DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

I’m glad to be done with the holidays. I do enjoy them, but I feel like regular life is out on hold and it’s a bit boring/flat. Yes, I know I’m a weirdo.

Yesterday my daughter applied to her first law school, so naturally we watched Legally Blonde (which came out the year she was born)! My kids didn’t believe me that college campuses weren’t really like that, back then when they showed her undergrad.i wonder how much better movies depict college now.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

It isn’t erasing or excusing bigotry to point out that a bigot did Good Things at a different point in their life.

What it is, is acknowledging that people are complex and multifaceted and we can judge them as whole creatures. The world is not binary. People are not binary.

I couldn’t find the salt pork at the grocery store and asked the butcher for a substitute I could use. They pulled out their phone and asked ai to recommend a substitute. Cmon man, really?

Not getting a good nights sleep kinda ruins your whole day. Especially someone who can only nap when sick, once I’m up, I’m up. (At4am)

Wizened Millennials sneering at Gen Alpha: I told you the old ways are best

(Gen X, petting its moldering set of the 1983 World Book Encyclopedia: Soon. Soon.)
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.
