Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.

The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

For the record, our division commander BANNED things called “presence patrols” in Iraq.

“If you don’t have a specific task & purpose, your ‘presence’ doesn’t do anything.”

National Guard stating they are now doing presence patrols in DC.

A complete waste of soldier’s time & effort.

why do these kinds of maps not get normalized for population density??

we should stop presenting giant swaths of unpopulated land as "people with opinions"
Here's predicted Trump approval within state, modeled using our latest polls. Overall approve (left) and tariffs (right). Red is approve, blue is disapprove. Note how underwater POTUS is on trade — including in rural areas of both "red" and "blue" states www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-is-u...

Steam Client to Require macOS 12+ Starting October 15
Steam Client to Require macOS 12+ Starting October 15
Steam will stop supporting macOS 11 Big Sur on October 15, 2025, according to Valve, requiring Mac users to upgrade to macOS Monterey or later to continue accessing the gaming platform. The reason Steam will soon stop working on Big Sur is due to the client's reliance on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older macOS versions. Future Steam updates will also require security features only available in macOS 12 and above. Apple also discontinued security updates for Big Sur in 2023, and that's left legacy systems vulnerable to malware that could compromise Steam accounts and game performance. Valve is strongly recommending affected Mac users upgrade before the October deadline. The announcement comes amid Steam's transition to a native Apple silicon client following Apple's stated plan to phase out Rosetta 2. Valve released the first native beta shortly after WWDC in June, signalling its dedication to continue to support Mac gaming. Testers have generally reported dramatically faster launch times and smoother navigation through the Store and Library. Not that if you're still running Big Sur, you won't be able to launch Steam or any purchased games after the cutoff date.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it.

Why extreme weather seems worse this summer? TL;DR it is!

The extreme weather including an unprecedented number of floods is being caused by atmospheric moisture from abnormally warm waters (which is being caused by climate change).
