CBP slow-walking and insubordinately undermining Biden vs snapping into action to reverse policy the moment Trump is inaugurated is a good demonstration of how power works in practice and an argument for why DHS needs to be abolished root and stem
The CBP One app, which allows asylum seekers to schedule an appointment at a port of entry, seems to have been shut down, per CBP website.
Migrants waiting in Mexico were worried this was going to happen: www.npr.org/2024/12/19/n...

My s/o is a teacher, and I've seen a lot of complaints about how Gen Z has no respect for their elder generations. Full disclosure: I'm an elder millennial. Gen Z and Alpha grew up in a time when the internet was already configured to take full advantage of their developing brains.

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

I'm so indescribably frustrated that every single time a reddit thread gets posted about a bomb cyclone or AR that people come out of the woodwork with the most asinine, scientifically illiterate takes imaginable.

One of the best, unspoken time savers in terms of doing self-tech support?
Websites that report if another website or app is down. Sooo many hours saved wondering if something was off on my end of things and that's why I couldn't connect to a specific server.

there are these little
tunnels in life
I'm looking at a photo of myself with an "I voted" sticker. It was taken less than 12 hours ago. Yet that photo isn't even of the same person I am now.
I gotta wake up and be a dad
how can I be eager to raise my child
