If stuff wasn’t already closing tomorrow, it’s closing now because it’s too cold. Look at nature, forcing everyone to participate

It has not been lost on me that the two preeminent contemporary uses of LLMs is the infinite generation of 1) CSAM and 2) media that serves no purpose other to publicly denigrate, humiliate, and dominate women and minorities.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

a quick comic about jesus

a comic titled “what would it be like if Jesus came back today?” The first panel shows Jesus standing on a bombed-out street. Several drones are flying into the distance. Jesu says, “do unto others as you would have them d” the text is partially obscured by an american bomb. the remaining panels are blank.

a comic titled “what would it be like if Jesus came back today?” The text “— and he was born American” is added in red. In the first panel, Jesus with a hamburger is standing on a city street. He says, “do unto others as you would have them do unt-“ he is cut off as four operatives with guns and mismatched tactical gear tackle him. One tells, “DOWN ON THe GROUND ASSHOLE!!!” A drone circled overhead and an unmarked van pulls up. “STOP RESISTING” one of the masked men yells at Jesu who is already on the ground with his hands behind his back. More men, drones, and vans arrive. Finally, the scene is mostly obscured by vans and masked men jumping out of them. From back where Jesu was being held, multiple gunshots ring out.

a comic titled “what would it be like if Jesus came back today?” The text “— and he was born AS A WHITE American” is added in red. Jesu stands on the city street with a burger. “Do unto— uh—“ he says. He sits on the burb and eats th burger hurriedly. “Shit, need to finish this before my next shift.” he also has a cigarette and is distracted looking at an assortment of things on his phone. He gets up and heads inside the building. “I shouldn’t have bought that burger now how am I going to pay rent”

a comic titled “what would it be like if Jesus came back today?” The text “— and he was born as a RICH white American” has been added in red. Jesus, shaved and in a suit but still with a burger, stands by the window inside of a skyscraper. “do…” he says, “…you ever feel like you’ve changed so much about yourself in pursuit of wealth that you’ve lost what makes ‘you’ you?” He sighs and looks out the window while eating the burger. From behind him, someone says, “Mr. Christ your private helicopter to rich pedophile island has arrived.” “Ok,” says Jesus. He is gone in the final panel and a helicopter is flying away in the background. He appears to have smeared the remains of his burger on the window before leaving.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

The Gravamen of the Disclosure

4. The gravamen of the disclosure is as follows:
a. By memorandum dated May 12, 2025 (“the May 12 Memo”), Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter into certain people’s homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

b. Specifically, in the May 12 Memo, the Acting ICE Director authorized ICE Agents to rely on Form I-205 (which is not a judicial warrant) to enter the residence of an alien subject to a final order of deportation, without consent, including by “a necessary and reasonable amount of force.”2c. While addressed to “All ICE Personnel,” in practice the May 12 Memo has not been formally distributed to all personnel. Instead, the May 12 Memo has been provided to select DHS officials who are then directed to verbally brief the new policy for action. Those supervisors then show the Memo to some employees, like our clients, and direct them to read the Memo and return it to the supervisor.
