You don’t call it “the Indian question” by accident. They know what they’re referring to. Thank you to the New York Times, Bill Ackman, & Ron DeSantis for giving a man like Rufo power.

Back from the local Oktoberfest. Not as big as I expected it to be, but in addition to beer (a given) they also had elk & pork brats and I'm convinced they were made by actual angels because good lord did they taste divine.

My absolute favorite use of the "only one F word allowed" rule for PG-13 movies, and oh boy did Kevin Bacon make it count.

Kevin Bacon & Fred Ward: Fuck You!
Alt: Kevin Bacon (as Val) & Fred Ward (as Earl) from the movie Tremors, where they've just accidentally killed a graboid by causing it to slam headfirst into a concrete canal wall at speed. Val celebrates this accidental kill by shouting the most emphatic and drawn out "Fuck You!" I've ever seen, while also guaranteeing no one else is allowed to drop the F word for the rest of the movie (as it would lose its PG-13 rating).

NEW: DHS's Inspector General releases a scathing report about the Everglades detention camp known as "Alligator Alcatraz." The OIG finds that the now-closed camp, violated multiple ICE standards. The OIG also confirms detainees were punished with placement in a metal cage in the Florida heat.🧵
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and
detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures.
Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of a metal cage that is 4 feet 3 inches wide by 4 feet 3 inches long, and 7 feet 9 inches high. The cage itself is placed on a tiny spot of fake turf, and then surrounded by another chainlink fence with razor wire on top. The cage is covered by a roof, but it's entirely exposed to the outside otherwise, meaning mosquitos and no air conditioning.

There's obviously more going on in thr screenshotted post, but "The voice in the game is human designed by us" just feels like a completely unnecessary lie about using AI for the voice. Unless they expect us to believe they're growing voice actors in vats in the basement, anyway.

The local jackrabbit has figured out how to get onto the back wall, presumably because it knows things can't get to it up there.
An adult jackrabbit with mostly ashy / dusty coloration save for some light brown patches on the front legs and back of the neck.

Its looking quite pleased with itself as it surveys the backyard from a 5 foot elevated wall with other plants providing additional cover should it want to hide.

However, it does not want to hide, it wants you all to bask in the glory of its presence.

ELEVEN ANGRY EX-MONKS ROLLING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO THROW THEIR ABBOT IN THE TRUNK OF THEIR CAR AND TAKE OVER THE MONASTERY, WHAT THE FUCK AM I READING
Take control
According to the local prosecutor, the case is linked to the tensions surrounding the leadership of the abbey. On the evening of the kidnapping, a group of eleven dissident monks arrived at the monastery.
"They reportedly proposed a new organizational structure within the monastery with the aim of taking control," said the prosecutor. It is said to involve monks from Bellaigue Abbey who had left the monastery some time before.
Bellaigue Abbey is not in the news for the first time.
The community was for a long time affiliated with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (SSP), an ultraconservative movement that opposes reforms within the Church. In early July, the Vatican excommunicated this fraternity after four priests were ordained as bishops without papal permission.
