The real GTA6 is the drone strikes we participated in along the way.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I have a metal cage and a cadaver bone replacing a vertebrae in my body and I still have more of a spine than ABC.

These states also don't have functioning democracies so how they "voted" isn't an indicator of public opinion.

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing.

"That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done."

"That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

He's been impeached twice. Our institutions won't get us out of this.

I genuinely don't understand how anyone can look at the current moment and think "Abolish ICE" was anything but completely correct.

ICE cannot and should not exist. Period.

My former small town police chief was caught falsely employing his brother and collecting the check, and a tens of thousands in other embezzlement and fraud. Including $4k in ITunes charges somehow. The one before him was fired from another town for sexual assault and followed us home from school.

Is that Eddie Valentine from The Rocketeer?

No fuck ICE, we don't need white supremacy cops.

Ah yes, The United States, a place well known for how inaccessible firearms are lol

i feel so much rage whenever people try to justify LLM use in art by saying well what about disabled people?

disabled people make art every day. they often do utilize tools to help them create. but they don't need a machine to make art for them, and that's all an LLM can do for a writer.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

"Wait, you're in your 30s?"

Yes.

"YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH TO BE A MINECRAFT YOUTUBER?!?"

I don't know what this means, but my knees hurt.

A blue 1985 Toyota MR2 towing a trailer full of brush through a field.

A Cybertruck could never.

The way Willem Dafoe chews up every scene he's in brings me immense joy.

Him, Christopher Walken, Tim Curry, I'm a sucker for their style of acting.

All Power to the People.
