Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.

Writing again for the first time in a while. I have a general outline & wrote 1000 words in my draft. It feels like fully flexing a muscle I've only used lightly for a while again. Ooh, stretchy

Already at 600 words in a new draft using the bones of the original that were in my head

A New Version of Woke Is Coming. Conservatives Aren’t Going to Like It. Liberals are getting meaner. It's all part of the plan.

Body shaming and ableism are not and will never be woke, and this is the problem with not understanding the difference between how Black folks talk to each other and how the right co-opted a term for their own purposes.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

I might not be able to find all of the draft, but I remember enough to make a new outline & start a new draft fresh. The current political climate makes some of the ideas I had for it 20 years ago much more fun to play with

Nanobots in the body always feels like dystopian cyberpunk concepts to me. I have a rough draft of a story somewhere I wrote where nanobots are an addictive substance that eventually changes the body so much that the person using them can't even feel emotions properly without a new fix of bots

#TeslaTakedown one year anniversary - Bob Corlett Tesla sales are going down, and we are not going anywhere.

#TeslaTakedown one year in, and showing NO sign of slowing down (unlike Tesla sales and brand reputation, which are tanking). Nazi's never learn, so they must be defeated in every generation. bobcorlett.smugmug.com/TeslaTakedow...

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years.

The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks β€” now, it is orchestrating them.

Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

Agents Suspended After Their Story of Shooting an Immigrant Falls Apart
A judge dropped charges against the immigrant and another man after the top federal prosecutor in Minnesota said new evidence was not consistent with the agents’ testimony.

Agents Suspended After Their Story of Shooting an Immigrant Falls Apart A judge dropped charges against the immigrant and another man after the top federal prosecutor in Minnesota said new evidence was not consistent with the agents’ testimony.

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

An early development digital drawing in color depicting Frankie and Andi, covered in android blood, in front of an early concept for the Repair Halo which had lots more details. An android (that was not necessarily Gwen at the time) lays between them, mid operation.

KOG IS GREENLIT!
Since this was shown in the trailer/ad for the artbook it felt safe to share. This was drawn in '24, early dev, the first time it really felt me, Zach, and JBO understood Frankie, Andi, and the show's tone. I still look at this drawing and think, oh yeah. That's #knightsofguinevere.

Repeat after me:
An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law.

Also:
Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

We don't want Gavin.

So who do we want?

Im firm believer in the saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"

So let's get proactive around other candidates now.

Like right now.

This weekend.

Who are we going with?

We have to pick someone before we get handed someone

If this many people are already pissed about him, this far out then we need an alternative

And it's it gotta be an alternative that we can support and boost so when the time for nominations comes, that candidate is ready to hit the ground running

Bc if we leave it to the DNC, they'll give us gavin

Can we have an adult conversation real quick?

Seriously, if you can't do it, go to the kids table and hush.

Who is the choice besides Newsom? I am NOT saying he's the only choice, or that he's a valid choice.

I am asking who is the alternative that we need to be rallying around right now?

The Border Patrol agents lied. They always lie. And they lie to destroy other people's lives for fun.
