Thank you for your email. I am currently living in a dystopia and have no patience for email. If your matter is truly urgent, please send it to someone in Canada or New Zealand. I’ll reply in 2028, when I’m done screaming.

we know this, but a reminder: anytime ICE CBP etc says they’re drawing down their presence in a city, it’s bullshit. whatever their numbers, lawless federal agents remain behind & still cause havoc & kidnap people. Also relocated agents just go somewhere else to destroy lives. Abolish ICE end DHS

The spreadsheet on this clay tablet, which is almost 4,000 years old, is organised into columns for furrowed area, grain produced, land not sown, and the field’s name.
The first field is called “Of the soldiers who stood in for their fathers”.
It’s ancient Excel, but I find that incredibly moving

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

In related news, judges *must* start holding AUSAs in contempt (and then locking them up) if we want this to stop without more bloodshed.

It's the platonic ideal of a halftime show, it was positively *chaste* by those standards, and it's everything that Conservatives say they want championed in culture more.
But because
A) It's black, brown, and spanish-speaking people
B) Some of the dancers were men dancing with men
They hate it.

Well one silver lining for when AI collapses is that once that data centers are defunct, they can be repurposed into hydroponic growth centers for vegetables considering they already have access to freshwater, we just gotta collapse this shit before the aquifers dry up since soil is degrading.

It's also invaluable if you didn't manage to see any shows along the tour.
did you see Patti Smith on her recent Horses 50th Anniversary tour? Then you will enjoy my chapbook about a week of shows I saw in Chicago, NYC & Boston. it's an old-fashioned tour diary, like a blog, only you hold it in your hands!
