I am sure that I am far from the first person who woke up this morning, saw the news and said “well, they finally admitted the SOB is dead” and then realized it was Lindsay Graham
Even in death, a second-rater.

Relaxed morning ride around 22° instead of a morning walk. Good to wake up.

his image captures a serene and idyllic rural scene, evoking a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. A gravel path, slightly uneven and bordered by lush green grass, stretches into the distance, inviting the viewer to imagine a peaceful walk or bike ride. The path is flanked by vibrant meadows filled with tall grass and scattered wildflowers, adding texture and color to the landscape. To the left of the path, there is a rustic wooden shed with a slanted roof, its weathered surface blending h…

"Some designs of emojis are very different for the same codepoint, especially the ones depicting emotions/reactions. Examples coming to mind are 😨, 🔫. What are your thoughts on this?" - The (water) pistol 🔫 was originally a hand gun which looked a lot more real. In response to its frequent use in criminal or other unsavory contexts (e.g., as a threat), most platforms replaced it with the colorful plastic toy gun design in 2018. (In 2024, Elon Musk had it turned back into a realistic hand gun for the Twemoji design 🙄)
I'm torn. On the one hand, I don't think we can stay on top of all potential uses of emojis (or should even try to limit them) and people who want to use emojis for threats probably can still do so. On the other hand, I do find it rather hard to imagine that the green plastic 🔫 could be used as a threat... so... I guess good job, designers/tech firms? #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

It was no coincidence that Soumia Bensalah,
a French Moroccan with a pending green card application,
was released from the Pinellas jail and then sent back at regular, 72-hour intervals,
according to legal experts.
That’s the maximum amount of time that county jails like Pinellas’ can hold immigrants on behalf of ICE.
The limit exists to prevent immigrants detained on civil charges from spending too long in jails meant for people detained on criminal charges. …

These Local Jails Were Supposed to Detain Immigrants for Only 72 Hours. One Woman Was Held for a Total of 26 Days.
Rebookings of immigrants into local jails are an effort to circumvent federal rules and regulations, legal experts say. Our nationwide analysis shows that in the past year, two Florida jails had unusually high numbers of rebookings.
