This is not specific to ICE JSYK. When my mother was evicted from our old family home, they helped themselves to our things too. And I hear of people who, when they are taken into police custody, have their personal possessions (ordinary, non-problematic items) lifted from them out of greed.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

I have 3 axioms that help me decide when to talk to people I disagree with:
1. To debate a subject is to concede that the subject is debatable.
2. To reason with a person is to concede that the person is reasonable.
3. To ask for evidence of a claim is to concede that the claim might be true.

Everyone calm down, it was just a dinner. It's not like Brooks wrote an entire column saying Epstein's crimes weren't a big deal and his critics are hysterical while failing to divulge his attendance!
The NYT imperiously declined to provide details, just declaring their op-ed columnists must of course attend dinners with "noted and important business leaders". But it's not hard to find. The Silicon Valley pantheon was there: Musk, Bezos, Brin, Mayer, Wojcicki, Mundie & Myhrvold of Microsoft... 3/

Interesting how as the racial demographics of who died of ODs shifted to white people it went from "Darwin awards" and "Just say no" to "We need to murder every single person even approaching the united states that we suspect of having drugs".
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

My dumb take is that Trump envies Mamdani. Trump hates being president. He loves the corrupt money. He loves the power. He loves the immunity. He loves people kissing his ass 24/7.
But if it's between president and mayor of New York, he'd much, much rather be mayor of that city.
