My favorite tyrant joke: a man comes every day and peers at the front page of the newspaper without buying it.
The newspaper vendor says, "what are you looking for?"
"An obituary."
"Obituaries aren't on the front page."
"This one will be."

There is something darkly funny about Donald Trump's vice president condemning "ethnic grievance." Your whole platform is ethnic grievance! Like "identity politics" and "political correctness," somehow the term never applies when WE do it.
Folks, would you believe me if I told you JD Vance was over there railing against the immigrants as the reason for the antisemitism

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

It's remarkable how perfectly this awful story is similar to The Dreyfuss Affair, from the banishment to a cruel tropical prison to the world's worst and stupidest people refusing to let it go even for decades after he was freed.
This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs
BREAKING: At 7am ET, in response to the emergency overnight filing, Judge Xinis issued a TRO barring the Trump administration from re-detaining Abrego Garcia.

This is great. The fight is not over but when he was in El Salvador it seemed this day would never come. I am not going to forget the bravery of Senator Van Hollen.
BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released.

People should do what makes them happy, and caffeine isn’t for everyone, but it’s worth noting that black coffee is good for you on balance, so there’s not a tradeoff for most people. It’s a win-win.
Cafes across the U.S. are embracing the low- and no-caffeine lifestyle, with options that are a far cry from dusty tea bags and rewarmed decaf. nyti.ms/3XKlqoj

Hochul signed the crypto amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code. This is a huge embarrassment and a policy disaster. (I am not blaming her in particular, this law has been passed by a lot of states.)
The way the crypto industry corrupted the ULC and the legal profession generally is horrific.

Though I suppose I had endurance, toughness, faith,
Sensitivity, intelligence and talent. My mind’s not right.
With groined, sinning eyeballs I write sonnets until dawn
Is published over London like rows of books by Faber –
Then shave myself with Uncle’s full-dress sabre.
