More than 70 Minnesota children detained during Operation Metro Surge

More than 70 Minnesota children detained during Operation Metro Surge

ICE detained over 70 of Minnesota’s children - ripping them out of school, forcing them into inhumane detention centers, and traumatizing them forever.

We need to bring all our babies home.

Then, the federal government must repair and restore all the harm they’ve done.

Very funny watching the nhl, a pretty shitty homophobic organization, realize that gay people have money.

I’ll never get over the Biden administration sending kids back to school during the pandemic for no reason other than property management groups were worried about empty office buildings & employers were miserable about how happy their employees were suddenly.

Everyone here is overly familiar with the Nazi bar analogy. If 8 people at the bar are "doing fine" and 2 people are destitute and suffering then you live in a society of destitution and suffering.

NG: Whereas Pong was basically for everybody?

Nolan: Pong had an interesting characteristic. Since it was two players for a quarter, and there wasn't a one-player version, it was in fact a social lubricant in many instances. It was very common to have a girl with a quarter in hand pull a guy off a bar stool and say, 'I'd like to play Pong and there's nobody to play.' It was a way you could play games, you were sitting shoulder to shoulder, you could talk, you could laugh, you could challenge each other — that sort of thing.

NG: You also had one hand free to hold your beer or whatever.

Nolan: As you became better friends, you could put down your beer and hug. You could put your arm around the person. You could play left-handed if you so desired. In fact, there are a lot of people who have come up to me over the years and said, "I met my wife playing Pong," and that's kind of a nice thing to have achieved.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Considering how quickly phones and other modern digital devices become so godawful slow to do even basic tasks, the fact that I can turn on my 20ish year old iPod and it still works great is one big reason for me. It's also refreshing to have the product's goal not to be harvesting my personal data.

At least for the JRPG devs in the 90s I could forgive poor data practices when nearly every game has a hidden room where they can confess that they miss sleeping, their families, feeling joy, etc due to releasing all-timers every year or so.

JD: "I'm fully embracing Catholicism, no really guys, I'm so good at it, look I even wrote a book about it."

Also JD: "Shut the fuck up about love and compassion and not blowing up hundreds of children, Pope, you don't know what you're talking about. I'm the moral authority now."

Optional Step 5: If you're feeling bold you can ask the Pope to speak to his manager, although some readers have reported being hunted by biblically-accurate angels after a very short and unfulfilling talk about how the Holy Trinity works.

Step 1: Go to any confessions booth.
Step 2: Ask for their manager. Be polite yet firm.
Step 3: Repeat all the way up the chain.
Step 4: Eventually, with enough patience, you can get His Holiness on the line! He's busy, but if you call JD Vance a punk bitch you can usually get a few extra minutes.

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

Diary comic. Purple ink in sketchbook.

PANEL 1
A kid holds up a drawing of a round fish-looking shark with a little police hat. 

Kid: I made this character. It’s a shark that’s a cop.

PANEL 2
The kid talks to Gale, who’s sitting at a signing table.

Kid:I’ve drawn a bunch of stories about it. Shark Cop. It fights with its teeth and electricity.
Gale: oh!!

PANEL 3
Gale leans in.
Gale: you must love drawing.
Kid: yeah!!

PANEL 4
The kid looks down at his Apple Watch.
Kid: oh also I told my dad about Shark Cop and he got AI to make a picture.

PANEL 5
Close on the watch, which is showing an image of a very rendered muscly anthropomorphic shark (as attempted by me).

Kid: here it is!

PA 6
Gale looks at the watch.

PANEL 7
Gale looks at the kid, who brightens.
Gale: you know, I like yours way better.
