And while we're investigating prominent people for alleged immigration fraud decades ago, let's do this guy, as well.

Federal HIPAA penalties can potentially add up to YEARS of incarceration for obtaining PHI under false pretenses -- like, I don't know, pretending to be the patient's cousin. That is, of course, if we had a DoJ that was willing to pursue this (we don't). www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

There was another a couple of weeks ago, but I deleted it. Other folks have reported them.

In the Senate race here in Texas, I don’t need to check the polls to see the Talarico has momentum. I just need to check my text messages for the latest white supremacist freakout.

There is no clearer sign of the incompetence and failure of the Trump regime and the GOP than the fact that Hegseth is *still* Secretary of Defense. This flag-pocket-square clown has never been anything more than an aggrieved former part-time junior officer. 1/🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/u...

🧵 It's not just that Trump is wrong. It's important—and dangerous—that he has no policy process, no investigation of conditions and consideration of appropriate steps. It's all personal. Oh, and very wrong. A huge example is AI data center construction. 1/9 Gift link. www.wsj.com/economy/the-...

The AI Build-Out Is Becoming the Biggest Economic Bet in U.S. History

Data-center spending is greater than that for canals, railroads and grid combined—creating jobs and stock-market wealth, while boosting inflation and crowding out housing.

English actor Tom Hiddleston recorded all the Hank Williams songs he performed as Williams in "I Saw the Light" (2016). He and the producers decided not to either remaster Williams's original recordings, or hire a sound-alike performer to loop the songs. youtu.be/b0-2OUcvBHs

This timeline is so fucked up it's got me feeling sorry for fucking Mitch McConnell... or at least horrified at how an elderly, sick, clearly disabled, rapidly declining man is being callously carted around like a bag of rotting garbage, with little or no concern for his comfort or safety.

Detail of the new mural honoring Bernardo de Galvez in Galveston, 9 September 2026. Galvez was the Spanish governor of Louisiana and fought the British in the American Revolution. The mural is a gift of the city of Malaga in Spain, created by Spanish artist Eduardo “Lalone” Luque. Almost done.

I use AI at my job everyday, it's a requirement. My account was recently reset. I'd had it set to be as impersonal and clinical and terse as I could make it. Like a word calculator. When it was set back to the stock version, I was taken aback at how sycophantic and overly familiar it is.

The county jail is about a mile from my house, and it's full of people who have done greater or lesser Bad Things. They all show "evidence of consciousness," and there's not a damned thing awe-inspiring about any of them.
