If I were a Democrat on the Committee, I would just ask Hur to read this part of his report over and over.

If you're in the US and you've also been idly wondering why "I don't like to drive at night" has become such a common thing to say in the past few years, stand near to a modern LED streetlamp and block it with your hand. In about two thirds of a second, the whole road brightens up as your pupils open.

You're not just getting old; between over-bright streetlights, over-bright headlights of oncoming cars, over-bright instrument clusters, over-bright porch lighting, nobody can see in the dark anymore.

Just in the last decade we've made it much harder and more dangerous to drive at night. Oh, and we also gave up the stars.

A white south #Alabama woman is going to federal prison after she hung racially offensive homemade dolls on her Black neighbors’ fence in an attempt to get them to move, prosecutors announced today.

Cheryl Pytleski, 64, admitted in a plea agreement to using the threat of force to intimidate her neighbors because of their race and because they were occupying a dwelling next to her.

Her 12-month sentence is the maximum allowed under the relevant federal statute.

Affirmative action is evil except when it got Clarance Thomas into Yale.

Immigration is evil except when it got Vivek Ramaswamy $50K for kids of immigrants.

Diversity is evil except when it got Nicky Haley’s father an HBCU job.

Conservatives personify “I got mine, screw you.”

Reminder: Elon Musk intentionally shut down Starlink operations near Crimea last year to undermine Ukrainian naval drones

His decision came from calls with Putin

Why are my tax dollars making this man a billionaire?

Why is he allowed to openly collude with war criminals without the gov’t nationalizing starlink / SpaceX?

Why is he still receiving DoD contracts?

And why are wine mommies with 🇺🇦 🏳️‍⚧️ #Resist in their bio on Twitter?

315 days. That is how long it took for Elon Musk to take over Twitter, fail miserably, and blame his failure on the Jews.

ADL is an NGO working against antisemitism, but because they point out how Elon Musk has let antisemitism back onto Twitter, Elon Musk will now suit them for USD 4,000,000,000 — because clearly, him not being able to run a social media company responsibly is totally the Jews' fault.

This man is the biggest fool of our time.

for good or for ill, the actual innovations in consumer-facing #banking and #finance are not happening in the US, even as it holds the cultural centre position so once a scam can get launched there eg crypto everyone will have to think about it (eg central banks having to produce position papers etc). only in this year americans will actually begin to understand, en masse, what other ppl mean when we said "electronic bank transfers", and no we don't mean the janky thing most places moved away from in the last 2 decades where you actually have to wait 2 or more business days for a transaction to clear.

why i'm bringing this up? if you have at all any interest in politics ESPECIALLY left-wing politics while we're still in a fiat currency system, you better pay attention. if you still think things like agent banking, mobile money, instant transfers, savings groups (or formalized tontines/kutu), funeral insurance covers, are odd or 'new', you better start reading up. #GlobalSouth

My wife @sabcatsilver, a psychology student, created a card game that helps therapists (and people) talk about grief, end of life care, and perspectives on life.

I am soooooo proud of her!! Currently it’s a prototype for class, but she may publish it in the future. Thanks to folks who helped on Mastodon! We got it printed on GameCrafter
