Dropping money for buying from the international official store cuz it's still cheaper and easier even with tariffs than dealing with Hot Topic's customer service about giving me an in stock item. Kids want their Murder Drones and Digital Circus stuff...

It's so lovely seeing everyone so happy for a change!

Went to vote. They didn't even have the whole school gym open, only the lobby. It's like they don't think people are gonna come which is very sad...

She tried to make herself less sad by making a display of the others standing over the broken one's corpse (it's a bad guy) so that's a morbid but also clever thing, haha...

Daughter bought a bunch of Murder Drones blind box figures and was super happy, but dropped one and its head fell off. Thankfully she had gotten a duplicate, but you'd think $20 figures would be a little less flimsy.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ BREAKING: Per four senior DHS & Trump admin sources, a mass removal of ICE leadership around the country is underway, with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed & reassigned in an effort to increase deportation numbers. I'm told the move is spearheaded by Corey Lewandowski, and a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino. I'm told some of the ICE leadership removed from their positions include the ICE Field Office Directors in: - Los Angeles - Phoenix - Philadelphia - Denver - El Paso - San Diego - Seattle/Portland - New Orleans Border Patrol officials taking over ICE leadership positions would be extremely significant, as Border Patrol and ICE do different things, and I've done numerous ride-alongs/embeds with both.

Generally speaking, ICE typically conducts very targeted operations, largely going after criminal illegal aliens or those with deportation orders, but almost always knowing who they are targeting for arrest, often conducting surveillance to learn their schedules before and waiting hours before arresting them if needed. Border Patrol, under Trump 2.0, while sometimes doing their own targeted operations, has been extremely aggressive and has been at the forefront of some of the most controversial immigration enforcement operations we've seen so far, carrying out roving patrols in Los Angeles, Chicago, etc, often at Home Depot, car washes, flea markets etc, leading to a handful of federal judges around the country issuing injunctions against them. A majority of the viral videos you see online are Border Patrol agents, including the use of a Trojan horse style Penske moving truck at a Los Angeles Home Depot, an operation organized by Bovino. ICE often gets blamed for what Border Patrol does, as the media and activists often cannot tell the difference between federal agents, and everyone is called "ICE". I'm told there are growing concerns about the political and PR fallout associated with some of the roving patrols Border Patrol is conducting as lawsuits continue to stack up and mid-terms approach next year.

I'm told there is significant friction within different wings of DHS and the administration, with Border Czar Tom Homan & ICE Director Todd Lyons preferring to prioritize targeting criminal aliens & the "worst of the worst" or those with deportation orders, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and BP Commander Bovino prefer to use aggressive tactics to arrest anyone in the US illegally, including but not limited to criminals, to ramp up deportation numbers and achieve President Trump's promises of mass deportations. I am hearing from both sides of this friction. One senior DHS official tells me: "ICE started with the worst of the worst, knowing every target they are hitting, but since Border Patrol started in LA in June, we've (DHS) lost our focus, going too hard, too fast, with limited prioritization. It's getting numbers, but at what cost?". Border Patrol agents I've talked to defend their tactics, with one telling me: "What did everyone think mass deportations meant? Only the worst? Tom Homan has said it himself, anyone in the US illegally is on the table."

It's quite a situation, as both sides of this are on the same team, with the same end goals, but different perspectives on how to get there. Another DHS official confirmed the personnel changes to me on deep background, adding that the moves are based on performance and doing what is needed to achieve the best results. Official statement to @FoxNews via @TriciaOhio : "While we have no personnel changes to announce at this time, the Trump Administration remains laser focused on delivering results and removing violent criminal illegal aliens from this country." 7:57 PM · Oct 27, 2025 · 29.6K Views

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Made daughter's cookie cake for her birthday party tomorrow. She wanted to decorate it herself, so now she understands how difficult it is to draw characters with icing. But she made it her own, and that's really cool. My teenager...

Cleaning the house is always fun because I sneeze for the rest of the day after dealing with so much dust. There is too much dust... Even after one day it is back. Begone, dust.

Did the covid/flu vaccine thing today for another year in a row since it started, but first time I nearly passed out from it. Don't go in there hungry, folks... Scared my daughter a lot though so sorry. :(

"It can only good happen" has become such an ironic phrase in this household. I guess thank you for this one funny thing in all the stupidness?

Staring at my new pretty shelf and seeing empty rows, thinking I can fix that real quick... Wonder how much contraband I'm about to have when they ban books or something though.

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Read Perfect Buddy and then Payback back-to-back and now everything feels lackluster. Kinda hate reading the next story after something good since, even if the other thing is good, too, it just can't match the other thing.

My new shelf needs to arrive because I feel like my desk is exploding with extra books suddenly. I've been deep in the reading lately as well to avoid real life and it sure shows. But daughter's birthday is this month, so gotta clean up for a party...

It amazes me how hard it is to search for what you actually want now because search engines are trained to "guess" what you want instead. No matter how specific you are, it thinks it knows better.

I started watching some of the late night comedies more often now after the issue, so it's ironic how the idiots had the opposite effect. I had only intended to watch the comeback, but my children loved it so it's just something to watch while we have late night snacks now!

Guess I must admit that I was wrong and it was time for the game to end. However, I do appreciate they are apparently not turning off the servers and just rerunning content on a loop. That's neat and actually not as upsetting.

Acetaminophen is easy to pronounce. ​The ending is like "minnow fin" 🐟 ​And "aceta-" sounds like "Ah see da" as in "Ah see da Epstein files still haven't been released."

Nothing but net

My daughter told me she's been getting ads telling her to join ICE on youtube. Her account is set up as a child account. They are really trying to indoctrinate super early. (And yes I will be swapping her browser so it doesn't keep happening.)

I've had a pretty rough few days, and insomnia has only really gotten worse on top of the migraines that both cause it and are caused by it. So it's just upsetting that a fun thing is being taken away by negativity. Trying to read to distract my brain but my eyes hurt. I cannot win, haha...

So of course the game updated when it was supposed to, and rather than being happy they announced an event, apparently announcing an event *at the regular time* means the game is ending, too. I can never understand people I guess.

Man my least favorite thing in communities is when people start screaming the dreaded 3 letter word of doomposting because a game hasn't given a news post for like a day, so of course it's dying. Even more fun when people who quit come back to brag like they are some prophets or whatever.

WTAF?

Here's to you, dead spider I found in the shower. I am making a post to properly honor your death so your brethren won't come at me later. I hope I'm doing this correctly.

The anti-fascist character used by American troops in WW2 called Kilroy appears on a wooden post.

The anti-fascist character used by American troops in WW2 called Kilroy appears on a trailer.

During the European campaign of WW2, American troops would leave this character to let the NAZIs know that they were everywhere.
Kilroy is beginning to pop up in public spaces. He is the call for & promise of liberation. He is hope. He is everywhere.
Kilroy was here.

"Antifa" is not, never was, and never will be an organization. It's a cause. Declaring "antifa" to be terrorism is making the viewpoint of being against fascism illegal. That includes anyone and everyone who opposes this administration.

Things are about to get very very bad.

Oh neat, heard back from Animate and they are going to refund me the surcharge since it was a mistake in the labels (I ordered before the de minimis change). Yay, I will praise them again rather than being upset! Still think $40 on a $100 package is a little crazy though DHL, I do blame you.
