Old poster from John Scalzi. Tabby kitten sitting on the back of a sofa looking up at the sky through a window. Words on the poster: If you use your religion to justify being terrible to others, You're an asshole. If you use someone else's religion to justify being terrible to them You're an asshole. Maybe don't be an asshole.

The US has now sent at least 278 men to the CECOT prison in El Salvador.

The courts have already ruled twice that they were not granted due process under the law. We need to (1) remedy this immediately, (2) stop further such actions, (3) hold accountable those who were responsible.

Dozens of Clinical Trials Have Been Frozen in Response to Trump’s USAID Order (Gift Article) The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care.

You cannot abandon participants that have received experimental drugs or devices. It is a violation of the Declaration of Helsinki and a dereliction of medical responsibility. Other agencies or local govt’s have got to step in to support these medical teams.

Elon Musk’s DOGE is feeding sensitive federal data into AI to target cuts Department of Government Efficiency workers embedded in the Education Department have been processing sensitive agency data using artificial intelligence.

A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision.
 
What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to.
 
Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.
 
David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath.
 
While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own.
 
I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh.
 
His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.
 
I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone.
 
David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."
