wait wait wait.

the Trump admin is arguing...that prop 50......is racist???

i'm assuming they're going to argue that it's racist against white people???
The administration’s move to join that lawsuit is a dramatic escalation in the legal challenge, which, if successful, could scramble Democrats’ plan to push back against a nationwide effort by Republicans, at the behest of President Donald Trump, to boost the party’s chance of holding on to their House majority through rare, mid-decade redistricting ploys across several states. Lawyers for the Trump administration told the federal judge overseeing the case in the Central District of California on Thursday that days after the case was brought last week, the “federal interest” in the matter became clear given the constitutional issues and claims of race-based discrimination at stake in the challenge. They argued that the redistricting plan was sold to voters as a purely partisan effort, when in fact “the focus was not partisanship, but race,” which they say would be impermissible under the US Constitution. “Our Constitution does not tolerate this racial gerrymander,” the Justice Department lawyers wrote in court papers. “Because the Proposition 50 map does, the United States respectfully requests that this court enjoin defendants from using it in the 2026 election and future elections.”

Look I know everyone is calling out the NYT right now, but let's not forget about WaPo. This was their headline last night. Which is literally not true- nothing in what he wrote says that Trump didn't participate...it just doesn't explicitly say that he did. Those are two different things.
A headline from The Washington Post that says "Epstein wrote that Trump knew of sexual abuse but didn't participate".

This is how they're framing it- which I agree with you on, but it seems like all media is saying "this means he wants us all dead".
Yet Mamdani has left no doubt that his support of the Palestinians and refusal to accept Israel’s legitimacy as a Jewish state are central to his identity and purpose. His first statement after the Hamas massacre in southern Israel, issued on October 8, 2023, mourned “the hundreds of people killed across Israel and Palestine in the last 36 hours,” condemned Israel for going to war, and called for dismantling Israeli “apartheid.” Campaigning for mayor, he repeatedly accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, made clear he supports the boycotting of Israel (an effort ultimately intended to deny Israel the capacity to defend itself against enemies openly committed to its destruction), equivocated on whether Hamas should lay down its arms, and refused to condemn calls to “globalize the intifada” (though he later said he would discourage use of the phrase).

So I decided to see what the experience of trying to get concert tickets is like and there is NO WAY that Ticketmaster could not prevent this shit from happening.

Face value ticket in Loge 6 is $186. The VAST majority of tix are resellers. For OVER $100 MARKUP. On the day general public sales open.
A ticket map of TD Garden showing the stage and floor and a bunch of pink dots representing available seats that are resale. A screenshot showing Loge 6 Row 16 is $186.15. A screenshot showing "verified resale ticket" Loge 6 Row 18 for $295.85.

Can you IMAGINE anything more perfect than this cat???
A small, very fluffy dilute calico cat. She is laying on a red carpet, and her belly is up. Her back feet are out, and her front feed are tucked, her ears are picked forward, and she is looking at the camera very cutely.

We are not happy that the time changed. Why is dinner later???
A very fluffy grey cat sitting on a grey cat tree. He's got a big ruff. His ears are perked and his green eyes look alert with big pupils. One foot is slightly off the edge of the shelf, and his tail is hanging off the other side.

Straight line from these to potoos.
A picture of a bird that kind of looks like a Muppet. It is brown and looks more fuzzy than feathery, it has its wide v-shaped beak open, and you can see one eye which is yellow with a black dot in the middle. This is not AI.

I have decided to go sit at the end of the driveway in case any children come along.

A white person pictured close up, with a wide rimmed black hat, a goat skull necklace with chain mail, and long nails that are mostly black.

Their short, greying brown hair is tied up in a bun, frizz all over, and they're wearing a black KF94 style mask. They're sitting on a train with maroon seats and a pink wall.

My Bosco. December 9, 2022. Waiting for the vet to come in and start the process of saying goodbye.

I love the cats I have now, but he was the best ever. Snuggled under the blankets, always wanted to be near me, with me, on me.

I have his ashes and a heart I felted from his fur on a shelf.
