This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

'The MyPillow CEO said he isn’t sure how many copies of his book he’s given away so far, but estimated around 20,000 or 25,000. It’s unclear if the campaign paid the full price — $19.97 — or was able to use the promo code for a $10 discount.'

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.

So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

“When AI controls become available, the Block AI Enhancements toggle will be off by default”

C'mon guys, that should be the other way around, disable the AI features by default.

Agent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns.
...
Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us.

Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols?

A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us.

R: Pulling out literal guns?

A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

back in the day, companies could get by with legacy programs and one dedicated IT specialist that knew the program in and out.

But if it's on the cloud, it can just... disappear! That's it! Your entire company's infrastructure gone in an instant!

This and the forced win11 update is disastrous.

I hope the rest of the world understands, someone working the door like this is damn near a default in the Twin Cities by now.

Think about that.

there’s been several young kids kidnapped from this school by ICE & in addition to the bomb threat getting called in, there were ICE vehicles staged in the parking lot of the school at 6:15am
"Classes have been called off in the Columbia Heights school district today due to what officials are calling a bomb threat. The closure comes as 5-year-old preschool student Liam Conejo Ramos & his father from Columbia Heights were released from an ICE detention center in Texas and returned to MN."
