Just learned those whose Citizenship Oath Ceremonies were canceled because of the shutdown (meaning they already passed their interview), are now subject to further vetting, including random home visits from officials. They claim they want people to do it “the right way” but remove all those routes.

I like the Vikings, and root for them any time they aren’t playing the Ravens, but today, I’m going to the game as a full-fledged Ravens fan. I hope I don’t leave the building demoralized.

There is legitimately no worse streaming app than Paramount Plus. Crashes every time you add subtitles, and other times just outright refuses to play the video I select.

Good thing there are no busy travel days coming up in the next couple of weeks.
U.S. airlines again cancel more than 1,000 flights on the second day of cuts tied to the government shutdown.

U.S. airlines again canceled more than 1,000 flights Saturday mostly because of the government shutdown and the Federal Aviation Administration’s order to reduce air traffic.

Appeasement is, historically, not the best approach when it comes to dealing with people like Trump. It’s a short-term band-aid rather than a long-term solution. Strength is the only answer. You don’t give the bully your lunch money. You show the bully you’re not going to allow them to pick on you.
Breaking News: Cornell University reached an agreement with the Trump administration that would restore hundreds of millions in funding to the university. It's expected to pay a $30 million fine to the government and to invest $30 million in agriculture and farming programs.
Cornell Reaches Deal with Trump Administration to Restore Research Funds
The Ivy League university had warned of layoffs after the Trump administration stripped it of funds this year. The cuts were among the deepest in higher education.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

I’ve been able to confirm that these cuts impact people of a wide range of experience and seniority levels. Spoke with one person who has been there for well over a decade who was cut today. This is awful.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC
I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.
I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

The thing about all these Nintendo mobile apps is that they’re mostly unnecessary. Nintendo Music could be folded into other streaming apps. Nintendo Today is the most “This app could have been a post” app to ever exist. And the Nintendo Switch app should just include the Nintendo Store app.
