Instead of "the left isn't paying enough attention to these machine gods" they're claiming to build, perhaps we should write an article about how effective altruists brand themselves "left", ask who is writing these articles, and trace their cults and sources of funding.

Mine was Darren and Darren
My first exposure to the notion that two people could play the same character differently was Robert Duvall as Frank Burns in Robert Altman's M*A*S*H (which I watched way too often at too young an age). Duvall's smoldering Burns could not have been less like Larry Linville's sniveling TV version.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
