ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

That new one (Touch This Fragrant Surface of Earth) is phenomenal. Listened through twice on the plane yesterday, a very good half-awake flight soundtrack.

Welp, my tossed-off post with a funny-to-me Gen X reference seems to have graduated to the Discover tab; time to turn off the replies

Why do I feel almost certain Bari used AI to write this list

spooky mental haunted house @jesseltaylor.bsky.social · 8d

read item 5, then read the rest of the incredibly repetitive list full of euphemisms and jargon

Patrick Hruby @patrickhruby.bsky.social · 8d

This list could easily be condensed to five items

Doing a sober, serious-minded TV interview about Bari Weiss's appointment to head up CBS News in which I make evidence-based arguments but say her name in the Borat "very nice" voice every time I mention her.

Every time I read something that Stephen Miller has said, all that comes to mind is "shut up little man." I feel like everywhere he goes, he should be shouted down with a chorus of "shut up little man," just because you know it would drive him absolutely berserk.

Yeah, iOS, and the latest version of the app. Just started acting up a week or two ago AFAIK

Weirdly, once I put my phone in airplane mode I was able to access some of the articles that wouldn’t load over WiFi or mobile data?!

Really wish the @newyorker.com would fix its mobile app, getting tired of not being able to load articles (even after deleting and reinstalling the app)

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Finally watched Eddington, and wondering how many MAGA-curious FOX viewers took it as proof that Antifa flies around in a Soros-funded private plane, staging insurrections

Anyone else having trouble with the New Yorker app? For a week or so I simply haven’t been able to get stories to load.
