To explain why “Abolish ICE” is the only path forward:
ICE is an organization that essentially advertises itself as “Like the Nazi Gestapo, but without the courage to show our faces while committing our crimes against humanity.”

So, every 2 weeks, since 2021, Amazon sends me recommendations, with THE SAME TWO BOOKS at the top of the list. To be clear, neither of these books bear the slightest resemblance to what I read.
I'd love to get good book recommendations, but their algorithm is clearly broken.

Today’s reminder that Facial Recognition is a garbage technology that has been proven to be often wrong, particularly when attempting to identify POCs.
While it MAY have some uses as a 1st pass scan, the idea that it should override _anything_ is ridiculous on its face.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

This is exactly the same argument — and, in parts, even the same language — that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a “right” not to live next to people who were different from them.

People are saying this has never been done before, but I have DEFINITELY seen a player strike out 10 players on the opposing team while hitting 3 home runs in a single game, just like Shohei Ohtani did last night.

Hallelujah!! Had the Mets had even mediocre fielders on the corners, the Mets win at least 5 more games this year.
You can't win championships with terrible fielders on 1st, 3rd, and Right Field, plus mediocre fielders with limited range on 2nd and in Left Field.

I watched today's Mets game trying to root them to the postseason. But to be honest, this team, right now (and over the last 6 weeks) couldn't win a series against any team that made the playoffs.
There's part of me that's relieved I don't have to watch them get swept in LA.

Pete cranks another homer, which is a great start, but I have to believe there’s some kind of strategy that lets the Mets score, other than a solo home run.
Maybe I’m crazy. Maybe this team has no capacity to score other than swinging out of their shoes with no one on base.
