What a lovely spread!

If you get really big daikons, you should try scalloped daikon radishes, it’s my new go-to during the season when I get overwhelmed with large ones.

Another person inside the home reported the garage was always locked, documents said. A person also reported to investigators that the garage contained three refrigerators and that the room smelled “like a hospital – not like a clean hospital but more of a foul, stale, stagnant air smell.” Several days after entering the garage, two people became “deathly ill,” and they “could not get out of bed,” documents said. A tipster also told police the house contained “many dead crickets” and several people had gotten sick.

Maybe they shouldn’t have entered the locked, foul-hospital-smelling room then …

Later that day, Jon received an email from Google notifying him that an administrative subpoena had been sent to them from the Department of Homeland Security “compelling the release of information related to your Google Account.” Federal agencies can issue such subpoenas without an order from a judge or grand jury, and Google gave Jon, who withheld his last name to protect his family from the government, one week to challenge it.

Laws are supposed to restrict the use of administrative subpoenas, but DHS has used the tool against dissent protected under the First Amendment to the Constitution. Jon could not find who in the agency issued the subpoena, let alone a record of it to show an attorney.

Days later, DHS agents showed up at Jon’s door. A naturalized U.S. citizen originally from the U.K., Jon was worried about potential violence. The agents showed him a copy of the email and asked to see his side of the story. They didn’t know about the administrative subpoena but said they received orders to interview Jon by DHS headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Eventually, the agents agreed that Jon had committed no crimes after he told them he found Dernbach’s email address through a simple Google search. Jon secured pro bono representation by ACLU attorneys, who argue that the government is violating a statute that limits how administrative subpoenas can be used for “immigration enforcement” and that the government targeted Jon for protected speech.

A small toolkit that didn’t get yeeted around the car when you had your accident.

Pretty sure were a group who bought out the theatre for their own private showing.

You just know they’re going to deputize CBP and ICE to “protect the integrity” of the elections next fall.

“This momentum is an important first step in what we see as a long-tail lifecycle for both the film and the forthcoming docuseries […] The First Lady previously announced a spin-off series for her documentary, which she said was coming in a “few months.”

Oh God, they’re making a series!

First off, blatant bribe here. Secondly, I’m guessing, from Melania’s perspective, this is her trying to set herself up for a relevant and glamorous life once her husband dies (you know he won’t have left her much, if anything). And even if she doesn’t make it into Hollywood, it at least gets her some of her own money.

They said that reviewers had to buy their own tickets, instead of the free tickets or previews that they usually get. One reviewer in New York said there were 5 people in his audience and at least two of the others were also reviewers.

That’s how most of the deaths in the labor camps (as opposed to the extermination camps) happened. Overcrowded, not enough shelter from the elements, drastically underfed, minimal if any medical treatment available, and disease just rips through the camps, killing people.

Is this just what veteran CBP officers are like?

I read an article a few weeks ago, which pointed out that ICE does work internal to the US and is generally pretty restrained. CBP works at the border and is generally more aggressive, chasing down and subduing people who’ve crossed the border, usually in remote and hostile territory. They said that CBP could often be violent, and now those people were being released to use those same tactics against American cities.

So yes, this is exactly what some CBP officers are like.

You regret being found out, not having that contact in the first place.

The chase car has been removed - but no one’s seen the self-driving cars either, not since the chase car was removed. It’s another intentional misdirection.

I followed a link in that article to this one: Tesla didn’t remove the Robotaxi ‘safety monitor’ – it just moved them to a trailing car:

When Musk says there’s “no safety monitor in the car,” he’s technically telling the truth, the monitor is in a different car, following right behind. But the implication that Tesla has achieved true unsupervised autonomy is misleading at best.

It’s not that UPS doesn’twant to deliver small packages, it’s that the Amazon deliveries are extremely small profit for them. Both because Amazon doesn’t pay that much for delivery, and because Amazon deliberately offloads the most expensive deliveries (like rural addresses) to rival companies.

You’re not SoL yet as the USPS is mandated to deliver to every address in the country; you may be SoL if they ever finally manage to privatize the Post Office.

Even if his robots were ready for primetime (they’re not), I don’t see how he’s going to be able to price them affordably, given the RAM shortages.

Nah, he’ll have the government buy them as fleet cars.

They’ve also announced that they’re not going to release the killer’s bodycam footage.

Well, she’s not very intelligent, but I hope she’s right!

Invited to hear Noem and Lewandowski was White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, press secretary Karoline Leavitt and Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director.

So - the person paid to pay attention while Trump takes naps, and two people running the White House spin machine. Meaning that absolutely nothing is going to change except their PR.
