At least one of them is real, unfortunately . . . a man who was mauled to death over the weekend after he jumped into a tiger enclosure at an animal sanctuary in the UK. Anyway, I still can't believe people voted for him the first time, yet we're here 10 years later letting him terrorize us daily.

I often don't look at the author's name when choosing a book, so I guess that's how "gendered" my reading is. And is violence the masculine "theme" here? He should have just chosen "Blood Meridian" like he probably wanted to.

How on Earth did they obtain a warrant for this?

Yes. They apparently don't have evidence of fraud in either her or her father's records. I can't understand how they lawfully obtained a warrant. Her father died, and she was a minor when she naturalized through him . . . there is no one to prosecute, and denaturalization is a civil process.

Denaturalization and, eventually, removal are certainly their goals here. How they obtained a search warrant is a question that needs an answer.

The trailer from 70s horror film called "Bug" that's about, uh, bugs . . . big cockroach-y bugs that do things like crawl out of telephones into ears and start fires. I'd post the trailer, but that would mean I'd have to watch it and traumatize myself again. Google it at your own risk.

It’s earlier than I expected to announce this, but we’re in the process of founding an organization to build cross-generational solidarity on campus sexual violence. It’s called the Survivor Alumni Network. And if you want updates from us when we are ready to go public, you can stay in touch here:

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Did the court sign off on this yet? Is there a "case or controversy" here? These aren't "adverse" parties, and this lawsuit is a ruse . . . arguably an injusticiable one.

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

I helped rescue one a couple of years ago in midtown—came upon some tourists shielding him on a sidewalk, and I’m sure they still talk about the crazy lady who stuck the poor bird in a shopping bag and whisked him off in a cab. The amazing Wild Bird Fund on the UWS nursed him back to health.

I'd like to hold out some hope that it will change ICE's tactics in the short run. Like "the fruit of the poisonous tree," the relief ordered ultimately defeats the purpose of these unconstitutional tactics ... they may be deterred from kidnaping people if they can't keep them detained in the end.

They know that this will cause enough chaos to create windows of opportunity where they can remove individuals in their custody in the short time between the issuance of a final administrative order and a circuit court's grant of a stay of removal pending judicial review.
