My favorite part of the Epstein files is when someone writes him something remotely intelligible and he just responds with something like "penifs"

There is a non-zero chance people once battled Jeffrey Epstein in Chromehounds.
Microsoft banned Jeffrey Epstein from Xbox Live in 2013 for “harassment, threats, and/or abuse of other players” that was “severe, repeated, and/or excessive.”

"You can still steal kids, but you need to wait until they're off school grounds. I mean, we're not barbarians." -Dems
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

Lying badly is part of the point. It does not matter. There is no consequence, and they know it, so they say whatever they want. It's funny to them.
this guy is a terrible liar who genuinely believes he is great at lying
CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

Getting nostalgic tonight. In a different life, when I was a graphic design/illustration major, I designed an album cover for a favorite producer.

Zoinks! It's a g-g-g-ghost president!
So what I’m getting from this is no independent reporter can currently confirm if the President is alive. Is that correct?

Somehow he electrocuted himself by shitting out six Filet-O-Fishes. Experts are baffled.

The amount of ICE goons who don't wash their ass must be astronomical.

I have worked on live games for 15 out of my 20+ years as a game designer. You can still play my Treyarch games and Fortnite (obv) but nothing else. Ironically, the Flash/Shockwave games I made at my first job are actually accessible still thanks to archiving efforts.
People spent YEARS of their lives on this. Pouring their soul and passion into this game and now it just gets deleted - erased - without any recourse for the developers to own their work and see it survive.

Just to be clear, Los Angeles did not kick ICE out. They are crawling all over the place. The National Guard was eventually recalled because there was fuck all for them to do.

The coolest part about having an 80+ year old father who lives on the opposite side of the country? When you're not sure if the reason you haven't heard from him recently is because he's dead or mad at you or both.

All days are bad back days, but some are very bad. I can barely leave the bed. At least I have a sleepy kitty on me, so that has to count for something.
