ICE Stranded a 17-Year-Old on I-20 After Arresting His Father. The Mississippi Dad Now Faces Deportation. A 17-year-old watched as ICE arrested his immigrant father, Hector, on I-20 in June. The family faces mounting legal fees and the risk of deportation.

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

A Journey to the End of the World (of Minecraft)

In 2014 I wrote for @newyorker.com about @kurtjmac.bsky.social, a YouTuber who began walking in Minecraft and never stopped. His quest was to reach the Far Lands, a place at the limits of the algorithmic world, where the landscape breaks apart. On Saturday, after fourteen years, he arrived:

"it’s here to stay" is just gaslighting from shills. We can easily push back against AI collectively if we had the inclination.

Whiny MAGA freaks out over Super Bowl halftime show Songs in Spanish? In America?

"There's truth underneath all this fake outrage. Conservatives really are at a disadvantage in pop culture because most creative people are liberals, which has always been true & probably always will be. While MAGA has had some success building a culture machine, what it produces is mostly banal."

Hey George Clooney - where's your Op Ed about this?

All they do is fucking whine.

How do they know if they're ICE agents if they don't show ID?

Sign the Petition Close the UK Hippo Ivory Loophole

The UK banned elephant ivory but left hippos to die in their place. Poachers didn’t stop — they just switched victims. Hippo teeth are ivory. Their slaughter is just as violent.

Tell the UK Government: close the loophole. Ban hippo ivory.

Sign the Petition No (Pink) Sheep at Latitude Festival

Dyed pink and dropped into a festival for aesthetic — these sheep aren’t decorations. They’re sentient beings. Loud crowds, blaring music, and drunken revellers are they’re terrifying to them 🐑

My friend Matt Inman made a great comic about AI…

Laura has been helping us out on our next game and her work is brilliant. No brainer hire

Right? My tolerance for this level of daily bullshit is so far in the red.

So immigrants taking our jobs = bad, but AI taking our jobs = good.

Got it.

I don't understand why they don't put advertisements on The Hulk.

He's basically a giant Banner.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity - BBC News Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

"Solar ... is now so cheap that large markets for solar can emerge in a country in the space of a single year."

Another historic milestone for the energy transition, which is doing things seemingly daily that I was told quite often until quite recently were impossible www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

Pharmacist: I meant questions about your prescription.

It me.
