There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

I found this tiny, young Olive-snouted Tree Frog (Scinax elaeochroa) on my office window this afternoon and spent some time with my macro lens with it.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

a lot of posts about hidden stuff in a house doesn't pan out so it was cool to see one where it did, and they might find more

There was a post on reddit of someone who bought an old house in Spain and they were told it was a hideout for anti Franco forces and they found a hidden cache of stuff under a stone oven after a tip from a townsperson

There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids.

One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi.

Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.

Former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been under house arrest for plotting a coup and assassinations of the president, vice president and chief justice.

He used a soldering iron on his ankle monitor and lied about that. Burn marks on its circumference betrayed him.

Now, he's in custody.
HE TRIED TO GET IT OFF USING A WELDER

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HE’S SO DUMB, HOW WAS HE ONCE PRESIDENT OMG

Narcissists are very simple; they want to be seen as cool more than anything in world. They abhor losers and love winners. Mamdani is charismatic, cool, assertive, and doesn't give a shit about Agent Orange personally. That's exactly the combination that Trump would fawn over. Shades of Roy Cohn.
