One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

There’s a sentiment among some locals that eyes on Minnesota are waning. The situation has NOT changed here.
Local resistance is tired, but of course never giving up. Please stay plugged into the news of the Minneapolis ICE occupation and donate where able.
We need endurance in this moment.

I'm going to talk about my new job real quick. It's going surprisingly well. New work environment is very laid back and chill, though there's also a focus on patient care. It's not perfect, but it's definitely an example of what health care should be.

The process of art is such an important part of creativity. Writers, artists, musicians, whatever you can think of benefits from the human spark, and generative ai will never catch up.
Something else I think about is how much these AI prompt jockeys are stealing the experience of writing from themselves, they don't even realize what they're losing out on, cos writing is wonderful and you can grow and learn so much about yourself, the process is a gift. They're robbing themselves.
Even beyond the quality argument, these people aren't even 'writers', they're just assholes hitting what they think is the FREE MONEY button. Which sometimes works, so they keep doing it. If they gave even one solitary shit about art or even storytelling they would know better. They just don't care.

yakuza kiwami 3 is an insult to the game rgg has purported to remake, its players, the studio's previous quality output and, bewilderingly, women. oh, and the casting of an admitted sex pest. i'm somewhere between dejection and fury.

I'm so glad to share this piece I've been working on with you all! The closet is a dark place for many of us. I had to deal with a lot of homophobia, silently suffering in it for many years. Heated Rivalry gave a way to organize my thoughts, and I'm so grateful for it.
