Maybe we'll call this news tidbit the 'Delaney Diversion'. Detainees at Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration jail said guards were denying them food and fresh water on Thursday until they signed documents presented to them in English that they did not understand. In an audio recording of a telephone call to an immigration advocacy group heard by the Guardian, more than half a dozen detainees alleged that the water given to them over the last three days was “rotten” and containing mosquito larvae, in an apparent attempt to pressure them to sign.
During the call, all the detainees identified themselves by name and the section and cage number they are being held in. “They took all the water, and they don’t want to give us water,” one detainee said in the call to a representative of the Workers Circle, an advocacy group that has acted as a liaison between detainees and their families.
Hey - ya fuckin' crybaby - yer a fuckin' criminal. Get over it. It ain't the Ritz Carlton - it's a jail.

Celebrity children identify as trans and non-binary at unbelievable rates. Charlize Theron, Cynthia Nixon, Robert De Niro, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony - whose 18-year-old recently debuted a new name, changing from Emme to Oskar - are just a few of the stars with children who aren’t living as their birth sex.
There’s nothing wrong with being trans - except for the fact that they are denying their own genetics, but that's no big, right? But such an unlikely concentration in a particular community should be cause for pause - especially when so many of these kids began playing with gender at shockingly young ages.
In a geography where having a trans child has a tinge of chicness to it, one has to wonder: Is this partially due to social contagion? And, if so, don’t parents have a duty to their children to approach the issue of gender with compassionate skepticism?
The explanation is simple. It's the land of make believe - a place where the most famous of them spend their lives pretending to be someone else. It's surprising more of their kids aren't as fucked up as they are. Juss' sayin'...

Ben McIntyre, 71, had guided hunters in the Adirondacks for 50 years. He could read a track in leaf litter and call a buck with a birch bark tube. In the fall of 1927, his eyesight was failing from cataracts. His son, Will, 28, took him out for one last hunt. Will did the walking. Ben did the listening. They sat on a ridge all morning. Ben could not see the deer Will pointed to. He could hear it move.
Will whispered, “Take the shot, Pa.”
Ben raised his old .32 Special, held it a long time, then lowered it. He said, “I don’t need to kill it to know it’s there.” They sat until dusk. Ben told stories about hunts from the 1880s, about a time he got lost for three days and lived on partridge berries. On the hike out, Ben stumbled. Will carried his rifle.
Ben died that winter in his sleep. Will never hunted that ridge again. He told his own son, “Your grandpa taught me that the best part of hunting is coming home with the same number of shells you left with.” Will kept Ben’s birch bark call on his mantel. It cracked with age, but he never threw it away.

The remaining three correspondents at “60 Minutes” huddled this week to discuss their futures following the firing of Scott Pelley as former star Steve Kroft warned that the iconic newsmagazine “no longer exists” in the form viewers have known for decades.
Bill Whitaker, Lesley Stahl and Jon Wertheim met Wednesday for more than an hour amid growing turmoil at CBS News following Pelley’s ouster and the sweeping shakeup orchestrated by CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weissy. The meeting came just hours after The Post reported that CBS insiders believed Whitaker and Stahl could be the next high-profile departures from the program.

The average person eats about six times as much chicken and twice as much pork as their grandparents’ generation did, data from a UN report suggests, with global meat supply having risen fourfold in the last 60 years and expected to keep rising.
The supply of poultry rose from below 7lbs a person in 1961 to 24lbs in 2025, according to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Pork supply doubled to 32lbs a person over the same period, while beef, the most polluting food, stayed steady at 20lbs.

Today, it is one of the only places in the eastern United States where wild American bison and Spanish horses roam free on public land.
The bison were reintroduced in 1975. The horses are descendants of animals brought to Florida by Spanish explorers in the 1500s. You can see both from the La Chua Trail overlook at dawn or dusk — no fence, no zoo, no tour bus.
William Bartram, the naturalist who traveled through Florida in 1774, described Paynes Prairie as "the great Alachua Savanna" and called it one of the most extraordinary landscapes in North America. He was right. It still is.
