- Nightmare blunt rotation

- If ICE were doing internal enforcement a bit more aggressively than it used to, few people would even notice. The point of the Trump/Miller project is to make the cruelty as loud as possible.
- The theory is that electromagnetic waves from a nearby power station caused excessive injuries to the San Francisco 49ers the last two seasons rather than an alternative explanation, which is that injuries are really common in football.

- On this week's Hard Pass, @briankarem.bsky.social, Mark and I talked about what the arrests of journalists in Minnesota means for the future of a free press and also how the First Amendment is for everyone.
- In my life as a sportswriter, I knew I was on the right track asking questions when coaches retreated to jargon instead of explaining the situation in human language.
- Reposted by Michael MirerHonest question: Is he under the impression that "American Beauty" depicts healthy heterosexuality?
- No happy ending for Kraft after the HOF vote.
- The prospect of Musk facing a consequence has gotten my attention.
- The only thing I know about Peter Attia is that he was tight with Epstein. So I am completely puzzled at the idea that he's somehow going to bring me into CBS News.
- “.. Weiss insists she does not want to cut ties with Attia over his links to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and sees it as giving in to the mob.” @calderone.bsky.social $PSKY www.thewrap.com/creative-con...
- Todd this is your PR advisor speaking. I am advising you today to please keep saying this shit.

- I have never really thought about why states put genders or heights and weights on driver's licenses anyway. What does any of that have to do with being a legal driver?
- During my ad targeting discussion, students always ask if their phones are listening to them. My response has previously been that the companies they're not listening, but I don't know anyone who believes that. I guess I have a new answer.
- Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

- Polling says everything the public sees sours it on the administration's deportation priorities, yet the WH refuses to yield. An impeachment of Noem arguably would be an opportunity to bring even more information to the public.
- I see this has gotten even more dire.

- Reposted by Michael MirerIn the south side of Minneapolis, community members have started setting up filter blockades- which are make shift roundabouts. The intent is to slow down the erratic ICE driving behavior among other things. Full report to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social
- Thrilled to hear that Wisconsin is in Epstein files because no one had ever heard of us.
- The only goal City should have is the one from Cherki that Vicario saved. What a stupid game.
- The Senate filibuster basically means we treat our votes as cultural signaling because our political participation can't change anything. It is hard to think of anything more damaging to the structures of our political system.
- I never thought I was for open borders, but then I watched this administration try to enforce one.
- They should take this shit to LinkedIn.
- Reposted by Michael MirerPeople that believed there was an underground pedophile ring in the basement of a pizza parlor when the Epstein files drop
- Reposted by Michael MirerThe funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it
- Reposted by Michael MirerIf I have the right Nellie Bowles, the partner in question is Bari Weiss
