Looks like Musk has his thumb on the scale for Putin. Big surprise.

Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops
Not sure you needed another reminder/reason, but don’t EVER hand over the goods to the authorities. Remember: they do NOT work for you. “Protect and serve” is a marketing campaign, not their job.
‘War Game,’ political violence, and the risk of extremism in the armed forces
Though blatantly ignoring the fact that the Flynn brothers, one of which was in high station during January 6th, already exist, a team planned a war game theorizing what turncoats inside the US military would do during an insurrection.
It could have been worse, but the reality was already pretty bad.
Banned Books Week: Effort to document and highlight support of the freedom to read
Also on NPR this morning, they realized that the book banners and burners might be a serious threat to literacy and free speech and thought in this country.
Have these folks been in a selective coma for the past decade? Three decades? More?
How neo-Nazi groups reacted to Trump’s false claims about Haitians in Springfield
Well, it is damn near October in an election year and NPR just figured out that the GOP is running a white supremacist for president (and pretty much all the way down the ballot). I mean, even the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate is a self-professed “black Nazi”.

Trump deputy campaign manager identified in Arlington National Cemetery dustup
Red letter day folks.
NPR decided to not side with child killers and Trump apologists and actually named names of the trash that assaulted an Army member at Arlington National Cemetery when Trump did his illegal photo op.
Don’t hold your breath but maybe they see the value in backing democracy? We will see.
Right-wing podcaster bought West Virginia skate park — then rebellion ensued
So white nationalist/Russia stooge Tim Pool decided he wanted to sponsor prizes for a local skate park competition. The kids there wanted nothing to do with him, said no, then banned him from the comp when he pushed it.
What does he then do? Buys the land the skate park sits on to get back at the kids.
And THAT is what conservatives do when given money by Russian spies to mess with our elections. They screw over kids with the profits.
City celebrates ‘Old Style Day’ as production returns to La Crosse after 20 years
It took a couple of decades, but they are brewing Old Style down in LaCrosse after a couple decades without. Here’s me from a couple months ago with a relevant selfie.
NYT seems to think “The Final Solution” was a bold housing policy
Something seriously wrong and dangerous has happened to the New York Times. They’ve gone from coddling seditionists to advocating for concentration camps and deportations.
