ICE Can Now Enter Your Home Without a Warrant to Look for Migrants, DOJ Memo Says
Reply in thread
Looking forward to this being challenged in a state with Stand Your Ground laws where warrantless trespassing is legally the same as any other trespassing.
I'm personally opposed to lethal force being used to protect property in general, but there are places where that is essentially legal due to Stand Your Ground laws.

Valve’s next mystery gadget may be imminent
Based on the recent development work that appears to be happening in SteamVR for Linux, which hasn't gotten that much love since a couple months after Alyx released, my money is on this being a "standalone" VR headset. That said, I'll be happy with almost anything at this point, I really enjoy pretty much all the hardware Valve has made over the years, and trying out their ideas for new ways to interact with games is always fun.

Harness launches Gitness, an open-source GitHub competitor
Looks interesting, although the comments about other git repo services being bloated, complicated, and resource heavy, followed by a paragraph about AI features that have been added, with more planned in the future, seems a touch ironic to me.

Passengers at some U.S. airports no longer have to remove footwear, sources say
Looking forward a TSA officer looking at me like an idiot for either not taking my shoes off or for taking my shoes off. It's comforting to know that no matter what I do, there's a TSA agent who will treat me like I'm a moron for following the same instructions I overheard them give the person in front of me.

DEMS PULL UPSET ON EPSTEIN FILES: Democrats dropped an 11th-hour motion at an unrelated hearing after noticing that most GOP members on the panel had publicly demanded the files be released.
Reply in thread
I don't see anyone saying this yet, but the Epstein files were sealed by a court order for Ghislaine Maxwell's trial. They weren't unsealed until January of 2025. Biden couldn't have released them without violating the court order that sealed them - and possibly giving Ghislaine's lawyers a slam dunk to get her off with a mistrial.

Get Ready Now: Republicans Will Refuse to Certify a Harris Win | Trumpist county election officials are preparing to throw the process into chaos.
Watching Trump's press conference from Mar-a-lago the other day, and hearing his excuses for why he isn't out on the road campaigning, it struck me that the narrative that he's moping around depressed that he's losing isn't the whole story.
He's got Vance out pretending to campaign, while he and his buddies are sitting around coming up with plan B. He's probably had calls with dozens of Republican governors and is getting teams of "alternate electors" together (the Stephen Miller interview on Ari Melber's show made it pretty clear that they still see that as a perfectly legal strategy). Donald may know "it's over" but that just means he's going to get more desperate and we've already seen what desperate Trump can do with 2 months of prep, I'm not looking forward to seeing what he can do with 5 months.

Unity will start charging developers each time their game is installed
Reply in thread
Yep, hopefully Godot ends up being the real winner, because with as many AAA studios that have started to abandon their own in-house engines in favor of Unreal, it's starting to feel a bit like Epic is going to end up with more than a healthy share of the market.

Hegseth says he’ll order random pizzas to throw off monitoring app
"Thought about" and "might just" are two phrases middle aged white guys use when we want to talk big and then never follow through. I'd be shocked if he puts in one "fake" order, and highly doubt he'll be able to be consistent enough to throw off the tracker.

All passengers will be forced to use digital boarding passes by 2030, predicts airline chief
But why would it matter? A QR code works regardless of the technology used to display it (be that paper, a screen, or a bunch of rubix cubes). What would the benefit of requiring digital boarding passes be? Unless the airline wants to force passengers to use their app so they can sell customer data and sell ads, there's no real benefit to the actual boarding process.

Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law
Reply in thread
No way that's the real reason, the real reason is taxes. So many California millionaires move to Texas for the low tax, only to realize once they're there that it's a shitty state with a barely-functioning power grid. Unfortunately it never seems to click for most of them that the low taxes is a big part of why they don't have a competent state government.

Trump is flat-out lying about the ‘60 Minutes’ interview with Harris
Kamala Harris's 60 minutes interview had 5.7 million live viewers, and as of today, 3.8 million views on YouTube. Making approximately 9.5 million views total.
Spotify doesn't release their numbers, but just on YouTube, Donald Trump's appearance on Joe Rogan's 3-hour podcast got over 26 million views in the first 24 hours (and today is sitting at 55 million views).
Even if CBS was somehow unfair, it doesn't matter. Trump got a massive viewership advantage going on Rogan, but because he's a fossil, doesn't see it that way, because he still thinks broadcast TV is mainstream media. It's not. Joe Rogan is mainstream media at this point.

Gay student says "Coach" Tim Walz protected him from homophobic bullies

Because good people - the people who would make the best leaders, aren't narcissistic enough to believe they should run for president. They're happy helping in whatever way they can, but they generally don't have the audacity to think they have any business trying to run for the most powerful position in government. Partially because they're humble, but also they aren't in it for power, they just want to help people.
There's definitely a conversation to be had that the role of president should be one of humility and neighborliness, but there's a group of voters in America who just want somebody who can throw their dick around on the world stage and intimidate the rest of the world like a pro wrestler. And most politician types try to be both the helpful neighbor and pro wrestler, but end up seeming fake and not very genuine because usually both the macho and the neighborly aspects are an act, and they just want power.

Kamala Harris Refused to Meet With Uncommitted About Gaza — and Uncommitted Refused to Endorse Her
Not to be pedantic, but wouldn't making an endorsement make them no longer "Uncommitted"? Yes, Harris could and should be better on the genocide happening in Gaza, but "Uncommitted voters still uncommitted after not meeting with candidate" also isn't much of a story.

Ohio governor signs executive order banning gender surgeries for minors
Reply in thread
I'm in no way equating the two because non-consensual surgeries on intersex kids have potential to be far more damaging, but I'm sure infant male genital mutilation will continue as well.
