Markรฉta Irglovรก and Glen Hansard are lot by rainbow stage lights at the Fillmore in Detroit. And it is increasingly clear that I need a new cell phone because this photo is needlessly blurry despite having really excellent seats
Don't sleep on the new Swell Season album. Saw them play last night in Detroit. This might be the best example of former romantic partners channeling their mess in service of the music since Fleetwood Mac

New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.

Cartoon from Crustacean Singles shows 2 crudely drawn figures talking.
"So, have you decided on your Independence Day resolutions yet?"
"My...what?"
"You know... like, what specific injustices do you plan to rebel against in the coming year?"
Rebelling against injustice is an American value.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users donโt seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. โChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimesโ is much more marketable than the truth.

Baby of brain-dead pregnant woman kept alive under abortion law has been delivered, family says
Adriana Smith's boy was delivered via emergency cesarean section Friday, the family said. The family has said it plans to discontinue life support for the woman.
Maintaining a dead woman's body for 5 months then delivering a one pound highly premature baby from her corpse is a cruel medical experiment.
If ever you wonder why there are high levels of medical mistrust in the Black community, remember this story.
