DHS confirmed that ICE and CBP agents will be on site “for security” at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. ICE also reminded non-U.S. citizens to carry proof of legal status while attending the event.

Nothing like making an unpopular tournament more attractive than by having federal law enforcement make suggestive threats about games that largely rely on excitement from immigrant communities.

I've been thinking about Sharon Apple lately. Remember that scene where the paparazzi are taking photos of the black cube computer that contains her AI? Now that I think about it, isn't it funny that the AI is Macross Plus was a grift and didn't work as advertised?

Listening to the recaps the It Could Happen Here pod did and one of them noted how Andor showed the start of the fall of the empire because the ISB staff either got killed, thrown in prison, self-destructed, etc. then Vader starts killing any officer he doesn’t like. No one is left to manage shit.

In ESB, Lord Vader is just choking out one admiral after another. After Grand Moff Tarkin is killed all the adults in the room are gone from the Empire.

Vader putting out a call for a bunch of ragtag smelly ass bounty hunters in the middle of a failed pursuit of the Rebel Alliance in the middle of nowhere Hoth system was a real loser moment for him. if you were a mid-career Imperial officer on board the SSD at that time you had to have doubts

Recently I found myself on Antipope Instagram, where there are endless reels of the current Antipope of the Palmarian Catholic Church. This is, of course, extremely my jam, and I started reading up on them hoping to find some wild theology, but instead I found something WAY better...

Here's a fun anecdote for you: when I was doing casework for those lifers that had all been sentenced, the workload was roughly split between three of us. Surnames A-M, surnames N-Z, and one person doing Mc & Mac. Had its own cupboard and everything
