I don't have time to write more, but ICE is working to remove people to third countries in violation of D.V.D. v. DHS. I've been up since 5:20 A.M. working with two other attorneys to prevent our client from being shipped out. If you rep someone at risk of third country removal, check on them NOW

Awwooo?! The weather isn't threatening and it's definitely not the first Wednesday of the month, but in Maplewood I just heard a single short awwooo from one of the tornado sirens. Right at noon. Not all of them, nor the one closest to me. Huh?! Anybody else?

This is demonstrably, measurably improving the health of the people who live there. Most notably, it increases the respiratory *& cognitive* health of children. They literally do better in school. If this country really gave a shit about children, this would be at the top of the public-policy list.

I understand that funding bodies want to go all in on AI as the shiny new innovation thing. But if all the grants start going to AI at the expense of everything else then the research sector is going to end up looking like a farm with dozens of threshers hacking away in a field with no wheat.

Seeing The Odyssey made me want to revisit this outstanding bit from one of Daniel Lavery's Western Art History pieces from The Toast: "Normal Moments In Art History Where No One Is About To Get Murdered." the-toast.net/2014/06/16/f...

An image of the painting "Circe" by painter Wright Barker; Circe is a beautiful woman holding a lyre in one hand and holding the other out in a welcoming gesture. She's surrounded by a bunch of slightly mopey looking lions and wolves and standing on a tiger skin rug. Underneath, in italics, it says (entirely in lowercase):

come in i have no plans to turn you into an animal
i have to be telling the truth
see how many men turned into animals i already own???
like why would i need more

Text: "A Companion Robot Company Just Landed a Classroom
Sally arrives in a Salamanca classroom this fall, billed as learning support." Image is a close up of the Realbotix M-series robot used in the Salamanca classroom as Sally. It is a female-coded and gendered humanoid robot with a traditionally female name (Sally), long brown hair, appears to wear cosmetics, wearing an open-collar white shirt. Plain gray background.

THIS THIS THIS!! The networks we built in Jan 2025 for the LA Fires are what snapped into place when the ICE raids started. The infrastructure and people were already in place. Minneapolis I suspect experienced similar, with their groups stemming from the George Floyd Uprising.

I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.

A nihilistic sheep, who, like so many other sheep, just wants to watch the world burn, staring at me insouciantly, moments after it has set fire to a large portion of the United Kingdom.

By the way: if the FBI shows up at your doorstep and is like “I’d just like to ask some questions” they don’t have to read you your Miranda rights. You still have the right to remain silent. You can just say, “no, thank you, I’m not interested in talking to you” and have that be it.

If someone from the FBI visits you about your algae posts the correct thing to do is to say you won’t talk with them. Please do not talk to the FBI. Like, at all. They have no sense of humor and they will take your stupid joke and charge you with lying to an agent.
