Listening to the 2014 episode of Dear John & Hank which more than touches on parasocial relationships on Tumblr, and we just got to the “is John Green your creepy uncle?” bit.

The killing of Alex Pretti was the predictable, tragic outcome of allowing a violent, unaccountable secret police force to operate in our communities and then continuing to fund it. We need leaders who will stand up for us.

Tom Suozzi, one of the 7 House Dems who voted for the DHS bill: "I failed to view the DHS funding vote as a referendum on the illegal and immoral conduct of ICE in Minneapolis... I have long been critical of ICE’s unlawful behavior and I must do a better job demonstrating that."

The great animator Roger Allers has died.
he's one of the people who made Disney Animation great again.
He also brought a wide range of animators together to do a wild version of THE PROPHET. I met him fleetingly at NYICFF since he sat behind me at the screening
He will be missed

Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.
