalist, TTRPG writer/designer, editor/proofer, and motorcycle mechanic/restorer from Detroit. I'm currently looking for meaningful employment in any of these fields. I've had all my shots, and can provide best references.

That was absolutely amazing.
“god bless America” meaning the continents of North and South America is going to give the worst people alive a collective aneurysm :)

I barely paid attention to this game, but that halftime show was goddamn amazing. The skill involved in the whole thing was mind blowing.
(Also, it probably made a bunch of white supremacists hella mad, so that was great too)

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
My top three (for right now, subject to change):
"I appreciate your concerns, but you're not my client, your child is."
"Yes, that cop is an asshole."
"Because the law doesn't work that way."

World's Slowest DS9 rewatch. S,1, E 13. "Battle Lines"
A solid episode, and definitely one of the better ones in S1 (Kira focused episodes often are). It's a classic Star Trek moral dilemma, although one where the victim's of the dilemma end up scrambling the dilemma by being huge fucking assholes.

ICE abducted someone in Roslindale today. Just yanked from their car and disappeared because that's what the Gestapo does.
Thankfully people were there and hopefully this person will be identified and located.

I have a decent amount of Boston-area journalists following me so I'll put out my plea to not use terms like "immigration enforcement" or "immigration crackdown" if we get an ICE surge. We know exactly what's happening: The Trump regime is targeting a region that has been opposed to its policies.

buy art from me
Because I’ve seen several folks in my timeline ask: this is an insane number of cases to be assigned in this short period of time. While obviously practice areas differ, getting hit with more than one case a day for two months straight is just nuts.
According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep.
PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

$180/$400! Can you get me to $200? Buy art!
Today’s goal: $400! Any amount helps - buy art or donate to the disabled artists sick day fund!
I am trying to raise $1,800 to present an art show called “Solidarity As An Art Supply.”
The point of this show is to explore ways to “do solidarity” in the art world.
This $ will be used for printing and framing materials.
As a supporter, you will receive the work of art of your choice!
