Jewish Angle: as of this posting, the article still includes a mistake confusing shiva (mourning period after funeral) with shmira (sitting with the body of the dead before the funeral). Fact checking as a function of major American newspapers is in fact dead.

“If Lewin didn’t even fill out the papers and was not authorized to take these actions, then he could be exposed to personal liability,” says Byrnes, who is asking the court to reinstate all the plaintiffs to their USAID jobs, with back pay.“

Listen to @congressmin.bsky.social break down how detainees at the Adelanto ICE facility are being mistreated and held in horrid conditions—and how ICE has lied about it. When we're in the majority, we will deliver accountability.

Unsolicited Dik-dik pic!

Love that 12yr old black children are written as "young adults" and a 53yr old senator is "youthful" also his imaginary sky angel has forgiven him so we should just move on.

As the article notes, he's running for the House in TN's gerrymandered 9th District against @justinjpearson.bsky.social, who was only four points behind in the polls when this story broke. Might be too late to pull it out, but wave elections can be tricky. If you're in the area, get involved!

you know how your cat kills a mouse or something and drops it in front of you, and he’s clearly very proud of it but it’s absolutely disgusting and you don’t want to touch it under any circumstances? anyway, so about unsolicited dick pics

So, years ago @tumblr.com deleted a post where I linked an article from the Guardian bc it was about Palestine. Today I discovered my blog, about my craft projects including recreating a Palestinian dress, was terminated without notice. This is BS: www.tumblr.com/staff/813992...

I understand this is rhetorical question. But. The point of sending dick picks isn’t that the recipient likes them; the point is that they probably don’t. (And it’s a test of how much bad behavior they’ll tolerate.)

I was in court the other day when a guy pleaded guilty to disseminating obscenity because he sent a dick pic to his probation officer. I can't make it make sense

Election Day is Tuesday Nov. 3rd. #webcomics

In a joint letter to Mark Zuckerberg, ranking members of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees wrote “corporate censorship of political speech raise[s] serious concerns about Meta’s dedication to ensuring free and fair elections.”

It's #AmericanBeerDay! 🍻 The original American beer is much older than the United States. Chicha was a beer-like beverage brewed from the molle tree. Sometimes mixed with hallucinogens, it played a role in Andean communal feasts and ritual practices. (£) doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

Midterms are around the corner here in the US! Here's a round-up of voter resources if you need em:

The polls are open in Israel for several more hours, and the voter turnout rate is already the highest its been since 1969. Total vote has already exceeded the last election. I say again: this is *with* several hours still left to vote. Really, really not a great sign for Netanyahu.

Astonishing! During this morning's king tide, Miami crossed the threshold for "Major" flooding without a hurricane for the first time. This was the city's highest water level in 11 years, and 3rd-highest since 1994. Yellow highlights: 8 of 14 top spots are from king tides during the past 2 years.

Republican congressional candidate Brent Taylor asks voters to forgive past sexual advances as "youthful indiscretions."

The last time a Democrat won Georgia’s gubernatorial election, the average price of gas was $1.01 and George Clooney was the star of ER. Let’s contact Georgia voters and change that. 👇

The Other Election

The Paxtons’ blind trust invested $600K in a convicted fraudster’s new company. Experts say the trust wasn’t truly blind as the Paxtons reported losses from it on their taxes. Angela Paxton also sat on an affiliate’s advisory board for several years. with @texastribune.org

I'm getting a second key cut for the car, which is stupid expensive anyway so I'm not bothering with getting a remote. My son's face when I explained that. "No remote? How do you open the car, then?" "...with the key? Putting it in the lock?" "Bro, that's how *Mr Bean* opens his car."

Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of this NY Times headline about more Anthony Weiner emails, which contained no new information, but were reported upon as if they were scandalous, and gave Trump the push he needed to get into the White House.
