Whatever succeeds ICE, it needs to be focused on customs enforcement only, primarily in airports and at ports. CBP’s “warrantless authority” 100-mile border should be revoked by Congress. CBP should only be allowed to operate within 1 mile of a border, past that it’s a sheriff’s problem.

Urban fantasy world building: While they share the same central post offices, small races like dwarves, halflings and gnomes are covered by separate mail routes. This accommodates mailboxes being closer to the ground for easier access by customers - as well as carriers who use shorter vehicles.

Deep in the forest, a forgotten temple ruin overgrown by moss is the final resting place of an old god.
A stone is heaved aside, sunlight warms ancient flagstones.
An offering is placed on the altar - salt, bread, oil.
A prayer is said: "If you can help, do so. If not, persist."
It is answered.

Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

Hollow Knight! Not sure if this was a week to split games but, surprise surprise, I'm starting to feel sick again, and I am really upset about it, so we're just doing the souls-like I don't yell at instead of the cozy game I do.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, where the shadows lie, One Tim to rule them all, One Tim to find them, One Tim to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, blew up the Death Star.
And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, has a machine gun now. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Due entirely to the upload of the fifteen-year-old fanfilm and striking when the Stargate iron (naquadah?) was hot, my YouTube channel gained the last 300 subscribers it needed to be eligible for monetization. (Stargate Hades itself isn't eligible due to the music used.)

In a loose folksy way I’ve started to believe that shit falls apart approximately every 80 years because the generation that knew True Horror dies off and the young folks left don’t comprehend the stakes.
I blame the passing of the WW2 generation. Some people didn't have a grandparent who would kick their ass for talking up Nazis and it shows.
