Been thinking of getting one of those driving simulator games as a way to unwind. But damn -- a steering wheel, pedals, and shifter costs like $200? I might have to just put it on my birthday list and wait until next year.

ICE officials said he ran into a wall, which doctors immediately rejected as inconsistent with the wounds. The immigrant's account - that he was beaten in the head by steel batons, contrary to DHS guidelines - is more plausible. But no accountability exists for him, or us.

When a political party answers a charge of racism with a body‑shaming insult, they’re not rebutting the claim — they’re advertising their values. This is what it looks like when cruelty becomes the brand.

“A staffer” 🤔So will they name and fire this mystery staffer? Or do they think we are all morons?
Imagine buying this excuse. Especially after they already defended it.

⚠️ New research with HUGE data set (2.7 million): Autism rates are “more or less equal for men and women.”
Autistic females present differently than autistic males in childhood. As a result, females are often diagnosed later, so recorded rates are higher for male children but even out by adulthood.
