More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

I was exactly the right age, and the video game is also a factor, but this exchange is prime Bond, IMO:

“No, for me.”

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

Chart shows Detention Population, Among Those Arrested by ICE in the Interior, by Criminal Record. The chart shows three lines; Prior conviction, pending criminal charges, and no criminal record. From 2019 through September 2025, the largest group is people with criminal convictions, with much further down people with pending charges. But starting in January, those without criminal records spikes dramatically. In July it crossed pending charges and in the latest data it jumps above criminal convictions.

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record.

As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

This opinion deserves its unpopularity. Something like 98% of my unknown callers are in the spam/scammers bucket; it’s also not that hard to leave a voicemail if this is truly an “important call.”

As a Jets fan and UCF alum, watching this coaching matchup feels like time and space have collapsed into a pile of things I’ve been forced to care about.

Banning mRNA COVID vaccine is ‘the goal,’ Florida surgeon general says Joseph Ladapo was asked a question about the state’s recent announcement on vaccines.

“The goal with the mRNA is for that not to be available to anyone, because no one should be using that one,” Ladapo said, in an apparent reference to the COVID-19 shots.

Pitch: “I won’t let you get scouted, every coach on my staff is an NFL has-been, my girlfriend (who could be your sister) is only slightly less powerful than the AD, and we’re having this conversation by phone because I don’t care enough to recruit. Oh and my failson is coach in waiting.”

As one of many Jets fans who have wanted him for our last several HC openings I must concede that I was wishing a vile curse on a good person who’s fine where he is.

It’s not unusual for local cops to be essentially on security duty. It is unusual for FHP.

Worth noting that FHP’s typical mandate is responding to highway crashes. Even relative to local police this is a big departure and presumably at expense to public safety.

Drowning prevention program comes to a halt at the CDC A few years in, a CDC drowning prevention program was ready to share its findings on how to mitigate the leading cause of death among young children. Then the administration terminated that staff.

Good enough has been keeping me up at night. Because good enough would likely mean that not enough people recognize what’s really being built—and what’s being sacrificed—until it’s too late. What if the real doomer scenario is that we pollute the internet and the planet, reorient our economy and leverage ourselves, outsource big chunks of our minds, realign our geopolitics and culture, and fight endlessly over a technology that never comes close to delivering on its grandest promises? What if we spend so much time waiting and arguing that we fail to marshal our energy toward addressing the problems that exist here and now? That would be a tragedy—the product of a mass delusion. What scares me the most about this scenario is that it’s the only one that doesn’t sound all that insane.

all of this is basically a trojan horse for my sinking feeling right now that generative AI will be 'good enough' and that's...potentially a very bad outcome!
