Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

If you are patient, polite, and treat service workers with respect, you can usually get all kinds of (reasonable) accommodations. Even if you are an uggo like me.

I'd point you to a few large industrial supply retailers for more options, but I know that several of them are owned by right wing creeps, and you probably know them anyway.

I've seen these in the wild, usually at businesses at a back door or roll up warehouse door. I did a web search for "delivery door bell", and this was the first result: mrchime.com/shop/special... So, it is a thing that's available. A few minutes of web research should yield you more options.

Not fair! I used to work in the industry, and I can assure you that most breweries sell their beer to teams/stadiums at a slight loss. It's the stadium owners who charge such a ridiculous mark up. Also, Milwaukee winning the WS is the best thing that could happen for players to avoid a shut down.

Yes! They have snacks! You can get a tiny helmet filled with "nachos" that cost as much as 4 gals of Premium gas (indexed to inflation). Some parks you can get a "Dodger Dog", which is like a hot dog but longer, sadder, more expensive, and less tasty. Beer is even available if you have enough $$.

The Chicago Cubs won a permanent injunction shutting down Wrigley View Rooftop’s ticket sales. Now the case is headed to the 7th Circuit. The appeal could test how far a sports team’s property rights extend beyond its ballpark, and whether a neighbor can profit from what it can lawfully see.

Also, is there an H-Mart near you? Korean chip technology is a marvel. I'm especially fond of the creative Ruffles flavors, and the licensed Doritos and Cheetos made by Lotte. Some are amazing, some are uncanny-valley-like ("I remember eating Doritos once, in USA"), and others are just educational.

You just need more pillows. Prop yourself up so you're in a reclined chair position, with your head well above your stomach, facing up. It's hard to sleep like that, but harder to vomit acid all over your pillow. *Yes, I have a water bottle with alka-seltzer on my bedside table every night. 😀

I haven't updated the firmware on the TV, so if they've added ads to it, I'm blissfully unaware. Only issue I found was coming up with a remote. I use a compact keyboard and Magic Trackpad velcroed to an aluminum base, after fussing with a lot of one-handed devices that didn't really work for me.

Things got more insane just about as soon as I posted this last night. DHS is now arguing that we cannot even put the names of ICE officers in our lawsuit against those officers. Their position is that, if a defendant works for DHS, they cannot be named in a lawsuit. Never seen anything like it.
All this time, while Defendants have refused to identify Does 4 and 5 or respond to Leo’s discovery requests, the six-month statute of limitations on his FTCA claims has nearly expired. So, on October 6, Leo sought Defendants’ consent to file an amended complaint that (1) adds his FTCA claims against the United States and (2) adds the names of Does 1, 2, and 3. These minimal changes are shown in a redline attached to this filing.
Defendants, however, refused to consent to Leo’s amendments because there is not a protective order in place. One of Defendants’ positions with respect to the protective order is that the “full legal names” of all government employees “should be confidential.” (ECF 109, at 2). That position, apparently, means that Defendants even oppose Leo identifying specific officers in his lawsuit against those very officers based on their misconduct in carrying out their public duties. Because Defendants will not consent to Leo’s amendments, Leo has filed this motion for leave.Justice also requires granting Leo leave to name the Doe officers as defendants. Despite DHS’s remarkable position that all government employees’ names are confidential, parties routinely sue government employees by name. In fact, Rule 10(a) “requires a complaint to ‘include the names of all the parties.’” Doe v. Frank, 951 F.2d 320, 322 (11th Cir. 1992) (per curiam) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a)). “Lawsuits are public events.” Id. Rule 10(a) “protects the public’s legitimate interest in knowing all of the facts involved, including the identity of the parties.” Id. Only in an “exceptional case” can a party’s name be withheld from the public. Id. And that bar is even higher for public employees since their employment “diminishes their privacy interests” given “the corresponding public interest in knowing how public employees are performing their jobs.” Stern v. FBI, 737 F.2d 84, 92 (D.C. Cir. 1984);

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."
