I've struggled with the concept of "news speak" for a while, but it's been starting to make more sense.

What you gotta understand about the lawsuit attack was that it was only a sophisticated master plan in the sense that a squirrel has a sophisticated master plan to get into the bird feeder

Peter Thiel turning out to be this stupid honestly messes with my idea of him as the eminence grise behind the Gawker lawsuit, maybe Hogan pitched him on it and kept having to explain like “a lawsuit is like when they blew up the Death Star brother”

Electric is shut off. I can’t cook, do laundry not charge my phone inside (I’ve been charging it in my car). We don’t have much food except things to make PB and Js and oranges. Can’t even use heat because it’s off so 🙃 really feel hopeless right now and embarrassed so any help would really be great

Screenshot of text that says: I'm a single disabled mom of four. I have uterine fibroids that causes excessive bleeding and fatigue, POTs and PTSD from Covid turning into long covid and causing my health problems. I was working two jobs prior to not working until it caught up to me and I ended up in the ER with a heart rate that wouldn't slow down until I had to take medication. I have been trying to get on disability since. A year later I started to caretake for my disabled child by myself as well. I had help previously but it wasn't working out and l've had to do a lot of it on my own, now I'm stuck in a situation where working isn't possible for my health and while I'm already caretaking for my disabled child that needs constant care. I did not ever envision this happening to me and have always worked hard to take care of my family but now I'm in what feels like an impossible situation trying my best to take care of my kids and myself so I can stay around for them as long as possible. Im not enjoying coming online asking for help but I have no where else to turn. I'm doing

Screenshot of text that says: have no where else to turn. I'm doing everything I can to get help but it's not enough to survive off of. I'm sadly the only responsible parent and have limited family that all live too far to help. I live in California which is a bit expensive but with the state of America right now I'm trying to stay where my trans child and disabled child are the safest. Any help is appreciated and keeps my kids and I surviving while waiting on disability or other options I'm pursuing to happen. I don't know what the future holds but as a mother I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together, healthy and happy. Even if it means coming online and begging for that help. Thank you if you read.
Please boost if you're able. The chances someone who can help sees my post greatly increases with more eyes. Lots of love

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

I was trying to put my finger on what bothered me about this portrayal and I think it’s that it just takes the guy’s words at face value, like he was a nice guy and reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death just pushed him over the edge www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...

The problem with this discourse is that it reveals something that nobody with a stake in their own academic or professional discipline wants to own up to, which is there is no particular educational paradigm that automatically makes you a good person

Anyone who claims that Silicon Valley would be better with more humanities education has to grapple with the fact that Peter Thiel was a philosophy major.
