I have been waiting for a sufficient follow-up to one of my favorite memes of all time from 2016 and we might be close
Tweet from November 2016 that reads: “These subject lines from Trump emails sound like an absolute fire Dashboard Confessional tracklist.” Subject lines include “Crooked,” “Last Chance,” “Losing Sleep,” “Can’t Trust Her,” “Final Stretch - I’m Counting On You,” and “Memo from Kellyanne”

ICE official confirms agents in PR can use incredibly broad judgment to detain anyone suspected of being illegal, including "you were standing next to an illegal." And that U.S. citizens can be detained for evaluation if you aren't carrying explicit proof of citizenship. Horrifying, unacceptable
NPR: What about a citizen? González-Ramos: I've never detained a citizen here. If it's a citizen, it's a citizen. NPR: What is the agent using to decide whether enough suspicion exists to detain someone? González-Ramos: The agent can justify his acts by different means. Reasonable suspicion. They had identified an individual that didn't have status right next to them. But those persons are not being detained. A person is being asked questions about their nationality. When you're detained is when I put the cuffs on and I put you in the van and I transport you to the facility to process you. And if you tell me you do have status, those are the first individuals that we're going to make sure that we check in the system so we can release them. We don't want to detain anyone that has a legal status in the U.S. NPR: But you're acknowledging that you are doing that, because if they've made it to the facility, you're checking them out there, not in the street. González-Ramos: Yeah. I have to transport you because you don't have your documents with you. There's no other way for me to determine that unless I check the system and I run your fingerprints.

I don't know how to explain this to people who don't care about fed govt hiring, but this is really, really bad. Will destroy federal employment for the rest of our lives, and I have no confidence in the next Democrat admin undoing this.
Excerpt from the linked article which reads, "In addition to asking for a show of loyalty during the interview process, all federal workers will also be continuously vetted and must agree to submit to "checks for post-appointment conduct that may impact their continued trustworthiness," the guidance noted, referencing required patriotism repeatedly."

This tweet made me laugh so much that I started listening to a lot of classic R&B and honestly it’s great
Tweet reading “I was raised on silk shirt rnb so all that incel shit never hit for me, I believe in beggin for the pussy. Outside in the rain, crying, throwing up, just for a sniff. That’s your role as a man”

Remembering to genuflect next time I’m at the Blue Crow Antique mall on VA’s eastern shore, where the only remaining Sam Goody sign I know is for sale, buzzing warmly and keeping watch over vinyl records and vintage Playboys 🙏

Kojima is basically wearing a Cinco Bro-oche
Picture of Kent from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! displaying his Cinco Bro-oche, a fashionable brooch for men, in the shape of a large sprawing octopus or squid, it's very large. Hideo Kojima at The Game Awards wearing a massive, sparkly brooch in the shape of the logo of his company, Kojima Productions. It's too big.

My first cell phone was a hand-me-down blue Nokia 3310 (left) in....2002? 2003? And my last pre-iPhone was a Nokia 6300 (right) that I think had swappable faceplates for *personality*. I could type T9 with one hand while keeping my eyes on the road.
Picture of a blue Nokia 3310 candybar-style cell phone from the early 2000s Nokia 6300 candybar-style cell phone from late 2000s/early 2010s, basically the same thing but a slightly sleeker chrome color look and center button. It did the job.
