The group, stylized as teamLab, is moving into a 110,000-square-foot space at OCVibe,

Atlee gets all the credit for setting up proper public services, but it was arguably the end point, or a high water mark, for a tide that had been slowly swelling for decades, centuries even, laboriously hauled into existence by Liberals. Must remember death duties were introduced in 1894, next time the red tops are screaming about a "death tax"...

A group of men detained in Texas found a new way to communicate what they are going through in custody,
despite being shuttered from the outside world.
They compiled hundreds of pages of handwritten testimony and some hand-drawn art, and mailed it from inside the privately run ICE jail.
One man even wrote two protest songs and sang them over a crackly prison pay phone to the Guardian.
In a solemn and defiant tone, he sang from the perspective of one detainee to anot…
The Defense Department’s vaunted network of research laboratories
— whose scientists helped develop satellite communication, radar technology, and even the computer mouse
— is in trouble.
The labs lost a significant share of their staff last year,
largely in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to thin the federal work force.
