I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Pray you once more,
Is not your father grown incapable
Of reasonable affairs? Is he not stupid
With age and alt’ring rheums? Can he speak? Hear?
Know man from man? Dispute his own estate?
Lies he not bed-rid? And again does nothing
But what he did being childish?

Apparently only children and very short people can protest now according to National Park Service rules. Letter given to the protesters of the longest protest, recently kicked out, of Lafayette Park.

You asked for it! We delivered Quack-O-Grams to our members of Congress urging them to #ImpeachRFK, and get that Quack out of office!

Idea for an amicus brief: We list the powers in a chart let's say Louis XIV claimed for himself, and maybe the courts can just indicate with a checkmark which ones of those Trump doesn't have. Seems more efficient.

Good heads up especially for media: do not take a bunch if correlations by motivated actors seriously. If they don’t preregister their hypotheses and data, chances are the results are spurious and cherry picked
A short explanation of p-hacking and why it absolutely makes sense to ask HHS to release the study methods of their autism report in advance.

What's gone unsaid in all this talk about homeless people in DC is that so many in the Capital are veterans who are now having the military aimed back at them for the crime of being poor.
REPORTER: Why are troops stationed here at Union Station and at the National Mall instead of areas where crime is higher?
JD VANCE: Crime is actually extremely high here at Union Station. You have vagrants.

To the NOAA scientist that was giving out flags back at the March protest, know that your gift is getting good use. Spent the day at the Unite For Veterans Rally today. America made a sacred promise to care for those that served. Veterans aren’t waste, fraud or abuse.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

At a rally today it was noted that it took Hitler 53 to take over democracy. Today is day 53 of Trump’s 2nd presidency. I celebrated it with veterans. The right does not own patriotism.
