I have a Big Ask from our community. Many of you will remember our graduates Pikachu and Eevee, who were adopted together. Eevee had dealt with some very challenging chronic diarrhea while she was a kitten, but before adoption, we figured out a food that worked for her & she was all better (thread)

Eevee, a soft dilute torbie cat, hunched over looking uncomfortable and thin.

Three years ago, the Free Beacon ironically named me man of the year on their website. "Don’t give up Ben, you have a whole lot of nothing to look forward to," they wrote. This year, I was on a TIME100 list. I would take this moment to tell them how they can suck me: from the back. Thank you.

We don’t know about Ben’s family or personal finances, but we certainly can’t disagree about his lack of skills. But for someone with absolutely no ability, Ben has found the perfect gig.

Don’t give up Ben, you have a whole lot of nothing to look forward to. Only now, when you do nothing, you'll do it as a Free Beacon Man of the Year.

Trump is pushing a massive data-center boom. But there’s another part of the story: his own family has money tied to the industry. Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. launched a data-center company that became part of American Bitcoin.

As we have said for years—the Trump administration is only pretending to fight antisemitism in order to make themselves the arbiters of what counts as antisemitic. Their real goal is to crush anti-Zionism and subordinate all Jewish people to the Christian Nationalist agenda.

Linehan quotes a post by Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) that reads: "Damn. According to a witness of the shooting homicide of the trans New York Times executive in Dublin, Calif., the elderly Chinese grandparents calmly walked away after the exec was dropped to the ground".
Below the text are two police mugshot photos side by side: on the left is an elderly Asian woman with short, wavy gray hair wearing a white shirt, and on the right is an elderly Asian man with short dark hair, slight facial stubble, and a white shirt.

Worth noting that "administrative detention", especially that of children, is almost always a crime under intl law and doubly so if one does not even have the legal right to apply jurisdiction onto the territory you are seizing that individual from, which Israel does not re: Palestine or Syria.

The protests in India include the banner "Hum Auratein Azaad Hain" (translated as "We Women Are Free"). #HumAurateinAzaadHain #DUProtest #WomensSafety

• The Main Sign: Held aloft in the upper center by raised arms, a large white cardboard placard features handwritten text in black and red marker that reads: "Imagine if WOMEN felt as SAFE as MEN feel OFFENDED".
• Surrounding Protesters:
• In the center foreground, a person with dark hair, glasses, and a blue medical face mask looks forward.
• To the left, a person holds up a dark blue poster featuring a black-and-white portrait of a bearded public official with text at the top reading: "WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER IS SILENT".
• To the right, another individual wearing a face mask holds a sign with handwritten Romanized Hindi script reading: "ACCHA UNCLE AAPKI SOCH ... MERE KAPDE HAI".

The image shows students and members of the Students' Federation of India (SFI) protesting for women's safety in New Delhi, India.

BREAKING: SCOTUS’s Republican appointees will allow Tennessee to kill Christa Pike tonight, vacating a stay of execution entered by the Sixth Circuit this morning. The three Democratic appointees dissent.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 26A428
KENNETH NELSEN, WARDEN v. CHRISTA GAIL PIKE
ON APPLICATION TO VACATE STAY
[September 30, 2026]
The application to vacate stay of execution of sentence of death presented to JUSTICE KAVANAUGH and by him referred to the Court is granted. The September 30, 2026 order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Cir-cuit, case No. 26-5864, granting a stay of execution is vacated.
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and
JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting.
The State of Tennessee is set to execute Christa Pike for the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer. Earlier today, the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued a stay of Pike's execution solely to "adequately address and resolve" the issues presented in Pike's pending application for relief. Order in In re Pike, No. 26-5864, ECF Doc. 10-2, p. 2. Tennessee now asks this Court to vacate that stay and permit it to proceed with Pike's execution today. Stunningly, the Court acquiesces. Because its decision clears the way for the State to execute Pike before her still-pending legal challenges to her conviction can be properly considered, I respectfully dissent.
