This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.
Finding out that top execs from both LifeTouch and Chuck E. Cheese are in the Epstein files has pissed me off in a way that I didn’t think was still possible.

I'll never forget former Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti saying, "In a good economy, homelessness goes up."
A perfect encapsulation of what happens when a "strong economy" is measured by everything except whether workers can afford necessities like housing or healthcare.

Europeans think all the random loot in Fallout is because of a nuclear war but America is just like that. Yesterday, I found a rocket launcher looking for my phone charger.

Your laptop could always talk to you, you just needed to give it the right instructions
and i think it is extremely impressive that i can run one of those pieces of compressed knowledge on a laptop with no cooling fan from 10 years ago
been experimenting with tiny LLMs lately (like GLM 2.5 1.2B) and as a "im offline and don't have a search engine but i need to look something up" thing they're pretty ok
obviously don't go asking them about setting up wifi on openBSD, but for basic stuff they're extremely capable for 1.2GBs of data

These guys who stayed pagan until 9-10th centures (later than anyone else in the Greek Peninsula). I guess being religiously, linguistically, and genetically isolated is not unlikely to go hand-in-hand (geography-driven)
