“I tried to pre-order the phone and pay the $100 downpayment,” Cox wrote in his opinion piece, “but the website failed, went to an error page, and then charged my credit card the wrong amount of $64.70.”

Despite being undercharged, Cox received a vague confirmation email from TrumpMobile.com stating he would receive an update when the phone shipped, despite never providing a shipping address or paying the full $499 price.

 
 

President Donald Trump has given himself a two-week deadline to decide whether or not the U.S. will attack Iran, but CNN points out that he’s given that exact same deadline many times before.

A supercut of his two-week pledges aired last month when host Kasie Hunt had already identified the president’s troubling habit of letting his deadlines lapse with no action. Karoline Leavitt was pressed on his repeated use of the same tactic Thursday after Trump promised to make a decision on Iran within two weeks.

 

Magic Tree House author Mary Pope Osborne, children’s poet Shel Silverstein and Calvin and Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson have joined Judy Blume, Sarah J. Maas, Eric Carle and Kurt Vonnegut on a mind-boggling list of hundreds of books purged from some Tennessee school libraries.

 
 

Why it matters: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is already $1 billion over budget by one estimate, with more than three months left in the fiscal year. That's alarmed lawmakers in both parties — and raised the possibility of Trump clawing funds from agencies to feed ICE.

 

Thursday’s Reuters/Ipsos survey featuring self-identified Democratic respondents found that about 62 percent backed the idea that party leadership should be replaced, while 24 percent did not support the idea, and 14 percent did not provide a response or did not know.

Recently, some Roblox players have been conducting virtual Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids. There have been Roblox players dressed as ICE agents that barged into other player’s houses. They have "arrested" a user hiding in his kitchen and chased down another player while conducting “Border Patrol” surveillance. Roblox ICE agents hunted down a young player in his Roblox home, banging his door down.

Tensions reached a boiling point, and last week — as thousands took to the streets to protest ICE in the offline world — Roblox players protested within the game, battling cops, breaking down barricades, waving Mexican flags, and facing off across a line of players dressed in police SWAT gear.

I watched all of Undead Unluck. There's just something about it that kept it at mid. Maybe because the male protag is so... shallow? Or maybe the lore never hit me?

When I explain the concept and read the wiki, it sounds awesome. Which is a shame, because it feels like it could have been a great series.

I came for the cooking. I stuck for the dungeon lore. I stayed because every character is a goofball.

It's trained on "Legacy media", filled with things like data and facts. NEW media is based on thoughts, feelings, anti-wokeness, and flipping around if "Pedo Trump and Epstein were besties" or if "Daddy Trump I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry".

Which I'm kinda glad they exist to:

  1. Test wacky things

  2. Be a punching bag for the jokes

What?! Lemme get outraged and blame the parents, then post some Facebook comments about how outraged I am!

Going to Tokyo and every toilet being a sing-along butt rinser made me realized western toilets are barbaric.

Great, now you made me think of Elon's mutilated dong.

Ugh.
