Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

I’m still blinkered that “an exclusive secret society, co-founded by Peter Thiel” is a fact that’s just out there in the world and no national news outlet has put together a Manhattan Project to get to the bottom of it.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but 2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but 3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So 4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

If you’re feeling discouraged just remember that Schubert was told by his mates to stick to songs and not write piano sonatas because he could never match Beethoven.

Stupid question: There has to be some sort of MOU between the United Stares and El Salvador w/r/t CECOT, right?

Abrego-Garcia’s lawyers have asked for expedited discovery from US officials with knowledge of the terms of any deal with El Salvador and of A-G’s whereabouts. Expect Judge Xinis to grant it over howling objection, and for 4th Cir to deny US emergency appeal.

“He is detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador.” Thoughts on this formulation having helped draft a number of declarations for State officials: 1) Unusual and may not have originated at State. 2) Emphasis on “sovereign” authority may presage further USG slow rolling.

Update: I just listened to the audio of this. Trump: “If the Supreme Court said bring somebody back, I would do that. I respect the Supreme Court.” Reporter: And the lower court as well…? Trump: “Oh no, no. I’m not talking about the lower court. I have great respect for the Supreme Court.”
