Just a snapshot of what's going with ICE in Chicago. Beyond the headline, one man, a U.S. citizen, was picked up a couple miles from my house, handcuffed, and held for over 10 hours before being released with no way home. No record of his arrest exists. How many stories like these are there nationwide?

Holy smokes...
Here in #londonontario (#yxu) a girl in a ski-mask set a #Tesla on fire Monday night. Myself, I don't condone these acts of violence on people's personal property - guess she didn't know about the new Tesla building under construction in the city, now that... that could go...
[EDIT]: This is not a re-used photo from elsewhere - it is real - here is a local news article:

[EDIT2]: From the article, it appears this was a test-drive unit for the showroom in the mall, so not personal property... carry on then..

The image is a meme divided into two parts. The top part features an animated scene from an anime, showing a muscular man in a white outfit lifting another man in a blue outfit off the ground. The man in blue has a woman with blonde hair clinging to his back. The background is a clear blue sky. The text at the bottom of this part reads, "Getting mad doesn't make you stronger, that's not how it works!"
The bottom part of the image shows a close-up of a man with a serious expression, sweating, and looking to the side. The text above him reads "Barbarians." The background is blurred, with a hint of a curtain and a plant. The meme humorously contrasts the animated character's advice with the man's expression, suggesting that he might be a "barbarian" who doesn't heed the advice.

“Europe is full of technical talent, including the people who built much of the technology powering the major American cloud providers. The only issue? Much of that European talent is employed by American companies or working on open-source projects as a hobby in their attic.
The question is: how do we combine talent and funding to create a better European cloud?”

The image shows the interior of a refrigerator with multiple shelves filled with eggs. The eggs are predominantly white, arranged neatly in rows. On the bottom shelf, there is a noticeable mix of white and brown eggs, with the brown eggs interspersed among the white ones. The eggs are uniform in size and shape, with a smooth, glossy surface. The refrigerator's interior is white, and the shelves are also white, providing a clean and organized appearance. The text at the top of the image reads: "A good DM will mix up a treasure horde to make it value appropriate for the current campaign setting..."
