this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)

However, in the Reddit thread linked above, buried underneath all the confusion and misinterpretation is a link to a YouTube video from June 2006 called “Dan’s Bucket list”, currently at 961 views. But note of course that YouTube titles can be changed retroactively. youtu.be/yTBzFA0FV-k?...

This piece (which links to a few other sources) suggests the 2007 movie as the originator.

@slate.com FYI not seeing part 2 of the new Hit Parade podcast (on movie soundtracks) in my plus RSS feed!

Edmans is a full prof and presumably tenured. Edelman wasn’t and was possibly denied tenure because of the controversy he was involved in (I just googled him and he’s currently involved in a case against Harvard)

There actually was a Prof Edelman involved in an online kerfuffle, Ben Edelman, formerly of Harvard Business School. This is from 2014 so I’m both impressed and annoyed that I remember this…

Just found this amazing rally between 19yo Mika (ranked #577) and Botic van de Zandschulp. During a Zug challenger, only about a month before Goatic beat Alcaraz in straight sets at the US Open.

Great thread. Reminds me a bit of comparing *any* young talented black female tennis player to Serena Williams, regardless of how wildly different their actual playing styles may be.

Met flinke tegenzin open ik af en toe Twitter nog en wel verrast te zien hoe er op die tweets van hem gereageerd wordt (“Temu Trump”, slechte verliezer, huili huili, etc). NL Twitter lijkt nog niet zo extreem te zijn als Anglo Twitter

Uiteraard is de meerderheid NIET diplomaat, maar simpelweg Nederlanders die wonen/werken/studeren in buitenland. Totaal bizar als je beseft dat er ongeveer 150 NL ambassades/consulaten zijn wereldwijd, en nee ik denk niet dat die een paar 100 diplomaten per ambassade in dienst hebben.

Dit is misschien beetje muggenziften maar Arjan van N (die ik best okay vind normalitair) deed op Nieuwsuur ook een bizarre uitspraak over brieven stemmers in buitenland. Zegt (correct) dat dat er ongeveer honderd duizend zijn, maar voegt daar dan aan toe dat dat vooral diplomaten (!) zijn.

Best piece I’ve read about OBAA yet. Links our homie Christ with Benicio del Toro’s Sensei Sergio (the ❤️ of the film) AND Ta-Nehisi Coates’ vital perspective from his interview w Ezra Klein a couple wks ago. THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!! Please read this. bsky.app/profile/sojo...

Wonderful tribute to Keaton with a few tidbits that I hadn’t read before, including her side job as real-estate investor and her mostly anonymous patron of the arts/photography

Sting’s performance of The Rising during the Springsteen’s Kennedy Honors concert is outstanding
