Someone parked in my spot last night. This morning it was raining. When I bought potato chips from the vending machine, the bag got stuck. I'm down a buck fifteen. Evidence of a universal conspiracy against me? I'm getting the uneasy vibe I feel when I put my underwear on backwards.

Will this movie tariff apply to adult films? If so, will it home-shore the entire industry? Will the performers all have to be American born? What will this do to Rocco Siffredi's career? Is this a favor Ron Jeremy? bit.ly/4jRikYT

Are you saying ICE would have deported, Queequeg, Dagoo, Fedalla, and half the crew of the "Pequod"? And detained Tashgtego, even though he is a Wampanoag from Gay Head (double whammy--he's copper colored and from a place with MAGA-disapproved name)? commonwealthbeacon.org/immigration/...
‘It’s not going to be pretty’
Immigrant advocates have good reason to think New Bedford may figure prominently on a list of places that will be targeted under an aggressive deportation campaign by the new Trump administration.

As a contributor, I side with EB.
Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
