Israel is now saying the ceasefire will take effect "within 24 hours" as opposed to 10am today as initially planned. So yeah, just announced a delay for no reason and started shooting people trying to go home who thought there was a ceasefire in effect. www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-n...

one that I've noticed is that the A'ja Wilson experience is so much more fun because WNBA fans/media don't prop up current greats by tearing down the past. we're not doing Maya Moore vs. A'ja Wilson on First Take every morning. as a longtime NBA fan, that's refreshing

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The only AI debt I will ever support

Allen Iverson image stating:

Allen Iverson denies a claim made by a former teammate that he occasionally spent $40,000 at a strip club when he was a 76er. "First of all it was like $9,000 at most and there were never any strippers at the TGI Friday's on City Line," says Iverson. "Unless I brought them. Sometimes I brought a bunch. And I supposed in those cases, yes, the bill could get up to 40K because they didn't have the End- less Appetizers thing back then."

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.

Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

Van Jones sucks so bad, this time floating this risible conspiracy theory that the endless images of dead Palestinian children are a TikTok psyop by Iran and Qatar to brainwash American youth. Just complete fucking gibberish. Embarrassing and desperate.

As Israel continues the genocidal onslaught, Van Jones just blamed Iran/Qatar “disinformation” for why the world has turned on Israel — and ignores Bibi’s recent admission they plan to take over and weaponize TikTok themselves.
