I don’t understand why what’s happening in Chicago isn’t constant national news. Yesterday they dragged a preschool teacher – here legally – from her classroom in front of her students. They threw tear gas into a playground.

Orangina is going to do something outlandish tomorrow to get back in the spotlight

The specificity of the AI pandering keeps surprising me. This final line from one I got really pulled all the threads together (my book is about an adulterous ancestor’s diaries):

The man is literally tearing down the White House and GOPers are…fine?

Remember Elon with the chainsaw? That was, like, 15 years ago?

This is a top-tier post

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

ICE has bought access to an “all-in-one” surveillance tool that gives it updated location data from hundreds of millions of phones, putting us all at risk of being tracked.

The government can’t be allowed to surveil us simply for having a cell phone.

I had a blast talking with @thejeremybjones.bsky.social about his new book, Cipher, with @blairpub.bsky.social. A huge thanks to Jeremy and @reckonreview.bsky.social for putting this conversation out into the world!

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

Weirdly, Orwell would support this move

I teach it most semesters

Is FedEx the worst ever or is that just where I live?
