Right, we agree that airports and coastal landmasses are not the same; I think we probably also agree that CBP's claimed jurisdiction is an absurd overreach but haven't quite aligned on how they define it.

Actually yeah CBP does also claim enhanced authority at international ports of entry like DFW but I didn't say you can fly a boat.

"international land borders *and the U.S. coastline*" is the important bit there. You can pilot a ship from Lake Michigan to Canada without touching ground, therefore CPB claims it under their jurisdiction.

The lake doesn't give a shit where you put the invisible line that separates the part called Lake Michigan from the part called Lake Huron, it's all one body of water you can pilot a ship from Canada to the US through. I don't make the policy, take it up with DHS if you want a geography lesson.

screenshot of a popup on Google Sheets with two buttons "Learn more" and "Got it"
header reads "Gemini can now do more for you in Sheets" with "for" scribbled out in red, and the word AS above it, so it says "Gemini can now do more AS you in Sheets"
below that:
Gemini can now make requested changes and insert content directly into your files.
HIGHLIGHTED TEXT: All inserted content will be attributed to you in version history.
For inline features like =Al), Gemini will insert content directly. For the side panel, Gemini will provide a preview first unless it understands your goal is a direct edit, such as making a pivot table or adding conditional formatting.
Gemini in Workspace can make mistakes, including about people, so double-check responses.

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.
I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Straight-line distance from a border isn't relevant, the jurisdiction is defined by radius from any coastline that can reach another country's waters. Since you can take an uninterrupted boat trip from Burnham Harbor to Port Severn, Ontario, Lake Fucking Michigan counts.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrowβs budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me πWeβre just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. Itβs been a roaring success. For every β¬1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got β¬1.46 back. Canβt argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
Damn. This is amazing. Β£325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I've seen conflicting reports on this, like I wouldn't be surprised if the modern DHS would claim they are to claw out more federal authority but considering air travel is already under a dozen extra layers of security (theater) I'm not sure there would be a significant difference.

Also important to note this is not a new policy or one unique to the Trump regime; shit's been like this at least since the DHS was excreted by the Bush II administration, with similar policies present before that.
