Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.

The image shows a curved earth horizon, viewing towards Antarctica and clouds over the ocean south of Australia. The bottom of the image is dark. Going up we pass the terminator and enter sunlight. The horizon is brighly lit, with the blackness of space above it. Here the image shows a number of thin blueish streaks which are noctilucent clouds. The Himawari 9 satellite is positioned in a geostationary location over the western Pacific Ocean. The satellite is operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

The world is becoming a terrifying place, but let’s talk nevertheless for a moment about a wonder of nature: noctilucent clouds (#nlc). They form over high geographical latitudes during midsummer. The image shows nlcs over Antarctica on 27 January 2025 seen by #Himawari9 satellite. 1/7

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

European Union orders X to hand over algorithm documents EC has also requested access to information on how X moderates and amplifies content.

The move follows complaints from politicians in Germany that X’s algorithm is promoting content by the far right ahead of the country’s February 23 elections.

One of the first plays I performed in (and not very well!) as Algernon in "The Importance of Being Earnest" was at Theatre Palisades. It was an incredibly beautiful theatre, now gone, consumed in the Palisades Fire.
