Between the bowls, a.i., and the current state of things, the word of the year is going to be slop.

Screenshot of sophiafornc from Threads: This is eleven year-old Genesis and six year-old Denis, two Durham elementary school students whose families came here to seek asylum. On Monday, they were detained by ICE and immediately sent back to Honduras without due process. Don't you dare tell me that this is making our country safer.
I am so angry. Two Durham, NC kids - 11-year-old Genesis and 6-year-old Denis of Burton Elementary Magnet School - were taken by ICE at their regular asylum case appointment, and immediately deported without due process.

Florsheim shoes, Papal schism, Trump praising Allah. None of this on my bingo card.
Consensus that the president is a pedophile, popular suspicion that he's trying to prevent the midterm election, grocery bills going through the roof, AND we've started a terrorist war bombing schools of innocent children and sent the world economy into chaos. Sans "exceptionalism," where's it lead?
I've interviewed more than a dozen hydrologists and climatologists across the West the past 10 days.
A sense of panic is starting to set in. Wildfires and water shortages will start mounting this summer. Adverse impacts are expected from not only this heat wave, but the historically warm winter.
Allow me to introduce my new line of Florsheim's Invisible Shoes

Several morons at an anti-wealth tax event hold signs, one of which reads "First They Came for the Millionaires..."

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
I was just listening to a CNN "segment" on the possibility of the United States invading and occupying Cuba and I'm fairly certain that the "C" in CNN stands for "Colonial."
Keir Starmer is London Breed 2026.

New @sarahljaffe.bsky.social just dropped, subtle as always: inthesetimes.com/article/capi...
Just an update: I still don't want A.I. in shit. If you offer A.I. in your marketing, I am less likely to buy it. I think opt-out of A.I. scraping and functionality should be legally mandated. I'm not interested in A.I. education for myself or my kids. Turn the data centers into shelters.
Renee Nicole Good wasn't the first person killed by ICE. In 2025, 32 people died in ICE custody. In 2026, at least 2 people were killed by ICE, starting with Keith Porter on NYE.

CBP's Francis Russo defending "Operation Salvo," talking about no interference with civilians. CBP's mission is so we can "Endure economic progress." I do not know what that means.
Noem is reminding citizens that tomorrow is Law Enforcement day, asks Americans to thanks law enforcement and "buy them lunch."
Noem's message to the city and the country is that "Operation Salvo" is just the beginning. Mentions NYC, Chicago, and Minneapolis. "In every single thing the Trump Administration does, we put the American people first," says Noem, ignoring yesterday's murder of an American citizen.
Noem explicitly going after "sanctuary city policies." "Operation Salvo" was launched in nyc with cbp, hsi, ero, and the southern district. 54 arrested so far.
Noem Press Conference about to begin. Placard on lectern says "one of ours / all of yours."
I know this is a well-tread point, but part of me always thought Alex Jones would be at Richter-5.0-tomato-red-neck-veins-popping-approaching-aneurysm levels in response to things like, oh, random armed government thugs murdering white moms and instead he's like hugging muppets.

Screengrab reading: "We want to ensure that the Western Hemisphere remains reasonably stable and well-governed enough to prevent and discourage mass migration to the United States; we want a Hemisphere whose governments cooperate with us against narco-terrorists, cartels, and other transnational criminal organizations; we want a Hemisphere that remains free of hostile foreign incursion or ownership of key assets, and that supports critical supply chains; and we want to ensure our continued access to key strategic locations. In other words, we will assert and enforce a “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine;"

Dumb question: What would happen if Venezuela stops shipping oil on tankers and pipelines/trucks/trains oil to Colombia, Brazil, and Guyana?
In the last few years, Israel (with American backing) attacked Palestine (Gaza and the West Bank), Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Qatar, and a crossing run by Egypt. We should understand that Rubio and Trump may not stop at Venezuela and have designs on Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia, et al.
