ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

Meanwhile on that slender riotous island ...

An Adelphi University student was accused of using AI to plagiarize an essay. Now he's suing the school.

The student called the accusation "completely false" and said the essay's writing style was influenced by his learning and neurological disabilities and the tutoring he receives for them.

A fair number of problems seem downstream from the fact that the best way to be a human is to grow, change, and evolve but the best way to be successful online is to never change and always double, triple, and quadruple down every time you are wrong.

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Tron is not a great movie, but where is was good was in asking "What if we used emerging technology to design a strong vision of something fresh and unique." And as usual, what the suits (now decades removed) took from that is: What if we made more Trons?

Imagine not having access to that anymore as a kid or teenager. Just endless, endless IP sludge. Nothing can exist if it’s not making an IP holder rich. Pathetic.

Some of the happiest moments of my life were looking at magic the gathering cards in the flea market parking lot and daydreaming about the world behind the artwork.

I find it funny that I capped out around the same followers on Twitter as well. My style of posting only goes so far, I guess.

I should be commended for not using the Typebar account to repost my bangers!

the donut place I used to go to for every party (I'd get 2-dozen donuts and they'd always be a huge hit) burned down yesterday. They'd been around since 1977. I used to work down the street from them in college. Everything is so temporary.

Not that you'd need a specific tie. Auto dealers are some of biggest and most aggressive donors in many state and local races, which is why the franchise laws in so many places are so tough.

FWIW: One of the US Senators who pushed GM and Ford to abandon this push used to own a string of auto dealership. Auto dealers *hate* electric cars because they need far less maintenance. Maintenance is a major profit center for them.

So much for Ford and GM’s scheme to extend the EV tax credit

They were hoping to soften the blow.
