The Border Patrol El Centro Sector employs five dedicated agents to make what are essentially ICE “fancams” for social media. But they’re not editing in CapCut like most people on TikTok 😳

Earlier this year, I lost my beloved job at my beloved Observer when the Guardian, in its great wisdom, gave the newspaper away to a podcast company...who promptly sacked me.

So, forgive my delight today, in being nominated for FIVE awards in the British Podcast Awards!!

The Asphalt Path

A couple, through no fault of their own, are thrown off Birmingham’s No 11 Outer Circle bus and resolve to complete the circuit by foot.

In doing so they have the spiritual awakening of spending half the journey walking towards Solihull, and the other half walking away.

Trump's latest shitshow is to detract from inflation and his ruinous tariffs. As Hitler and Stalin knew, in times of trouble, find a bogeyman.

First they deport you. Then they tariff you. Then they ask you to thank them. We will show them what real ICE agents are….

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

In the US, Trump re-names Denali (its Koyukon name) as Mount McKinley & asset-strips public lands.

Meanwhile in Aotearoa/NZ...Mount Egmont is re-given its Maori name of Taranaki Maunga, the mountain becomes a legal person with recognised rights & the Crown apologises.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:

Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.

We left X 150 days ago, and we joined Bluesky 75 days ago.

In that very short time we have surpassed the 7k followers it took us 14 years to assemble on X; more than that though we've really enjoyed being part of the dialogue here.

Bluesky is not an X replacement; it's better than that. <1/6>

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
