Marine Detained in Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant He was observing after Alex Pretti’s killing. Feds detained him at gunpoint, sampled his DNA, scanned his face, and cloned his phone.

Almost like the covid vaccine is safe and effective and there's never been a good reason, other than a very recent infection, not to get one.

Last year, like apparently a lot of people (it was a thing), I read “Lonesome Dove” for the first time and, and enthralled, immediately watched the 1980s TV mini-series. It’s not great, limited by TV budgets and standards of the time, but Robert Duvall is so perfect as Gus…

two firefighters have been burned and permanently scarred by "harsh chemicals from a toxic muck fluid that pools in tunnels" at the Las Vegas Loop, but the feds don't think The Boring Company should pay over $400k in OSHA fines
