youtube suggested I watch a composer react to SIX and I was like "sure that sounds fun" and 5 minutes in I am realizing he doesn't know who these six women are and I am agog, like I'm sorry isn't everyone's neurodivergent special interest wronged Tudor women & Mt. Everest?

The priest at my church got beat up at an anti-ICE protest on the peninsula this week, and when he showed up for Mass today with a black eye all the church ladies swooned like they had seen a Backstreet Boy.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

A measles outbreak at an ICE family detention center means not only risk of serious and very infectious disease, but also complete lockdown conditions akin to solitary confinement. Awful.

ICE halts "all movement" at Texas detention facility due to measles infections
The measles cases at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center were detected Friday, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to CBS News.

Kittywampus has found a new game: when he wants us to get up (read: feed him breakfast) and the usual walking on us in bed and being cute doesn't work, he jumps up to the Quite Tall Headboard on our bed and sort of looks like he might jump down on us. He weighs about 6 kg. About a 4 foot drop.

Just for reference, this 1980 Talking Heads concert in Rome is easily one of the great things.
It's not homework. It's just one slamming song after another by a band at the absolute height of their powers.
Also: young Adrian Belew.

Again, among protesters from Minneapolis and those who have come to the city to protest are literally hundreds of clergy from a range of traditions.
Clergy actually file special taxes, so I'm not even sure how a shadowy outside party paying them all would even work. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...
