Passionate about nearly everything. Supporting everything except hateful sociopaths.

☁️ Yesterday evening, a giant hole suddenly opened in the clouds over Mount Hood, Oregon. Known as a Fallstreak Hole, this rare phenomenon forms when supercooled cloud droplets freeze into ice crystals, leaving behind a dramatic circular opening in the sky.

I lulled myself to sleep with a black screen sleep video on YouTube. When I woke up, the TV was tuned to PBS with a dog sitting there watching it attentively. To have done that, she had to turn off the YouTube app, turned on Dish Network and changed the channel by rolling over the remote.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Fed. judge holds DHS in civil contempt of court for refusing "intentionally and not in good faith" to provide plaintiffs with phone images they intend to use to prove DHS was racially profiling people arrested in Los Angeles without reasonable suspicion. Order from July 28, unsealed today.

B. Defendants’ Noncompliance Is Intentional And Not In Good Faith. Having found that Defendants are in violation of the January 16 Forensic Imaging Order, the burden now shifts to Defendants to show that they were unable to comply. Affordable Media, 179 F.3d at 1239 (9th Cir. 1999). They fail to make that showing. Upon review of the parties’ submissions and counsel’s representations at the hearing, it does not appear that Defendants’ noncompliance is due to an inability to comply. Instead, the clear and convincing evidence shows that Defendants have acted intentionally and not in good faith.

WE NEED 4 SEATS TO FLIP THE SENATE. JOSH TUREK SHOULD BE ONE OF THEM. I was researching Josh and came across one of his signature issues: Right to Repair. I had no idea how important this was. Most people in big cities probably don’t either. 🧵
