If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

What's a presidential memo? Is that like a strongly worded letter? He'd better have signed it with "Thank you for your attention to this matter" or I'm afraid it won't be enforceable.

Wow wow wow. I just saw an episode of Community that takes place in a video game that was animated in pixel art with chiptunes! Some of the music in the castle reminds me of Shadowgate, and Jeff jumps like Mega Man and... it's really clever. (For reference, the title is "Digital Estate Planning.")

The toddler just pitched a fit, demanding a "big sandwich" even though I always cut her sandwiches in half. I was somehow supposed to know this time was different. However, when presented with a choice between no sandwich and a brutally bisected sandwich, she eventually selected the latter.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

Against all reason, I just hope Musk and Trump end up like Jafar and Iago at the end of Aladin, together in a tiny space arguing with each other forever.
