Cops misled journalists about using a powerful surveillance tool to track a woman across state lines because she had an abortion, then tried to cover it up when we found out the truth. Huge story from @jasonkoebler.bsky.social and @josephcox.bsky.social this morning: www.404media.co/police-said-...
Police Said They Surveilled Woman Who Had an Abortion for Her 'Safety.' Court Records Show They Considered Charging Her With a Crime
Court records show that the narrative Flock and a Texas Sheriff's Office has told the public isn't the whole story, and that police were conducting a 'death investigation' into the abortion.

For some strange reason, an email from Google telling me that my Gmail account was logged into [by me] is the latest email to end up in my spam folder.
No idea how or why this happened, but it's one of the weirdest things I've seen this week.

Thoughts on the government Signal leaks:
(1) Goldberg has been a stenographer for US wars for 20+ years, including by embellishing/fabricating info.
(2) the incompetence in this story hides the fact that in my lifetime, the US government hasn't entertained debate on whether to go to/start a war.

Some have (aptly) compared the Trump DOJ's interference in Eric Adams' prosecution to Nixon's "Saturday Night Massacre" in 1973.
But to me, Adams' denials that he sold out the mayoralty in exchange for charges against him being dropped also echo of Nixon's infamous "I am not a crook" statement.

"We hate it when this happens"
The screenshot is from Expedia, but the price change happened at the hotel itself; the pre-tax price spiked from $89 ($99 before a discount) to $161 (a 62.6% increase from the non-discounted price, or 80.8% from the discounted price) in just two days.

Some use the "with thunderous applause" quote to recent events. But to me, this Saruman speech is also apt:
"The old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the orc."
