Went to the “white” high school in South Texas. Therefore have zero surprise at the Hispanic last names of many ICE agents (and Border Patrol in general). Don’t even have to get into the Tejano divide.

I would be very surprised if a full accounting in the future didn't reveal more than one mass grave at the detention centers. If they're behaving this way in public, what's happening out of sight must be many times more brutal.
Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

My first Big Fish of 7.4!
Finished Arcadion this morning (enjoyed almost all of it. Not 100% but still one of the best plots and experiences ingame)
7.4 MSQ just finished. Mixed bag. The meat of the patch? Enjoyed immensely. Dungeon, Trial, Town, New cast**
How it started? No. The specifically 8.0 setup? Disliked greatly.

First rule about growing up in a Navy house, especially if both parents not only worked at the Naval Academy but connected to sports, is to be incredibly petty towards the Army. Lesser extent also Air Force (esp w/ Naval Aviation dad)
So there's just a *tiny* bit more Schadenfreude at that parade

And returning after dinner to check that the window was just about to pop, I decided to go for even though I hadn't prepped and was almost out of bait - naturally that's when I catch the last fish I needed.

A DEVASTATING LOSS. What I've most enjoyed about #TheWheelOfTime is how often the power of women, in particular women of color, has been central to the action. No on-screen fantasy series comes close to #WoT in normalizing women as the greatest badasses. #WoTskies #WheelOfTime (Google Search image)
