conservative scotus justices to this spokesperson for the department of homeland security: hold my beer.
!["Maybe I wasn't clear yesterday; that wasn't a suggestion," [Judge Sara Ellis] told lawyers for the Trump administration. "I am modifying the temporary restraining order to include body-worn cameras."
"It's not up for debate," she added.
Federal agents at large wear body cameras but federal agents in Chicago have not been.
"This was not a suggestion," Ellis said in court. "It wasn't a hint. It wasn't a topic of discussion or conversation. It was an order. So, I will enter it today and then I will expect that it will be followed."
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security called the ruling an "extreme act of judicial activism."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ilclcdqmxwarvr2jdngsakdb/bafkreigcopbp36hqjbdcqgtetyasqeashvadgn2shjusktahvophsl4via@jpeg)

i dunno. feels like they'd be on pretty solid ground phrasing this as "his lies about positive economic developments."
but then i'm not a journamalist.

both of these heds are written as if in disregard of priors
we've known this about maga all along; both lithwick and stern know that this is who john roberts is. (in fairness, neither likely cribbed this hed.)

i feel as if the writer who cribbed this hed lacks a basic understanding of cause and effect
or maybe they're just afraid to write it the way it should be written
a suggestion:
"How performative cruelty as a policy led to a Maryland dad being illegally remanded to an offshore gulag"

when llms grok what 49% of the american electorate steadfastly refuses to see, i again find myself asking: are these things less apt at pantomiming a capacity for reasoning than the average human being?
i.e., does the average _american_ human being do much more than pantomime at reasoning?

other examples? the original mfsl _low spark of high heeled boys_ and _shoot out at the fantasy factory_ feature alternate versions of both the title track of _low spark_ and "roll right stones", among others. again, not the original two-track masters.
but both remasters sound great.

returning to an old favorite: elton's "where to now st. peter?" from my favoritest of his records.
is there a more touching, moving, beautiful pop song, a beauty distinguished more by its gestalt than by its lyrical content? (taupin's lyrics are pretty + evocative, john's music is otherwordly.)

this trump voter has regrets
but i'm curious as to what they thought they were voting for if not this? not the plain language of what this doofus said (ad nauseam) during the campaign?
ffs the first page of their feed is enough to induce CTE by means of repetitive face-palming.
and so it goes
