Birthright citizenship under the common law, a thread:

I have done this many times on social media, in print, and in media interviews, but not to be accused of taking others’ not seriously enough, by plainly stating the law and history of birthright citizenship, I’m taking the time here:

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

Gotta repost this in every venue I come across it; the screenshot equivalent of Tom Holland's dance.

This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times.

Proposal: instead of giving ChatGPT tens of billions of dollars to fail to create artificial intelligence, give me, an Actual Intelligence, a mere $10 million and I will gladly do a spreadsheet wrong for you from time to time for a modest fee.

Witchery is relationships. There can be no good relationship without listening. The witch attends the river not just to learn all it has seen as it has carved the land, but to foster a bond with it. For respect starts in hearing others speak their truths. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

They are not planning "a violent crackdown" on 10.18. What they are doing is sending a signal to their shock troops to try to cause havoc. But those shock troops will be vastly outnumbered. Go out and protest freely. Do not be cowed.

A fascinating read.
A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.

And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.
There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.

At the airport. For airport jobs.

YAAAAY!
Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink!

Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back.
