Bipartisan is a good thing when we’re talking about something like an infrastructure bill. But more funding for ICE abuse with our tax dollars shouldn’t have a single Democrat’s name on it.

THIS IS WHAT PLAYING “BOTH SIDES” LOOKS LIKE.

Frank Figluizzi slams Trump regime for putting the DHS agents who murdered Alex Pretti right back on the streets instead of administrative leave. The lack of consequences for killing Americans by ICE and CBP will lead to them killing more Americans.

For a year they’ve been saying that we are paid. For a year they’ve said they are investigating it to prove it. They still have never produced any evidence of that but continue to go on TV every day with zero evidence and insist with great confidence that we’re paid. bsky.app/profile/deco...
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) The anti-ICE protesters are paid, people in Minnesota are really happy ICE is there. The protesters are liberal media, Nazis, anarchists, communists, people who hate the flag, God, veterans, capitalism and democracy! Woke-a-topia!

Solo diners and museumgoers write reviews rated as more helpful than those from people visiting with others.

Observers perceive solo visitors as more genuinely interested in the experience, making them influential customers that businesses should pay attention to. buff.ly/Vn5Uoyu
Doing things alone is on the rise, and businesses should pay more attention to that – even on Valentine’s Day
With solo living on the rise, more consumers are dining, traveling and spending on their own. Yet most brands still design their offerings year-round for couples.

Commentary: There's one state in America with no voter registration. How does that work?
North Dakota eliminated voter registration more than 70 years ago, to encourage turnout. The state isn't particularly stellar when it comes to election participation. But it's no hotbed of fraud.

A phrase for why so much AI art looks the same: cultural stagnation.

Creativity gets flattened into polished sameness when machines optimize for what’s familiar.

AI-induced cultural stagnation is no longer speculation − it’s already happening
AI-mediated culture is already being filtered in ways that favor the familiar, the describable and the conventional.
