Seeing the video of the agents on top of this guy, and them punching him in the face while he's planted against the pavement, it's really hard not to think that's where we're headed. The piss-poor treatment this man's purportedly received according to his one son since being taken into custody though just further roils me. Heard him on TV saying his dad still had blood on his shirt and his injuries hadn't been treated at all. His father told him he was being held in like a cage with like 60 other people with just a single toilet and they were barely receiving and food or water. What they're doing to these people is just freaking barbaric! It's third world shit. It's no wonder they're blocking members of congress from having unannounced access to these holding facilities.

Mowed the lawn this evening and even with the sun mostly down I think I still sweated out nearly a gallon. Felt good though. Fortunately, heat doesn't really bother me that much.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/us/politics/iran-nuclear-sites.html A preliminary classified U.S. report says the American bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites sealed off the entrances to two of the facilities but did not collapse their underground buildings, according to officials familiar with the findings. The early findings conclude that the strikes over the weekend set back Iran’s nuclear program by only a few months, the officials said. Before the attack, U.S. intelligence agencies had said that if Iran tried to rush to making a bomb, it would take about three months. After the U.S. bombing run and days of attacks by the Israeli Air Force, the report by the Defense Intelligence Agency estimated that the program was delayed less than six months. The report also said much of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was moved before the strikes, which destroyed little of the nuclear material. Some of that may have been moved to secret nuclear sites maintained by Iran. Some Israeli officials said they also believe that Iran has maintained small covert enrichment facilities that were built so the Iranian government could continue its nuclear program in the event of an attack on the larger facilities. Officials cautioned that the five-page classified report is only an initial assessment, and others will follow as more information is collected and as Iran examines the three sites at Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. One official said that the reports people in the administration had been shown were “mixed” but that more assessments were yet to be done. No wonder they jumped on the ceasefire declaration Trump threw out there. If this turns out to be true, we could have just boxed ourselves into a really bad situation.

A 50,000-Year-Old Block of Ice Paints the Most Chilling Picture of the Future Ever Well, if you need something to cool off, this article is rather chilling. Just not in a good way.

Unfortunately, sounds like ICE will just detain and try to deport him once again even if he gets released by the court. Of course the government already appealed this ruling, but the judge already acknowledged given the circumstances it's little more than an academic exercise what the court determines regarding his detention. Makes me wonder why they even bothered filing charges against him, but then I know it's just all just a show to them to try and save some face from having to give in and bring him back at all. Just stomach turning how they've used this case to make a complete mockery of the court system and turned this man's life into a sad spectacle.

Master Roshi's lucky he got turned back into a kid. It's probably the only thing that saved him tonight.

Usually there's a victory feast after like every big arc, but is there even any food left in the kingdom anymore? Where's Luffy gonna get all his meat from? Shit, that's it? Whole episode was just Gyats trying to state the obvious and everybody flashing back some. Ah well, hopefully next episode will give us some actual new stuff.

About as long as it's taking Gyatts to announce the winner.

Now it's time for God Usopp to miraculously restore the kingdom with his incredible power. Pffft! Yeah right.

"When I'm done, nothing will remain!" Yeah, of your face. LOL

Reviving the dead?! Old man's a freaking necromancer.

I would think warriors who's minds have mastered using their bodies' energy in so many different ways wouldn't have all that much trouble adjusting to a change in their size. I get that their total amount of power would be reduced some, but as long as their minds are the same, they should still be able to fight just about the same.

Piccolo eating his words... and some bark to go with it.

LOL Bulma's right. Krillin doesn't look all that different than usual.

LMAO He stiffed him on the other two wishes. Only for his regulars. Go Shenron!

They did, and could have it in a world run by rational thinking adults, like we had during the Obama administration. Once his deal got scrapped, it only made sense for them to not trust us anymore and think their best option was to ramp up enrichment and move towards developing a nuclear weapon as a deterrent to preserve their regime. Sadly, I believe they were probably getting pretty close to a nuke and there's a really good chance if they got one they would use it at some point on Israel. Thing is we'll never know what the state of their nuclear program really was because some numbskull screwed up the deal and our ability to verify anything. Always stamping out experts and truth, always creating doubt and fear whenever and wherever possible... I know he only really did it to try and erase any and all accomplishments of President Obama that he could, cuz his racist little peen couldn't stand that he was actually loved and seen as having been very successful by an actual majority of Americans, but it's totally in line with his greater M.O. when you think about it. Once the light of truth is extinguished, makes it easy for them to make up whatever reality they want. The seeds of this situation were planted long ago, and now the warmongering Netanyahu's just taking advantage of the whole situation. Trump's given him a blank check and he's to no surprise cashing it in now by maneuvering him into dropping these bombs. Violence always begets more violence though, and it's just a matter of time before we pay a price for this I believe. Even if we have them backed into the proverbial corner, I really doubt Iran is just going to fold. At some point, in some way, they'll be striking back cuz it's just human nature.

Watched the Star Trek Discovery spinoff movie Section 31. I'm surprised they didn't make this into a series and went the movie route. Looks like originally they had planned it as a series, but decided to change it up at some point. Anyway, fun cast of characters, great action. Michelle Yeoh is still a total badass. Hope they bring her character Georgiou back once again in some way or another.

The tweet DHS sent out claims they arrested him for assaulting law enforcement. I mean seriously, WTF! He was simply standing there, and they come pushing people aside and go grab him. It's not just that they think the law doesn't matter anymore... apparently they don't think reality matters anymore either, even when it's all caught on camera for people to plainly see.

Yeah, I'll say. That'd be just way too convenient. I don't even want to think about how that could even work. That just feels like way too much for any devil fruit power. Sounds more like just pure magic really.

Given no one had any place else left to be, where all that debris is falling is where everyone should have to be really. But of course, somehow everyone will be fine or come away with just a little dust on them and maybe a couple scratches here or there. LOL

There go the glasses. Ah yeah!
