I've been a-blockin' and a-mutin' all afternoon but I want everyone to know that I never block for this reply, though the universe gives me multiple opportunities every day. Many would block, but I have the patience of a saint. Go in peace, little one.
Sorry but you must phrase that in the form of a question.

On Jack Smith deposition, now released:

100% obvious why GOP refused to allow this as open testimony, aired live. It's damning.

Testimony from John Dean or Alex ("wiretaps") Butterfield in Watergate days would have 1/10th the impact if just in print.

What Smith says is far more incriminating.

This may seem overly simplistic but I think it’s kind of obvious as an adult that that you should be able to choose other adults to fuck or not fuck based on any reason you want without being scolded

Tolkien also very much drew on the folkloric idea that a dragon’s ill-gotten hoard is a corrupting force above and beyond simple gold, even long after the dragon is dead and gone, and the healthiest response is to walk away from it, a conclusion no techbro can make about their own ill-gotten wealth.
Remember Erebor, the mountain where Smaug killed the dwarves and stole all their money? And then every nation in the world fought a bloody war to try to get their money back?

Techrbos named their new bank after it.
Erebor Bank, Palmer Luckey's crypto-oriented finance startup, just got one step closer to launching
The FDIC approved the bank's application on Dec 16. It still requires final approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.

To give you a sense of how big a departure this year, the government doesn't do this for wanted criminals.
SCOOP: The Trump administration is providing the names of all travelers passing through U.S. airports to immigration officials in search of people with deportation orders, a substantial expansion of government efforts to draw on data to hunt down immigrants.

I would be utterly thrilled to rid the Democratic Party of everyone who was pals with Jeffrey fucking Epstein

why exactly would I want a child abuser to make government policy
"This could take down Democrats, too."

I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office.

First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…
Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

First day of rail extension, and naturally there's a service flail with a track out of service.

It's being handled poorly by Japanese standards, amazingly by English standards, and the fact that it's being handled at all puts it miles beyond any other American system.

No Kings protests, and anti-regime protests in general, serve two main positive functions:

1) Reminding participants and observers that they’re very far from alone, countering regime efforts to divide and isolate

2) Showing the absurdity of regime lies about the peaceful, pro-democracy opposition
Funny they can't say the name of protests because saying "No Kings" makes it soooo clear it's the opposite of a "hate America rally"
Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.
