The first thing ICE did when it was created was raiding meat processing plants in the Midwest and south to help quell labor disputes over safety violations and keep those who weren't detained from getting legal protections as many had kids who grew up locally and were citizens with political power.

man if only we could get back to the Good FBI as it existed before Trump.
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

NEW: For the last seven weeks, Naughty Dog has enacted mandatory overtime for staff to finish an internal demo of their next game, Intergalactic. The game won't be out until 2027, leaving some staff wondering: If they're crunching now, what will next year be like? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

If you don't want to play or watch or read something, that's cool and good and fine. There's plenty of stuff I don't want to watch or read or play and I don't even have to bother coming up with a good reason or explaining it to anyone.

One reason Disney is OK with allowing OpenAI to torpedo their brands after decades of cracking down on childrens hospitals for painting comforting characters on the walls or a dad who wanted his son's favorite character Spider-Man etched onto his grave is that grieving families don't have $1 billion

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.
