Oh ok, the people who lied about being electors so that they could hand Michigan to Trump, who knows what they intended by doing that

"At a hearing Tuesday, Ingham County Judge Kristen Simmons determined prosecutors had not shown that the Republicans had intended to defraud anyone and dismissed the cases. 'I don’t believe there’s evidence to prove intent,' she said from the bench."

This is also silly to me
Quote from NYT article: "At the time, she vowed that if Brown faced a confrontation “directly impacting our ability to perform essential academic and operational functions, we would be compelled to vigorously exercise our legal rights to defend these freedoms, and true to our values, we would do so with integrity and respect.” Brown ultimately decided not to sue the Trump administration over the funding freeze."

Broooos noooooo
NYT update re: Trump/Musk feud: "Kanye West, the performer and Trump supporter who has a history of antisemitic and other controversial comments, is now encouraging Trump and Musk to end their quarrel. 'Broooos please noooooo," he wrote on X, Musk's platform, with an emoji of two individuals hugging one another. 'We love you both so much.'"

Some of my favorite signs from the rainy Boston #handsoff march
Protest sign that says, "Eggs too expensive? Eat the rich" Protest sign that says, "I like my ICE crushed" with a drawing of an ice cube Bright pink protest sign that says "Only you can prevent fascism", with a drawing of Smoky the Bear holding his own sign of a crossed out swastika Large pretest l protest sign that's painted to look like Trump wearing a MAGA crown while sitting on the toilet with his pants around his ankles. The toilet bowl is shaped like the continental US and is colored like the American flag. The toilet seat behind Trump reads, "Together we can stop this shit!"

From the Chop Wood, Carry Water substack, here is a script people can use to contact their (US) alma maters and ask them to stand strong against authoritarian attacks
Subscriber Pam T. wrote to say that her local political group is asking people to contact their alma maters to ask them to stand strong against the Trump regime. Let’s join them! Look up the president of your alma mater (search “contact president ________ college/university”). You can use your own words or simply say, "My name is _____. I graduated from _____ in [year]. I’m writing because I know higher education is under attack by this presidential administration. It’s crucial that instead of obeying in advance, you work with other higher education leaders to speak out strongly against the authoritarian tactics of the Trump administration. Please be on the right side of history, not the wrong one. Thank you for doing your part to protect our freedoms." Great idea! I sent my note to Northwestern University’s president yesterday. Now it’s your turn.

Picture of Elon musk with spray painted clown hair and clown nose graphics on top. Text says, "This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a clown." Font is comic sans.

The GOP is not a fan of the "fuck around for thee, find out for me" system of government they helped to create
WaPo headline that says, "After ceding power of the purse, GOP lawmakers beg Trump team for funds." Subheading says, "Republican senators asking Cabinet secretaries and other Trump officials to let money flow back into their states." Posted today at 5am ET.

LOCK HIM UP
Gecko from Gecko's Garage, a British cartoon for little kids. Gecko is bright green, wearing a yellow t-shirt and blue overalls. He has a closed mouth smile that looks like he's not interested in negotiating prices. "Welp, that's what it costs, so take it or gtfo."

They now make you take the SATs to login to LinkedIn
Screenshot of the puzzle captcha LinkedIn makes you do. It says, "Let's do a quick security check!" There's a picture of a hand on the left using the index and middle finger to point to the upper left. On the right is a picture of a dog facing toward the hand. The instructions are to rotate the dog to face in the direction of the hand.

@joshhenderson.bsky.social sliding into my group chat
Screenshot of a group chat. Messages from the same sender show a gif of a skinny, red-headed gamer sitting on a brown leather couch making the brrr motion and it says, "keep warm, it's cuddle up day." The sender asks "How is this a gif? You guys know him, right?"

Twitter is on fire and you have time to grab one thing
The rear of a bright green sports car with a spoiler that has the joker perched atop. License plate reads NOFARTS. Decal letters across the rear bumper read, Jesus loves bad guys", below that and interrupted by the license plate, this is attributed to "The (NOFARTS) Joker".
