Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

Return of The Blob: Heat wave spans Pacific Ocean A massive heat wave is hitting the Pacific Ocean from Kamchatka to California.

and from what I've heard (from my husband, who served), you REALLY have to have a drinking problem for the forces to think you have a drinking problem.

But folks who are a very poor judge of character are part of the reason we're in this mess, so I am neither surprised nor insulted by this fool.

Started seeing Out of Office emails this week. "Sorry, not able to check my inbox due to the government shutdown."

Queen leads tributes to 'wonderfully witty friend' Dame Jilly Cooper Rivals author died aged 88 after a fall, with Queen wishing her a "hereafter filled with impossibly handsome men and devoted dogs".

This is worth a read. It's not just that people are fooled by AI videos or deepfakes. AI feeds people's need for content that reflects their beliefs, even if they are aware the content isn't real.

'Rocky Horror' is 50! We propose a toast. (You know what to do) Rocky Horror aficionados used to attend screenings of the film over and over to take notes on the details. Accurately mirroring every line and dance move has gotten easier over time.

How My Reporting on the Columbia Protests Led to My Deportation As an Australian who wrote about the demonstrations while on campus, I gave my phone a superficial clean before flying to the U.S. I underestimated what I was up against.

If you are intending on traveling to or from the US, read this.

TL:DR takeaway - if they give you an opportunity to gtfo, take it. Take it before they have a chance to take a bunch of other people's information from you.
