Necessity may be the mother of invention, but its father is laziness. Procrastination is what separates us from the animals.

I do not authorize my posts to be used for AI training unless you want your bot to be a dipshit.
There's a bemused earnestness to Aaron Moten's performance on Fallout that turns what could have been a very flat character on the page into an endlessly enjoyable character.

It's ok, you won't be missing anything.

Take care and good luck.
The fact that you asked me that question which has a very obvious answer means you don’t read me very closely

It may not be the best show out now, but Fallout is the most appropriate.
AND it's a Microsoft franchise on an Amazon service. Just perfect.

Trafficking the boy after using him as bait, pinning someone in the snow to spray into their mask, shooting Marimar Martinez, murdering Renee Good—Bovino and Miller are asserting the right to harm anyone they want. The only acceptable response is to make sure they can no longer harm anyone at all.

As batshit as it is, it's still funny to have Trump speak nonsense then watch his team insist that's exactly what he meant.

Case in point - now they are saying he also wants Iceland.

Genuinely cannot believe how many places are on this list. New ones every time I check.

American Swedish Institute and all Pizza Luce locations just joined the list. A stunning show of solidarity.

Matt Walsh just came out against GenAI "art" and now I have to reevaluate my whole stance.

No pit deep enough.
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

An attempted traffic stop by two ICE agents did not involve the man they ultimately shot in north Minneapolis.

Details from a FBI agent's sworn affidavit contradict what DHS officials initially stated — and later repeated for several days — about the highly charged encounter.

ICE abducted a 5 year old boy and put him in a Texas detention center. A 5 year old. Liam Ramos. His family was following all legal asylum parameters and were not under deportation orders.

I cannot tell you how absolutely infuriatingly this stuff comes across to Europeans.

When we say America is no longer a reliable ally, it goes considerably deeper than Donald Trump himself. This kind of complacent, condescending shit is a *huge* part of it.

One thing that strikes me in images I'm seeing from the NDP leadership race is that the events are overwhelmingly white. Extraordinarily white. Is any candidate doing anything to diversify their base?

00:26 secs, an agent who has pinned a person on the ground hands an object to another agent. That object may be yellow (like a taser). The standing agent takes the object and appears to tuck it away on his left side. Taser holsters are on the left in right-handed people.

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The FBI got access to the Washington Post's newsroom Slack and CMS.

That is an incredible amount of access to the newspaper's inner workings.
This declaration from WaPo journalist Hannah Natanson describing what the FBI took is utterly devastating.
