OK, we're leaving the asbestos *in* the stuff women put on their faces? And, the powder we put on kids' bums? Check!

Huh, some chick scientist says, “It only takes a single asbestos fiber lodged in the lungs to cause mesothelioma decades later.”

What me, worry?

This story & his sister's telling of it is a master class in how deeply sick family dynamics are rationalized under white male power.

His father killed a woman in a drunken stupor, and then started "boxing" with Bovino as a kid, punching him out.

This isn't toughness. It doesn't make men heroes.
Gregory Bovino’s sister, on him being mad at The Border:

“Greg was so psyched because he'd read all these articles and loved the toughness and the values of all these old timers. Then he went to the movie, and the Border Patrol person was a criminal.” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
How a family secret led Greg Bovino to lead Trump's border crackdown
Before he became the face of Trump's tough ICE policies, Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino endured a childhood marked by a family scandal that changed the trajectory of his life.

We obtained video of the incident, which shows the drone shearing a wire line then landing in a customer's yard.

Considering Eric Adams deliberately, as one of his last acts, left a huge $5 billion hole in the budget to screw over Mamdani, feel like Zohran's justified in purging all Adams staffer actually

If this is what it looks like, this is a live third amendment issue. The third amendment has always been my favorite amendment, but largely because it never came up.
Idk if I'm right. Here's what I think I'm seeing:

Police are using her lawn as a staging area. She wants them off. The say she's obstructing them and they'll arrest her. She keeps repeating that it's her property and she won't let them on it without a warrant.

They stay!

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?

TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The subtext in JD Vance asking for "patience" on the economy: When leaders stop talking about current conditions and jump straight to rosy forecasts, they’re signaling the present isn’t defensible. That’s your cue to scrutinize the numbers, not just the narrative.

Use case is frequent power outages in a remote location. It doesn’t need to be fast or powerful or store charge, just give a phone enough juice to pop on data & check BC Hydro repair updates on Day 3.
