Is Splatoon (3) eventually fun? I just tried playing for the first time last night, and it seems like they make you get your ass kicked by high-level obsessives for a couple hours before you unlock even basic features. Kind of a miserable introduction.

“reality tv is inherently fascist” is my most consistently vindicated hot take of all time
thedailybeast.bsky.social The Daily Beast @thedailybeast.bsky.social · May 15
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch
nycsouthpaw.bsky.social southpaw @nycsouthpaw.bsky.social · Apr 23
A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...
Tricia McLaughlin & @TriciaOhio 0... The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully. He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family. This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo's own actions and statements. In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'. 's account was false. According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency. After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying. He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson. "You" re not from here. Do you have your papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer, "New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested. Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read. According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name. Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade. The officer also signed the document, which said Hermosillo "read" the document or had it read to him. But Hermosillo said no one read him the document. Other documents created by the officer have inaccuracies. For example, the criminal complaint says that Hermosillo was detained "at or near Nogales, Arizona." But Hermosillo was detained in Tuscon, which is more than 70 miles from Nogales. John Mennell, a spokesperson for the U.S. Border Patrol, said that it was an "unintentional" error. Hermosillo said he was detained with about 15 other men in a cell at the Florence Correctional Center. He was served only cold food. He said he contracted the flu because "they have it cold in there and everybody's getting sick." Hermosillo said he requested medicine but was not provided with any.

Democratic fundraising tezts are like "They're humiliating us! If you don't give us $5 RIGHT NOW we're going to end our lives!"

Republican fundraising texts are like "Hey it's Pete, look at these military flight paths. (hic)"

The hosts of @threedomusa.bsky.social are unfamiliar with the Jonah story, which is really interedting to me. I guess it's one of the books that is much bigger with Jews. (cuz of Ypm Kippur)

(sorta like how we don't really care about Daniel, and it's the Christians' #1 OT story)

Is it possible watching reality TV shows like The Bachelor - where viewers see something they know is fake, want to believe it and know they cannot trust those who make it to be truthful about the process - feeds overall media mistrust? My Substack screed: loom.ly/iTJHeh4
Can following 'The Bachelor' lead to mistrust of all media?
One cranky TV critic's screed suggesting how reality TV might feed mistrust of all media.

When I enter one of those HGTV house giveaways, I'm motivated in part by the prize but also in part because @janiehaddad.bsky.social has mentioned being interested in talking to a winner of one of those online sweepstakes.
