Confirmed: ICE Is Arresting American Citizens—and Lying About It
A government that flouts the Fourth Amendment and then lies about it to courts and the people has crossed a moral and legal frontier.

Watching 1974's "Dark Star".
Love the 'pre-Star Wars' Hyperspace sequence.
And Sergeant Pinback's reaction to being reminded (by the computer) to feed 'The Alien' is pretty much as whiney as when Luke is upset because "... I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters!"

The first (1955) Danish edition of Ray Bradbury’s FAHRENHEIT 451. Later editions did not convert the title, so this is the only SI-compatible edition! 🎢

Scoop: The Trump admin's videos boasting triumphs on immigration have used misleading footage from months ago or thousands of miles away
When we showed them the errors, DHS said they make a lot of videos and the White House said it'll keep making "banger memes"

The White House Is Already the 2nd-Most Blocked Account on BlueSky — After JD Vance
President Trump's White House is already the second most-blocked account on Bluesky, just days after joining the platform. The only account ahead of it? It belongs to Vice President JD Vance.
