  1. Trump says he would revoke the temporary protective status of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio. Bradley: So you would revoke the temporary protected status? Trump: Absolutely. I'd revoke it, and I'd bring them back to their country.
  2. An interesting note from the new Jack Smith filing: He argues that FBI experts have mapped out what Donald Trump was doing on his phone during the Capitol Riot and that, at trial, a forensic examiner could testify about logs that show Trump “was using his phone, and in particular, was using the Twitter application, consistently throughout the day after he returned from the Ellipse speech.”
  3. Based solely on this information, I'm just gonna assume that he has a custom-made Cyberchess set and shows it off.
  4. At this point, you have to wonder if RFK has one of the strongest games on the planet. There's no other explanation.
  5. Here's a before/after:
  6. Harris is involved in censorship. I HAD NO IDEA.
  7. Mute Vance's mike, goddammit.

  9. A Programming Note: 60 Minutes is scheduled to air a primetime election special on a Monday edition of the broadcast on October 7 at 8 PM. For over half a century, 60 Minutes has invited the Democratic and Republican tickets to appear on our broadcast as Americans head to the polls. This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes. Vice President Harris will speak with correspondent Bill Whitaker. After initially accepting 60 Minutes’ request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump’s campaign has decided not to participate. Pelley will address this Monday evening. Our election special will broadcast the Harris interview on Monday as planned. Our original invitation to former President Donald Trump to be interviewed on 60 Minutes stands.
  10. Has a release date: https://gizmodo.com/john-williams-documentary-release-date-trailer-disney-plus-2000505702
  11. RE: the quartz mine; here's a Wired article from 2018 about this place and the importance it has worldwide. Also, it produces the sand in the bunkers at Augusta National. Long article, and there's some pics that are interesting. https://www.wired.com/story/book-excerpt-science-of-ultra-pure-silicon/
  12. Most all of us here mock Tesla for one reason or another, but this isn't a Tesla issue---it's a saltwater/EV issue: https://jalopnik.com/here-s-why-saltwater-can-cause-evs-to-burst-into-flames-1851661140
  13. TL; DR. Spruce Pine, North Carolina is the world's leading source of high-purity quartz for semiconductors, and it's been horribly impacted by hurricane Helene. https://jalopnik.com/hurricane-helenes-devastation-of-a-small-town-in-north-1851660775
  14. Probably. I mean, Troy is level headed, isn't overly political, I've never heard him complain about immigration, etc. But, yeah. He's a poster child for the effectivness of cannabis on quality of life. Where he once used a walker, he now walks normally.
  15. Good friend of mine; his FIL is close to 90. Some years ago, he had some kind of back injury from his job, and the remedy was about 5 lbs of stainless shit they put around his spine. As you can imagine it, things did not go well and he had it all removed sometime after that. Since that time, he has had back pain, trouble walking, quality of life stuff. Also, he was a deacon in a Baptist church, for another data point. Then medical weed was approved in his state. His daughter and granddaughter wondered if it would do him any good, so they talked him into a script. He didn't want to smoke, so chocolate edibles was his preferred method of delivery. That's been 3-4 years ago, and he was a changed man overnight. He can sleep, he doesn't have the back pain, etc. Once every 2 weeks or so he goes to his local dispensary, gets a refill and that's that. He hasn't had to take any of the multiple prescription meds he was on to manage his pain.
