NEW: You should know about this lawsuit in Maine. Basically, it's testing whether states can pass laws that'll allow you to sue ICE agents (even in federal court!). Learn more, it's fascinating and complex — but at bottom, it's all about whether there are basic mechanics of accountability.

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

big, big hearts and deepest condolences to everyone else who became deeply invested fans of egypt thirty seven minutes ago.

Yeesh this fucking game. This wc continues to deliver either way.

This is why Trump is attacking Denmark. It’s a massive escalation. Markets simply refuse to believe this is happening. We haven’t had any handle on Iran’s responses at any stage. The whole idea of America being able to “protect convoys” was just a bluff. And now it’s called.

NEW: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears to have used an address where he did not live while voting in six elections in the past two years — despite warning voters that “it is illegal to misrepresent your residence on election records.” with @texastribune.org

"Republican lawmakers created the center last year to push back against what they considered liberal indoctrination on Iowa college campuses." Their solution: make students take courses like this (from Iowa).

The astonishing grassroots protests against data centers give us something new: a mass mobilization focused squarely on protecting American hometowns from oligarchic exploitation. trib.al/ZmYJrPA

you really got us out here cheering for belgium lmao

That’s what happens when you get rid of the department of defense

The USMNT and Knicks being really good except for the precise moment when Trump involves himself is really funny

Gotta be honest, this is the funniest & most obvious outcome after Trump got involved. v Game 3 Knicks-like

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

At least the Knicks had a few more games during which they could exorcise the curse.

That the U.S. appears to have completely visibly given up after a catastrophic own goal fuck up is a little on the nose.

Trump’s World Cup intervention has ruined the game | Robert Reich

This match is like a re-enactment of me being easily conquered the first time I tried fries with mayonnaise

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

This studio holds some of the most veteran FPS developers in the history of the industry. The folks who know the most about engine optimization, too. Livelihoods ruined for no goddamn reason and the damage from these layoffs will be felt for years.

I think it's good that at least in one of the two political parties you can still (sometimes) get ostracized for (certain) bad behavior

You're laughing... I can't withdraw my Bonk from Kraken and you're laughing?

there are very few jobs in the world where you can disappear for weeks without providing an explanation, and "member of congress" should not be one of them, imo

Fuck a business kingdom. A system in which capitalists are royalty and CEOs are royal governors is not livable. Ownership must not allow for such arbitrary command over so many other people's lives

ICE just spent $1.5 BILLION to purchase two massive prisons in California it was already using for detention, in an effort to avoid oversight from the state, which has been pressuring the private prison company that owned them. CoreCivic will continue operating the facilities.

You literally cannot be selectively against corruption. There are no exceptions. If there are, you are not actually against corruption.

Abbott Laboratories donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund. Trump bought around $500,000 worth of shares in Abbott stock last year. His DOJ just dropped a years-long criminal investigation into Abbott for potential deadly misconduct. Everything is for sale.

Donald Trump is once again openly bragging about his own corruption.
