Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

“You’re not just making a personal decision, you’re making it for your community,” he said. “We’ve learned that the whole community making a change is what really matters.” Best of luck asking people to give up their eucs for the sake of the community www.mercurynews.com/2025/12/13/z...

Sounds to me like they're just feeding their husbands to cats

The USGS provides several views. This is the west one.

We are a great country that can do great things like fight a war and invent a banger steak sauce simultaneously.

i talked to RANGE about how the dominance Doug Wilson has been claiming over Moscow, ID on the national stage isn’t borne out in local elections:

Keys & Mulder build dataset to study homeowners insurance using over 74 million premiums from 2014–2024 inferred from mortgage escrow payments. Premium increases are capitalized into home values, reducing home price growth by over $40,000 in the most exposed zip codes. www.nber.org/papers/w32579

My honest reaction to that information

It’s an Interesting Time to cancel your @nytimes.com subscription!

This is where I make a minor note that Jewish religious court commentaries have held that the actual "sin of Sodom" (that pushed the Most High to decide to smite it) *wasn't* gay sex, or even angel rape, but a girl subjected to death by scaphism for feeding the poor www.sefaria.org/Sanhedrin.10...

so back when my dad was working in a Hong Kong children's home aged 18 he had another foreign volunteer friend, Jane. One time they were in the market, and Jane found a really nice cloth with two Chinese characters on, and took it home and made a blouse out of it.

I think very often people do not realize the sheer *scale* of government, particularly the US government.

A forgotten Chinese cemetery reveals how Missoula buries its past — and why the present is so familiar.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote. (Published Dec. 2024)

A bunch of supposed leftists spent the entire biden admin undermining the most pro worker admin since FDR because their treats cost too much

There it is.

Sure, why not

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

RIP Diane Keaton, I know The Godfather is easy to dismiss as For the Boys but it doesn’t work without an actress who can wordlessly sell this moment

Look at her go! #invertebrates 🌿

Just because an LLM can produce a report with various figures & charts doesn't mean it is good at statistics. Because good statistics is not about producing code. It's about deep knowledge of study design & conduct. In my opinion, 95% of all data science problems come from poor questions & design.

The Chinese immigrants who built the Transcontinental Railroad quietly endured racism and violence, fostering a complicated legacy for Chinese-Americans.

Just to be blunt, if you want Wired and 404 and The Verge to employ reporters who understand the memes on bullet casings and can connect them to gaming culture while having the legal and support resources to deal with waves of harassment when we do it… you have to subscribe and pay for the work

Firefighting veterans believe the management team overseeing fire crews played a key role in handing team members over to immigration authorities, shares Stateline. buff.ly/CicG9BT

This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

listen, doomers: do you think they just forgot to let ernst in on the big plan to rig the midterms?

the only thing i dislike about this essay from @polphilpod.bsky.social is that i didn't write it first. it gets at the point a lot of us are waking up to: we must reinvigorate liberalism *as a political movement* and not just a structure of institutions newrepublic.com/article/1992...

This is a really good joke that deserves special recognition.

@bubbaprog.lol So is it just a thing more to have the score bug buried under the closed captions?

This man is your friend. He fights for freedom. Jovial fat white ethnic goofy dad support is how we go mainstream.

Given the length and scope of the trafficking and criming, it stands to reason there are a very large amount of victims that the American public should want to hear from. Centering Maxwell, an enabler at best, of these crimes, over them is both wrong and tone deaf.

UFP Edge east of Missoula will close on Sept. 27, according to the company.

Here’s JD Vance-influencer Curtis Yarvin advocating a return to slavery. So that’s how things are going on this July 4th.

Google, you've got to just sit down

Wired continues to rise to the moment.

I just wanna see a Billa in every neighborhood like they have in Austria. Truly a magical experience. I would just wander the isles and gaze upon the variety of sausage.

You’re sheltering bald JD Vance images on your phone, are you not?

I go full Sicko Mode when I read things like this www.energycentral.com/home/post/so...

everybody good news! i fixed it! the album cover is okay now! we can all like it, it's something everyone can agree on now

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

It's infuriating how 99% of the coverage of this new war doesn't bother to mention that it is happening because we had an agreement to limit and monitor Iran's nuclear program, which even Trump's own aides said was working, and he blew it up because it was negotiated under Obama.
