Humanity is on a downward spiral. 8 years ago he already ran on an anti-immigrant platform and people voted for it, but when images of people in cages and separated families started making the rounds, there was a backlash. (1/2)

That reminds me of the visitor counters on websites from the 1990s that were often just numbers that just randomly slowly ticked up over time.

Now that Duolingo is a bit questionable, has anyone tried brilliant.org? It's set up very similarly but for learning various skills, like math. I'm two days into it and it's really cool so far.

The reason the Trump administration has so many incompetent opportunists who make bad choices is because the only criterion for getting any of these jobs is that you've shown loyalty to Donald Trump—and that's a huge sign that you are an incompetent person who makes bad choices.

Severance season 2 had a lot going for it, but Tramell Tillman
was the absolute highlight for me. There was a lot of depth to his character and he played it perfectly. I'm really hoping we're going to see him in more movies and shows soon.

When I got my dual citizenship in 2017, I had to provide evidence to my native country for why I needed the US citizenship. I listed the dangers of a Trump presidency as a reason, and my petition was granted. Seeing news like this is scary beyond words, it's worse than what I had feared back then.
Trump admin moves to deport a legal immigrant on a valid visa. Judge orders them not to. Trump does it anyway.
So what’s the remedy here?

City crews have begun painting over the 'Black Lives Matter' street mural in D.C.
In June 2020, the phrase "Black Lives Matter" had been painted on the pavement by the city in uppercase, yellow letters, covering two blocks on 16th Street, about a quarter mile from the White House.
