@facetedcarapace What does that mean?

patient who manages to get their trach decannulated prior to discharge is actually a recognized type of swagger

@ka_grieco This reads like AI slop

The "Iran is losing" narrative is tracking the wrong number. Yes, missile and drone launch rates are down 90%+. But hit rate (or confirmed impacts per projectile fired) has been climbing steadily since Day 1. A 🧵 on what the data actually shows.

@iwelsh Needs a little editing. This should be without, no? remember that even with nukes Iran can Cheers

If the US loses decisively in Iran, the America Empire takes a huge hit to its ability to inspire terror and compliance. Oh sure, they can still strangle weak nearby countries, but genuine middle powers with real militaries will know they can fight the US and win." link below

@Dazzleox @noahpasaran What was the job?

@noahpasaran Biggest weirdos I ever met were normies. I worked with a guy who would sit facing a wall for our six hour watch shift without moving or reading. Clearly a white guy from Appalachia, he said he had a "full blooded Cherokee Indian grandpap." He only liked KISS and Ween.

ambitious goal. why don’t we start with 1 and see how we feel

@jamesstout @Havoc_Six How so?

@Havoc_Six I’m love that he’s using an empty carrier, worn in an incredibly suboptimal position, as a prop here.

New @ttsgpod (link in thread) -- we talk to Will Stancil about ICE in Minneapolis, following ICE and Border Patrol in his Honda Fit, and why he thinks we will win. Great episode.

@EoinHiggins_ Curb/Seinfeld episode “The package was placed in the hold of the aircraft, where it iced up, causing the detonator to fail. Realizing the failure, Schlabrendorff immediately flew to Germany and recovered the package before it was discovered.”

this is wild, didn't know there were 42 (!) attempts en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassina…

I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus. It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her. ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her. Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable. I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

kate update: I am basically bedridden and dying from long covid so you won’t see or hear from me much for a while. If you’ve got any advice on what to do about it my comments are open

@mcmansionhell Feel better. Have you had sleep study?

Cardiologist and best-selling author Eric Topol has spent years studying what it takes to become a super ager — someone who lives beyond their 80s without debilitating chronic conditions. His research suggests that almost anyone can do it. wapo.st/4pnhftY

@xenocryptsite That looks awful

I've poked around highly-rated IMDB episodes and this is pretty true. They're often either 1. A formal exercise (Musical episode! Bottle episode! Episode that takes place entirely on screens!). 2. Some kind of narrative payoff. Maybe that's what people genuinely like, IDK.

@xenocryptsite What is an all screens episode

Try to spot when "Modern Family" did an all-screens episode.

that sounds like something I am very interested in listening to

in which i tell the story of Will and I meeting on his podcast on another podcast (i know) 💕

Ms Rachel joining the @nytimes boycott. You love to see it.

@focusfronting I don’t get it
