El Salvador offers Venezuela prisoner swap involving US deportees


El Salvador's president has offered to repatriate 252 Venezuelans deported by the US and imprisoned in his country - if Venezuela releases the same number of political prisoners.
Nayib Bukele appealed directly to Venezuelan President Nicolรกs Maduro in a post on social media.
He said many of the Venezuelan deportees had committed "rape and murder", while Venezuelan political prisoners were jailed only because they opposed Maduro, whose re-election last year is widely disputed.

The larger point remains, though. AI and data center energy and water use is surging, and we are only at the beginning of this whole thing. For years, data centers energy use stayed below 1% and we were told not to worry. In countries like Ireland, data center energy use is now already over 20%

new t-shirt design idea
large text reading "frankly, i don't really see the problem with greedy text justification." the text is split across four lines. the first three lines have their text justified; that is, the spaces between words are adjusted such that each line is the same length. the first two lines escape mostly unharmed, but the third line only contains two words ("greedy text"), necessitating a huge space between them, which makes the words difficult to read.

This is a black and white photograph depicting a quiet, foggy lakeside scene. The image is rich in atmosphere and mood, likely taken during late autumn. The foreground shows a dirt path along the edge of the water, with a cylindrical concrete structure on the right side, partially covered in graffiti. Bare tree branches hang down from the top and extend into the frame, some still holding on to the last few leaves. The still water reflects the leafless trees on the opposite bank, adding to the tranquil and slightly melancholic feeling of the scene. The fog softens the background, creating a dreamy, almost timeless quality to the photograph.

From the New York Times in 1854, referring to immigrants from Ireland. Spookily familiar.
time.com/6949581/irish-famine-โ€ฆ
We are being โ€œoverwhelmedโ€ as never before by migrants. Their sheer numbers, and the costs of housing and feeding them, has triggered an unprecedented crisis. Everywhere one looks, it seems, โ€œlazyโ€ newcomers congregate on street corners, in parks, and in front of shelters. They appear to have โ€œno plan, and no energy to form one.โ€ Rather than support themselves, they beg or steal or seek charity and government handouts. Many say that the (country) they know and love will be โ€œdestroyedโ€ unless the border is somehow sealed or the migrants can be sent elsewhere".

What We Can Learn from the Irish Famine Migrant Crisis

Americaโ€™s handling of the Irish Famine migrant crisis in the 1850s is a guide for immigration today.

YES ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Some of yโ€™all forget the reason we have food safety regulations is because companies used to do things like adding chalk to spoiled milk so it looked normal.

Regulations donโ€™t exist because governments enjoy them. They exist because pure unadulterated capitalism would kill us.
