If I was one of America's enemies I don't think I could ask for a greater gift than America executing someone live on TV. You can't buy anti-American propaganda that good.

DHS is simply buying local cops’ support with our tax dollars. Like I’ve been saying, they own a lot of these cops. www.wsj.com/us-news/immi...

Even if Boring's deputies don't take any others into custody, his department is eligible for a payment equal to more than a quarter of its annual budget. Those are the terms of a Department of Homeland Security task force program that enlists local police as paid partners in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
Jurisdictions similar to Doddridge County-sparsely populated with few immigrants-make up the majority of new recruits to the
DHS task force program, which has become a cash cow for state and local law enforcement agencies nationwide. After turning over a single deportable immigrant, departments qualify to receive $60,000 a year for each deputized officer, regardless of additional arrests.

The Venice Police Department in Venice, Fla., tallied one federal immigration detention in September 2025 and has since requested a total of $895,000. The department can continue collecting funds every quarter as long as it remains on the task force.
The program is most profitable for large departments. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office in Florida signed up more than 970 deputies, making it eligible for roughly $14.5 million in DHS funds from April to June, state records show. That pencils out to more than $2 million for each of its seven immigration arrests in that quarter.

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

incredibly English write-up of Kansas-Arizona State in London www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/s...

It was a scene that lingered during a humdrum match, played out over three hours and 37 minutes. Even in the lulls, those bands never let the atmosphere drop. The Jayhawks’ band played the Beatles’ Twist and Shout and Cameo’s Word Up. The Sun Devils’ band responded with Salt-N-Pepa’s Push It. It made for a great – and unique – atmosphere.

And the game itself? Well, let’s just say the Union Jack Classic did not live up to its billing. It was not a classic. Arizona State won 24-17, a scoreline that was nowhere near as close as it sounds. Especially as, until the final minutes, Kansas’s offense was as stodgy and uninspiring as suet pudding.

Before the game, the Fox Sports analyst Chris Fallica suggested that this match was the equivalent of a lower-tier Premier League or upper-tier Championship match. Think Nottingham Forest versus Coventry. He was soon proved correct.

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

All the big breakthroughs in Silicon Valley that happened in the 90s were about connecting people and that was exciting. Email, the internet, even social media! 'AI', as it exists today, is the opposite. It's about isolation. Stops people from talking to each other. Stops collaboration.
