DHS: Filming Cops, ICE Officers Is a 'Violent Tactic'

DHS: Filming Cops, ICE Officers is A ‘Violent Tactic’ from the accountability-is-the-ultimate-threat dept The DHS has been hyping assault stats for weeks, making it sound like there’s an actual war on ICE officers. The reality was much more underwhelming: the 700% increase touted in press releases reflected a mere 69 more assaults on officers than during the same period in 2024. Hardly worth remarking on, especially since ICE enforcement activities have exponentially exploded during the same t

TikTok is testing its own version of Instagram’s ‘broadcast channels’

Fixing the mechanics of my bullet chess

I’ve been playing chess a long time now, and I’ve always been a good deal better (maybe a couple hundred ELO points) at blitz (3+0 or 5+0) than bullet (1+0). Well, I may have just fixed that. I changed how I move pieces this afternoon and have gained about 100 ELO already. When I play on a computer, I usually drag-and-drop pieces. But it turns out you can also move pieces by clicking first on your piece and then the target square. An analysis of my recent games indicates this shift saved me abou
