Necessity may be the mother of invention, but its father is laziness. Procrastination is what separates us from the animals.

Wow: Per Hamdi's legal team, his only charge was a visa overstay — after Trump revoked his visa.

Despite DHS tweeting that Hamdi supported terrorism, they never charged him with any criminality.

In other words: Trump revoked a journalist's visa, so agents could arrest him for overstaying his visa.
NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.

Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”

Wasn't there another big far-right outrage over dogs that had to be put down? Or something like that.
Seems like they have a well worn tactic to take these stories to rile folks up and sucker more into their nonsense.
The cull of ostriches at a BC farm has become a beacon for those on the right, mixing with animal rights activists. I spoke to @alexboyd.bsky.social at the Toronto Star about the implications.

This was also, funnily enough, Freud's apocryphal take on the Irish and why we are immune to psychoanalysis. We're just too smart I guess.
The BBC debacle recalls Scott Fitzgerald's famous quotation: "The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time+still retain the ability to function." In this case many opposing ideas may be true all at the same time. 1/

BREAKING: We won!

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.
