Back from a very hard trip to the west coast for another installment of Saturday Half Or More. Exercising really helps me process life. Lots of pictures and videos from a chilly (36F/2C) but windless run. #halfmarathon #jerseyshore #running #fallmorning

How does Yglesias have relevance. He is exactly who every major leader of movements in American history have spoken out against. My god this is bad!

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

10000% correct

Some people clearly need to hear this: Every big successful peaceful protest movement of modern history had a violent counterpart. Peaceful protest stopped working the moment the ruling class realized ignoring it wouldn't lead to violent uprising.

Drone photographer Theresa Graham (tgraham.photography on IG) captured this Ornate Eagle Ray (Aetomylaeus vespertilio) off Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. These rays are called the "unicorn of the sea": fewer than 100 sighting have been documented. We suspect they're critically endangered.

As promised, today (Tuesday) I did my Saturday Half Or More because of a family situation this weekend. Some nice pictures and videos. #jerseyshore #halfmarathon #runner

Another Saturday and another half or more. Today was beautiful and I got 15 miles in. Next Saturday won't happen, traveling, so I will try for the coming Tuesday. #halfmarathon #jerseyshore #running

Protesting matters, but in America, peaceful protest has never led to real constitutional change. C the American Revolution, the Civil War, women's right to vote, & the Civil Rights movement (which didn't lead to an amendment, but did lead to meaningful legislation). All went far beyond "peaceful."

If protesting didn't work, would those in power be doing everything they can right now to vilify protestors and crack down on free speech? Activist and author Annie Leonard offers an important history lesson on why protest is so important — and why it's needed now more than ever.

#ResistanceRoots Hiroshi “Hershey” Miyamura was born on this day in 1925 in Gallup, N.M. He is known for being the only soldier whose Medal of Honor was classified Top Secret while he was held as a POW. His story is one of patriotism, bravery, loyalty and humble service against incredible odds. /1

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

The logical conclusion of Zionism: The 96-year-old leader of Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox non Hasidic) Jews is "anti-Semetic" - because he is anti-Zionist That's according to Naftali Bennet, former Israeli Prime Minister, current leader of the 2nd largest "opposition" party in the polls.

Well, it is Saturday and I did my half or more. Wasn't feeling it but came into it the last few miles. #jerseyshore #halfmarathon

It’s a lesson they should have learned in 1787.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Have we gotten to the point now where we should just assume that any guy who is trying to get you inebriated is also planning to sexually assault you?

The Premier League must fully punish Manchester City. These violations are extreme. They need to lose their titles and be demoted to at least League 2.

A simple idea that may be a bit difficult for those in the AI industry: train your chatbots better! This really isn't complicated.

Women trying to succeed in Silicon Valley AI and effective altruist spaces are reporting feeling serious social pressure to attend sex parties - where people have reported being sexually assaulted, like below. Events like Aella’s “Slutcon,” which is happening again this weekend.
