Apparently now the sand inside these plush doorstops contains some asbestos, so maybe put on a respirator and gently stow them in an airtight plastic bag.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

Happy Halloween! I came up with this homophone cartoon/product idea during a discussion of cutlery over dinner.
Problems with Vampires? Try STAKE KNIVES by Van Helsing Cutlery. 18/10 Stainless steel blades, with sharpened fine rosewood stake handles, perfect for stabbing Vampires through the heart.

[A parody of MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD, in which the kindly Mr Rogers takes us to see local things in his town.]

[title]
MR ROGERS’ NEIGHBOURHOOD

MR ROGERS:

Hi there

2
Today, I’d like to take you to visit some of my neighbours… 

[He puts his coat on to leave his house]  

3
At a wonderful local event,
 
[We see the cute toy-town diorama of his village famous from the TV show. The camera pulls out…]

4
The Data Center protest.

[The camera has pulled out further and now we see a huge DATA CENTER at the edge  of town]. 

5
MR ROGERS [joining a crowd protesting outside the Data Center]:

The Data Center is an enormous, windowless, endlessly humming building outside of our town

6
…Which has tripled energy prices, drank all the water, and created four jobs.

7
[to camera, as if kindly explaining to the viewing children]:

Four jobs! Golly!

8
LADY PROTESTOR [probably NAOMI KLEIN, holding a sign]:

In a way, the Data Center is kind of a vivid metaphor for a future we feel locked out of!

9
MR ROGERS [to camera again]:

A metaphor.

10
That’s something that lets us clarify our feelings about something else. 

11
LADY PROTESTOR:
How do you feel, Mr Rogers?

MR ROGERS:
I feel like bringing down the government!

12
MR ROGERS [now holding a sign and protesting]:

It’s good to have neighbors.

"The Methuselah Enzyme" (1970) by Fred Mustard Stewart is a 274-page Twilight Zone episode. Don't reveal the shock ending! Which is a metaphor for vampirism, the classic fictional cure for old age; Rich people steal youth from the young, relevant in today's reign of rich creeps. 3 stars. #review

A lot of people said a lot of things about the ineffectiveness of production limitations for generating greenhouse gas reductions and speeding up renewable adoption for the past decade which were clearly false. May "keynesianism means we have to keep building oil and gas infrastructure" finally die

I hope the press NEVER covers the moronic LIES that spew from Dump's slurring face hole. The sanewashing stenography that currently passes for journalism only HARMS the public good. Please, report on Dump's actions and outcomes. Report on the forever war, the endless corruption; the lives lost.

"Kelwin" (1970) by Neal Barrett, Jr. gets its fantasy chocolate in my sf peanut butter with swashbuckling intrigue in a postapocalyptic future with cowboy action, where common 20th-century fixtures are priceless ancient artifacts. The action rolls along, characters forgettable. 3 stars. #review

"Wine Ghost Goes to Hell" by Sage Coffey is a surreal romp in Hell about a hot mess of a lady. She helps a recently-dead friend look for an apartment. She discovers and remembers, she talks with a kindly she-devil, and [SPOILERS] she takes her power back. Apt for current world. 4 stars. #review

Nobody says it, but many software interfaces are successful because they require less typing. C's terse {} = Less typing than Pascal's begin & end syntax. Many Unix commands are 2 characters long. And now there is Markdown format. Less typing = shorter turnaround & less carpal tunnel stress.

"Fuzzy Nation" (2011) by John Scalzi reimagines "Little Fuzzy" by H. Beam Piper as a sci-fi legal thriller against an evil corporation. The 368pp fly by, but it lacks the tenderness of "Little Fuzzy". Relevent today, when only the Judicial Branch of government works. 4 stars. #review

The ICE raids and cruelty we are seeing inflicted on children are unacceptable.

The federal government has stripped legal representation from hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children. Many will soon face an impossible choice: navigate our immigration system alone or risk detention and deportation.

Our city is stepping up. We've invested $16.9 million in immigration legal services for unaccompanied children, with another $32 million in this year's immigration legal services budget, including rapid-response legal advice and representation for people in detention.

If you need immigration legal support, we're here to help. Our free, confidential Immigration Legal Support Hotline is available in your preferred language, regardless of immigration status.
