BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

This summer, the Amtrak Police Department ran a plainclothes sting operation in New York’s Penn Station bathroom, cruising to coax the queers out of the woodwork. Many of the men arrested were handed over to ICE custody.
Cruising for Normal | Eric Dean Wilson
“Plainclothes” reinforces many of the tired and moralizing claims about cruising that queer artists and activists have worked hard to counter.

On my walk yesterday I was surprised to see this creature on a tree. Never seen such a thing before. Turns out it's called a red triangle slug. Obvious name I guess. I still get excited by every new creature I spot on my walks.

Stupid drug policy leads to stupid foreign policy. It keeps happening. Fentanyl isn't a weapon. It is not a poisoning risk to anyone except those who deliberately ingest fentanyl or drugs laced with fentanyl. It does not come from Venezuela.

So rather than let people use their government to negotiate for them and take advantage of not just the size of their consumer base but also the implicit military and legal might it possesses, we should instead be forced to pay a middle man a rentier fee to do the same job but worse?

I feel for the other children of the Reiners.
They've lost their parents and their brother in a terrible way.
I'm not sure how you can even process that.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Bird murmurations are complex collective behaviors.
Each bird coordinates its movement based solely on the actions of its approximately 7 closest neighbours.
The flock maintains a delicate balance between order and chaos. If it becomes too rigid or too chaotic, the formation breaks apart.
