Finally, an answer to why the nonsense company names!
courtneymilan.com Courtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 12h
It’s essentially because of trademark, both Western and Chinese. They know if they use something that infringes on a Western trademark, it’ll get taken down, so using nonsense is safer.

But also, Chinese trademark law bars trademark that is in any way descriptive.

This is an extremely alarming story. This goes much further than even Bondi's reversal last year of Garland's journalist subpoena policy, which I covered here: www.lawdork.com/p/bondi-reve...

The FBI searched a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into classified material, people familiar with the matter said. It is exceedingly rare for federal agents to search a journalist’s home. trib.al/tKsg85n

This. For years whenever I talked to people who said "universal health care can't work," I would ask why every other industrialized nation had it but we didn't. Are we just stupid? And they never had an answer for it.

Our government has worked overtime to create a nation of learned helplessness.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵
Screenshot of a data visualization titled “The Cost of American Exceptionalism,” subtitled “What would change if the U.S. matched the OECD average?” The page explains that each card shows how outcomes would change if the U.S. matched the average of 31 peer democracies. Below, a section labeled “Economy & Inequality” displays eight cards comparing U.S. figures to OECD averages. Highlights include: +$19K per household per year in redistributed income and +$96K in redistributed wealth if the top 1% matched OECD shares; a 71% lower CEO-to-worker pay ratio (from 354× to 101×); 50 million more workers with union coverage; 26 million more people with health insurance; $2.1 trillion saved annually in healthcare spending; $691 less per person per year in prescription drug costs; and intergenerational economic mobility being twice as high. Each card shows the U.S. value alongside the OECD average.

It already is consistent with other law enforcement agencies, this is the problem

Q: Is it your posture to put restrictions on ICE as a condition for funding DHS?

JEFFRIES: Renee Good should be alive. There was no justification. There are common sense measures that need to put in place so ICE can conduct itself in manner at least consistent w/ every other law enforcement agency

NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.

This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

Part 2 with the alt text for the poem (yes I typed the whole thing out for the alt text 😅)
Reply username: somecunttookmyurl Here i re-wrote it as a poem to fit your tag Somewhere far away from me And impossibly long ago, now A mother holds her child up high To leave a handprint on the wall A man I will never meet Climbs a rock for fun He writes a message on the stone And he says "this is very high" Somebody, once Cooked a meal and burned it Took the pot to the land outside their house And buried the evidence An Egyptian king Thousands of years before my birth Wore a shirt embroidered with little ducks And kept it, lovingly, in a chest In a prison cell within a tower A man stretches through the centuries And marks off the days of his sentence As lines on the wall A long-forgotten monk Labours over a manuscript by candlelight And writes in the margins He is bored, and he has a hangover They leave pieces of themselves behind And they say "I was here I was here please do not forget me I was alive and I loved and I got sick I had a favourite animal I was here. Do you love me? I love you" Yes, I do. I hold your life between my hands And I see it, and I love you I scratch my name into a rock On a tree, I carve my initials And the initials of someone I love So very much I bury a box in my garden And I write in the margins I reach into the future To somebody I do not know A stranger who will never know me "Hello, you" I say "I was here, once. I loved and I got sick and I had a favourite color Do not forget about me, please I love you"

It's a long one, but my other favorite is Areppo, so this is still shorter (I'll reply with the rest of the alt text) 1/2
Screenshot of a tumblr post: Username: somecunttookmyurl There is a tendency with history, I think, because we're so far removed from it, to kind of forget that all of the people were people A child 10,000 years ago left a handprint on a wall. They were fingerpainting. A viking climbs up a rock just to carve the words "this is very high" 10 ft off the ground. Somebody centuries… millenia… ago burned their dinner so thoroughly that they buried the ruined pot in their backyard rather than attempt to clean it. Shakespeare got drunk and wrote dick jokes. Tutankhamun was a little boy who liked ducks more than anything. A Roman carves his name into a monument in another country said "I was here." A prisoner, centuries ago, in the tower of london scratches lines into the wall as a tally marking the days. A medieval monk scrawls in the margins bemoaning the boredom of his work. Every human being across history has said "i was here. I lived. I loved. I made something. I laughed. I cried. Please do not forget me" Reply username: somecunttookmyurl Most of us are not important enough that we will be remembered by name for more than a few decades. We are not kings or queens or great military leaders or innovators or influential artists, musicians, authors. But all of us, every one has a deep primal need to persist. We leave handprints on the wall, scratch out names into stones, carve initials into a tree, mark our growth as children on a wall, bury little time capsules. Write in the margins of a book. Hide notes behind wallpaper. Reaching out into the future to some unknown human long after we're gone to say "Hello, you. I was here once."
