also this story contains the sentence "There is no suggestion that Veronika’s skills are evidence of the evolution of an ominous new species of super-cow," surely an early front-runner for sentence of the year
people are makin cow tools jokes about this and why not, but as a longtime believer in the sentience of non-human animals and great lover of cows in particular, I hope people will check out the story in full

"Abolish ICE" is the moderate position. "Try everyone involved in ICE for crimes against humanity" is the progressive one.

I'll wait for more research to be done on this, but it wouldn't surprise me. Monster Hunter World STILL has performance issues (bypassed with a mod) because it's running redundant memory integrity tests every frame for errors that would crash the game.
If an error is detected, it crashes the game.

There's this theory that MH Wilds is constantly running DLC checks in the background to see what fancy cosmetic bits you have or not.
That's a weird reason for crap performance, but in this day and age, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out true. bsky.app/profile/theg...

The only good thing about ICE Is that future video games/movies will have new bad guy characters we can kill en masse without guilt.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.
