And the sheriff lost.

An immigration advocate who registered to vote in Pennsylvania for the first time this fall says she is “full of hope and happiness” because Sheriff Fred Harran, who has closely partnered with ICE, was defeated, thanks in part to her vote.
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

I think people are unwilling to give the NYT and its staff the benefit of the doube because they [checks clipboard] have been able to observe and think about the NYT's behavior as an institution on virtually all issues for the last 20 years. Hope this helps
I was at NYT for 7 years & one of a dozen reporters who investigated Epstein’s interactions w/the rich & powerful. I don’t know every conversation held at every level there, but I do know we dedicated ourselves to exposing those who supported Epstein & engaged in the abuse of girls he facilitated

No single thesis has ever been so vindicated as 'they like Trump and want him to win'
About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

So I don’t think the Gabecube takes over every single preorder that would have been a next-gen Xbox, but imo it doesn’t really need to. If anything is the Xbox killer it’s Microsoft and what they’ve burdened it with.

Amid the carnival atmosphere around the Epstein files, it’s worth noting that “me too” and the problem of sex abuse and harassment is still very much real, not a passing fad of “woke” politics. The effort to make Progressives throw women’s rights under bus is both immoral and unwise.

HBO Max added 30 classic crime films in Nov — from proto-noirs like THE PUBLIC ENEMY (1931) to essentials like OUT OF THE PAST (1947).
Including their Criterion titles, they now have nearly 100 pre-1960 noirs.
There’s even a dedicated #Noirvember section. (New adds in alt text.) #FilmSky #FilmNoir

TIL that Japan has a population of large, aggressive brown bears. Somehow I assumed that--being an island nation--they didn't have any large land predators, and/or any large land predators that might have been stranded there post-Ice Age were wiped out (like the bears+wolves of Britain).
