Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.” Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back. Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.

That awful digital ad background is so bad on the #Mariners game that Logan Gilbert has a flickering red outline as he pitches and the ball just disappears when he throws it. It's really really horrible.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

For those teaching, researching, or interested in visualizing Greek myth, there is an invaluable new interactive map & database of Greek mythic persons, objects, & places called MANTO. The raw linked open data alone is stunning but the maps are also fantastic [1/4] manto.unh.edu/viewer.p/60/...

I'm reading memos and letters to the university community from presidents who are implementing draconian budget cuts this year (for a project I'm working on) and good god the amount of obfuscatory and weasel-wordy business-speak in these things is making me grind my teeth into dust

You know, instead of writing 400 stories about how old Joe Biden is, perhaps our news media can put their focus on these freaks who are already in positions of power? Like, as someone who isn't Christian, I'm kinda taken back by a sitting Senator saying that I and my family are threats to America.

The Secret Service is constantly at the White House. From this we can conclude that the President is a secret.

Visitor logs show that the Biden Administration invited over a thousand college athletes, including women's teams, to the White House last year. Speculation is rife that Biden intends to enter college athletics as a transgender woman. -- NY Times

What a cool project. I think I would have preferred having native Lakota speakers take all the roles - we have so many examples of non-native actors really bombing another language - but there is value to the stars coming in, and things seem to have really been run by Lakota folks.

Ah crap. I mean, I suppose it's too much to think that a pirate site would be respectful of the rights of authors, but this really sucks.
