Connecticut Just Told Masked ICE Agents to Show Their Faces SB00397 bars masks on every officer in the state, forces feds to show badges, and opens state courts to sue them. A first in the country.

No law enforcement officer operating in Connecticut—federal, state, or local—can wear a mask on duty. ICE and CBP agents have to show their faces and badges. And when an officer assaults someone recording them, commits false imprisonment, false arrest, or malicious prosecution, they lose immunity.

French polymath Clémence Royer was born 196 years ago today. Now she is most known for her 1862 translation of On the Origin of Species which pushed Darwin's ideas into the realm of human evolution, but in her day she was celebrated for her encyclopedic knowledge.

It’s always striking to me how much the people who’ve been complaining about feminists being “man haters” for all these decades do, in fact, *actually* think men are monsters

Commonwealth Court rules the state constitution includes a fundamental right to abortion • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Susan Frietsche, of the Women’s Law Project, said the Medicaid coverage exclusion was the single largest barrier to abortion access in Pa.

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

And then Tampa Bay lost lol

Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways

Heard the same sentiments in Poland and Canada.

Did FIFA pull a bait-and-switch with World Cup tickets? Seating assignments add to fan outrage Many World Cup ticket holders felt deceived this month when FIFA assigned precise seat numbers to their already-purchased tickets. At the same time, FIFA hiked ticket prices for nearly every game — in...

Of course they did. Let me say it again; FIFA is corrupt.

ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.

Abolish ICE.

I don't care about the Leafs one way or the other, but I do enjoy their issues being traced back in part to some dope relying on LLMs to do shit.

Well, that new Athletic article made me even more pessimistic about the teams direction. Super reassuring to see Pelly be taken in by AI to solve the Leafs problems. Fucccccckkkkkk

Finally it's raining. Mother Nature was thinking about it all day. 🌧️

Glad to see the Australian government on board. Massive milestone today with Bowen acknowledging EV growth is already offsetting the oil crisis. Increasing reserves while demand falls makes no sense.

Now for a solar carport mandate!

Charge baby charge. ☀️⚡ #Bettrification #EVs

Trying to lose weight but like...I might need some Las Palmas tomorrow.

SO MANY DEAD CATS AND DOGS. WHY?!

I work at a high school and you can see things like ChatGPT losing its "coolness". They're getting bored with it. Because to them it wasn't a tool, but a trend. A toy. Only greedy unimaginative tech bros think it's cool.
Also they're getting tired of influencers. I'm keeping the faith man.

It's up there with going into the deep ocean to explore. Absolutely wild and amazing.

As far as I know there is literally no reason for this, it is just an incredibly lucky coincidence that we get to enjoy for free

My Pens are in the playoffs 💛🖤😭

You ever see posts of items or toys and it says "90s kids will remember!"
And you're like "Correction: WEALTHY 90s kids will remember"

More grateful than ever I don't watch cable
