The 30-year-old fisherman, clad in a dark, hooded sweatshirt and shorts, says he recently found the bodies of 15 migrants in his nets over a three-day period.

"Once I found a baby's body. How is a baby responsible for anything? I was crying."

Home from the trip, so I did some #CreativeCoding I wanted to generate a background sort of like the ones they used to use in portrait studios with muted cloudy colors blending together, and I think I succeeded,

Struggled with the masks, but appreciate the help from @villares in helping me cut through the complexity I made

In 2010 Alito's tender fee fees were bothered when Obama criticized #SCOTUS, and reacted by muttering "not true" under his breath.

Now we know that he has been substantially less than honest since 2008.

Alito's tender fee fees are only offended by the truth.

Justice Samuel Alito Took Luxury Fishing Vacation With GOP Billionaire Who Later Had Cases Before the Court

In the years after the undisclosed trip to #Alaska, #Republican megadonor Paul Singer’s hedge fund has repeatedly had business before the Supreme Court. #Alito has never recused himself.

#NYTimes has a letter to #OceanGate in which top experts warned that the #Titan #submersible which has now disappeared on a dive to the #Titanic wasn't properly tested and warning of the potential for ‘catastrophic’ problems. The company's CEO (who is sadly among the missing), replied that "industry regulations were stifling #innovation". (Gift link)

A Case Of Too Little, Too Late

Sixty-five law professors and faculty from George Washington University Law School, Barr’s alma mater, wrote in a June 2020 letter that he had “failed to fulfill his oath of office to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States”. They wrote that Barr’s actions as attorney general “have undermined the rule of law, breached constitutional norms, and damaged the integrity and traditional independence of his office and of the…

This is by far the must ridiculous attempt to persuade workers to sacrifice their quality of life to improve the lot of wealthy commercial real estate land lords.

Next, show us what billionaires will look like in 2100, according to research.

“Quiet quitting” is so idiotic. It’s based around the idea that doing the amount of work as contractually obligated is somehow “quitting”, as if there is an unspoken obligation to go above and beyond that. For free, of course. Well there isn’t. And only working the amount of time you’re paid for is not disloyal or lazy, it’s simply holding up your end of the bargain. “Quiet quitting” should be the norm, not the exception. Everyone should do it. But stop calling it quitting.

Barr unleashes on Trump.

#Giove says in a bleating way on #BBCLaurak that [Poor Mr Johnson] "had already forfeited his job as the Prime Minister"

Does he not know a criminal can be tried for, and found to be guilty of, all sorts of crimes at the same time? (rhet)

For clarity the #PrivilegesReport's parameters were:

"Our task in this inquiry has been to decide whether or not Mr Johnson misled the House of Commons, whether or not he thereby committed a contempt of the House, and if so, what was the nature and extent of his culpability. This is what the House of Commons required us to do"

#Gove on #BBCLaurak says he will abstain on what was an obvious QED.

Gove is a charlatan.
