RIP to Pittsburgh/Rust Belt legend Donnie Iris. An absolute icon.

IPO as ransom note

So @lilianasegura.bsky.social and I just co-wrote a piece about the bodycam footage in the Kohan Wiley case. theintercept.com/2026/10/23/k...

The next room I went to. This is folk music too. I’m in.

voted. got the sticker, got the pen.

news seems bad but some of it betrays total panic. all these hail mary scandals. illegals voting in california! congesswoman under investigation! candidate in mantal hospital! schools forcibly transitioning your kids! candidate actually terrorist! candidate's mom hates her guts! FBI agents indicted!

there’s been an insane amount of noise in the hallway. lots of chatter, people going up to the roof, slamming doors. my neighbor just texted me. the side facade of the building is peeling off and the building department sent a team to rappel down from the roof.

my mother bought this at an actual kossoy sisters concert in the 50s. I used the music in my performances. I believe my last boyfriend took the album. I was distraught. It’s being reissued. Thanks so much for this thread where I learned that. I love this OP but can’t reply directly, so thanks.

the left responds too tepidly to grand announcements of voter fraud. they’ll get an expert to say how rare it is, doesn’t impact results etc. but these claims fall apart, invariably, spectacularly. say with your full chest the charges are bogus. the charges will be dropped. it has to stop.

absolutely heartbreaking. the DOJ did full-on swat raids. they shackled them. the people are baffled and distraught. one guy almost certainly was confused with his son of the same name.

I'd like to know more about what happened this past weekend in Canada, the explosion & fire during military training. The very first reports indicated munitions had struck a gas main or similar, but they've either walked that back or someone talked out of school.

At 10am Judge Ana Reyes will begin an evidentiary hearing in the golf course case at 10am. I'll try to live-blog from the US Courthouse media room for @lawfaremedia.org . This is a case to stop Trump from converting a historic public golf course, open to all, to a Trump style championship course.

Even the shallowest puddle on a city street can become a scrying mirror. For this is the power of the witch – she refuses the false polarity of magical and mundane. All and everything may hold wonder. All and everything may be a tool of her witchery. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

Of note: Judge Valerie Caproni of SDNY once again expressed doubt the old rules and laws guarding against forgeries and fake evidence aren't good enough to handle this. "We've dealt with bad actors presenting fake evidence since Cain ⁠and Abel," ​she said.

celebrity news is more puerile than ever given the stakes of what's happening in the world. celebrity misbehaves on a plane? do not care. celebrity big mad at a brooklyn toy store? don't care.

the misuse of flock in this case was a cop tipping off his drug dealer friend about an undercover buyer.

you guys see this? yet another gang of cops exchanging racist messages & competing to hassle & arrest the most black people.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

For decades, dozens of boat dwellers lived rent free on a bay just north of San Francisco. A few holdouts remained as a deadline loomed to leave the water. nyti.ms/4i4MLLI

LIBER ELEVEN celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. We’ve remastered the original recordings and brought them back for another round. Some things are best left in the past. This isn’t one of them. theblackdog.bandcamp.com/album/liber-...

Why don't people caught burning in the samsara's flames of eternal love not simply release all their attachments? Are they stupid?

In a series of phone calls between Mayor Mamdani and the Trump administration, the Department of Homeland Security made clear that it wanted the NYPD to arrest Oscar Belgal, the man who an ICE agent shot in Marble Hill.

CLAIM: the ICE agents fired into a vehicle with a child in it for no reason at all FACT: these keys here are jingling isn't that interesting? isnt the sound they make really something?

Patrick Byrne and Mike Lindell gave these guys a fuckton of money years ago so now every election cycle a few election workers doing their normal jobs are picked out to be ritually sacrificed to the reliable outrage mob they’ve cultivated.

two clockwork orange references in 2 days. it's in the air.

cops were similarly shocked when criminals began using facial recognition to ferret out undercover cops. I saw a blue line podcast where they were wringing their hands over this. failure to consider necessary corollaries & nefarious use cases of emerging tech on the part of adopters is endemic.

Another old pic: Atlin Lake.

because if it's true they followed him from Target, Target famously uses facial recognition in their stores. If big box store have integrated their facial recognition cameras with ICE watchlist databases that deserves top-notch investigative reporting & national attention
