Tradition now in its third year: watching Nightbreed with my former landlady. What a fun ridiculous romp through the 80s.

What would have happened if the man in the back had told them to play zone instead? Would it still be a ballroom blitz?

I love the vagueness of this post, the attempt to appeal to all citizens of all nations from all of time, yet make no statement specific enough to be bolstered with an example or countered with a question. It's Jordan Peterson, if he chose an AI avatar after reading one Harry Turtledove novel.

This sounds like exactly the kind of "good trouble" that an elected official should be doing!

I will laugh my butt off if the company demolishing the East Wing suddenly stops working until they get paid in full for all the work they've done and are about to do. Imagine that wreckage just sitting there until they get paid with public funds... during a shutdown.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

This seems like some new nitpicky bullshit precedent that will be ignored when it's a white football player accused of being a racist.

Gabriel Malor @gabrielmalor.bsky.social · 20d

6th Cir. holds that the harms to five black UK football players who were falsely accused of crimes after they were subjected to racist taunts by white frat boys at a school party do not constitute deprivations of liberty under the Fourteenth Amendment.

www.opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf...

The parties dispute the third element: deprivation of liberty. According to plaintiffs, they
have been deprived of liberty because they suffered (1) a threat of imprisonment; (2) being
summoned for an arraignment and compelled to testify before a grand jury; (3) the seizure of
their personal property and information; (4) student misconduct hearings; (5) the loss of
educational and athletic opportunities; (6) reputational harm; and (7) emotional distress.
Plaintiffs have suffered greatly in general, and we are without doubt that the allegations
contained in plaintiffs’ complaints are deeply troubling and, if true, reflect extremely poorly
upon the state actors involved. But not every horrible occurrence is a constitutional violation and
plaintiffs’ suffering cannot be appropriately framed as a “deprivation of liberty” under the Fourth
Amendment as understood by this court and the Supreme Court.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

No one is safe, if they can flatly ignore evidence put in front of them.

For the record, I am HONORED that Taylor Swift remembers me fondly enough to devote an entire song to me. The bouquet story is pretty funny, and I'm pretty sure someone has it on tape. I wish her and Travis the very best. #KnockOnMe
