It's possible that conservative donors are gonna look and go "This was too useful to fall into the hands of the libs", but also possible that they consider Jones to be toxic by now and that they can do without him. Especially with the price tag that high.

The WRAP’s manufacturer says it intended the device to be a lifesaver for law enforcement confronting erratic people who were physically attacking officers or harming themselves.

But ICE officials have a much lower threshold for deploying the WRAP than the manufacturer advises, the AP found. Detainees interviewed by the AP said ICE officers used the restraints on them after they had been shackled.

Rare storm drenches Los Angeles, prompts flash flood watches and evacuation warnings
The National Weather Service said tornadoes, flooding, and "debris flows" are possible in areas torched by the January wildfires.

“Rare” because we don’t normally get a storm this powerful and this cold in October. This is a storm we’d normally get January/February

My coworker’s cousin got held up coming through customs after an international trip because her US passport said her place of birth was San Juan, PR. The CBP officer didn’t know that people from Puerto Rico are US citizens. She had to demand to speak with a supervisor and almost missed a connecting domestic flight.

bc yeah... we are gonna see deep fakes like CRAZY.
Exacerangutan
...but it's not actually novel, and more than visiting a different website is novel. I mean I get that things can be popular without being good, but the popularity usually comes from something, some desire previously unsatisfied or association with something nostalgic, whatever. But????

But yeah I expect gross deepfakes are gonna be the 1 use by far.
