Every word out of Bovino’s mouth is a lie and he should be prosecuted for perjury. God I hate that asshole.
Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino arrested a protester on charges of assaulting a federal officer at a Broadview immigration facility, but video evidence later contradicted his account and showed the protester being pushed to the ground instead.
‘His word means nothing’: Protester says dismissed assault case shows Border Patrol chief is dishonest

The "America Is Back" hat is a nice touch. Accidental irony of the best sort.
So yes, this pic (and the enlargement) was taken today.

Yikes!

U of Minnesota also developed the SweeTango apples which are awesome. They’re perfect for baking. I’ve used them twice to make an apple cake and people went nuts over it.

As his approval sinks, Trump will turn to the emotion from which his power derives: fear.

Fear closes us off from each other, weakens what is our strength, deprives us of our future and only serves to secure his.

The antidote is hope. An autocrat cannot defeat a hopeful people. Hold fast to it.

Another example of how AI - a supposedly productivity-enhancing technology - is creating more work for others and overwhelming/polluting communal goods.
In light of record submission rates and a large volume of AI-generated slop, SocArXiv recently implemented a policy requiring ORCIDs linked in the OSF profile of submitting authors, and narrowing our focus to social science subjects. Today we are taking two more steps:

It will never cease to amaze me that so many tech bros read Lord of the Rings, decided the hobbits were the bad guys and Sauron and his forces were the good guys, and have built their entire personalities around being corporate ring wraiths.
My rule of thumb is if the company is named after something in Lord of the Rings, it’s almost certainly evil.
Since its founding in 2017, Anduril Industries has become one of the hottest companies in a crowded field of defense-tech startup.

Its fast-moving approach comes with its share of setbacks.

It may sound cheesey, but I really love the performances before the Chicago Thanksgiving parade. So far I've seen Chinese, Lithuanian, Indian, Polish, and Mexican folk dancers, and I havent been watching that long. It really showcases the diversity of this city. I love it.

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

It's like Jenga. As the U.S. economy rests on fewer and fewer pillars—a handful of affluent consumers, a handful of tech companies like Nvidia—it wobbles more and more. trib.al/wLQ1Kul
