The Texas Military Department confirmed to @taskandpurpose.com it had replaced some of the 200 National Guard troops sent to Chicago for not being "in compliance" with validation standards. This came after photos of heavyset NG members were widely mocked. taskandpurpose.com/news/texas-n...

It is incredibly clear that Stephen Miller has decided this guy must be tortured, and nothing else will suffice, otherwise the Trump administration looks weak.

Dude is a literal war criminal.

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough.

www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

For weeks, Mr. Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who is married to a U.S. citizen, has made clear that he would not challenge his deportation if he were sent to Costa Rica, which has promised him legal residency and guaranteed that he would not be sent back to El Salvador.

But the Trump administration has refused to deport him to Costa Rica, and in an earlier hearing this week, Judge Xinis pressed the administration to consider the option or clarify why it was unacceptable.

There is a certain brand of poster, the "Mao was right about everything" and "the only people who died in the gulags were criminals" type poster, that I do break my rules and just block on sight.

I remember LF, you have no power here, Gandalf Stormcrow.

And it's not like "oh you could spend the money but you just didn't" - they don't have huge lifespans, once they get ill, it usually means they're just at the end of their lifespan.

Realistically he's actually a good party soldier who just shits on the party on Fox news, but still votes with them when they need his vote.

I don't actually see a huge problem with him other than a "what a jerk"

Honestly probably more than a month, I think I use a bag every 6-7 weeks.

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 5h

Cost is absolutely trivial as well. A bag of feed is probably $20, and will last 6-8 birds who have a good amount of room to scavenge (and get scraps) about a month.

If you're in an area where you have to deal with natural predators, more work.

Backyard chickens are honestly about the easiest thing in the world once you have the run up. You need the backyard, of course.

But yeah, we have between 6 and 8 hens all the time and I would describe the workload as exceptionally small.

I mean, Fetterman's change in political behavior 1:1 correlates to when he had his stroke ffs, and also corresponds with the leaks for his wife about how rough their personal life is. Why are we even talking about this? Strokes change people.

Raise your own chickens, fear no egg price.

Errant @errantv.bsky.social · 5h

until we get a good livestock vaccine (i.e. 18 months into next Dem admin minimum) we're going to have big seasonal swings in egg + poultry meat prices as avian flu wipes out flocks late summer during wild fowl migrations.

After a summer respite, bird flu is back

Bird flu is spreading again as water fowl migrate. In poultry, cases are spiking earlier than expected, so some state officials are bracing for a challenging autumn.

Yeah, I mean, also Surveillance capitalism and the Surveillance police state want fundamentally different things. Capitalism cares about getting your money, and doesn't really care about a lot else. Actually, it would like you to keep spending.

Not so true with a surveillance police state.
