Oh? You are assuming the good deed story is true? I suspect the alternative is more likely, that he was trying to hire someone he thought was a sex worker.

I commented that someone else did his hair and makeup. The makeup looks better and the hair, oddly, looks worse.
Deportation should require a jury trial.
Cleverly replacing rumors of my death with evidence of my senility
Deportation hearings should be jury trials.

Obviously AI. I don't see any anchor worms on his right pectoral fin.

"still alive" Hush your mouth! We don't need that sort of talk around here.
I'm trying not to get political, but there is something vaguely familiar about an orange parasite that's slowly transforming the nature of their surroundings, wholly consuming a healthy system to serve itself. I guess I'm saying: there's a fungus among us.
Or they are having trouble finding an independent source to confirm with.
And our host M. Bowers has answered in the affirmative.
Thank you very much for that answer. That's what I (and I'm sure others) were looking for.
I give the current administration zero benefit of the doubt. I'd like to see this specifically spelled out.
Does it? (Please understand that I am not being intentionally argumentative) Can you give a reference? Everything I have seen lists the class as 76 children with 10 named.
Right. So what is happening with the rest of the kids?
Well, they want to deport anyone darker than ecru, but I get your point.
But the most recent updates only say 76. Of which 10 are named. Did the other 524 never exist? (Reporting was fast and loose). Or are they covered by implication?
Our brilliant host M. Bowers says "hundreds" here: Emergency Hearing over the Removal of Unaccompanied Minors to Guatemala | Lawfare share.google/NaS2PKPI9WOm...
Here is a CNN report that gives the 600 number. Trump Admin Sending 600 Guatemalan Kids Back Home in New 'Repatriation' Move—Report - Newsweek share.google/R8Ko0xRcQCW3...
So were any kids deported at all?
I thought there was a total of around 600 children. Am I remembering that incorrectly?
This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children. I’d love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at it… it’s so frivolous it’d be laughable if it weren’t so cruel. (Am I wrong??)
Deportation should require a jury trial. And the jury should have the option to grant permanent residency, or even citizenship.
Crap. The government will just send them somewhere OTHER than Guatemala
One moment, let me check something. 2+2= um. 4? Yup, 4 Looks like I am still good at math. No lottery ticket for me, thanks.
I had Reagan. My parents had Nixon. My Uncles had Hitler. We need a fucking vaccine against fascism.
I have heard that a major east coast crime boss is planning to send his 'soldiers' into california cities to terrorize residents. Hopefully Newsome will crack down on that.

Hey @garius.bsky.social I have a question for you as a historian. How often has an invasion of a near peer nation that stalls out rapidly resulted in an eventual win for the invading nation? Specifically I'm considering the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I need steel toed boots with "It's the GUNS, stupid" engraved in reverse on them so I can kick their asses and leave a message.

Red states gerrymander. Blue states want fair maps. When democracy’s on the line, we’ll fight for it. Newsom & CA Dems are calling a spec. election to defend fair elections, counter Trump’s election rigging, & for the use of nonpartisan nationwide redistricting commissions. Vote Yes on Prop 50!
That's the face, isn't it?
Apparently that's what the national guard is for.
If you are a California voter be on the lookout for anti Prop 50 mailers like this one. I received one of these and It’s a trick that was created by Charles Munger Jr. and a bunch of others. Munger Jr. has spent $10 Million to defeat Prop 50 aka the Election Rigging Response Act.
Yet?

Oh no.
Yes

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social I am disappointed the @rockymntnmike.bsky.social has yet to produce "Subway Hero" to commemorate our sandwich tossing icon. I mean it's only a small twist from 'jukebox hero'
Help me make sense of this. RFK Jr. wants to have everything fried in beef tallow. The US gets beef tallow from Brazil. So Trump increases the tariff on Brazilian beef tallow to 50%. And now Brazil is going to render beef tallow into biodiesel. Is that right? www.worldenergynews.com/news/brazil-...
Wait, What? Trump actually used tariffs properly? Don't tell him! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Someone should probably start a rumor that Stephen Miller pinches Trump’s hand when he’s bad.
Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.
It occurs to me that they also sell boba in the movie theatre and inside the Whole Foods.
Ah. Ill see if it works on any of my devices
Where do we find it? Steam? Xbox? PS? Nintendo? Blanket near the train station?
That would not explain the six Boba Tea shops within a few blocks of my house. (Oh wait, it's seven.) (Forgot the one inside the Starbucks that is inside the Target. Eight.) (They probably opened another one while I was writing this.)
Who would have suspected that the best thing to invest in during the Trump 2.0 presidency would be tear gas futures?
The cost of producing fusion fuel depends greatly on which reaction is being used. H-H, is trivial, D-T, not really much more, Th, higher, but still in the realm of possible. He3 has more assumptions than a caffeinated reply guy who just got unlimited YouTube.
Fusion /should/ have a smaller waste problem, both because the actual spent fuel is relatively inert, but also because the process should be less likely to irradiate the containment vessel.
Yeah, I have wondered about the total cost of fission power for a long time. There is a LOT of infrastructure involved in producing nuclear fuel. Especially if you start by mining ore rather than decommissioning warheads. And then the disposal is relatively expensive.
I had to look up Siberian cuisine. The following is NOT AI: "raskolotka: fish, is frozen until it hardens and then it’s beaten with a hammer."
“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”
John, you write books that are self contained. Each IS a complete story, which may link to other stories in the same universe. Not every writer is that disciplined. Some write one enormous story, breaking it up into novel length chunks.
"Include ingredients from Burmese and Siberian cuisine. Use Dominican cooking techniques. Increase heat to 4MK. Serve with mint."
Zeno's Reactor.
That was implied. We even have fusion generators that DO generate significant net power. Only very, very, very briefly.
I think it is down to twenty now. (might actually be somewhat closer. But it is not, and let me be clear, NOW.)
We also, and don't let me be too subtle, DON'T KNOW HOW TO BUILD FUSION REACTORS!

So the area where white people (I am a white people) killed or drove off everyone who was there first. And the timeframe where railroads and the sears catalog meant that you could acquire important things with only a few weeks notice.
There is SO much to say about how rural women burned out bc without constant cleaning their families would literally die. I mean like pumping & carrying water, chopping firewood, scrubbing, & dying relatively young from constant workload. The rural papers were FULL of women's letters about this.

I'm a senior engineer. The most valuable thing I bring to a team is support and training for the junior members. I can mentor 2-3 people a year, support a dozen others, while still making significant personal contributions. My impact is far larger than my personal production.
Senior Talent will start disappearing into retirement without being replaced since there will be no Junior talent rising up.
this is where Stubb was sitting when Trump couldn't see him btw
