A write-up

Similarly, I saw a letter (won't post here) a racist guy sent to the manager of an apartment complex in OKC. The guy, who lived next to the complex, listed how many "Hispanics" lived in each unit & what cars they drove. Said he shared all his information with ICE. sourcenm.com/2025/07/11/r...

“A suburban New York county that recently barred residents from wearing masks is now making an exception for police officers so they can obscure their identities while helping the federal authorities detain immigrants.” — www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/n...

(That the masks provoke public resistance, he added, “should be a clue for officials who are genuinely concerned with public safety and officer safety to understand that that’s not helpful, it’s provocative.”)































Nothing to see here. Just a top cop, alleged sex predator, and long-time ally of the mayor's trying to make sure his movements couldn't be tracked. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/12/n...

("Measure J [which was accidentally repealed] requires that 10% of locally generated, unrestricted L.A. County money be spent on social services such as housing, mental health treatment and other jail diversion programs")

You know that post btw a car’s windshield and side window? It’s called an A-pillar – and it’s becoming a problem. A-pillars are expanding, enlarging driver blind zones and concealing pedestrians at crosswalks. Blame car bloat, as well as ill-conceived federal rules. Me, in Bloomberg 🧵

From here















anyway clearly the solution is, tweets should have durability that takes durability damage from engagement. When a tweet breaks, it gets deleted. But you can throw it at a friend for a critical hit as it breaks.

Okay so when people kept writing the phrase "horse girl game" it turns out I was interpreting those first two words different. And that is on me

A luxury hotel in Chongqing, China, has been ordered to halt its viral "red panda wake-up call" service, where guests were awakened by red pandas entering their rooms. The Lehe Ledu Liangjiang Holiday Hotel's unique offering drew widespread attention on social media but raised serious concerns over animal welfare and safety. #china #chinanews #redpandas
