Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheehan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

DHS made a massive purchase of 2,500 new custom marked ICE vehicles that are now sitting in parking garages because nobody wants to use them: β€œICE has never had marked vehicles. We don’t want to use these - we can’t.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/immig...

I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

I’m amazed that so many people can’t fathom the clusterfuck of the Vietnam war. Mostly poor and middle class young men drafted right out of high school. Nearly 60,000 coming back in body bags. Arguments over the shape of the negotiating table. Endless horror.

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.

In the 90s, some Russian-connected people in Miami (I think) told undercover FBI they could get them a nuclear weapon, but the FBI felt they had to bust them before they moved on to that.

If some people are beautiful because they are so fascinatingly ugly, there must be people who are ugly because they are so fastidiously beautiful [that they] have achieved technical excellence at the expense of erotic charisma.

I mean, I suppose it'd better than Red Spit. Might need to consult a doctor for that.

Not the Idoru I imagined, l’m afraid. (Actually the previous sentence can be two, as well.)

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, β€œI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Did Alzheimer’s Impact Terry Pratchett’s Discworld? I have a variety of techniques I use to deal with the ongoing collapse of everything, most of them different kinds of drugs. But I also have healthy habits, like reading, and when it comes to readi…

A new study examined Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels to see if they could detect changes in his writing prior to his tragic Alzheimer's diagnosis. Here's what the study says, and what it doesn't say πŸ§ͺ skepchick.org/2026/03/did-...

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
