Secret agent. Shhhh.... Raised by wolves. And books. Inside of me is a very dumb person who occasionally breaks out and makes comments on the internet. I call her missdick. I'm so sorry if you've met her.

An AI generated meme similar to the one the whitehouse posted of trump walking across snow towards mountains holding hands with a penguin who is holding an american flag (minus stars) In the distance is the flag of greenland, (also there are not penguins in greenland)

Strong Through Autumn
I can imagine what it's like
a sudden parting of my life
and all the forgotten chimes
swirl in blinking off the light

I play my blood like a xylophone
crystalline secrets in its tones
summoning magic birds from home
buzzing my dreams of letting go

I look into the eyes of youth
and we link into eternal truth
and our mallets pummel out the proof
from deep inside

There is no more telling me to hide
these windows are the kind that glide
right through my body like a veil
and through time I can slide
and though it's autumn
My trees have glistening clouds
and I walk on transparent ground
and their leaves fall for the last time

I can still hear the numbing drone
of mankind's heads muttering alone
repeating endlessly a moan
at the foot of a finite throne

as if our only purpose in this life
is to offer up some sacrifice
it's a lie
of the worst kind

So I cast my line skyward again
and from the earth emerge my friends
laughing because there's no end
only pause between messages sentthrough the net from outer space
they land like rainbows all over the place
they burn through the surface of this dream
liquid light brighter than our very eyes

and though it's autumn
I won't be rescued like a leaf
I've sunk my roots into the future
I'm the bus on which we'll leave

Here is a flower for your hat
It's both a promise and acknowledgement
that we share a field overflowing
and it's there we've been growing

and strong through autumn
this season passes like a dream
I'll carry through it what I've seen
'cause it can't diminish my spring

Family Values

Family Values is a graphic novel, and the fifth "yarn" in Frank Miller's Sin City series. It was first published in October 1997. Unlike the previous four stories, Family Values was released as a 128-page graphic novel rather than in serialized issues that would later be collected in a trade paperback volume. (from wiki)

As Miho massacres the guards, Dwight tells the Don he is going to die along with Vito, and reveals why: the accidental death of Carmen, one of the Old Town girls. Dwight tells them Vito shouldn't have shot at the stray dog, since the angles were in a straight line to a nearby phone booth where Carmen was calling for a ride. Carmen was killed by the gunfire. Carmen's lover, Daisy, arrives as Dwight walks away from the Don and his associates, and guns them down.

"DW from NJ" from the comment section Oct 30:

"I find it incredibly ironic that Sankar suggests that we should consult the Office of the Inspector General when we all know that the Office of the Inspector General was eliminated on day one of the Trump administration."

62 others recommend commentAnd that’s usually, I don’t know, for every agency this is — look, I’m a builder, so consult a policy person — but something like the Office of Inspector General or other law enforcement agencies that are responsible for this. Sometimes, depending on the context, it can actually be counterintelligence.

It’s the same infrastructure that you would use to make sure that people aren’t abusing the data. It’s how you would also make sure that you don’t have a spy in your organization.

Douthat: In the end, though, it is up to the people running those institutions to decide whether to track abuses at all.

Sankar: That’s right.

Douthat: So it might be at different levels and different agencies. But presumably, in the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem would have the authority to track or not track abuses to some degree?

Sankar: I mean, yes. I think that’s a little bit of a nihilistic view.

screenshot of the end of an interview in NYT opinion pages Oct 30 2025

In addition to being an officer in the U.S. military and the C.T.O. of Palantir, you are now a would-be Hollywood executive, right?

Sankar: That’s right. I’ve started a film-production company to make content that makes you proud to be an American. Not Pravda Entertainment, but a lot of this was built on my own assimilation journey.

So when I came to the U.S. in the early ’80s, I would sit on the couch with dad and watch “Rambo III” and “Rocky IV” and “Hunt for Red October” —

Douthat: “War Games” and “Terminator 2”? Just throwing those out there — those two.

Sankar: “Star Trek.” I’ll offer you some optimistic sci-fi.

Douthat: Yes.

Sankar: But also things that reflect comedy, like “Beverly Hills Cop.” There’s a sense of heroism. It’s not just about war movies. It’s about: What is the American spirit?Shyam Sankar continues: "I like to say, as a 5-year-old, I knew what it felt like to be an American before I knew civics or our political philosophy or our history, and I think that feeling is really important. It explains why people went back to the theater to see “Top Gun: Maverick” over and over again. Obviously, they already knew the plot the second time around, but the feeling is really important.

A lot of our content right now is filled with a little bit of self-loathing, maybe a lot of nihilism — a sense that America is a force for bad in the world. Sometimes it’s subtle, sometimes it’s not so subtle. We’ve been here before as a country — in Vietnam, essentially. We had a lot of movies that felt this character arc of self-loathing.

It’s actually the reason that George Lucas made “American Graffiti” in ’73. He was tired of it. He just wanted to make a movie about boys chasing girls driving cars. It was the palate cleanser that set the tone for the big pump-up movies of the late ’70s and ’80s that we’ve just been talking about here."The interview concludes:

I think they are really powerful stories to be told. There’s a great opportunity to tell a story on the 25th anniversary of Sept. 11 that has nothing to do with terrorism or planes flying to the building, per se — but to focus on a very, what I view as quintessentially American story: the nine everyday New Yorkers who went to work that day and were courageous. They motivated each other to get 12,000 souls out of that building in the 102 minutes between the first strike and the towers collapsing. All of our narratives of this tend to focus on the 2,000 or so folks we lost, which is a grave tragedy, but even in our worst moment, that’s the best of us.

What is it that we want to communicate to our children that being American means? I think that’s really important.

Douthat: All right, on that patriotic note: Shyam Sankar, thanks so much for joining me.

Sankar: Thanks for having me, Ross.

I really liked the book The 5 languages of apology. It made sense to me that people can be looking for different things in an apology. A non-apology like "I'm sorry you had that experience." is a more serious bad behavior. It's a great gift to have an adult model apology. It's an invaluable skill

Justice Dept. Agrees To Let DOGE Access Sensitive Immigration Case Data By WashingtonPost Apr 22, 2025

By Hannah Natanson, Jeremy Roebuck and Rachel Siegel

Representatives for the U.S. DOGE Service have received permission to access a highly sensitive Justice Department system that contains information including the addresses and case history for millions of legal and undocumented immigrants, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.

The system — the Executive Office for Immigration Review’s Courts and Appeals System, or ECAS — is used to store records of immigrants who have interacted with the U.S. immigration system, detailing their name, any addresses, previous immigration-court testimony and any history of engagement with law enforcement, among other things. The Justice Department’s website states that “ECAS supports the full life cycle of an immigration case” by maintaining “all records and case-related documents in electronic format.”

A team of roughly a half-dozen DOGE “advisors” placed at the Justice Department won approval from senior officials at the agency on Friday to access the ECAS system, according to the documents reviewed by The Post.

Justice Department staff were instructed to begin preparing ECAS accounts for the DOGE team, the documents show, including former hedge fund staffer Adam Hoffman as well as Payton Rehling and Jon Koval, both of whom work at a private equity firm tied to Elon Musk. The team also includes Marko Elez, who resigned from the government in February after the Wall Street Journal linked him to a social media account that had made racist posts. He was rehired after Musk dismissed the significance of the posts.

«During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night.
The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.  It didn’t look like we were going to win then and we did. It doesn’t feel like we’re going to win now but we could. Keep fighting, keep dancing.»
