It was really illuminating to realize:
The whole reason Dems focus on these trivialities is that they’re fundamentally onboard with everything else that’s happening — ICE, genocide, broad and broadening censorship of ideas — and they’re hoping you’ll care about the trivialities instead.

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

I think it's important for white people to vocally denounce this shit as evil and racist but also EMBARRASSING, it is embarrassing to me as a white person!!!
White House stands by State Department nominee who complains that "white Americans are increasingly second-class citizens," warns of "white erasure" and says "the Jews love to see themselves as oppressed." @camcgrady.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

If I were Gaul, I would be absolutely tearing into my team after the end of that game.
No off-the-ball movement from the front line whatsoever, just standing still in the box and hoping the midfield finds a way to get the ball through.
Really disappointing! #SanfrecceHiroshima

Incidentally, I'd sack Vinai Venkatesham yesterday. Not only has he already made terrible decisions at Spurs and is a general purveyor of corporate pablum, but also he was chief executive for every single year at Arsenal during which Thomas Partey played for the club. Get him the fuck out of Spurs.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Frank did absolutely nothing to convince me he's a good coach.
But Spurs don't have a good roster, or a good history of supporting coaches, so it's hard to see how they attract anyone talented to fill his spot. #coys

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Will I judge you if you’re mean to LLMs? Yes, of course. I judge people who are mean to stuffed animals. It’s not because I think the stuffed animal is conscious, it’s because I think you might be unhinged.
