Hours after Border Patrol agent Charles Exum shot Marimar Martinez five times, Gregory Bovino emailed him to ask he continue working past retirement:Β 

"In light of your excellent service in Chicago, you have much yet left to do!!" he wrote.

A Reddit user identifies the boy who took a Grammy from Bad Bunny in the halftime show as five-year-old model Lincoln Fox and says that he was meant to represent Bad Bunny as a child www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/... www.reddit.com/user/BabySea...

Inside Bad Bunny’s Historic Super Bowl Halftime Show Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity. And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

The last ~week on this website seems to confirm what I’ve always kinda-sorta figured was the case: social media, and context/algorithm free social media, ain’t worth it.

And I’m just some pud! If I had an actual following I would push social media as far away as possible from my orbit

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

SHOCKING FEDERAL COURT MOMENT: DOJ attorney Julie Le, "The system sucks, this job sucks" to Judge Jerry Blackwell who pressed her on why so many court orders are being ignored by ICE/Trump admin. She asked to be held in contempt just so she could get 24 hours of sleep. @FOX9

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

(It’s a mistake to post again in this thread but here goes lol)

This is largely the point I was trying to get at in my Peter quoted post. Not my best post! I left some words out but figured my larger point would land. It didn’t. That’s on me.

Seeing the thread spiral today has been v fascinating

i do think that if you find yourself spending more than a few minutes a day obsessing over what another person who's largely politically aligned with you said or did on a social media website, you gotta go touch some grass (and i am talking about a lot of people here, including myself sometimes)

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.

If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.
