I do stand up comedy. I own a comedy club. I blog about 80s music. I teach law and philosophy. And I have a day job you probably know me from, but this account ain’t for that.

Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force

US plans to start checking all tourists' social media
The potential social media mandate being proposed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would apply to anyone visiting, whether they require a visa or not.

So, if 20 years ago someone said “Here’s an idea. Let’s find 10 of the most socially awkward tech nerds we got, make them so rich they live outside everyone’s daily reality, and then they’ll design most of our social interactions around their profitability”, you’d have shut that down, right? RIGHT?!

“….or, then, what if we had all 300 million Americans in a group plan, and every citizen could vote for the people who ran the plan and those people didn’t have to extract a profit, and this elected entity negotiated for EVERY SINGLE….oh, shit…wait a minute….”
Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

This is absolutely correct. Some are using the legitimacy of the prerogative to defend the overuse and abuse. And for those who say “Ah, but the notwithstanding clause is in the Constitution”, I’d answer that so is the federal power of disallowance, but no one wants that to be suddenly normalized.
Very interesting parallels between how Trump is using the pardon power and how certain provincial premiers are using the notwithstanding clause (yes yes, the latter is technically a legislative, rather than executive, power). Both valid constitutional instruments, both being radically abused.

Um….i feel like this might be a bigger deal than the media reporting would make it out to be.
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.
But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.
See you soon, NYC.

The cruelty is the point.
NOT A CRIMINAL
A veteran’s wife was arrested by ICE when she went for an immigration check-in. She was separated from her young children, even though she’s still nursing.
I wonder who he voted for?
That said, it’s odd he said “almost inhumane”. Being snatched from your newborn baby IS inhumane.

Since we’re overthinking Daniel Tiger for fun (a subject I have been studying as a toddler’s dad), I’m looking at the poster’s theory that an inordinate amount of work by the neighborhood’s resident’s appears to be uncompensated work for the benefit of the royal family’s enterprises.

The only logical flaw here is presenting “cool” and “nostalgic” as a mutually exclusive binary, but it’s factually solid.
Me, I am one cool, nostalgic bastard.

A lot of GenXers who think they are cool aging hipsters are actually just deeply nostalgic for their youth.
