You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

1: Japanese Sea Nettle
2: Red-banded Leafhopper
3: Giant Green Anemone

Three drawings of arthropod animals in squared formats. The first is a gold and brown jellyfish, the second a red and blue leafhopper, and the third a cluster of green sea anemones in various states of retraction.

Spent all day reading briefs in Louisiana v. Callais and watching white people argue that the 14th amendment is a race-neutral colorblind amendment and citing Plessy for that proposition has me so angry. Just.. come the fuck on.

The Reconstruction Amendments were not intended to be race-neutral.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

I can't find the episode where he said it but he once described his relationship with the show's lawyers as one of conflicting objectives. The writers want to win in court if they get sued. The lawyers don't want to get sued.

The Last Week Tonight writers room conspicuously abides by high journalistic ethical standards. They vet their sources, dig deep into the archives, and fact check so hard they've never lost a defamation suit. It's Frontline with gags.

Tomorrow about a third of Perseverance rover staff will be laid off, despite the mission being the penultimate step in a decades long effort to bring samples back from mars.

Reckless, needless budget cuts intended to hinder the pursuit of knowledge.

My understanding is that therapeutic settings are necessarily private. A patient cannot be safe while exposing their innermost fears to millions of people.

We’ve reported extensively on how the FDA allowed foreign drugmakers to send generic medications to the U.S. from factories with filthy labs and contaminated equipment.

This month, we’re digging deeper and could use your help. THREAD/

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

How much is the City of LA considering paying for an outside monitor on local homeless efforts instead of having our Office do it for FREE? 🤔

AT LEAST $560,000 OR $800 PER HOUR FOR 700 HOURS (MAX) OF WORK!

This diverts funds from essential services during financial hardship.

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated.

or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.
