These charges seem flimsy to me. Makes me think this is the govt attempting to justify themselves in how they unlawfully treated him. I'll reserve judgement, but this seems really really weak on its face.

2. A two-count indictment, which was filed under seal in federal court in Tennessee last month, alleges Abrego Garcia, 29, participated in a years-long conspiracy to haul undocumented migrants from Texas to the interior of the country.

Doing work, homie. 💪

While CFB is wild and it's possible the football season can be saved by some chaos, I've moved forward to basketball. Hope springs eternal, and we've got a ton a new faces. Let's go into the unknown and see what happens. 🙌🙌🙌

Mendoza? I’d have paid Mensah at Duke that money. He’d have been better than Beck. Beck’s elbow might have been surgically repaired, but you can’t fix what’s wrong between his ears.

Another wasted Canes season. Best we can hope for is 7-9 wins and a decent bowl. No playoff, no ACC title game.

This fucking sucks.

3 point lead at half for the Canes on the road…feels like we are down somehow though. Rough sledding, making things too hard on ourselves. Feels kinda like last week when we were tied at half with Stanford. Hope the 2nd half plays out similarly for us.

The fact that Roxette existed during this period makes his argument null and void.

You can't fool me. Both of these guys were in Louis Winthorpe III's friend group in Trading Places.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

Fixed - new profile pic ✅

Jackie Daytona @btketron.bsky.social · 6d

And yes, I probably need to update my profile pic to reflect the beard now. The current profile picture was from Oct23.

Jackie Daytona @btketron.bsky.social · 6d

I'm 44yo (elder millennial LFG), and until July 2024, I never attempted the fashion choice of growing a beard. Always felt like it wasn't me, or it would look bad.

Decided to try on a whim, and I've gotten tons of compliments on it.

Things like this reinforce my whim as a good decision.

Being authentic and genuine about who you are and having a good moral compass that's not based on making other people suffer, but instead lifting them up and helping them become their best selves, is what we should all strive for. All this other power hungry chest-thumping ain't it.

Jackie Daytona @btketron.bsky.social · 6d

Read this article yesterday and it's excellent so I'm reposting.

Also, my $.02, the stuff with Slotkin aside, Campbell is *authentic* on top of all of the ways he was described. He's not doing any of the things he does performatively. Genuine leadership attracts people to follow. (cont)

'Alpha Energy' Is Not What You Think It Is

Senator Elissa Slotkin says Democrats need the "goddamn alpha energy" of Dan Campbell. She's half right.

She probably thinks the term oligarch is somehow intrinsically Yiddish.

Hey, Fox: Sales of Hamburger Helper on the rise is a flashing recession indicator.

A tweet from Rep. Jason Crow reads: “Billionaires get tax breaks. Kristi Noem gets luxury jets. Trump gets a golden ballroom. You get Hamburger Helper.” It quotes a FactPost tweet summarizing a Fox News segment about the rising popularity of Hamburger Helper as consumers tighten their budgets. The image shows boxes of Hamburger Helper products and a Fox News anchor reporting on the trend.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

Penne/Farfelle are both 1a/1b *horrible* for me, but Spaghetti/Angel Hair are both terrible and overrated...sub in Fettuccine/Linguine any day of the week and the dish is immediately better.

All filled pastas *when cooked properly* are superior to non-filled ones too. Fight me.
