Fun fact: Tesla went with a giant touchscreen instead of knobs for the Model 3 purely to save time and money. Knobs would have required spinning up a whole supply chain. The company spun it as a luxury feature and much of the industry followed suit. But it was always an inferior substitute.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

I feel like people do not generally know when the last big bubonic plague outbreak was and how many people it killed (1855 in Yunnan, went worldwide, at least 15 million people, lasted for over a century.). There's a ton of apotropaic Chinese ritual from the period to ward it off.

Fed. judge accuses ICE agents of "apparently perjurious testimony," fabrication of evidence, false statements, fundamental misconceptions about ICE agents' authority, and more. Case involves the accidental arrest of a U.S. citizen who had to get stitches. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
So, the thought is that after issuing a fraudulent arrest warrant stating that petitioner’s information was part of the system when it was not and indicating that he could be biometrically identified even though they had not collected the information to make a positive match, Cuni attempted to reconcile these falsehoods by subsequently collecting the information, adding it to those systems and, after issuing the warrant, searching the databases again to “find” him.

Ahh, unlucky mate. Turns out trans healthcare is still the scientifically and morally correct thing to do. I assume you'll be apologising now? Not sure why you thought the last 5 years would be different to the nearly 100 before that but ok

The marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna) looks like a ferret dressing up as a cheetah for Halloween. They're native to a semi-desert grassland strip from Eastern Europe to Central Asia. Like a skunk, they can spray a foul-smelling fluid from anal glands. Let's talk about them. (📷: Petra Prager)
A marbled polecat photo from Petra Prager.  It looks almost exactly like a ferret, but the arched back is sort of orange with brown dots on it similar to a cheetah, and the head has a white stripe that reminds me of a skunk, with a long floofy tail and dark limbs.  This one looks alert and at rest.

Decided to test this for myself and Pangram told me with "high confidence"(!!!!) that sentences of a fic I wrote in literally 2018 were AI-generated
A pangram screenshot. The actual text is: To Victoria’s surprise, Alex is the first to voice his support. “Fuck it. Let’s do it,” he shrugs, standing up and striding over to the front door. Victoria raises a skeptical brow at him, but swiftly turns her gaze to the rest of the group, awaiting their responses.
“If it’s going to… for lack of a better term, eat us, no matter what… then it might be easier, psychologically speaking, to speed up the inevitable,” PupDOS agrees; and then suddenly, she smiles. Not polite, not humouring, but genuine, almost… relieved. Sazley sees the smile, and barely conceals a frown, but no one else seems to take notice. “I’m in,” PupDOS says, and she is surer than she’s been about anything of late.
Sazley is quick to follow, breaking out into an awkward grin to suppress her nerves. “I, uh, I guess this is our best shot,” she says.
Sabrina and Rebecca exchange worried glances, neither one completely confident about this plan. Both of them sit for a second, just processing the possible pros and cons of going along with Victoria’s idea. Finally, Sabrina reaches her hand over until it is resting overtop of Rebecca’s, and she leans over and whispers something in her girlfriend’s ear. Rebecca smiles a little, and then she nods.

18% of it is highlighted as AI by pangram with "high confidence": Only two spans are highlighted as AI: the end of the Sazley paragraph, "I, uh, I guess this is our best shot," she says, and the first two sentences of the next paragraph: "Sabrina and Rebecca exchange worried glances, neither one completely confident about this plan. Both of them sit for a second, just processing the possible pros and cons of going along with Victoria's idea."

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

Commissioned by a local paper merchant in 1891, the Hyōgo Daibutsu at Nōfuku-ji was among the largest Buddhist statues in Japan at the time. Not far from Kobe Harbor, the icon became a favored tourist destination in the early 20th century, but it is remembered only through photographs today. 🧵 🗃️ 📜
A large gray stone statue of a seated Buddhist figure fills the center of the image. The figure has closed eyes, a calm expression, textured rows of tightly curled hair, and a draped robe with layered folds. Its hands rest together in its lap. A small, spreading tree partially overlaps the statue on the right, while flowering plants with muted red, white, and green foliage fill the foreground. Behind the statue is a softly colored sky in pale blue, pink, and beige, with sparse branches and vegetation along the edges.A vintage color postcard shows a large seated Buddha statue beside a traditional Japanese temple complex. The gray Buddha occupies the left side of the image, with tightly patterned curls on its head, lowered eyes, and layered robes. At center and right are temple buildings with sweeping blue-gray tiled roofs, ornate roof decorations, and dark wooden structures. Pine trees, shrubs, stone lanterns, grave markers, and other stone monuments fill the foreground. A utility pole with a decorative lamp stands near the right side. The sky is pale blue with a warm pinkish tint near the horizon. Red text appears along the bottom edge.
