“Are you an illegal immigrant?” the man said an officer asked. He replied that he didn’t have to answer and asked why he was singled out.

Do I need to point out that Charlotte's Web is about a pig who is very afraid, all the time?

News readers to journalists: You should reevaluate your standard in light of the massive failures of your profession. Journalists to readers: Shut up you ignorant little twits!

In the very best case scenario this is a clownish level of ball dropping. NYT had emails on their servers from the most notorious pedophile sex trafficker of the 21st century offering them pictures of the president of the United States with children in their underwear… and they MISSED IT?

Reinstalling this app was a mistake.

It should also be a reminder that the victims of powerful people often don't get their stories told, their quotes shared, and their lives remembered. And that it should be the job of journalists to find and tell THOSE stories. Doing so is the very opposite of elitist.

To struck by a pickle is hardly more than a tickle, so the verdict is acquital.

Bsky being weird a lot at the moment.

Anyone else remember when we were going to reinvade Afghanistan? Or something. Whatever happened with that? Trump no want big airbase now?
