It's FLYTRAP TUESDAY and we can't wait for y'all to read this brilliant piece by adrie rose on the "loose woman," who "captivates because she straddles the lines of respectable femininity." rose asks: "Is it possible her sexuality is worth taking seriously on its own?"

When a woman has too much desirability, too much beauty, too much pleasure in being seen—she is too much woman.

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

Why top Texas election denier Ken Paxton could cause chaos if he loses his Senate race
Ken Paxton has election interference tools and he’s proven his willingness to use them. But legal experts are confident that courts are up to the task of protecting the will of the voters.

RIP Bruno Kramm, remarkable frontman of Das Ich. Not only was he behind the best music of the circa-1990 Neue Deutsche Todeskunst moment, but he put his money where his mouth was, running for office as official Pirate Party Germany candidate. Nobody quite like him.

City attorneys explained Diaz and Executive Chief Thomas Hardin’s absence from the Tuesday hearing as driven by a recent lawsuit a Honduran citizen filed against the city. That suit was filed three weeks ago, however, and Diaz and Hardin were listed on the committee agenda as recently as Monday afternoon.

City attorneys instructed the lone HPD representative NOT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
The lone HPD speaker at the Tuesday hearing was Jim Mallard, a division manager in the office of data governance. Under a barrage of questions from council, city attorneys instructed Mallard not to answer, saying he was prevented from doing so by attorney-client privilege, or Mallard declined to answer, saying he couldn’t speak to most policy questions. Mallard did answer basic questions about data listed in the one-page report.

After taking questions from council members, Mallard quickly left the room. An HPD spokesperson declined to let him answer reporters’ questions and referred inquiries to the city attorney’s office.

Fun fact: So convinced were white officials in 1963 that the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on the national mall would bring lawless and violent hordes of Black people that they imposed an emergency ban on alcohol sales in all of DC and neighboring Montgomery and PG counties.

It's worth noting, it didn't end up in the final story because of flow stuff, but when I reached out to ICE, it took them extra long to get the arrest details on Omar's father to me because they entered them all wrong (they said he was arrested in Conroe, it was in Pasadena)
