there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it). the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
Trump has fully shattered the world we all grew up in. It’s a dramatic break from how things worked before, even compared to the Iraq War and other misadventures - the United States abruptly tumbling over a cliff and becoming literally more reckless and domineering than Putin’s Russia.
"Help find lost dogs" was definitely not the only pitch seriously considered by a marketing dept brainstorming an AI security ad campaign, but I'm pretty sure the geniuses signing the checks thought it was the most wholesome and above reproach.
These companies have whole marketing departments and not once did anyone realize this was a stupid idea. There goes the entire Super Bowl ad budget, potential growth, and now negative PR on top. Disaster.

Tobias Kinter Bencosme, 44, of Miami, FL, is an ICE Supervisory Detention Agent who participated in the illegal home invasion and kidnapping of an elderly American citizen in St Paul, MN on 1/18/2026. Bencosme dragged the Hmong grandfather outside in the frigid air wearing only boxers and a blanket.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.
Another vehicle opened. Back was full of license plates, gear, various fed patches.

3 min before the shooting, Renee Good was honking her horn incessantly. Several (4? 5?) vehicles leave the block, driving past her. Ross goes behind her, another car leaves, and she starts to reverse to pull away when the white truck stops and you know the rest.

Kind of wild there has been almost no coverage of the fact that the federal government unleashed chemical weapons against literal kids *at school*. workdaymagazine.org/minneapolis-...

NAL but for the record USC 18 111 states: (a)In General.—Whoever— (1)forcibly assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, intimidates, or interferes with any person designated in section 1114 of this title while engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties; or (1/3)
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Fun fact, they do that on purpose - this is a ten year old article: www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/blog/new-dir...

I was watching The Family Stone last night and wondered about Keaton's character's mastectomy scars. Thanks to AI, I now know things about them that aren't even in the movie. (She showed the edge of a scar to her husband. No character named Connor. Also don't think type of cancer is specified)
PJ was talented, yes, but also extremely funny and kind, and charmingly insecure about his talent. RIP
