WSJ: More than 100,000 demonstrated across New York City, according to the New York Police Department, which said in the afternoon it had made, "zero-protest-related arrests."

Thanks to everyone who showed up!

The last NO KINGS demonstrations were peaceful and supremely patriotic.

Make that make sense:

"The Trump administration is considering a radical overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would slash the program to its bare bones while giving preference to English speakers, white South Africans and Europeans who oppose migration..."

Phoenix has roundabouts, non-grid layouts, narrow streets, and loons on motorbikes. SF doesn't have roundabouts but does have the other things.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?

Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Due process. Academic freedom. An independent judiciary. A free press. A professional civil service. A protected environment. These aren't partisan talking points; they are the pillars of a healthy nation. And every single one of them is under direct assault by the Trump administration.

I believe in my heart of hearts Apple could totally add auto-complete corrections for stupid iOS keyboard input like “forgotntonusenit”, a thing I have to correct about a dozen times each day.

Milos Forman's movie was a brilliant fake. The story was fake, but the movie exceeded its origins.

This remake punts on the idea that there are other stories that can be told about Mozart.

WTF remake
