New York is hitting Amish families with more than $118,000 in fines over vaccine requirements, and a federal appeals court just sided with the state again. 💉

These are Amish families living in their own communities, following religious beliefs and traditions they’ve practiced for generations. They’re not asking the government for anything. They just want to be left alone.

What makes this even crazier is that the 2019 measles outbreak that helped push New York to eliminate its religious exemption wasn’t even connected to these Amish communities.

Now these families are facing six-figure fines for refusing to go against their religious beliefs.

If religious freedom doesn’t protect you when your beliefs conflict with the government, what exactly does it protect?

Seems I kicked a hornets nest saying I didn't care if people pirated my games - let me explain something.

Early on (when I didn't know shit decades ago) I was really upset by it "ER MAH GERD! People are STEALING my work I busted my ass on! I'm gonna starve and go broke!"

Sure... lots of my games got pirated. Literally every game does to an extent.

- but here is what happened in my case. My freaking games are good. How do I know? They sold really well and the pirating spread the word, friends tell friends, people buy its that simple. No press is bad press.

Of course you get people who never pay. Thats just part of the game. Thats life. They weren't going to buy anyway.

However LOTS DO. Loooooooooots do. Especially if they had fun.

How do I know? Because fool, I lost count over how many professional games I have shipped past 30 something. Nearly all of them sold over a million copies or more. There is 10s and 10s of millions of games sold I worked on. I lived it.

If you want me to bet on me crying like a little punkass about pirating "but its WRONG!!!!" or leaning into and putting trust into the people that play and enjoy my games - I am going to pick gamers every fucking time.

They NEVER have let me down. EVER.

Well - once. But that was James Patterson's Womens Murder Club on the Nintendo DS. That game was a piece of shit and I'm sorry. Nobody gets it right 100% of the time.

🚨 WNBA STORY NOBODY SHOULD BE IGNORING:

Caitlin Clark: 37 POINTS, 10 ASSISTS, 8 THREES.

Kelsey Mitchell: 30 POINTS, 6 THREES.

The Fever dropped 113 on Chicago and officially sent the Sky packing from playoff contention.

But here’s the CRAZY part…

Clark now has FIVE career games with 30+ points and 10+ assists.

THE REST OF THE WNBA — IN ITS ENTIRE HISTORY — HAS FOUR COMBINED.

Read that again.

They told us she was just hype.

The “hype” is rewriting the damn record book. 🔥🏀

[HeroOfTheDay @Hero_OfThe_Day]

The cold, hard truth about the “record-setting” performance by Angel Reese (watch until the end).

- FG% barely higher than rebound total
- Went 4-14, Missed 10 shots in the paint
- 8 missed layups
- Blocked 5 times by Cameron Brink
- Threw elbows all game, no whistles
- Threw hissy fits all game — No tech
- Yelled at teammates
- Rebound total tainted: Many uncontested, off her own misses, she pushed off, when beat for rebounds she flopped and got a whistle

There’s never been a more insufferable and manufactured “Star” in the history of basketball.

[City of Tempe, AZ @Tempegov]

Tempe has turned off its Flock automated license plate reader system and will end its contract with the company. The cameras are no longer collecting license plate data, and Tempe will not seek another company to replace the system.

While the cameras have helped Tempe Police solve crimes, recent misuse of automated license plate reader systems in Arizona and nationwide has raised concerns about the risks that come with the technology.

Tempe Police has found no misuse of its own Flock system.

Flock will remove its cameras, and previously collected data will be automatically deleted after 30 days unless it is connected to an ongoing case or investigation.

Read through the slides to learn more about the decision and what it means for Tempe.

They’ll fine you because a microphone decided your car was too loud.

They’ll dispatch cops because an aerial scan found a backyard shed that wasn’t in the database.

They’ll build a searchable record of every church, clinic, gun store, protest and political meeting you visit.

They’ll identify you through street cameras and dispatch police without ever asking your name.

The police state of the future will be contactless: no checkpoint, no inspector, no conversation - just a camera, an algorithm, and an automatic penalty.

Every new power will be sold as “efficiency.”

Keep pushing against it.

If not, freedom will be the inefficiency they eliminate.

Either a medieval forger invented a technology we still cannot reproduce in 2026, or the most famous event in history left physical evidence behind. Science has spent a century looking for a third answer, and never found one...

It is called the Shroud of Turin, a strip of linen about fourteen feet long, and on it is the faint image of a bearded man, front and back, marked head to foot with the wounds of a crucifixion.

Believers say it wrapped the body of Christ, while skeptics say it is a clever medieval fake. What most people don't know is how genuinely strange it becomes the closer you look...

For centuries the cloth showed only a dim brown shadow. Then in 1898 an amateur photographer named Secondo Pia took the first photograph of it, and in his darkroom he froze: the negative was not a blur, it was a clear, lifelike, portrait of a man.

The image on the cloth behaves like a photographic negative, five hundred years before photography existed. No one has ever explained how a medieval forger could have conceived of such a thing, let alone produced it.

But it gets stranger.

When American scientists, the STURP team, examined the Shroud directly in 1978, they found no paint, no dye, no pigment, and no brushstrokes. The image is not painted onto the cloth. It exists only on the very outermost surface of the fibers, a scorch-like discoloration a fraction of a micron deep.

They ran five days of tests and left with the same conclusion everyone since has reached: they could not say how the image was made. To this day, no reproduced technique fully accounts for it.

Many suspect the image was made by a sudden burst of radiation, because that is the only thing anyone has found that comes close. When Italian scientists at ENEA, the national research agency, spent five years trying to recreate it, they managed a faint, shroud-like coloration only with bursts of ultraviolet light from lasers that did not exist until the twentieth century. And to reproduce the full image across an entire body, they calculated, would take a flash of ultraviolet power on the order of thirty-four trillion watts, more than any light source ever built can produce.

Then there is the body: the wounds are anatomically correct in ways a medieval artist would have gotten wrong. The nails go through the wrists, not the palms, which is how Roman crucifixion actually worked, and which contradicts almost every medieval painting of the cross, where the nails pierce the hands. There are scourge marks across the back, puncture wounds around the scalp like a crown of thorns, and a wound in the side. The stains have been identified as real human blood, and pollen and dust on the cloth have been linked to the region around Jerusalem.

However, in 1988 three respected laboratories, at Oxford, Zurich, and Arizona, carbon-dated a sample of the cloth, and the result seemed decisive: the linen dated to between 1260 and 1390, right around the time the Shroud first appears in the historical record. On this evidence the case looked closed: the man of the cloth could not be Jesus.

But it did not stay closed...

Critics pointed out that the sample had been cut from a single corner, an edge handled and repaired over centuries, and later analysis found cotton and traces of a dye-and-binder coating there, present nowhere else on the cloth, suggesting the tested patch was a medieval mend rather than the original linen. Then in 2022 a team using a new X-ray technique measured the aging of the flax itself and reported that its molecular breakdown matched cloth around two thousand years old, not seven hundred. That study is disputed, and it is not the final word. But it means the date is no longer settled as the world was told in 1988.

And that is the whole problem: with everything we know today, we should be able to say plainly what this thing is and make another one. We cannot. After more than a century as the most examined object in history, the Shroud of Turin has not been explained...

Whatever you believe, you come away with the same unanswerable question the image asks of everyone who looks at it: is this a forgery so far ahead of its time that it is a miracle in itself, or is it not a forgery at all?

Think about. How many NFL players have long dreads hanging out from their helmets? And yet - in a full contact sport full of questionable hits, holding, etc. - I have NEVER seen someone descend to the level of yanking the other guy’s hair. Ever.

[Jr Moore @JrMoorev3]

@DianaVilliers1 I believe in the NFL, long hair is considered part of the uniform , which is legal. What she’s doing is not legal, she’s just trying to hurt people, because she’s an asshole.

The American economy has a customer problem.

Here's what happens when everything gets too expensive:

People stop fixing the car.

They stop eating out.

They stop shopping.

They delay buying the house.

They keep the old phone.

They cancel the vacation.

They cut everything that can possibly be cut.

Eventually businesses discover something important:

Your customers need money too.

You cannot extract every available dollar from the middle class and then act surprised when nobody has anything left to spend.
