Sign on door prohibiting immigration enforcement on private property

Shelf filled with goggles and whistles

This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Ah, understandable. Do you know anything about when the search function will be working properly on the new version?

@bho.bsky.social will the archived version of your site ever be freely avaliable again, as it was earlier in the year? 🙏

London museum identifies black Waterloo veteran in rare 1821 painting ‘Honourable’ bandsman Thomas James will feature in display at National Army Museum highlighting service of black soldiers in Napoleonic wars

'He fought in the Napoleonic wars and is one of only nine Black soldiers known to have received the Waterloo Medal, the first British medal awarded to soldiers regardless of their rank.

Yet the story of Pte Thomas James has been overlooked for centuries.'

Mosaic of an archangel at Hagia Sophia

Lincoln’s Newport Arch was built by the Romans in the 3rd century and is still very much in use by vehicles today, some 1,800 years later- this is pretty amazing!

This is classic monopolist behavior: instead of expanding output and maintaining or lowering the price level, maintain or restrict the output and raise the price level. This is the story of sports, concerts, housing, elite universities and much else.

Speaking last week at CNBC and Boardroom's "Game Plan" conference, Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino took a rosier outlook, insisting that the demand for live entertainment has never been higher, and tickets are "underpriced." "Music has been underappreciated," Rapino said, especially compared to sports. "In sports, I joke it's like a badge of honor to spend 70 grand for a Knicks courtside [seat]. They beat me up if we charge $800 for Beyoncé." He added, "We have a lot of runway left. So when you read about ticket prices going up, the average concert price is still $72. Try going to a Laker game for that, and there's 80 of them. The concert is underpriced and has been for a long time."

One of the biggest problems we're gonna have in the future is a lack of guillotine capacity.
