It cannot be overstated how insane and dangerous this argument is. They're saying that the government can illegally abduct and imprison people—and even admit that it screwed up!—and then remove the ability of any court to intervene by shipping the victim to a foreign gulag.

Important to find joy in hard times, so don't feel bad about reveling in schadenfreude for the people who were willing to overlook everything else as long as they got richer.

They’re realizing the tariffs might not be as good as they thought?

I think this is beyond the tariffs at this point. Global markets have lost confidence in the United States government.

A funny thing is that "how would they treat a Democratic President in the same situation" thing is totally hypothetical because all the huge market crashes in my lifetime happened under Republicans.

email jobs are a triumph of human civilization and your ancestors schemed, bribed and murdered to get the pre-modern equivalent whenever they could.

Crazy to say but this may actually be the best possible timeline for the country's long term future. An economic crash is the likely the only thing that can really turn the powers that be against this admin in a meaningful way. Anyone with power will be forced to push back soon.

Frustrating ending but doesn’t take away what this squad accomplished. Up there as one of my favorite Spartan hoops teams. Will always cherish this season

If you have Peacock but aren't watching this game on it, you really should. This is a broadcast that begs for that increased quality and HDR.
these are all just screencaps of the Rams-Eagles game, with snow everywhere.

This should be a transformational moment where Los Angeles tries to move people away from the WUI to high density apartments along its (underrated) transit corridors. Instead they're going to rebuild low density in areas that'll be uninsurable.

We’ve understood for some time that being active and healthy in the modern world requires concentrated effort. It’s time we do the same for anything requiring mental focus. It's hard to not be distracted!

in Chicago pedestrian/cyclists make up 2.2% of crash victims 18% of crash injuries 32% of crash deaths reducing speed by 5mph “adds” 1.5 minutes over 4 miles to travel time but doubles survivability in case of crash the Drive to 25 mph is good policy

Any movie over 3 hours long is a holiday season movie. Andrei Rublev, Seven Samurai, The Godfather, Jeanne Dielman, Fellowship of the Ring. Maybe go watch The Brutalist. Whatever. Sit down and enrich your life. You've probably got nothing going on today anyway.

How have Christmas Day temps trended since 1950? Quite surprisingly, only a modest +0.3F increase for the Lower 48 on average. This means that Christmas Day is a significant cool outlier since the average December warming is +2.7F for the Lower 48 during this same period. A small Christmas miracle.
