“The total was $120 because it was for 24 cans of meat, not one, as Shirley said in his video.” Mersai walks through Shirley’s footage step by step. He showed how the woman brought one can of luncheon meat to the register and then said in Vietnamese, according to Mersai, “Can I get a case of this?”

I looked it up and realized I should be more specific: Congress banned mailing lynching postcards via an amendment to the Comstock Act. And now the conservatives on the Supreme Court want to use that 1873 act to again ban mailing contraceptives.

I still can’t get over learning that white people attending lynchings would send lynching post cards in the mail, such that the USPS had to ban mailing such material.

The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us!

This all REEKS of an extortion scheme with Vance playing bad cop and Trump playing good cop simultaneously. “That’s a nice company you’ve got there Microsoft, it’d be a shame if something were to happen to it.”
Cover of Seattle Times on October 8, 2026 with the top story saying “Trump honors Microsoft CEO after Vance drops an H1B visa hammer on the company” and underneath stories, saying “Trump administration suspending Microsoft from Green card program,” and “Microsoft disputes Vance‘s math on hiring foreign workers”

They are becoming more and more explicit that creating dossiers on you and graphing your relationships is the whole point. “Agents” indeed. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/07/m...
Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is taking a try-before-you-buy approach with her new photo-centric AI agent startup Dazzle, a tactic she said is important “for those occasional users or those users who are just trying to see what the service can do at the very beginning.”

Dazzle analyzes users’ personal photos to understand aspects of their lives, such as their family members or interests, and then can take actions like reminding someone that a pair of shoes they recently looked up is on sale online.

It’s a strategy she learned from her early tenure at Google
, before the company built its market-leading online ad platform.
