I like apples. I post photos. I dig birds. I write books. (One of those is THE CALAMITIES, out now.) Yes, I'm cringe. What do you want from me, I'm a 50-year-old dad and my brain is a mouse-eaten shoebox.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

this is so bleak, actually imagine being called a slur for a group you don't even belong to and instead of going "wow holy shit, no one should have to put up with that, we need to hold people to account," you go "no guys it's okay I hate them too!!!" and just hand the bully your lunch money

Universities bring in foreign students ... to undercut the wages of American residents? What? This is exactly backwards. Foreign students subsidize the tuition of American students. I wonder why the VP who follows Nazis online has this all wrong. Probably an innocent, non-racist mistake.

Also, I want to highlight this part of the case for all the pilots and avgeeks out there. I’ve heard ICE is doing this with manifests from a number of sources, but this is, as far as I know, the first confirmation. Really shows the complicity of the pilot-in-command. This was an Omni flight.
In the latest court filing, ICE officials did not deny any of his claims, and appeared to confirm at least one of them, saying the charter flight's manifest—a printed receipt given to pilots listing all passengers and crew on a flight—
"served as the travel document."

Probably obvious, but a lot of publishing people think the rapid fall in nonfiction sales is primarily due to AI. Makes sense when you remember how popular self-help type are and how many people will now, say, ask ChatGPT for child rearing advice instead of buying How to Raise a Kid books.

Oh, I'm sure! Definitely a classic apple. Early 1800s, I think? A lot of great apples have come from Cox's being a parent -- but honestly, I just love the OG

So, fun story -- they are widely available, they're just called Rave apples. My understanding is that the only difference is where they're grown. If grown in Minnesota, they're a First Kiss. Elsewhere, Rave.

The irony of this being in Wired🥲 Good article, though I’m not sure I can fully trust its ultimate conclusion (not just because of the inbuilt bias but also because I worked with a grad student who researched this very question last year, and came to somewhat different conclusions)

AAAAAAPPLES. (My favorite variety, er, varies, obviously. Grocery store apple would be a Cosmic Crisp. Heirloom, I’d say Cox’s Orange Pippin. Overall though, GoldRush is the goat.)
