Did the Dolphins forget that they're supposed to be playing football?

Haviv, not Havoc.

I really hate autocorrect

DEAD HAND RULE is out today! As an implacable enemy skitters nearer across the stars, Tara Abernathy gathers Gods and Deathless Kings alike to join forces. Of course, there's still a little fine print to be sorted out. But surely they'll be able to come together against the darkness. Any minute now.

YouTube video by Ask Haviv Anything Episode 52: Why do people hate Jews, with Dara Horn

Really interesting episode of Ask Havoc Anything with Dara Horn. It contains maybe the best answer to "what is a Jew" that I've heard.

I mean, most white suburban voters I know are very strongly Democratic.

Anecdotal, and they're in the minority I'm sure

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires.

There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

So people who speak English shouldn't live next to the Convicted Felon?

'However, Salient editor Richard Y. Rodgers defended the piece, saying that Army “did not intentionally quote Adolf Hitler, nor did any member of our editorial staff recognise the resemblance prior to publication”.'

How did students at a top university not recognize it?

In good news for the week, the 3rd season of Dark Winds has hit Netflix. And there are two familiar faces with cameos in the first episode!

He seems to be a much better mayor than when I lived there and we had Boris

Wooooow

I mean, when the right says "New York Values" they means "Jews" anyway

But seriously, what makes a city like New York or London great is that THE WORLD IS THERE

The good thing is that I've only ever heard it as a term of respect

Was the person doing it 5? Because for a small child 16 is almost as old as me (63)

So it appears, I've just never encountered it

Perhaps, but I can only speak to the ones I personally know about!

As far as I can tell, "Auntie" and "Uncle" in many South Asian cultures mean "older person who you aren't necessarily related to but is associated with your family"

"It's a Good Life" continues to be the best representation of our current state of governance.

I mean... Christianity...

I'm older than you and I don't know a single person who had measles

Accusing Jordan Silverman A D.C. teaching assistant was accused of molesting up to 15 kids. Multiple law enforcement agencies cleared him. But his nightmare was just beginning.

New from me:

Elite law firms, multiple media outlets, the D.C. attorney general, and a group of parents accused a teacher of molesting 15 kids. They were wrong.

This piece is two-and-a-half years in the making. And as you'll see, it took some incredible turns, even as I was reporting it.

I like big bundts and I cannot lie

What does Israel have to do with antisemitism?

Antisemites don't like Jews. If they don't have the Netanyahou government or the existence of Israel as an excuse they'll just find another.

It's been that way for millennia.

Last night we watched "John Candy: I Like Me" and really enjoyed it.

Things were okay for me when I was 12 but I was also 12 and blissfully unaware of so many things.

There's this drug as that airs here in the US that starts with "Imagine being a million miles away."

And my first thought is always, "Then I'd be in deep space and I'd be dead.'
