The Hall of Fire

Donald Trump was banned from Twitter early in 2021. After Elon Musk purchased the social network, now renamed X, he lifted Trump's ban, but the disgraced former president hadn't post there for more than 18 months until tonight, when he xweeted a photoshopped version of his mugshot that he's now usi...

In three mirror-image posts, Trump wrote “Liberate Michigan!”, and Virginia, and Minnesota. He also made a characteristically unhinged post referencing 7 indictments, when the rest of us only know about 4. A sign that these three states next? Those “Liberate XYZ!” posts are evidently years old, so ...

The argument that you can't possibly go on trial now because there's so much evidence of your crimes that it's going to take forever to decide how to respond is definitely something.

PSA: Depending on workflow and app, some of the X-Twitter links I've copied lately have gone to the clipboard as x.com instead of twitter.com. The HoF plugin doesn't recognize x.com links*, but if you manually edit the start of the URL to twitter.com and leave the rest unchanged, it will still work ...

I guess it’s not just me:

Is keeping a grand jury after hours to finish up a thing that happens? Why wouldn’t they just adjourn until tomorrow?

I guess we'll have to see https://twitter.com/AntiToxicPeople/status/1691140054264295425 I presume at most this means these are the charges the grand jury will be asked to vote on? Edit: It looks like the tweet has been deleted, which could mean a few different things, but here's a screenshot: Georg...

I thought she was a presumtive US Senate candidate?

By way of contrast, my precinct had no hot issues on the ballot yesterday (and only one issue of any temperature), and when I fed mine into the machine at 12:45pm, it informed me I was #20 for the day.

What is it with alt-right orgs using single letters to identify their “products?” And how long before the whole Alphabet feels dirty?

Edit: Lake Superior has an opinion:

Understood, but at the same time, that's a pretty major handicap when your opponents are chaos agents who don't care about rules or norms. One of my frustrations has been that the Michigan triumvirate (Gov. Whitmer, Sec. State Benson, and Atty General Nessel) have frequently stated that "democr...

Michigan attorney general charges 'false electors' over efforts to overturn the 2020 election

My reaction is a combination of "Oh thank God they're finally getting serious" and "too little too late." Mostly the former.

Several people have drawn attention to the fact that in a weekend post, Trump complained about being indicted under the insurrection act in the documents case. In fact he was indicted under the *espionage* act, and he edited the post to say so shortly thereafter. But that little slipup most likely m...

And I must say that sometimes the things they suggest "for you" are downright insulting

It's a "good" conspiracy theory as far as such things go, because it has enough of a kernel of truth to sound halfway plausible. There's no question that our drinking water, and the environment in general, is full of man-made chemicals that mimic sex hormones and mess with our biochemistry...

Does this mean you've successfully blocked all data-harvesting, so they're just serving up generic ads? I very much doubt that, but it's possible I've limited how much of it they use for building my timeline. Yay? Also, what is a/s/l? When I tried looking it up, it seems to mean American Sign Langu...

It'll probably be very good, but honestly my knee-jerk reaction is that the absolute last thing the world needs right now is to give an insurgent imperialist the antihero treatment.

Speaking of Meta, for all the (highly credible) talk about the shady tricks they pull to hoover up as much of your personal data as they can get, based on the suggested posts it shows me, Facebook believes I'm really into classic cars, car repair, country living, and farming. All the info they have ...
