Can’t help but note the irony that pistons fans spent the first 3 games complaining about Brunson being a foul merchant and an unethical grifter (unlike the Detroit tough guys) - yet are now complaining about a foul call w/ THJ leaning into a defender.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.
The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

100k people marching, but I have the bad feeling they're (we're) going to end up with Cuomo as Mayor.
It's not enough to march in the streets, we need to put strong progressive people in leadership roles, not centerist Democrats.

Don't forget when they were mad at Obama for saving the US auto industry.
SHUT THE FUCK UP GOP!!! I am young enough (not that young) to remember (only last 2 years) when you attacked companies like Bud Light, Target, etc. Oh, and let's not forget Disney and the moronic fight in Florida (don't say GAY).
As for companies failing, the marketplace thinks TESLA is crap.

A million cars have disappeared!
“Congestion pricing [in New York City] began on January 5. One month in, traffic is down, public buses are faster, and transit ridership is up.” Via @fastcompany
No surprise for those of us championing decongestion pricing for a long time. We know it works.

The FAA is facing its first major aviation disaster in 16 years without a leader because Elon Musk helped push him out. The former FAA administrator stepped down on Jan. 20th after Musk called on him to resign. Musk was angry after the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes.

New White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did her first press briefing today and told a number of demonstrable lies (about condoms for Gaza, the criminal records of undocumented migrants, and more).
This is how the New York Times covered it.

Now do guns.
Giant cars really do appeal to guys who are insecure about their masculinity:
"Men whose masculinity was threatened reported viewing the SUV as more desirable, and reported being willing to spend more money to purchase it than did unthreatened men."

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.
