Never a good idea to remind customers that you actually still own the thing they thought they bought.

The thing that most people don't realize is that the deportation machine was already operating at capacity. No one, ever, was just allowing millions of undocumented immigrants into the country willy-nilly. That was mythology. The process to get legal status in this country is already a very high bar

The first numbers in this blew my mind.

ICE made 100k arrests from January to June, which was double the same period last year. The shocking part to me is that it was only double, though. I certainly didn’t know they arrested so many people under Biden.

And Lauryn Hill. Of course. You were not a moody teen with a walkman in the 90s if you didn't have Lauryn Hill in heavy rotation

Not in any scholarly fashion. Wu-Tang bc they were foundational listening for xennials, Outkast bc they were foundational listening for the Iraq War era, and now it's mostly Islam-adjacent stuff; Reminders, Shabazz Palaces (who are comics fans!) Digable Planets

"To be or not to be could have been the perfect start to a Rap Song" you have to excuse the cringe, it's NPR

If we're talking about the greatest living lyricists, it's worth remembering that Wu-Tang Clan's discography uses a larger vocabulary than Shakespeare, so GZA has to be on that list.

Shakespeare loses to the Wu-Tang Clan in vocabulary duel

“To be, or not to be” could have been the perfect start to a rap song. Some have even called Shakespeare the original rapper, his use of iambic pentameter the first dropped beat. So, it seems fitting...

Glenn, that is a stink bug. You are not required to repatriate stink bugs. 😂 They are invasive and terrible for crops. Just kill them.

He was a professor at Rutgers until he was forced to flee the country, so probably Newark or JFK?

Anybody heard from Prof Bray since this post?

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’
