The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

I would have logged something like 500 hours on this and bought every DLC.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

I’d like to believe some Democrat somewhere has this clipped and saved in a folder labeled “Removal For Cause” in anticipation of a future SCOTUS purge, but regrettably I know better than to expect anyone left of center to actually exercise power in the fleeting moments they’re allowed to have it.

Obviously they won’t because those Cups, like all Cups, rightfully belong to the Canes, but:

if Edmonton can’t get it done while only paying McJesus $12.5, they’re in legitimate “sell the team/relocate to Quebec City” territory.

It's official: Connor McDavid is extending with the Edmonton Oilers for two years, at a $12.5M AAV.

Absolute captain shit.

Imagine saying something so obviously out of pocket that Wes McCauley knows you’ve *got* to go to the box for it even though he doesn’t speak Finnish. #RaiseUp

Did they really think he was going to the NHL this year? Not to dismiss his future upside, but it seemed obvious watching his NHL appearances last year he still needs a bit more time to cook.

I say things about, say, certain makes of car, that would be insanely problematic if they were instead about groups of people.

But no sane person would call me a bigot for that, because—and this is so crucial to understand—cars aren’t people.

The “but that’s illegal” crowd is going to find out soon what those of us on the academic and research side have been saying for months is true in that you cannot “legally” fight a legal fascist framework when countering fascism is seen as terrorism and illegal

Our best weapon in the fight against corporations using AI to dehumanize everything may be the fact that its biggest proponents are just *incredibly* fucking weird.

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human
Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI.
