The unhinged responses to the FBI legally searching that one guy’s house exemplifies how they only care about law enforcement when it works in their favor.

There’s absolutely no reason Trump Tower should be shown any more grace than the tents of unhoused people in our city. There’s certainly no excuse for letting supporters of this criminal have roles of authority in our police department. Hold criminals accountable.

Hey I thought you were cracking down on crime? This guy raped his wife and brags about breaking the law, how are we supposed to ride the subway or tell people to go back to work at the office without NYPD brutally assaulting him and then trashing all of his belongings?

Well, this crime is a lot more serious than allegedly selling loose cigarettes, so I hope NYPD will be far more aggressive in their treatment of this grandfather.

I think it's worth going out of your way to avoid notability on social media. The level of abuse & fighting online is not something most people have or need in their real lives. I can't fathom being okay with it Anyway I'm here for friends, not fame
Quote Tweet
One thing that’s not evident enough on social media is how every visible underrepresented person you see with a platform (whether they chose to have one or not) has been targeted for abuse ranging somewhere from upsetting to truly ruinous. The vast majority is nearly invisible.

I wish there were a tool that archived all of the text from captions on TikTok videos and reassembled it back into written articles. There's a lot of good information (and... not-so-good information) being shared on the platform and it would be good to have it be accessible.

“this is an extremely serious problem. Not just for the underpaid, overworked employees at all of these low-wage jobs, desperately hanging on to financial survival by their fingernails, but for all of us.” ⁦⁩ speaks the urgent truth.

(For context, I’d seen the original Predator back in the 80s because someone always had the VHS playing; had no interest in the franchise in general. But Amber Midthunder is incredible in Prey. And probably the opposite of 80s Schwarzenegger in every way.)

I’m glad everybody on here was talking about Prey. Somehow I’d missed any hype or trailers for it, watched it and enjoyed it both on its own terms & as proof that including actors and cultures that don’t usually get a shot can immeasurably improve even the most tired franchise.

This is so cruel. Why are cruel people drawn to government jobs? Can’t you just ruin your own life?

DHS officials worked to keep parents and children apart for extended periods of time, lamenting when reunifications happened too quickly. “We can’t have this,” a deputy at ICE wrote, as reunification “obviously undermines the entire effort.” Live now: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi

One complication here is that many of the lawmakers advancing these bans are fine with keeping women out of the workforce. That's part of the point. Will the corporatists in the GOP win out over the christian nationalists?
Quote Tweet
Wow After the passage of Indiana’s total abortion ban, Eli Lilly, one of the state’s biggest employers, says they’ll be planning their growth outside the state. Because DUH how are you going to recruit women, aka HALF the population, to a state that outlaws their health care?!?

A good way to understand Prince’s relationship to basketball is the show he performed at the Place des Arts in Montreal in 1997, on the night before his birthday. During his guitar solos, he watched game 3 of the Bulls/Jazz finals on a TV at the side of the stage.

Once, during a concert in Montreal,
the Chicago Bulls were in game three of the
playoffs and he was watching the game from a
TV at the side of the stage while he played
guitar solos. He had his wardrobe girl draw up

I didn’t have time to sync up the set list & recording of this Prince show to the play-by-play of Game 3 of the 1997 MBA Finals, but if any of you get around to it, let me know. It should indeed be possible to deduce whether Prince’s guitar solos were timed to Jordan’s baskets.

Ten years ago, a white supremacist, motivated by hatred and racism, took the lives of seven people as they worshiped at their gurdwara. Today, I’m sending strength and love to those throughout Oak Creek.
