Bad Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

I love this.
"Local journalism often begins before a camera is rolling, before a live shot is framed, before a headline is written. It begins with proximity. With awareness. With someone deciding that what’s happening matters enough to go see it firsthand.
It begins with showing up."

I was gonna make a joke that they bought the rug at Job Lot then read that they’re covering it up with rugs they bought at Job Lot! 🤣
A brand new rug in the Rhode Island State House somehow got the seal of approval with the wrong seal.

Using the Ring camera network to find your lost dog sounds innocent, but it's a veerrrryyyy slippery slope to using it to hunt humans.

This is a nice moment, beautifully captured, that sums up the feeling that will stay with Patriots fans after the sting of their Super Bowl loss.
Most of his teammates were gone. Tears were already shed by the time Drake Maye was leaving, but the QB wasn’t alone.
He exited the locker room and walked side-by-side to the team bus with Mike Vrabel.

This is an excellent point I’ve long felt about the Tech Bros. They think their fortunes make them all-knowing super men who should rule the world. Like Raskolnikov in Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, they consider themselves extraordinary men above the law.
