I have very little of my own original content to share here. I really enjoy interesting posts from others and occasionally engaging and interacting with others. My Followers is about to match my Following which is just crazy. I don’t have the energy/time to filter/block the bots unfortunately.

I have so many people like this following me. It’s so weird. I really wish there was a ‘Force Unfollow’ option here. Blocking seems overkill. I don’t want ‘empty’ bot followers, I only follow people whom I find interesting.

So @jimofthenorth.bsky.social got me two Jessica Fletcher figures and tonight I unboxed one of them with my Murder She Wrote friend. I'm not going to pretend we aren't considering ordering some outfits. #MurderSheWrote #JessicaFletcher

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

Opinion: 🧵 1/5
Current administrations everywhere are falling for the same fallacy.
Be it Starmer, Merz, Macron.. one thing they all have in common - They got voted in, then concentrated on trying to talk people of the far right into voting for them - which by design, they will never do.

Remember: the greater the emphasis placed on a lawyer being “distinguished” or “leading” the weaker the legal argument will tend to be.

A good legal argument does not need such epaulets, and a bad legal argument is not saved by them.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Wow when I saw this post, it was so wild, I had to look up the raw trade data for myself.

Sure enough, U.S. wine exports to Canada have fallen off a cliff:
Line chart showing: Monthly U.S. wine exports to Canada Canada was the largest export market for U.S. wine in 2024, according to the American Association of Wine Economists. It's been a different story so far in 2025. Exports peaked in November 2024 at $54 million And have since plummeted... ... falling to just $2.7M in April.

Here's the menswear guy's post on being undocumented.
I debated whether to share my story on here, but I guess I will. I think there's an idea out there that millions of violent criminals are pouring across the border, carrying machetes and drugs, looking to harm Americans. Certainly, while some people fall into that category, the vast majority of undocumented immigrants don't. My family escaped Vietnam after the Tet Offensive and went through an arduous journey that eventually landed them in the Canada. My father worked there for a time as a janitor; my mother, a secretary. When work fell through, my dad was offered to work with his sister in the United States, so he went, as our family needed money. He ended up staying in the US longer than he was supposed to — not knowing immigration laws — and asked my mom to come be with him. Of course, she went and carried me over the border while I was still a baby. I'm still unsure whether we technically broke an immigration law. The border between Canada and the United States was pretty porous (as it is today, for the most part). But either way, since I came here without legal documentation, I eventually fell into the category of being an undocumented immigrant. Yet, I've been in the United States since I was a baby. My identity and roots are very much based in this country, no different from anyone else. The lack of legal immigration has totally shaped my life. It has made every interaction with the law much scarier. It has shaped which opportunities I could or could not get. It has taken an emotional toll, as this legal issue hangs over your head like a black cloud. There are millions of people in my situation — people who were brought here as children, some babies, and were unable to raise their hand during this process and say "maybe we should hire a lawyer." Parents may have crossed the border not knowing about the law, as the law can be pretty confusing and lawyers are expensive. Perhaps, in the end, they should have hired a lawyer; but sometimes life is messy. In the end, they crossed for the same reason many people rise every day: to support their families. I think it's unreasonable to deport millions of people who have contributed positively to society. It's simply not true that the majority of these people are violent criminals carrying drugs. Many own small businesses; many work as skilled laborers (including garment workers!). The vast majority are good, honest people. For those of us who grew up in the United States, sending us "back" to our "home" country would mean sending someone to a foreign land, as they grew up in the United States. Tearing families apart based on immigration status seems inhumane. About twenty years ago, I watched with some small measure of hope that the Dream ACT would pass and help a portion of undocumented immigrants. I saw people march angrily in the streets (something I supported). But I was dismayed to see nothing really come about. In fact, when Obama passed DACA, I was skeptical that it would be sensible to give your information to the federal government without a guaranteed path to citizenship. It seems that the Trump administration may use those lists to hunt down immigrants. I think the ICE sweeps are inhumane. I support and admire the protestors who are putting their bodies on the line for non-violent resistance. Ultimately, I think we need to solve this issue on a systemic level. It's unreasonable to me to expect that the government will deport some 10-20 million people. Even deporting 1 million will cause an insane amount of chaos, not to mention an incredible amount of wastef… I have seen people march on this issue, only for it to be dropped later and dissolve into quiet grumbles. In the end, nothing is done for immigrants. Time passes until decades later, we have another political crisis like the one we have today. This cycle seems unsustainable. I hope people sustain this energy to solve the immigration issue and put undocumented immigrants — most who are peaceful, skilled, and hard-working citizens — on a path to citizenship. As time continues to go by, many undocumented immigrants are seeing their lives wasted away. If you care about this issue, I hope you get involved on the long haul: volunteer for pro-immigrant groups, donate to mutual aid, and perhaps pursue career paths that help people in this situation. I was moved to read someone on here say that, when they found their employee was undocumented, they helped them get a green card. The path was difficult, as our immigration system is broken (it took them 11 years). But I can tell you that this is like pulling someone drowning in raging waters. Ultimately, I hope me sharing this story helps push back against the idea that all undocumented immigrants are MS-13 members. I know many people in my position and they are all like your neighbors.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is the frontrunner to build Trump's "Golden Dome" missile shield.

SpaceX is proposing a subscription service where the government would pay to access the technology, rather than own it.

Experts think the project could cost hundreds of billions.
