I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.

In about 4 hours or so, we'll be seeing Princess off on her journey across the Rainbow Bridge.

🚨This is utterly unprecedented. As far as anyone can tell, no one in the last 100 years has EVER been charged with misdemeanor improper entry under 8 USC 1325 years after they entered the country, and certain never for asylum seekers who have legal permission to be here (Temporary Protected Status).
Venezuelan couple is arrested and charged with illegal entry — two years after crossing into the U.S.
The couple, who live in Washington, D.C., have temporary deportation protections and pending asylum claims. Advocates say the case could set legal precedent.

Yesterday morning, with no notice, ImmDef received a stop-work order from the Trump administration cutting off all funding for our legal services program for children. This order impacts more than 85 legal service providers nationally and 26,000 vulnerable children who are facing deportation.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place):
1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."
