rather than play advocate, go meet your client in person to be sure you understand their concerns

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me

I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building

There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

On my blog, I posted the speech I gave at WisCon last year, because I've been thinking a lot about that story about the guy throwing starfish back in the water.

I am suspicious of the downplaying of the significance of people making nice with Epstein. People made a similar argument in 2016: that Trump supporters weren't themselves racist but only failed to consider racism a deal breaker.

We've since learned that, yes, they were racists,

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

Being racist is just a way for the richest and luckiest human ever to live to feel like a victim. And that, apparently, is the greatest luxury of all.
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.
