Circe of Denver

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte.

ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018.

We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

Collateral Damage From the Epstein Files: Larry Summers - The American Prospect It’s long past time to jettison Summers as hopelessly contaminated. But there are far more serious reasons to dump Summers than his gross connections with Jeffrey Epstein.

Larry Summer’s regular emails to the notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein show that the former Treasury secretary cultivated a long-standing personal relationship with Epstein, even after Epstein’s sordid history was made public. From Robert Kuttner:

trib.al/qWnTY0H

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

If you observe anything in Charlotte today

This isnt "back end optimization", this isnt "helping artists do their jobs", this is replacing talent with actual slop. This is why i think more individuals AND news outlets need to talk about the problems of genAI. They think they can feed players slop and some of'em let them.

Why is Mainstream Media Ignoring Overtly Racist Attacks on Mamdani from Congressional Republicans? Non-stop Islamopbohic vitriol, threats of deportation, and virtually no coverage from CNN, NBC, CBS, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal or The Washington Post.

Congressional republicans have been spewing racist attacks on Mamdani for weeks and it’s almost never mentioned in our media. Not only that, the person leading the hate campaign—Randy Fine—is treated by the same media as a good faith expert on antisemitism. I wrote about this obscene double standard

If a severe polar storm hits the Gaza Strip, thousands of tents will flood, thousands of people will be left without a warm shelter, and the humanitarian crisis will turn into an open catastrophe that demands an urgent and unconditional response.

Steve Bannon advised Jeffrey Epstein for years on how to rehab his reputation, texts show Pair devised responses to public outrage about Epstein’s criminal history, his treatment by the justice system, and his friendships with powerful people

HAHAHAHA! #4.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

This shit is why, firstly, I tell people *not* to get autism diagnoses, and secondly why I was and remain opposed to the "assisted dying" laws being brought in. Medics will literally just kill disabled people.

This is awful and also part of a larger pattern where we have completely normalized the fact that harassing and threatening people online is a thing a lot of people do

Can we as a society talk about addressing that???

Some BETTER LETTERER for you. And before the inevitable "that's not how I do it" replies, keep in mind that, by and large, this is how it's done in pro American comics (Marvel, DC, etc.) I've worked for all of them. More tips: blambot.com/pages/letter...

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

My most woke comics opinion is that you don’t need to be “good” at drawing in any capacity to make them, as long as the reader understands what they’re seeing the way you *want* them to understand it, then you are successfully cartooning

Latino US citizens racially profiled by federal immigration agents in Chicago: ‘I felt like a piece of trash’ The Tribune spoke to U.S. citizens and green card holders who have either been questioned or detained during Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz.

For two months, the U.S. government has been racial profiling as masked federal agents hunted for immigrants throughout Chicago. They’ve repeatedly snatched up U.S. citizens while traumatizing communities. “I felt like a piece of trash.” Here is our story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

Stop KOSA KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

16 out of 614.

They arrested ~16 people with criminal records.

They terrorized thousands,
brutalized protesters,
destroyed families,
cratered businesses,
tear-gassed a Halloween parade,
traumatized kids in a day care,
killed a man,
& pepper sprayed a baby…

for 16 people with criminal records.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:
