Cancel all the NBA games, cancel your concerts, cancel your little league games. Cancel the Olympics, cancel the Superbowl. Cancel everything until ICE is shutdown forever.

Welp. That happened, huh.

“nobody is insider trading off his death so it almost certainly didn’t happen” really sums up the state of the world in 2026 huh

Oh my God, water balloons!! Genius.

Truly the man’s logic is “but we have more guns. Why does the larger country not simply eat the other countries?”

“If you want to look for where the water was, look for the breweries,” says Chris Carlsson, a local writer and historian. missionlocal.org/2010/05/biki...

Questions I was not ever expecting to ask: But has the overall rate of 'pets killed by cars' gone up or down?

A board game docent is key to playing a new game. They must have a good memory and a robust enough ego that they want other people to win instead of them, but be competitive enough to have thought seriously through the strategies.

Being good at explaining games is a whole separate skill. One of my brothers is both super good at it and super good at suggesting games based on what his guest will enjoy and he's one of the only people who can suggest a new game and I'm like "sure, let's do it"

Amazing that a mere decade after women existing for the first time, we're able to get funding for increasing their ability to survive car accidents.

Weirdest headline ever. This is the loudest case of "Blink twice if you're not able to criticize the police" I've ever seen in reporting.

New York Times Op Ed Pitch: Is Ruining Thanksgiving the Third Rail of American Politics?

Oh, it appears to be "embarrass yourself at work by mentioning Dick Cheney to coworkers born in 1998" day.

Cancelled my account.

Nobody tell them that measles can cause low testosterone and infertility in men. What medical experts won't tell you is that vaccinations are the only thing that can help with this risk to male virility.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

Lots to love if this holds for CA crops: -utility-scale solar that doesn't require wrecking desert habitat -less water use, probably less dust -more options for siting close to existing transmission -on-site generation for switching diesel pumps to electric and cleaning up the air

Margaret Boden, a British philosopher and cognitive scientist who used the language of computers to explore the nature of thought and creativity, leading her to prescient insights about the possibilities and limitations of artificial intelligence, died last month at 88.
