Someone at my company just had to deal with visa issues and senior executives were all pretty pissed that this extremely important person to this extremely important project had to leave the country for a couple of months to work it out for no reason This isn't going to go over well

BREAKING: The U.S. is preparing to rescind up to 200,000 business and tourism visas in the largest mass visa revocation ever, officials say.

Oh this is gonna go to fucking stupid places. Amerimaidan is definitely going to happen because John Roberts et al are going to give Trump enough rope to hang himself & the basic popular legitimacy of the entire executive branch with. This invites all sorts of continued poking at election theft.

U.S. SUPREME COURT LIFTS JUDICIAL DECISION THAT BLOCKED IN 23 STATES AND WASHINGTON, D.C. TRUMP'S ORDER RESTRICTING MAIL-IN BALLOTS

What really gets me about this bullshit is that, despite being 6’5”, I’ve been sexually assaulted four fucking times — none of which had anything to do with being a furry. Simply the absolute worst thing she could have said.

Bitch you went from “furries are rapists” to calling me a rapist, and just…fuck you.

Already loved this story of this Philly queen who confronted a Chucky masked man harassing a jogger and kicked him in the chest so much but knowing that we can thank "years of stage combat training at the University of Arts in Philadelphia" makes it even better: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/u...

A Man in a Chucky-Style Mask Was Scaring Philadelphians. Then He Picked the Wrong Woman.

When Jameka Wilson encountered a man wearing a Chucky-style Halloween mask, her stage combat training kicked in. Now she’s a minor local celebrity.

The thing is Rob Ford is a Trumpian bully, and he understands the domination game Trump’s trying to pull and knows you fight it by coming at it straight on. He’s a corrupt thug, but he knows another corrupt thug when he sees one, and is not about to be out-thugged.

PREMIER FORD, on Trump: “.. He can kiss my ass as far as I’m concerned. .. We are going to go at him full steam.” 🇨🇦 @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

We did invade Canada twice, arguably three times if you count the Fenian Raids. Canada did a damn good job repelling all three. They literally exist as an Anglophone country in no small part from the people who looked at the Revolutionary War and said 'Fuck you'.

Vance: We have to remember, Canada is a state-- sorry, Freudian slip. Canada is a country that would get invaded by a foreign country if it weren't for America

For 50 years, Cuba didn't take deportations. Now the Trump admin is dumping elderly Cubans ordered deported decades ago into southern Mexico, many who have been complying with immigration check-ins since before ICE existed. There should be a statute of limitations/expiration date on removal orders.

A picture of an elderly man with grey hair sitting in a small room, next to a cot and a shelving unit with a few clothes on it. He is in a white tank top. Underneath is the following text:

"Julio Borrell, originally from Cuba, in Tapachula, on July 30, 2026 (Lisette Poole for The Atlantic)
Borrell told me that he’d come to the United States when he was 26 as part of the Mariel boatlift, the mass exodus of Cubans who traveled on crowded boats to Miami in 1980. He had seven American children, 11 grandchildren, and a great-grandchild. He had run a mechanic shop and renewed his visa each time it neared expiration. He could feel his body breaking down after years of physical labor and had been looking forward to retirement and more time with his family in South Florida."

In Tapachula, @theatlantic.com's Kevin Sieff finds a city that "looks and feels the way towns in northern Mexico along the U.S. border once did—a dumping ground for those expelled from the United States and a gathering place for those snagged on their way north." www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

anytime people raise concerns about land use for solar projects or anything like that i just want to point out that half the corn we grow in this country gets used to make gasoline slightly worse
