Watching the #Oscars, thinking about how the nominees all get a little time where someone tells them they did something great in front of a large crowd of famous people. We could use some more of that.

I wonder what it's like to be a Vanderbilt sports fan right now. Decades as a doormat and now killing it in all of the big four sports.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

There was a story yesterday about how Bank of America plans to make more money from credit cards. Same basic thing -- trinkets for people who carry balances, no added value mentioned.

This policy helped make America the wealthiest nation in the world. We took talent from other countries -- it was our gain and their loss.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

Two thoughts on this excellent thread: I know far more outstanding women than outstanding men. It's not close. When you see a situation that's not going well, do you blame the side with more power or the one with less?

"Oil and gas get most of the attention, but clean energy has been the Texas economic boom’s secret ingredient. All but 6% of new electric capacity added to the state’s grid since 2020 has come from renewables or batteries." And energy use is up over 25% in that time! 1/2

Astros had 11 singles and no other hits today, no walks, no RBI even though they scored 2 runs. Seems possibly worth looking into, @jaysonst.bsky.social.
