BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Today I discovered that if my car locked itself while I was in it, and I didn't have the key with me, then I wouldn't be able to get myself out.

You would hope there are several right wing Americans that look at this and have a "are we the baddies" moment.
Holy crap.
This is the most damning video yet.
It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face.
Murder.

One thing that always gets me a while to get used to after not working in #fsharp for a while is the ordering
For those not aware, F# reads things in order, both in a module, and the file system. So the entry point for a program must be the last file, and in any module, the entry point is last.

![On 22 July 2016, while attending the Republican National Convention with Farage, Cottrell was arrested by IRS Criminal Investigation special agents at Chicago O'Hare International. Cottrell was federally indicted on 21 counts for conspiracy to commit money laundering, wire fraud, blackmail, and extortion. Denied bail by a judge who branded Cottrell a "serious flight risk," he was detained in custody at Metropolitan Correctional Center, Chicago.[18]
Cottrell's indictment states how in 2014, he met with undercover federal agents in Las Vegas, where he conspired to launder millions of dollars' worth of drug money using offshore bank accounts. However, following a plea agreement in December 2016, prosecutors agreed to dismiss 20 counts in return for a guilty plea to a single count of wire fraud in which Cottrell admitted to explaining various ways criminal proceeds could be laundered.[7]
In March 2017, Cottrell was sentenced and released by Judge Diane Humetewa, having served eight months in prison.[19]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:onjnma4nrxe6ozjw4dnbxn42/bafkreiha5ksxjvm5emgnfvbagqo2n7iw4mpu62emioyjet65amggxbwcsi@jpeg)

My dogs winter vibe is 9-5, a bird cracking a twig in the garden will trigger a 10 minute barking session, and then 5-midnight it's "i don't care if we're getting burgled, I'm not shifting from my bed in front of the fire"

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Just went in a cafe where every table had a dog, and it took me nearly 15 minutes to leave because of all the scritches I had to do.
