Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

I. I did that through a mutual friend

BREAKING from PP

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

20 years since the last album but they keep touring (outside the U.S.) so they're not disbanded...feels like a deliberate attack on me, tbh.

I'm glad (but sad) Task will end this week so that's one less to watch.

Meanwhile, I'm now 3 weeks behind on The Morning Show...it lurks in the shadows like Michael Myers.

Happy The Diplomat S3 Day! This season shakes things up in ways that I was not expecting, but thoroughly enjoyed. Keep an eye out for a couple of pieces from me on later episodes, coming soon. For now, enjoy this delightful image.

Holy shit. This is Angelo Elia, a legislative correspondent for Congressman Dave Taylor.

According to @rooster.info, during a Zoom meeting today, he had an American nazi flag displayed in the background.

Breaking news: The Supreme Court seemed open to further limiting the use of race in drawing legislative maps, a move that could undermine the last major pillar of the Voting Rights Act, which bolsters the power of minority voters and candidates.
