This is not a joke. This is a canal cam in the Netherlands. If you see a fish on the cam, press the doorbell. This lets the lock keeper know that fish need to be let through to continue their journey to spawn. Being kind does not cost anything. Thank you.

Did you spot a fish? Press the Fish Doorbell! This alerts our lock operator to let the fish through. The Fish Doorbell is in Utrecht, NL.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

For I think the first time in my life, I will be eating at a restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner. (The Air Force chow hall - er, "dining facility" - doesn't count.)
I will be tipping generously, because I know that the people preparing & serving my food would rather be at home with their families.

@kenwhite.bsky.social Is it a good thing when a Federal judge is named as a witness in a contempt hearing?
BREAKING: In Judge Boasberg's contempt inquiry, Plaintiffs include Emil Bove, now a Third Circuit judge, on their list of potential witnesses. Others include Erez Reuveni and Drew Ensign—both of whom Boasberg mentioned as likely witnesses—and Yaakov Roth, a senior official in DOJ's Civil Division.
