When a person is abducted, there's a number to call to report & identify. A habeas petition challenging the abduction is electronically filed in that district, by a lawyer admitted in that district, within 30 minutes of the call. Anywhere in the country, 24 hours a day.

Too long for future historical text books. If the S&P loses 500pts today we’re gonna need the name.

Clip of CNBC an article that says: S&P 500 losses approaching Great Depression record. If the S&P 500 ends at least 4% Monday — which would mark its third straight day of a losses of 4% or greater — this would mark the first time since the Great Depression in 1933 it has notched such large back-to-back consecutive losses, according to the Carson Group's Ryan Detrick. This would also be only the third time in history the broad market index has finished 4% or lower for three straight days, all of which were during the Great Depression. - By Hakyung Kim, Adrian van Hauwermeiren

If you're using substack and linking to it, everyone else hears it as you going "hey guys check out this cool Nazi bar I hang out in" It turns out telling people you hang out in a Nazi bar is not a very effective way of advertising yourself.

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

Nobody refers to Americans as “usians”. Some people just don’t like the demonym for Americans, and choose to forget that Mexico is also technically a United States - United Mexican States.

They’re laggy bc the company is recording your screen. None of mine are connected to the internet. They’re dumb TVs connected to Apple TV, which is only slightly better I guess.

Dull, overwhelming gray covering it all is a perfect metaphor for the bigger picture. This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity. If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions.
