The Las Playas Intaglio, a giant fish carved into the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, is now considered the oldest example in the Americas of a geoglyphic, the ancient art form that is carved into or drawn on the ground.

It's just after 1pm on another picture perfect fall day in Chicago. So far today, masked federal agents have taken people from Brighton Park and suburban Aurora. ~1 year after the "Blitz" began, the alerts haven't subsided. ICE is still breaking windows and destroying worlds.

Good morning, Mr, @girmayzahilay.bsky.social. Doesn’t it violate King County’s rules to have ICE obscure its loading of migrants from the Boeing Field livestream like this? And can you please find out if the migrants have been on buses on the tarmac all night after yesterday’s plane (N468AW) broke?

In 2004, Playboy visited Google's founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the then 31-year-old tech co-founders. At the time, the leading ethos of Google? Don’t be evil. What has happened? Read now: www.playboy.com/read/politic...
Playboy article ft. Google co-founders in print. At the time, they told Playboy that meant a few things: They were choosy about advertisers, had a social-good grant program, and a free email service (perhaps you’ve heard of it) that they promised would never “hold your emails hostage” if you wanted to leave. In the conversation, Google’s founders outline a vision that isn’t necessarily about making a web behemoth, but about connecting everyone to all the information they could ever need – arguably, that sounds like a force for good. And it was that idea that Page said made Google different from other search engines:

As someone who is given a wide berth to say stuff to the right that other writers can’t or don’t, I think part of it is feeling like you’re in on the joke or the plan. Everyone knows I’m up to something, or saying something very targeted. I feel similar toward Mamdani with Trump.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

Yes. It does not matter if you think the Kennedy Center is bougie: private individuals do not get to destroy public goods. If you budge one iota on this stance, then you lose the right to object when he demands bits of the national parks as a treat. You've already agreed with him on the principle.
