U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty, a Trump appointee, said the child — identified in court papers by the initials “V.M.L.” — appeared to have been released in Honduras earlier Friday, along with her Honduran-born mother and sister, who had been detained by immigration officials earlier in the week

Lawyers for the guardian told the court that V.M.L.’s father had been attempting to contact the girl’s mother to discuss plans for their child but ICE officials denied him the chance to have a substantive phone call. He says ICE allowed the two to speak for about one minute on Tuesday, while the mother was in ICE custody, but that they were unable to make any meaningful decisions about their child.

"The guardian" in that quoted paragraph refers to a friend of the girl's father, who he sent to pick up his daughter from the ICE detention center

Does someone have recommendations for cargo shorts? I need new ones for the upcoming summer. Everything I find are shorts without additional pockets and/or they are to short, I like mine at knee length. Thank you!

Hey there,

I'm from Germany and I'm looking for a FOSS Stock/ETF price tracking app (primarily for Android, but a web app would be nice, too). Having to self-host something would be fine....

I just want to be able to open the app, see that something went down by X% the last day and y% the last week... Very simple...

I'm currently using "OnVista" and had used "finanzen.net", but they are both not open source and contains ads and stuff I don't want to see.

What are you using? I heard that Yahoo finance is popular in the USA?

But is there actually a good FOSS solution?

OP: @paranormaldatabase@mastodonapp.uk

Irish folklore, like the island itself, is littered with tales of earth mounds known as fairy forts.

The ancient ringforts date back to the Iron Age and have long been entwined with tales of the Aos Sí—supernatural beings from Irish mythology often equated with fairies.

Like many of Ireland's mythological creatures, including the banshee (meaning 'woman of the fairy mound' or 'fairy woman'), many stories of fairy forts have been passed down through generations of Irish people.

Many of these stories warn against the disturbing of fairy forts, as they are believed to be portals to the otherworld.

I've been keeping an eye on the github and the board and it doesn't seem to be moving that much. We're nearly halfway through 2025 and I thought the plan was for Wayland to be supported on cinnamon early 2026.

Wondered if anyone had any more insight into progress/blockers/delays

I normally grow things like pioppino, lions mane and oysters, this is my first time growing a polypore. It took a long time, many months haha. I think this was inoculated back in november and I just got around to fruiting a few weeks ago. Lots of spore samples to put under the microscope, let me tell you.

Federal employee pension benefits are set to be pared back in Republicans’ giant tax and spending package working its way through the US House, another slap at a workforce roiled by Elon Musk’s cost-cutting efforts.

Normally when you need to wait at a crossing because it's red you take out your phone to waste some time. But you have to be quite anxious and look up if it's already green or not, otherwise you miss the green light.

But they help you out with that here in Korea by building in the traffic light into the curb. You're looking down on your phone and see the red line left and right of it. Once it changes to green you immediately are aware of it because it's in your field of view constantly.

Great invention!

I took the background picture just outside and put the stock picture hands with a phone on top of it so you can easier visualize it how it looks like in reality.
