It would certainly stay nice longer than the bottles

Like the pilots

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft

*pedantic hat*
The man portable laser system used here is, if properly operated, capable of heating parts of the drone and hopefully melting the plastic propellers.
It poses no direct danger to aircraft.
But it can blind any person in visual range

my understanding from reading people in the know is that CBP was known as the place for fuckups who couldn’t hack it anywhere else and was considered a backwoods clown agency

now they’re being given infinite money, no supervision and - apparently - drone lasers

what could go wrong

Don’t let ICE, the FBI, or any government agency be able to keep tabs on you and your neighborhood activity.

The message here is simple. Get rid of your Ring and get your pets microchipped.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too

the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them

ICE officials are saying “job in Minnesota is done.”

What do they think their job is – killing two innocent people, abducting toddlers and shipping them to Texas, detaining legal citizens?

ICE didn’t make Minnesota safer – it was Minnesotans who stood together and got ICE out of our state.

I recently visited the ICE Detention Center in Tacoma, and after meeting with Oregonians in detention I spoke with workers and volunteers at AIDNW. 🧵

When immigrants and asylum seekers are released, advocates for Immigrants in Detention Northwest (AIDNW) connects then with essential services, including food, clothes, phone access, and transportation.

DHS  claims to be 'winding down' in the Twin Cities. Local leaders are still pissed. The top border official cited "unprecedented levels of coordination” with local leaders.

After more than two months of an aggressive—and deadly—occupation of the Twin Cities, top immigration official Tom Homan said during a press conference that the Trump administration is scaling back “Operation Metro Surge.”

Local officials aren’t buying it.

"Why did they never find a vegetable that was bad for you, hey? And what was so wrong with onion gravy anyway? It has onions in it didn’t it? They made you fart, didn’t they? That was good for you, wasn’t it? He was sure he had read that somewhere."

Jamie Raskin to Pam Bondi: "You turned the people's Department of Justice into Trump's instrument of revenge. Trump orders up prosecution like pizza."

Yesterday we learned that the Department of Justice is monitoring and tracking members of Congress’s searches of the Epstein files. There’s no sugar coating it: the administration is spying on lawmakers as they exercise their constitutional oversight responsibilities. 1/10

the absolute contempt that every single person I know from Minnesota has for Amy Klobuchar is extraordinary

US Attorney General Pam Bondi with Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sitting on a stage talking. Eric Schmitt is wearing a navy suit with a white or light blue dress shirt, solid red tie, and black cowboy boots. His pants are very slim causing them to ride up high when he sits down and revealing a bit of leg betwen his pant hem and the tops of his cowboy boots.

come on

Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Just in: GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!). We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR - BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!! President DJT'

Still waiting to see this ‘Golden Age’ he keeps talking about.

The problem with this is that it does not allow students to develop the skills to do this on their own.

Also, NEVER use AI to identify fallacies in arguments in this way. Fallacies like the ones listed don't render the arguments invalid and promote a particular image of how discourse takes place.

Happy birthday, Chuck.

Proud to carry on your legacy of studying evolutionary biology while going through it

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together.

I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.

Professors in the Epstein Files Begin to Face Consequences Several faculty members who spoke regularly with Epstein have been stripped of their titles or teaching duties.

"Epstein had pitched [art school dept chair] on a potential art exhibit titled 'Statutory' that would showcase underage models dressed to look older than they were."

He was really just upfront with it.
