Drop an old person you are going to turn into in the future.
Basically all rock bands are guitar-driven, but only Dire Straits was so guitar-driven their *drummer’s* name was Pick Withers.
I didn’t think this was stressing me out until people started mentioning a cat and I realized I became so hyper-focused I never saw it!
Honestly, I’ve seen that model parked in spaces 8 feet long by backing up to the curb. That is, both rear wheels touching the curb, pointed perpendicular to traffic flow. Also, if s/he’d just left it on the grass, it doesn’t weigh enough to leave a mark.
Weird, putting tariffs on construction materials and throwing day laborers in concentration camps should have solved the supply problem by now
I think you’ll find that’s my name on the trademark application, Dave.
I was kinda hoping for *other* examples. Citing the same event I called weird as proof it’s not weird is… …well, I’m not gonna say it.
Have you EVER seen a court tell counsel, “contact your clients and make sure *the opposing party* did ______”? I’m not in the field anymore, but I’ve never seen that. That’s way more than a joint status report, and pretty weird imo, but maybe that’s a thing now?
…didn’t realize they were also asked to report something.
The electronic filing system does email the attorneys when something is filed. In DOJ’s case, no attorneys had yet made their initial appearance to receive the email. For plaintiffs, it really didn’t make sense to ask them whereabouts of kids they didn’t have custody of, and they skimmed and…
Not that I trust either Rudy’s or law enforcement’s stories as a rule, it’s plausible to me that after waiting for LEOs to arrive at the first scene, someone realized, “shit, were gonna miss the beginning of the movie—should we go tomorrow instead?” and went home.
Hahahaha!
Putting an obligation on plaintiffs to watchdog defendants seems weird. Sanctions (on top of pissing off the judge) are the usual means of ensuring parties don’t lie to the court.
Still confused why she required the children’s counsel to file something when they had zero children in their custody and no firsthand knowledge of their whereabouts. I mean, no wonder they didn’t realize the court had required a status report from them as well.
Silver Snot is my new band name. Dibs!
Thanks Daniel!
Happy Labor Day 🙂
Just an astonishing, powerful op-ed that drives home what we are losing and what's already been lost. We are so incredibly fortunate to live with the advances modern medicine and health science. Destroying and stymieing it is just unforgivable. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
I think the leading theories here are plausible, but I’d like to hear from someone in the field who I can trust. Paging @weatherwest.bsky.social
This is really easy to do
@kenwhite.bsky.social, would you like to opine on the relative credibility of police reports versus press releases from Rudy Giuliani?
Everything is terrible, but no one has told Charlie, so he’s Mr. Happy.

He may well be a rapist. But the only evidence of Bill being a pedophile that I’m aware of is him being on the Epstein flight logs—and I don’t think we can assume that everyone who ever flew on Epstein’s private plane is a pedophile. Is there more?
Blue heron contemplates whether he should go back to school.
These kids just need to get the experience to not be entry-level anymore, so it’ll be fine. Oh wait….
Trump will claim (to the Wall Streeters) that this was his plan all along and that he made them a lot of money, so they should support him.
Walked through here on the way to the nats game yesterday. Normally this park would have people flying kites, playing frisbee, having a picnic. Now it's just sad and lonely, and mostly fascist.
Is it scaring a cat?

When a judge has to be woken at 2:36 am, enter a temporary restraining order, and set a hearing for 3:00 pm in the middle of a holiday weekend, AND THEN HAS TO MOVE THE HEARING FORWARD BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT IS ALREADY VIOLATING THE TRO, somebody needs to be facing sanctions and/or contempt charges.

Creating a profit motive for Israel killing more Gazans before Trump pays the survivors to leave is sick, sick shit.
Anxious Whimsy is my new band of shy musicians covering children’s songs.

Pretty sure that first shot is inspired by Fingol’s Cave.
A lot of smart young men start out as libertarians but most of them grow out of it. I think he (and Penn & Teller) grew more than most though.
A lot of good analysis here:
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
I really hope this becomes the black eye it deserves to be www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
It’s all my fault / credit. I posted this earlier today:
This is why I appreciate the dumbass at my high school who tried to stand on the roof of a moving car, fell, cracked his skull and died. Every addict, felon and loser has achieved more, so thanks for that!
Someone doesn’t know their ass from their elbow.
I was sure Monday was the 31st and I had the whole weekend to catch up some end of month stuff before finalizing things on Monday and submitting them. Fml. That said, I will enjoy setting aside this panic and having no responsibilities this weekend. If I live to see it, lol.
Backward-ass crackers? Not to be too flippant, but as a pasty middle-aged white guy myself, I cringe to think some people assume I’m one of them. Semi-seriously, conservatives roughly speaking are people who will not learn new things except in pursuit of profit.
I got maybe 3 (interrupted) hours of sleep last night and right now I want to kill you. I acknowledge I may be irrational at the moment.

Oh yeah, different beast entirely. (I am sleep-deprived, lol.)
Theory: they could just be trying to “pass” since it’s so embarrassing to be an American right now. Like an American tourist in Europe putting a Canadian flag pin on their backpack.

Man, I had to travel to the ends of the earth to see some.
If you want to stick with an M word, misanthropic works, because pretty much everything they do is hateful toward the people they’re supposed to serve.
Doesn’t count if you don’t mix them on the floor. I don’t make the rules. (Except that one which I just made up.)
My local Indy ice cream shop has a flavor called Candy Store Floor. Why not?
Not the smart ones, no. But Altman? Who knows?
It's possible ... hear me out, here …. It may well be that these people lie their asses off whenever they exhale
Lol. I will always remember a Letterman Top Ten list of Things That Sound Dirty But Really Aren’t. Jumping The Turnstile was one. Windsurfing On Mount Baldy was another.
Me, retreating into a corner and stress-eating.
Appeal to an authority who said the opposite of your thesis is a particularly odd choice of logical fallacy, but since he’s dead at least it’s unfalsifiable. You:
You literally just reversed that saying. There’s a good reason the other version became a saying and yours didn’t.
He has a van.
Same guy. He was the exception.
Lake Onceaforest is beautiful this time of year.
Yes. Trump settled their ludicrous wrongful death lawsuit for $5M.
That would be like putting up statues of confederate generals. I’m being informed….
My wife got exposed to TB accompanying her midwife mom into Indian reservations in Arizona, and then became a teacher. Every fifth year or so she had to get a chest X-ray to prove it was just old exposure and not an active infection. Kinda terrified of so many chest X-rays over the years.
And not just because it requires you to go out and find some tuberculosis, and get the tuberculosis, before you can go to CVS.
🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time. When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”

Better opponents? In this economy?
Funny to say that a thing a millennium older than McKinley is named after him, but, yes, we silly humans did apply that name to it. 🤷🏼♂️
Gotta disagree with the “dress rehearsal” headline, though. Sure , Trump hasn’t *declared* martial law. But he clearly has *deployed* it, selectively.
After the 2017 Las Vegas shooting, Pope Leo retweeted this from Senator Chris Murphy: “Your cowardice to act cannot be whitewashed by thoughts and prayers.”
FDA is authorizing anybody with a risk factor from this list to receive the vaccines, as well as anybody 65+.

There is no conceivable interpretation of the law of war in which a camera set up nearby legitimizes a mass casualty double tap strike on a protected civilian site like a hospital. The fact that Israel is citing it as if it meets some standard should, by itself, trigger a halt in weapons to Israel.

DOJ prosecutor: To sum up, you need to make an example of Sandwich-Throwing Guy. Grand Jurors: Oh, absolutely. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/u...
Wouldn’t surprise me either. But in a vain attempt to hold onto what’s left of my soul, I must confess that I made that up. But yeah, they would.
I dunno, Craig. I understand that at Blackwater, “spreading mulch” is their term for firing indiscriminately at civilians and just leaving the bodies to rot.
Still looking for a pundit to point out that Trump has *deployed* martial law, even if he hasn’t declared it.
Credibility doesn’t enter into it, unless they chose to only give the GJ testimony instead of show the video, which clearly meets all the elements. So it really is nullification for the GJ to say, nah, a soft object thrown at a ballistic vest doesn’t rate a felony.
