The problem is that it has given me no reason to care<\/em> about possessing a short understanding<\/a> of where early Venice came from. \u201cThere are lots of cities out there\u2014so what<\/em>?\u201d No matter what material the author might cover after this historical background introduction, only the most dedicated readers will make it that far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Signal network<\/a> erupted. Using a red phone emoji to signal an all-points alert, a message blasted out: “?? easy. URGENT: observers urgently requested at glam doll donuts @ 26th & nicollet [sic]. an observer has been shot by ice, unknown condition, emts [emergency medical technicians] present, please be safe. EDIT: medics requested to join perimeter in case agents start gassing. be aware there are many agents and mpd [Minneapolis Police Department] officers present.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One unlikely beneficiary has been the British Overseas Territory of Anguilla<\/a>, which lucked into a future fortune when ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, gave the island the \u201c.ai\u201d top-level domain in the mid-1990s. Indeed, since ChatGPT\u2019s launch at the end of 2022, the gold rush for websites to associate themselves with the burgeoning AI technology has seen a flood of revenue for the island of just ~15,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vimeo stock IPO\u2019d at $52, and within a year, lost<\/a> 85% of its value, trending down to just $8.42 by the end of May 2022. As we entered 2022, many states and localities had started easing up on lockdown restrictions, which hurt not just Vimeo, but many other tech companies as well. By the end of the summer of 2022, the tech sector had entered an unspoken recession, encasing the carnage at Vimeo in a cement tomb that it\u2019d never be able to break free from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can trace all the funding mechanisms<\/a> you want, but at the end of the day, the trail will end at the CIA\/NED\/USAID’s doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I\u2019m trying to say is, the same way Americans need to visit the world and find meaning<\/a>, we need them to come, to flood us like some contrast liquid and give us meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hillary says she has \u201cabsolutely no support<\/a>” for cities that don\u2019t listen to DHS on deportations: Regarding Kathryn Kate Steinle.<\/a> More<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jumpers<\/a> will arrive Feb. 1 and stay with the family through Feb. 10. The Slovenians will return to Westby after jumping in the Norge tournament near Chicago. \u201cThey have several other tournaments in the U.S. after the Snowflake tournament, but they wanted to come right back to Westby in between and we are excited to have an extra few days with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boy who cried wolf<\/a> is a cautionary tale about false alarms. But there\u2019s another version of that story: the village that was so conditioned to ignore warnings that they didn\u2019t notice when the wolf actually showed up. Look at the evidence. Draw your own conclusions. And if those conclusions match mine, then we have work to do\u2014and the time to start is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the adventurous, the answer is: today<\/strong>. Both MapLibre<\/a> GL JS and MapLibre Native now support MLT sources. You can use the new encoding<\/code><\/a> property on sources in your style JSON with a value of mlt<\/code> for MLT vector tile sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, Christians must not be intimidated by the vitriol of our opponents. These are dark and serious times for the church in America, but we must remember that we are blessed<\/a> when others revile us and when they lie about us (Matthew 5:11-12). In this life, we will have enemies because Christ Himself has enemies. Such opposition is not a sign of failure, but an invitation to greater faithfulness. The enemy\u2019s tactics are not new, and they cannot stop the advance of Christ\u2019s church. The darkness cannot overcome the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there was one last hope to save the team. In December, a group of Buffalo businessmen, key leaders in the community, came to Sonju with a proposal: If we sell 2,000 more season tickets for the remainder of the season<\/a>, will John Y. Brown promise to keep the Braves in Buffalo? Sonju asked Brown; Brown said yes. A massive 30-day blitz began, with the Buffalo bigwigs knocking on doors and holding out their hats. All they needed was 2,000 season tickets to save the Braves. They sold less than 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then comes the Palisades<\/a> fire and guess what? The insurance companies are now suing the Government of California because they think California should pay\u2026not them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NTSB has released an animation<\/a> reconstructing the final three minutes before the midair collision near Washington D.C., illustrating what each crew could\u2014and couldn\u2019t\u2014see at night and why see-and-avoid measures failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Jan. 5, Walz shocked the political world by suddenly \u2014 and angrily \u2014 dropping his re-election bid, connecting his decision directly to the attacks he\u2019d sustained, starting with the recent wave of fraud<\/a> coverage. According to Axios<\/a><\/em>, it was actually \u201cfellow Democrats\u201d who applied the \u201cmounting pressure\u201d that forced the governor\u2019s hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Football<\/a> is a purely mediated experience, even when there is no media involved. It\u2019s not just that you can see a game better when you watch it on television. Television is the only way you can see it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“DO NOT make the mistake President Biden made for not firing a grossly incompeten<\/a>t DHS Secretary.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal favorite feature is the Pay Now button. Because I have the data of the city and the associated payment subdomain<\/a>, you theoretically could pay someone\u2019s parking ticket for them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City of Oakland managed by clowns<\/a>. Imagine in 2013: new venues for the A’s, Raiders and Warriors. 2026: Everyone left, and nobody even wants to buy the emptied out husk of land. Local elections matter. Pay attention to local elections and hold your local leaders to account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also a good example of what their proponents have labelled \u201cgentle density<\/a>\u201d, offering five or six storeys of space-efficient housing, laden with attractive and practical period features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oliver would get up before dawn and use small fish colloquially known as poagies to lure lobsters from her boat, the Virginia, which was first owned by her late husband. As she established a remarkable 97-year tenure on the waters, and word of it spread, she became the subject of documentaries, major US television networks\u2019 news stories and children\u2019s books, including one titled The Lobster Lady<\/a>, her obituary recounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times writes about Jacob Savage\u2019s viral @compactmag essay without naming Savage, mentioning Compact, or providing a link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s be clear: I left him over $8 BILLION in reserves<\/a>. This is the same Mamdani who spent years attacking me for not spending enough during the migrant crisis. The only reason those reserves exist is because I ignored him and his socialist comrades who demanded we blow billions more with no guardrails. \u201cFree\u201d isn\u2019t free. It\u2019s just a bill someone else has to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the aftermath of Minnesota’s Signal networks being exposed<\/a>, a ripple effect has surged through activist circles, prompting rapid organization in states hungry to fortify their “defenses” against ICE. Seattle’s groups, for instance, have ramped up encrypted recruitment, drawing from MN’s exposed tactics to create tighter vetting processes and decentralized “response pods” that activate within minutes of raids. Illinois follows suit, with chats buzzing about mirrored databases for agent tracking, now layered with anonymity tools to evade scrutiny. Even in corners like Texas and California, pop-up networks echo the model, blending local intel with national coordination to disrupt deportations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delusional<\/a> optimism is a secret to success<\/a>. People who overestimate their chances work harder and persist longer. Even against the odds, that extra persistence turns failures into wins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
