🚨 Baltimore: Out of an abundance of caution, we’re advising neighbors to be prepared for a potential increase in ICE activity in the coming days. Based on observed logistics shifts — vehicles and expanded operating space — alongside the recent 287(g) ban, a federal ramp-up appears likely.

One is reminded of dystopian novels where crime has been eliminated due to surveillance and control.
“I believe that the foundation we created with Search Party, first for finding dogs, will end up becoming one of the most important pieces of tech and innovation to truly unlock the impact of our mission. You can now see a future where we are able to zero out crime in neighborhoods," the email read.

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy
Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

Conversely, if you skate to the original of a banger like Madonna's Frozen you should get a special gold medal.
Look, if you are going to skate to an insipid remake of a great song, you are going to fall, I don't make the rules.

online arguments aren’t about convincing the other party. they’re about establishing a psychosexual dominance over them that will burden them every time they see your posts from that point forward.
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.
