We all need a timeline cleanse right now, so let's start the day with this lovely jug with an octopus motif, dating ca 1200-1100 BC.

On display at National Museum Copenhagen.

A lovely weekend to all of you!

One of the wildest parts of this revelation is that this is really the first I’m aware of this being discussed. The standing city council president (ostensibly the most powerful or second most powerful person in local politics) being pretextual stopped days before a discussion on pretextual stops.

LA City Council’s City President Marqueece Harris-Dawson says he has been pulled over four times while a member of the council; the most recent was this week. He missed a committee meeting because of the stop, according to him.

Among the questions: β€œhow do you have this vehicle,” according to him.

She was sentenced to life in prison. A new law set her free after 23 years. Nicole Boynton was the first woman freed as part of Georgia’s Survivor Justice Act, putting a national spotlight on how courts discount abuse in homicide cases β€” especially for Black women.

Prison Officials Said This Alleged Sexual Abuser Didn’t Exist The state rescinded its request to dismiss a sexual abuse lawsuit after a judge became aware of New York Focus’s findings.

A powerful example of why we need the media. The state said a woman's story of rape in prison wasn't true as no employee with that name worked there. @nysfocus.bsky.social found out otherwise. nysfocus.com/2026/02/20/a...

A big radicalizing factor to me was talking to people who work in harm reduction and their patients. Most of the people who were struggling with drug use had not been hugged in years. Someone received a bathrobe and cried because they had not felt something soft in so long. I can't forget.

This is SO CLOSE. If 11 people give $100 each, it's DONE. And it needs to be done, because his surgery is in < 4 days, and out of state, with 4-6 weeks inpatient recovery there.

PLEASE, can we get this family covered today?
