More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

A nice moment in my side career. I wrote a @thebeaverton.com article about the end of @marcmaron.bsky.social 's podcast, and he posted a screengrab to his Instagram with the caption "hilarious" - which is as gratifying as it gets in the satire/humour business.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"
