Graham objected to unanimous consent.

And he blocked the business of the Senate.

Any Senate Democrat could do this.
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT

Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

There is so much bad shit you could say about Melania Trump, but her nude modeling is not one of them. There is nothing wrong with any kind of sex work. Attack that bitch's bigotry and the actual harm she's done without making sex workers catch strays.

here is a foundational problem with AI art that AI cannot solve: anyone using it to make art cannot identify bad art. you learn how to recognize bad art (and improve as an artist) via MAKING art, which they have already fully rejected. the sets do not intersect.
You don't have the be an avowed AI hater to be impressed without lifeless and unwatchable this is.

Guys, I just googled "where does the word palantir come from", and you're never gonna believe this.
It’s always funny when palantir employees discover that they work at palantir
Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com

"In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this."

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

"Which law did Mr. Pretti break, Mr. Patel?"
It's times like this I wish our journalists were (1) competent or (2) moral.

The question is very simple: "Madam Secretary, which of Mr. Pretti's actions constituted domestic terrorism?"

Find your feet, bend at the knees.

A year ago, the United States was the most important country in the world.

Today, the only vestige of this is the fact that there's one sundowning maniac with access to the nuclear football.

The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

Hiding out from the world's troubles only works for some time. Maybe it will be enough time, maybe it won't. But there's always troubles, whether or not you're brave enough to face them alone any given day.
