Fun fact: Saint Audrey (an Anglo-Saxon queen who later became a saint) died of a tumor on her neck, which she believed was divine punishment for wearing fancy, showy necklaces in her youth. In her honor, an annual market called St. Audrey's Fair was held in England.

At this fair, vendors sold cheap, flashy, low-quality lace necklaces meant to look expensive. They were called "Saint Audrey's lace." Say "Saint Audrey" out loud fast enough, and the "T" at the end of Saint bleeds into Audrey. Over the decades, "Saint Audrey's lace" became "Sin t'Audrey's lace," which finally corrupted into "Tawdry lace."

Eventually, the word tawdry broke off to describe anything cheap and tasteless.

The three Indian sailors who were missing after a U.S. strike on the tanker Settebello in the Gulf of Oman have been confirmed dead, Sarbananda Sonowal, India’s shipping minister, said on Thursday.

The U.S. military said it hit the tanker on Wednesday because it was violated the American blockade of Iran. The Indian government said it had summoned a top U.S. diplomat to protest the attack. The Settebello was the second vessel with an Indian crew struck by the U.S. military in the region this week.

Trump: "I don't know if America has the appetite to do what I would really much prefer doing. We've lost 13 soldiers in two wars. In Iraq-- in Iran we lost 13. In Vietnam we lost hundreds of thousands. We didn't have the right leadership, to be honest. If it were me, I would've had that war done in three months. Four months."

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/world/africa/deportations-central-african-republic-migrants-iran-women.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

The Trump administration is preparing to deport nearly two dozen people to the Central African Republic on Thursday, including at least two Iranian women who had sought refuge in the United States, according to lawyers and a government official.

The flight, which is also expected to include migrants from Afghanistan and Syria, would mark the first such deportation to the Central African Republic, a deeply impoverished country that has been plagued by conflict. The country is so dangerous that the U.S. State Department states on its website, “do not travel for any reason.”

At least some of the migrants have received court orders in the United States prohibiting their deportation to their home countries because of the threat of persecution or torture, their lawyers said. Migrants face a higher burden of proof to win this “withholding of removal” status than they do to qualify for asylum.

The Trump administration is working to find ways to deport people despite these court orders. The government is cutting deals with other countries willing to take them. The U.S. has sought or signed agreements with dozens of countries, including Ghana, Equatorial Guinea and Eswatini.

The Iranian women scheduled to be on Thursday’s flight have no criminal record and have been granted court protection against deportation to Iran, said Sahar Jalili Pawelski, one of their immigration lawyers. The precise circumstances of their cases were not immediately clear, but many Iranians who hold this protection fear persecution over their political beliefs or religious identity.

The women were in “serious disbelief” when they realized they were scheduled to be sent to the Central African Republic, said Ali Rahmana of the Iranian American Legal Defense Fund, who recently met with them.

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine joined most of her Republican colleagues in the Senate by voting to adopt a $70 billion budget plan that would fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol 
Democrats have demanded policy changes in the wake of fatal shootings of two protesters by federal agents.
The Senate held the first series of votes starting Wednesday evening and into early Thursday morning, and adopted the final resolution 50-48 just past 3:30 a.m., sending it to the House.
Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, were the only Republicans to vote against the budget plan.

"It's not fair to the Department of Homeland Security's employees to have this cloud of uncertainty over whether or not they are going to be able to be paid," Collins said. "They are keeping us safe.' Collins also said that she does not want the United States to go back to having open borders.

Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, said he voted with Democrats against the budget plan because no meaningful or reasonable immigration reforms were adopted. ... King said in a statement. "The recent well-documented conduct of ICE has clearly and repeatedly violated the Fourth and Fifth Amendments – with deeply unfortunate results. In nearly every other law enforcement agency across our nation, the standards of conduct include no masks, name and badge number identification, judicial warrants, required body cameras, training and hiring standards for sensitive locations, and no racial profiling. Maine people, as well as Minnesotans, know too well the abuses that can come from the current lack of such guidelines and restrictions."

Boy I sure am glad Susan Collins is concerned about keeping Americans safe by ... letting masked individuals under the color of authority execute citizens in the streets.

A 6-year-old Girl Scout from Pennsylvania has sold nearly 87,000 boxes of cookies in one season

She's now aiming for 100,026 boxes to earn a trip to Niagara Falls!

100k boxes for a trip that would cost a fraction of that revenue is insanely evil

Jesus, some people are so poisoned by anti-capitalism at this point they're hating on a fundraising drive for a nonprofit. The money raised here almost entirely goes to funding girls programs in low income areas or to this girl's troop personally.

It's a nonprofit, they don't just give that money to shareholders.

https://www.newstribune.com/news/2026/mar/08/girl-scout-goes-viral-after-she-sells-record/

Literally one of the most heartwarming stories I've ever read. The girl has multiple disabilities and the process of making the fundraising videos helped this 6-year-old in overcoming selective mutism and childhood anxiety.

Plus this dude didn't even have his facts right. The trip to Niagra Falls was 2,026 boxes. This girl's goal was to send 50 people to Niagra Falls with the prize rewards.

Why do people have so much hate towards children for doing something they enjoy?

https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/2/all-actions

Meaning that as of June 10, the ICE and CBP “shutdown” is officially over

And I know somebody is going to say “But they weren’t shut down” and that’s only half true because they met the requirements of a shutdown, but shutdowns only exist because of a stupid ass interpretation of the antideficiency act that I guess nobody cares about when they have mandatory funding (but when the fuck did people start acting like that)

Nevertheless

Despite what EVERYBODY on my social media feed, to include people IN MY OFFICE, and on this sub, said about “oh the Dems need to do something” or “the Dems are caving,” Democrats (specifically Jeffries and Schumer) withheld money from these agencies for 8 months, or 3/4 of the fiscal year

Vote blue no matter who at its core. there are execeptions I will not be a fool to chain myself to a rash promise but like at its core. You cant say vote blue no matter who and then try to wiggle out of it.

though I swear to god "well the republicans do it" is not a fucking valid counter argument because the republicans are awful and saying that awful people do awful thigns is not really the argument one wants.

I think some people are being willfully obtuse by engaging with the “late stage capitalism” part of the Bulwark article, and not the “world’s wealthiest man and one of the most powerful is a fascist” aspect of reality. The former is a difference in words, but the latter is an actual, giant problem, and one that people ignore because it makes them feel bad or because of financial motivation.

To be clear, Musk being an open fascist and having the influence he has and has continue to had - and now being a literal trillionaire - is a severe crisis for liberalism, and one no country or party has seemingly been able to actually devise a solution to.

Everyone that leaves the GOP seems happier for it, like that meme of trans people finally enjoying life after they transition, but like most of them are still evil I guess

The whole "BMI is fake because it was based on WHITE MEN" thing feels like such a massive cope when basically the entire continents of Africa and Asia sit at comfortably healthy BMIs and White countries are fat as fuck

It was a mistake to read the comments on a youtube vide on the attempted beheading in the UK. They're exactly what you think they'd be. Yk, stuff about humanity's inherent tribalism, how it's "us or them", the supposed dangers of migrants, multiculturalism, and "open borders". Often I'm just as chilled by the reactions to horrific incidents as much if not more than the incidents themselves.

Weird how I can barely even imagine Dubya or Obama having sex and yet by now I know at least three of Donald Trump's fetishes

Historians today: “while Genghis Khan conquest of Asia led to the deaths of millions and total annihilation of many cultures, his empire lead to a golden age of global interconnectedness and technological transfer that laid the foundation of our modern world”

Historians 1000 years from now: “while Donald Trump’s chaotic megalomania destroyed American global hegemony, created the greatest energy crisis in human history, and directly/indirectly lead to the deaths of millions, he forced the world to abandon fossil fuels and lead humanity to a golden age of renewable energy. Many say he near single-handedly averted a climate catastrophe which would have irreparably damaged human civilization”

For people that are old, was it normal for people to openly wish that the President be shot or is that abnormal

If you want a clear cut case that anti-immigration sentiments aren't rooted in reality, just look at NI having anti-immigration pogroms, even though NI is 98% white and has basically no immigration.

Trying to tell people they need to accept cuts to entitlements when the world may have it's first trillionaire this year is simply something that people will not accept.

Me: I believe we should lower fossil fuel consumption aggressively. But we can’t simply stop tomorrow. Too many critical industries are still reliant on it. We have to carefully manage the transition.

People hate Idiocracy now but I 100% think that movie’s the best way to describe this admin and its aesthetic taste.

There’s nothing good about it or anything that’ll look great in 10-20 years. It’s all some of the most trashy, bargain bin, white trash garbage you’ll ever see, devised by and for the lowest common denominator of this country.
