Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Oscar Bengal, the five year old who witnessed father’s shooting in NY last week, has stopped speaking. But authorities say he was unharmed. I sincerely hope he recovers from this trauma. Also. FUCK ICE

Politicians everywhere need to realize that kids aren't getting paid to revolt against the unreasonable; it just happens. Stop blaming others and fix the problems.

No. The carrots and celery get sliced THIN for the stew. People without teeth don't do chunky very well, and some of the intended recipients of this stew have few teeth.

Every once in a while the availability of bagel, neufchatel cheese, and lox coincide. It is cause for a minor celebration. Today is such a day. My breakfast is replete.

Now would be a great time for democrats to themselves invite election monitors and force Trump to stand by refusing to do so. Make this a big thing NOW before the election happens. He'll almost certainly have to back down, and if he doesn't, it's clear why.

HUGE: The Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes have both voted to impose a three-year moratorium on data center construction on tribal lands — temporarily banning dara centers on 8,000 square miles. The Cherokee Nation, Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Tribe have all imposed similar bans.

@prisonculture.bsky.social ; This should NOT have taken me so long, especially given the crudeness of the design (forced by the crudeness of the available tools)... but I have a library poster for you. Please DM me a means to get it to you as a PNG or JPEG. Thank you (indeed for your patience!).

This man is not our friend.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have penalized people for using smart glasses to record people without their permission in changing rooms, doctor's offices and other spaces people generally consider private.

One anti-pattern that I really, really hate is - when "offering" a feature or upgrade - only presenting a choice between Do It Now and Ask Me Again Later. I would guess that 90% of users, if given their druthers, would actually choose Fuck Off And Never Bother Me Again.

@hickenlooper.senate.gov, @bennet.senate.gov: How important is repairing our standing with our neighbors and allies if we continue to brush off the very international body we should be a part of? Even if we have to send people to trial for war crimes and other acts of evil?

If your rep or senator isn't demanding that the US sign the Rome Statues nor defending the ICC then they are just as equally complicit as Donald Trump in protecting Putin, Netanyahu and betraying Canada, the EU, and all allies. You are either with us or against us.
