Trump's most obvious lies (like pretending he never led chants of "lock her up) are perhaps the most disturbing.

Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.

This is just like how Republicans now will swear up and down that Trump never said that "there were good people on both sides" when the White supremacists rioted in Charlottesville.

@arstechnica
Actually, Tesla owners should sell their cars as fast as possible while they still may have some of their value.

Did you know that there is now a 1.2 MW charging station in California that is entirely off-grid and ready to start charging Electric semis?

Anyways, look at that massive charging cable to pump all those amps!

I heard @NPR call it Biden's TikTok Ban this morning.

It was fucking Mike Johnson that put that ban into must pass legislation so Biden's blameless.

Renovation relic: Man finds hominin jawbone in parents’ travertine kitchen tile

Yes, travertine often has embedded fossils. But not usually hominin ones.

@arstechnica
Most likely human given the success of the proliferation of H.s. and the (relatively) rapid formation of travertine.

Against modern Homo sapiens, which may not be entirely relevant, the morphology of the mandible is likely not northern European, but more similar to African, middle Eastern, mainland Asian.

Ginni Thomas was directly involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Yet Clarence Thomas didn't recuse himself from arguments today in a case about the January 6 insurrection.

How is this not a scandal of epic proportions?

@rbreich
Clarence Thomas has not been forced out yet because the Republicans have succeeded in creating so many scandals that the public cannot focus on one to its conclusion.
