I think a lot of the way older right-wingers view and talk about cities can be explained by the fact that they thought the first 15 minutes of Predator 2 was real news footage.

During those orange sky days we decorated our patio with a “brunching in hell” theme
Maybe they should just practice locking the door and turning off the lights and remaining silent while hiding under their desks…or is that just appropriate for kindergartners? 
We need to charge every single ICE agent who pulled a trigger with murder, and every single one around them who refused to stop it with conspiracy to commit murder. This is grotesque.
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 3w agoBREAKING: BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.
The ICE agents who shot and killed a 26-year-old father in Biddeford, Maine, were searching for a different person, per DHS Sec. Markwayne Mullin. The man they shot was authorized to work in the United States and had been issued a Social Security number.
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 3w agoThe Portland Press Herald has released footage from the deadly ICE shooting in Biddeford, Maine. Bystanders described the shooting as an execution.
ICE killed a person they weren't even looking for AGAIN. Second time in the past week.

Thinking how at the end of the Star Wars trilogy an entire galaxy celebrates the death of the emperor without a finger wagging coda where a sad-eyed long haired scold in bespoke clothing warns that this reduces everyone to the same level as the genocidal tyrant who got tossed into a laser shaft.

Every ICE agent should be hung for treason
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 4w agoICE has killed again. Again, the govt scrambled to claim an officer was threatened by ICE’s victim’s car. And again, that appears to be a lie. Except this time ICE also grabbed 3 witnesses, and is trying to get them out of the country. Immoral, authoritarian, and practically an admission of guilt.
"“A masked agent in an unmarked car killed Lorenzo in his own neighborhood where he lived for 35 years working and raising a family...This is what unaccountable, unrepentant, unconstitutional enforcement looks like.”
Gabe Ortíz@tusk81.bsky.social · 4w agoThey canned Kristi Noem as part of a public relations stunt following Minnesota. But now another one of our neighbors is dead, another family is grieving, and another agent with a body count continues stalking our streets endangering us all: americasvoicecnn.substack.com/p/ice-has-ag...
The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti
ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

Shannon measured the information rate of English at ~1 bit per character.

#science #ecology I'm looking for some advice. I did a PhD in entomology and biostatistics, followed by a stint at CDC as a statistician for 2.5 years. I'm bored as a data analyst at a hospital and want to do ecology. For reasons, I can only look for remote jobs. What options should I be looking at?
