That's home. That's us.

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.
I'm in a pretty rural spot and when I had to run a quick errand for someone. Wound up in a Walmart for the first time in ages.
I've never actually seen this ridiculous coffee in the real world before.
Holy fucking cow, how insecure in your manhood do you have to be to purchase this crap? 😝
Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability

Rolling Stone: clearly documents a 30+ year long con job. A rural county's own leadership lined their pockets by helping ag interests destroy the water supply.
Everyone who read the article apparently??: Amazon data centers did this in 2011

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

Dick Cheney became a fierce critic of Donald Trump after the Capitol insurrection — but by then, it was too late, Ron Suskind writes. “Mr. Cheney had done as much as anyone in history to undermine Americans’ trust in their institutions and leaders, including Mr. Cheney himself.”
This week Vivek Ramaswamy spoke at a Turning Point USA event originally scheduled to headlined by the late Charlie Kirk. But during the Q&A things took a turn as Ramaswamy fielded questions about his Hindu faith…🐆💀
Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋
Tweet from Dan Satterfield Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact.
and a retired meteorologist shall lead us
I hope they catch the people responsible. I only hope that Laura Loomer's irresponsible and downright violent rhetoric wasn't a contributing factor to the deepening crisis of right wing extremist attacks in our country.
Sometimes you're cooking dinner and your partner says to you "do you think millennials are so into cucking because we grew up watching all of our favorite cereal mascots getting constantly denied what they truly want?"
Same goes for queer and minority communities. We won't tolerate bigots, fascists, TERFs, etc.
If your platform is nothing but straight cis white people, you don't have a userbase. You have a sundown town.
I saw someone say something like "finding furries on a media platform is a sign of a healthy community, it's like how finding animals in a forest is the sign of a healthy ecosystem" and this is so true.
If the furries leave, you know the soil is toxic and you should set up camp elsewhere.
Trump voting couple says they regret their vote after being stopped by border patrol. “Is it because we’re not white?” 🙃 🐆

Still amazed that these two maps are not making more news and generating more public comment. Especially given the intentionally degraded capacity of the federal wildland fire service.
Description of Elon Musk being incapable of operating a Pop-Tart without injuring himself.
None of these so-called "geniuses" even knows how to properly feed themselves.
Backers are asked to believe that OpenAI is the most responsible guardian of The Dangerous Majick, while also understanding that the urgency of Al's arms race frees it from all obligation to act responsibly. Burning cash is foundational to its business. There's no time to sandbox new products or abide by laws when liquidity is only ever measured in months. The looming threat of insolvency is what propels OpenAI forward. Does value-for-money get a look in? We know very little about OpenAI's day-to-day operating costs, but we've learned a little more about the day-to-day operating costs of the CEO.
Maybe it's useful to know that Altman uses a knife that's showy but incohesive and wrong for the job; he wastes huge amounts of money on olive oil that he uses recklessly; and he has an automated coffee machine that claims to save labour while doing the exact opposite because it can't be trusted. His kitchen is a catalogue of inefficiency, incomprehension, and waste. If that's any indication of how he runs the company, insolvency cannot be considered too unrealistic a threat.
This may genuinely be one of the most devastating things I've seen about a tech CEO in the mainstream media. Amazing.
Scene is WAITROSE CUSTOMER SERVICES DESK. Behind it is a staff member, whose name we will soon learn is BECKY. She is dealing with a customer, for now out of shot, while talking to her manager on the phone. BECKY [on phone]: Yeah, hiya... 2 BECKY: Yes I have a customer here who wants to complain about the Easter eggs. 3 BECKY [putting hand over receiver while addressing the customer stood at the desk in front of her]: Sorry what was your name again? 4 [Pull back to show the customer is a very tall, green-skinned, PAGAN GODDESS, festooned with flowers. Stood next to her is her son, a normal human teenager in a hoodie, who looks mortified by his mum.] PAGAN GODDESS: Eostre the Pagan Goddess of Fertility 5 BECKY Sorry - Your name is Easter…? PAGAN GODDESS: Eostre. 6 VICKY: Your name is Easter and you want to complain about the Easter eggs. 7 PAGAN GODDESS: Sorry love, what’s your name? BECKY: Becky PAGAN GODDESS: Well, Vicky - 8 PAGAN GODDESS: If it was you who’d shagged the solar god of the Equinox to give birth to an actual living god - my son Darren here - TEENAGE BOY: Muuum… 9 PAGAN GODDESS: ….only to have all your efforts totally forgotten by history, you’d have a complaint too! 10 PAGAN GODDESS: Aisle four is full of products, with no hint of the true meaning of the festival! 11 BECKY: You mean… Jesus…? PAGAN GODDESS: I mean shagging, Vicky. 12 PAGAN GODDESS: Is it too much to see just a little bit of pre-Christian sex in Aisle 4? TEENAGE BOY: MUUUUM
Happy Easter
For GenZ: Airbus aircraft have a distinctive hydraulic pump that cycles on the ground. It creates a kind of pervasive mechanical barking noise that is impossible to miss or mistake, usually on the ground.

It looks like someone has hacked a crosswalk button in Palo Alto to deliver at least two different messages in the voice of Elon Musk.
(They are not complimentary)
The modern Supreme Court is an undemocratic myth created to undo actual democracy. And we can get there again. With progressive judges willing to be pressured and a mass movement willing to provide that pressure.
