The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:
“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

I had a couple of interviews today with potential Beat/KCB contributors. Both women. Both mentioned that they have had problems with stalkers. It's been a constant thing I've heard during this process.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

There are complicated, structural reasons for the recent surge in electric prices (maybe a future thread on that) and beware of simple narratives. But prioritizing the most expensive generation is, quite literally, the dumbest possible solution.

I don’t know if I’ve ever read anything quite like Attaboy, but I sure dug it lots. Comics came do so much in so many ways and it’s always so exciting to see someone find a new approach or application to the medium.

This is a funny idea but I will say that people who dislike Maxwell’s Silver Hammer (but like other similarly whimsical Paul jams) have been too easily swayed by George’s casual homophobia. “That’s a fruity song” and…just like that, you’re convinced? Come on.
i love the beatles. but they have some bad songs.
if you were making a malicious beatles playlist designed to turn someone away from the band, what would be on it?
mine opens with Rev 9 because we aren't fucking around.

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.
