so, to be clear: ICE has been doing neoStarlight Tours, if instead of taking natives a three hour walk out of town in -40° and ditching them there without their personal effects, to kill them, they drove folks hundreds of kilometers away and ditched them without their personal effects, to kill them.

Silver Age panel. Jimmy Olsen is outside somewhere holding a camera in his hands. Narration: "But, wait...what's this new surprise that Jimmy runs into, a few minutes later?" Spoilers, it's a robot approaching him. The robot has written on its chest, "This robot is trained to smash your camera".  Jimmy says, "Jeepers! Got to escape that robot!"

Critics of new bill say Ohio women would be banned from sports bras, bikinis in public 'The peak of fear mongering.'

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill.

HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.

Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief" from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego

Lynne Thigpen as "The Chief" from Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego

Lock the fuck in, Gumshoes. Carmen Sandiego stole a priceless wax pressing of "One of These Nights" by the Eagles. You've got to stop her before she travels back in time to 149 BC Carthage and trades it to Scipio Africanus the Younger for a kilo of the good shit.

Joking aside, every proposal for age verification and ID verification is a proposal to give your data to Palantir, and that needs to be rammed home to every EU commission, EP and national politician every time they spout that rubbish.

Mr. Cube, an anthropomorphised sugar cube with arms, legs, a face and a large nose. He is seen here wielding a sword and a T&L (Tate and Lyle) shield.

Mr. Cube, an anthropomorphised sugar cube with arms, legs, a face and a large nose. He is seen here wielding a sword and a T&L (Tate and Lyle) shield.

Do you know? asks Mr. CUBE
1. British refined sugar is the cheapest and best in the world? [Mr. Cube bows. "At your service"]
2. British sugar refiners do not receive a subsidy from the Government or anyone else? [Cube's feet. "I stand on my own feet"]
3. That Tate & Lyle are able to run their business profitably only because they are efficient—shareholders get only 3d profit on all the sugar one person eats in a year? [Cube points at you angrily with three pennies in hand. "Only threepence"]
4. That when controls go you will, once again get the sugar and syrup of your choice? [Cube waves a bad boss goodbye. "When controls go"]

BUT, says Mr. CUBE
1. Sugar refining is on the list for nationalisation. [Cube is horrified. "It's on the list"]
2. Industries already nationalised are running at a loss and it is you the taxpayer who is to pay for these losses. [Cube points at you angrily. "It's your money"]

If Sugar is Nationalised
Mr. CUBE believes that
1. Prices will rise. [Cube is distraught. "Oh Dear, Dear, DEARER"]
2. Quality will suffer. [Cube rejects an ageing, withering sugar cube with a walking stick]
3. Even the choice you have now will vanish [Cube observes two 'state' cubes with surprise]

Mr. Cube
Tate & Lyle
1949-1951

A sugar cube warrior created at Tate & Lyle as means of resistance against the postwar Labour government's attempted nationalisation of the sugar industry. "Take the S out of State" was among his mottos. Before you sing praises, Cube was a friend to the Conservatives.

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage.
A woman answers the door.
We have come for the child, says the hooded figure
So soon? she asks
It is time, says the hooded figure.
The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card!
What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure
We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! 
For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness
Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman,
the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them.
Do not cry mother. 
I am a writer now.

Since this has prompted some questions: @nytdiff.bsky.social does not rely on the Wayback Machine. It calls the NYT Top Stories API directly every ten minutes and tracks changes itself.

I personally strongly endorse the Wayback Machine and think the NYT should drop their block.
