Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

In lieu of a 2026 prediction, my 5-10ish year prediction is that contemporary art will see a dramatic snap towards intricate, highly technical work. A dual response to the AI slop era and deskilled conceptual work that's proliferated in the past few decades

GUEST POST: In modern college sports, is it possible to measure teams' academic progress?
For years, the NCAA has used two metrics, APR and GSR, to track teams' academic standing. But with the advent of NIL and increased transfers, where do those metrics ā and academics in general ā fit?

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.
