Loving this so much. So many of my favorite things bundled up into one beautiful package, starting with the innocent-seeming mistake of thinking "Hawkeyes" = "Hawks".

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

"The COVID-19 pandemic, which killed more than 47,000 New Yorkers, has inspired no such response ... Unlike the bereaved of 9/11, pandemic survivors who lost loved ones have no public place where they can share their griefs, receive recognition, and carry on with their lives. They deserve better."

Got a good job down at the Data Center. I work on the line, and it's hard work but it's honest and the wage is fair; my family and I are grateful for it. I rivet the word "absolutely" onto the little apologies that chatbots do when they misunderstand a prompt.

Interesting pricing convergence for a 60-mile trip from the airport: - Lyft: $75 - Enterprise one-way car rental, 1 day: $74 - Shared shuttle van, runs once/hr: $79 Seems like there's business to be had if the car rental companies could figure out how to make an app that wasn't such a pain to use.

the artwork is titled "Underwater" (2023) by the contemporary Serbian painter Alexandra Djokic.
The painting is an abstract expressionist and figurative depiction of a woman's legs submerged in water. The artist utilizes a highly vibrant, mosaic-like pointillism technique. She layers repetitive circles, dots, and wavy contours to mimic the distortion, refraction, and play of light moving across ripples. The background swirls with a rich, cool-toned palette of blues, aquas, and greens. This starkly contrasts with the warm oranges, reds, and browns mapping out the forms of the legs.
