Instead of counting sheep I like to imagine squirrels piloting rickety homemade zeppelins over a river of piping-hot béchamel sauce. This doesn't help me get to sleep, in fact it leaves me feeling confused and visibly agitated

But in all seriousness, Alcatraz has all the wrong vibes for a big scary federal prison. It’s got great views, beautiful flora, funny looking birds. I’ve been to like a dozen prisons and jails in 4 states and every single one of them is way scarier and more depressing than this.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

One of the only two Board of Education members to vote against the latest SC book bans was a guy who was in my Christian clown troupe back when we were both in seventh grade, and--I don't know. I don't what to do with this information. www.aclusc.org/en/press-rel...

For those failing to get the "copilot" AI off their Microsoft Word -- If you proceed with canceling Microsoft Office, you'll get a "wait wait don't go!" screen where they suddenly offer you "Microsoft 365 Personal Classic" -- which *doesn't include AI* and is actually cheaper! Weird workaround.
