can’t reform that
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Age verification? Earlier this year I threw my back out getting out of bed one morning.
Age verification? I grew up in the USSR
Age verification? I remember before there were search engines for the internet.

I’ve made a lot of jokes about the J.D. Vance sparkling water story from Hillbilly Elegy, to the extent that it probably sounds made up, but you owe it to yourself to read the real thing if you haven’t

The billionaire class wants to decimate the white collar workforce. Because white collar workers are expensive. And because white collar workers—who historically sided with billionaires—are questioning that alliance. Which makes their knowledge and resources a huge threat to billionaire power.

Just out of college, working a second job at a phone survey call center. Client was BMW, doing satisfaction surveys on dealership services like oil changes. Phone connects, script pops up on my screen:
“Hello, may I please speak with Dylan McDermott?”
If I remember, he rated the dealership highly.
One of my academic colleagues looks a bit like Bob Mortimer. One time near our labs I saw him walking towards me and I warmly said Hey Kevin. It was Bob Mortimer.

Please share your very low impact celebrity encounters here.
Fun low level anecdote: I once sat near Peter Mandelson in a theatre but I had a name blank and said rather too loudly ‘ooh look it’s Michael Portillo!’

He was visibly unamused.

"Barack Obama sat in the church where Reverent Jeremiah Wright preached, and because Wright had occasionally said some controversial things, it almost undid Obama's candidacy in 2008. Republicans (and some Democrats) lost their minds over the association." rudepundit.blogspot.com/2026/02/why-...

Hey #Milwaukee folk: My band, the Cannibal Sand Witches, plays at 11:20 on Sat Feb 14 at Linneman’s in Riverwest. We’re the 14th of 16 bands to play that weekend, and I suspect that our closer, “Fuck ICE,” will be at least the 14th “Fuck ICE” song of the weekend.

The single greatest failure of modern human engineering is the inability of any major vacuum manufacturer to create on-vac storage for the crevice tool that does not simply drop the tool with the slightest movement of the vacuum.
