Here’s one for you, and it’s so complimentary to the company that Wikipedia questions whether it might be PR. And yet, it shows clearly that, in all the ways that matter Constellis=Blackwater. In fact, it’s Blackwater plus additional hired killers.
The first part of the Triple Canopy page from Wikipedia, explaining the company’s origins. It reads: “Triple Canopy, Inc., is an American private security company and private military company (PMC) that provides armed security, mission support, and risk management services to corporate and government clients. “The firm was founded in May 2003 by United States Army Special Forces veterans, including former Delta Force operators. In June 2014, the firm merged with rival security contracting firm Academi, formerly Blackwater, to form Constellis Group, with Craig Nixon, the former CEO of Academi, becoming the CEO of Constellis Group, and training facilities being consolidated at the existing Academi training facility in North Carolina. It was staffed by, among others, a number of former Army Special Operations personnel, Green Berets, Rangers, SEALs, MARSOC Raiders, other special operations personnel, and several law enforcement officers. At the time of the merger, over 5,000 employees were working for Triple Canopy.”

Looks like that, according to the link. Thanks for prompting me to check.
Screencap of a paragraph from the linked article, reading, “A spokesperson for NEJM said the alerts would be published in a new section of its NEJM Evidence journal as needed - as opposed to being published on a weekly basis — and be made available for free. "In the coming weeks, we will be sharing more information on a new, rapid digital alert to disseminate essential data on disease outbreaks and other issues of public health importance," created in partnership with CIDRAP, she added.”

A grid with 9 pictures of Maine Senator Susan Collins, shown from her shoulders up. She is a middle-aged white woman with collar length brown hair and glasses, wearing a turquoise suit jacket over a white blouse. She is facing slightly to her left, and appears to be speaking to someone. Each picture is labeled with a different description of her expression: Concerned, Troubled, Upset, Distraught, Alarmed, Unsettled, Bothered, Worried, Disturbed. The joke is that all nine pictures are identical.

A photo of Laura Dern as Vice Admiral Holdo from the movie “Star Wars Episode VIII - The Last Jedi”. She is wearing a gray top with a tight cowl around her neck and her chin-length wavy hair is purple. She is looking to her left at someone with an expression of disgust or perhaps exasperation. The caption reads, “Fellow white lady this ain’t it”.

Including the year he took over? I know numbers are hard but here’s a pretty picture to show how wrong you are.
Chart titled “Deportations from Interior and Border Enforcement FY [fiscal year] 2003 - FY 2024“. It shows the number of removals by Biden in 2021 (the first year of his presidency) to be in total approximately 50,000, evenly split between interior and border removal. The year before the total number was approximately 175,000, split 2:1 between border and interior removals. It wasn’t until 2024 that Biden’s totals surpassed those 2020 figures, and that high was still below the totals for 3 out of the 4 years of the previous administration. It’s likely that 2020 would have been higher, as each one of the preceding 3 years was higher than the one before, if the COVID pandemic had not occurred. COVID may also have contributed to Biden’s lower numbers as well. Chart source: The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University.

Or this one? To be fair, I have occasionally enjoyed this hallucination, too.
Screencap of the Google search results for “2024 presidential election results popular vote” showing the AI Overview section. It is incorrect; the figures it cites from the Pew Research Center are of the share of the Hispanic vote each candidate received. (Link: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/06/26/behind-trumps-2024-victory-a-more-racially-and-ethnically-diverse-voter-coalition/) It reads: “According to a final analysis of the 2024 presidential election by the Pew Research Center, Donald Trump received 48% of the popular vote to Kamala Harris's 51%. “2024 popular vote results “Based on analyses of voting patterns and results: “• Kamala Harris (Democrat): 51% of the popular vote. “• Donald Trump (Republican): 48% of the popular vote. “Note: The popular vote total does not determine the winner of the U.S. presidential election; rather, the winner is determined by the Electoral College. In 2024, Trump won the Electoral College with 312 electoral votes to Harris's 226.”

Caturday contribution.

“See? I do so too fit!”
A large fluffy orange cat is sitting in a very small box. Okay, not sitting, exactly, but all 4 feet (and his very fluffy tail) are in it so he totally could be sitting if he wanted to.

And there’s this.
Screenshot of a Xitter post from Eisner on the topic. It reads: Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The "suspending indefinitely" of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one's political or financial self-interest." By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny.

It appears you and Banksy are on the same page.
Banksy artwork that appeared on a British judicial building in September 2025. The mural depicts a judge (in robes and traditional powdered wig) beating a protestor with his gavel. The protester is on his back on the ground with his hands raised. One hand holds a protest sign that has blood splashed across it. Shortly after being revealed, the mural was covered and then mostly removed. The removal efforts were not completely successful, leaving a shadowy image. (That image follows this one.) The Banksy mural after removal was first attempted. Shortly after being revealed, the mural (previous image) was covered and then mostly removed. The removal efforts were not completely successful, leaving a shadowy image which some have said is more impactful.

Hope this helps.
Two people are chatting online. They are deliberately portrayed as repulsive: the one on the left is wearing cat ears and a collar, but is overweight, sweating profusely, and appears to have stains on the front of his shirt. The one on the right is bearded and balding, also sweating, wearing a tank top that reveals his panther paw tattoo. The text reads: Left: hehe your a cutie x3 *flops beside u and nuzzles* Right: awwww!~ *nuzzles u back and pounces on u and notices your buldge' OwO whats this..?

Except he didn’t do the telling.
Excerpt from a story on the webpage of the local NBC outlet, WRAL. It reads: “On Aug. 3, the 16-year-old step granddaughter of James Edwin Yokeley Jr. flagged down nearby officers after she found pills in their ice cream purchased from a Dairy Queen on Oleander Drive. “Willett said that Yokeley bought the ice cream himself, while the two girls waited in the car. “The 16-year-old was driving Yokeley's car at the time, and when she and her friend discovered the unusual objects in their ice cream, they pulled into a nearby gas station, where they flagged down police and first responders who were already there.” source: https://www.wral.com/news/local/surry-board-elections-drug-ice-cream-wilmington-august-2025/

You mean this Texas? The one that not only isn’t broke but is in 4th place of the states that contributed more in federal tax revenues ($67 billion) than they took? California in 2nd kicked in $78B. TX doesn’t need your money.

We are infested with Nazi Republicans, though.
A listing from USA Facts of the 19 states that contributed more in federal tax revenue than they received. (All figures are in billions.) The state with the most is New York, which paid $89B more; followed by California ($78B), New Jersey ($70B), then Texas ($67B). https://usafacts.org/articles/which-states-contribute-the-most-and-least-to-federal-revenue/

I was kind of surprised to discover I don’t many have pictures of celebrities. This is the closest thing to that. It was definitely be an interesting session.

A meme. It’s a photograph of a press conference. In the foreground the occupant of the Oval Office is out of focus as he speaks. The focus is on the person to his left, Vladimir Putin, who is looking over his shoulder at the speaker. The text reads, “ONCE YOU REALIZE HE WAS INSTALLED BY RUSSIA TO DESTROY AMERICA FROM WITHIN WITHOUT FIRING A SHOT, EVERYTHING HE DOES MAKES SENSE.”

Again with the smug. It’s funny because that’s something people always said they hate about Americans.

Besides, I wouldn’t be so sure. Here’s the voting totals for our last election. Compare the percentages, isn’t Polievre polling at about 37%?
A pie chart titled US Presidential 2024 Voter Distribution. To the right there is a column titled Notes: Data from 11/14/2024. Estimated 97.1% of the total vote counted. 6 of the 7 swing states had increased voter turnout. The chart is divided into 4 sections, indicating the number and percentage of each section. Starting on the top left, going counterclockwise they are Harris: 72,876,600 (29.8%); Trump: 75,888,881 (31.0%); Third Party: 2,614,009 (1.1%); Non-voter: 93,440,400 (38.1%).

That’s how I broke the news to my spouse this morning.
I texted my spouse, “They double dog dared him, so…” and then a screenshot of the breaking news alert from the New York Times, which read, “Breaking News The Atlantic published the full exchange of texts about U.S. strikes in Yemen among top Trump administration officials.”
