Hmm…sounds like bad apples are just the apples.
Two Indiana officers were suspended after a stunning courtroom revelation that police thought a potential town council candidate was anti-police and arrested him, stopping him from running for office. wapo.st/3zKhMy3

I recognize it’s the important right of any American to take the Fifth, but it’s worth noting how Hillary Clinton say through 11 hours of public Benghazi testimony and sat with the FBI for 3.5 hours amid her emails—and when Trump faces questions, he takes the Fifth.

the flip flop from "mishandling classified data is treason" to "mishandling classified data is no big" should make the press reexamine its role in amplifying obvious bad faith attacks, but that will not happen and theyll do it again very soon

One thing that plagues political journalism is omission bias. There is an assumption that inaction by the DOJ would be apolitical.
But a decision to ignore evidence of criminal behavior because Trump is a powerful figure would be an intensely political.

Magnetars may manifest magnificent mayhem merely minding their own magnetic missions in the Milky Way.
The tiny pink dot in the center of this image is a magnetar — a type of neutron star with the most powerful magnetic fields in the Universe. If a magnetar was located a sixth of the way to the Moon (~64,000 km), it would wipe the data from all of the credit cards on Earth! (1/2)

Rainwater is not safe to drink ... anywhere.
Think about that.
Rainwater almost everywhere on Earth has unsafe levels of ‘forever chemicals’, according to new research.
How has this happened and what’s the fallout? 🧵

Until trans actors are fairly considered for cis roles, it’s *imperative* that trans actors have the opportunity to play trans roles.

Get back to me when other Presidents have stolen national records from the White House and have orchestrated a coup to overthrow their own government.
People have Trump-derangement syndrome so much that they turn a blind eye to other presidents that do the same thing he did only more quietly.

Just a reminder that the Oscar winning feature film PARASITE was edited with a 10 year old copy of Final Cut Pro 7.
It’s never been about the tools.
