Trump dispatched liars and sadists to disparage and ruin the careers of dedicated public servants. That is a core of his legacy, and of the GOP, which for decades denigrated federal civil servants, laying the groundwork for hate, and then stood by as all of these outrages unfolded before our eyes.

There were a couple of times in middle school as an outsider I tried joining in w cool kids taunting another outsider and it was awkward and backfired and more importantly, made me feel terrible. Vance reminds me of that, except for the feeling bad about it part.

From @theathletic.com: It’s time to treat college football players like paid adults, including Arch Manning, our columnist writes. There is an infantilization of Manning that feels increasingly outdated in the current age.

If college football is going to be a professional enterprise, then players no longer need to be protected from being treated like pros.

I’ll never forgive Google for buying Nest and ruining it. Both by adding it to their shitty Google Home platform and then by discontinuing the product. I’ve been looking for some sort of replacement ever since ours crapped out. But Apple Home seems to be all AI Siri bullshit.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.
My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid. 

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

What a lede ☠️ www.washingtonsun.com/sports/washi...
As soon as the clock hit zero, Dan Quinn ripped the headset off his backwards-ballcapped head and spiked it to the turf, in much the same way a well-prepared quarterback of a well-coached team might be expected to do with the football, when his team is out of timeouts and well within range of a game-winning field goal in the final, ticking seconds of a critical NFL game.

Large Cherry Turned Lidded Bowl with Moon and Star Glyph branded on the lid, holds many dice or go pieces or tokens or jewelry or potpouri etc. Long slender walnut box with beautiful figured walnut lid, side and lid branded with little watchful eye glyphsSmaller turned lidded bowl with lamenting eye glyph, interior can hold many dice or candy or other small trinkets. Wood split is b/c I used locally sourced sweet cherry air dried in my garage. The Split was repaired using jewelers epoxy with tinted mica. Wavey turned tumbler form of cherry vessel. I really like this piece and hope it finds the right home.

Also it’s time for the news to stop treating this administration’s racist war against Somalis as “Trump being Trump.” They targeted Minneapolis because they hate an ethnic group here, and now they’re targeting the most prominent political figure in that group with thinly rationalized state violence.

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

This story makes it sound like the major problem is that the Trump Admin did this w/in 60 days of an election. Yes, that's a real abuse. But the major problem is they're basically threatening to denaturalize an opposition legislator, based on racist insinuations. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...
