A federal contracting database lists an ICE payment for $61,218 with the payment code “guided missile warheads and explosive components.” But it appears ICE simply entered the wrong code.

No, ICE (Probably) Didn't Buy Guided Missile Warheads

Please don’t QT this. The bit about missiles is incorrect

“Some version of” is doing a TON of work here. I fully believe lots of Marines have skull and crossbones tattoos. Skull and crossbones are cool! The “death’s head” tattoo that Platner has is extremely specifically Nazi and is not just a generic skull and crossbones

If you spend any amount of time on a local/city subreddit (please don’t) you’ll see posts asking “what’s this weird illness going around???” and the answer is almost always just Covid

It’s a sign of light in this beleaguered world that people are still stealing from the Louvre

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 4d

Thieves made off with “priceless” jewelry in a brazen daylight robbery on Sunday at the Louvre Museum in Paris, according to France’s interior minister.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

I know we like to talk about broccoli hair, but the crowd shots of Premier League matches show just an astounding number of young men with this haircut, as exemplified by Phil Foden. I think it should be included in any discussion of the crisis of masculinity
