I feel like the DHS read Doctorow’s “Little Brother” and said, “yeah, we ARE the baddies.”

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment
"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I remember gawking over the sample new @mbta.com Red Line car at Government Center in 2018. 7 years and a move out of Boston later, I FINALLY got to ride one yesterday and it was AMAZING 🤩 Definitely top ten experiences of the year.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Hey, so, just thinking:
- USAID was heavily involved in South Africa and helped black S. Africans overcome decades of violent oppression under apartheid
- Afrikaners and others violently subjugated blacks in S. Africa until 1994
- Elon Musk is S. African
Yeah, you’re right; just a coincidence.

Honest question: at what point is a judge going to say “the US government cannot be trusted to respect the rights of those in its custody” and halt ALL deportations until they are validated by a judge? Is that even a possibility? It’s not perfect, but it might be better.

Shopping for EVs in the US is infuriating. It’s a process of finding a super cool option that’s not huge and is significantly cheaper than other options and then finding out they don’t sell it here.

We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

Look, let’s be real. The only reason I’m buying the Oblivion remaster is because I’ve run out of Skyrim remasters to play.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.
