I think the greatest gift college professors in the humanities can give to students right now is a seminar room where, for 80 minutes twice a week, nothing that happens to them is a sales pitch for an AI product.

My formative science museum is renovating their iconic gems and minerals exhibit and I almost panicked about the rocks.
But they’re keeping the Sweet Home Mine display so it’s gonna be okay.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Printed and painted a LucasArts Easter egg for our Star Wars display area at an upcoming con. I’m very proud of how it looks like bone and that I did the minimum possible cycles of black-white-black inside the eyes.

This is probably the most beautiful and hilarious protest story you’ll find.
Is there violence? Yes.
But this is protesting with “Tactical Frivolity”, which has become the key phrase for #ICE protests, inspired by #Portland

Ugh. The main anti-ICE group in Washington which has 44k followers on Facebook and has been going around to communities promoting classes is now promoting this anti-whistle nonsense for "harm reduction" reasons as well.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL:
When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.
