2. A two-count indictment, which was filed under seal in federal court in Tennessee last month, alleges Abrego Garcia, 29, participated in a years-long conspiracy to haul undocumented migrants from Texas to the interior of the country.
These charges seem flimsy to me. Makes me think this is the govt attempting to justify themselves in how they unlawfully treated him. I'll reserve judgement, but this seems really really weak on its face.

Another wasted Canes season. Best we can hope for is 7-9 wins and a decent bowl. No playoff, no ACC title game.
This fucking sucks.

3 point lead at half for the Canes on the road…feels like we are down somehow though. Rough sledding, making things too hard on ourselves. Feels kinda like last week when we were tied at half with Stanford. Hope the 2nd half plays out similarly for us.

I'm 44yo (elder millennial LFG), and until July 2024, I never attempted the fashion choice of growing a beard. Always felt like it wasn't me, or it would look bad.
Decided to try on a whim, and I've gotten tons of compliments on it.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

I'm definitely not perfect, but I try to own it. Whether it's a crappy thing I did/said in the past, all I can do is own it and the consequences, but that I've learned from it and I'm better now than I was.
That bit of nuance gets lost in real life far too often these days.

Absolutely. This is the danger of AI. The siren call of "just type it here and get your 100% accurate answer!" that is absolute fool's gold. Pyrite. And no, I didn't have to use an LLM to know what Pyrite is either. Why? *Because I went to school and LEARNED IT FROM A TEACHER*.
If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.
We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

Stuff like this also emboldens the crazies out there that want some kind of revenge for CK. Bessent may not have that as his aim, but it's going to be a side effect if/when violence is enacted on protestors.

Welp…Fred Warner dislocated an ankle. With all the injuries the Niners have had, just making the playoffs (even with this 4-1 start) feels like it would be an absolute feat. Expectations firmly lowered.

He talks about "going back and forth on the small details" while getting the big picture grossly wrong.
It's in the right's playbook - if they get the facts wrong, it's just their "opinion" and they want to "agree to disagree", when they're just *wrong*.

Being a Niners fan, Makai Lemon is super talented, but the roster doesn't need another 1st round pick used on a WR. Trading up for Edge/OL help might be the move. Build the trenches back up.
