Saw a post that Google maps had updated the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. I had to check for myself. Tech bros sticking together to support 47. Ridiculous.

Yay, federal courts! It always fascinates me that anything 47 & his cronies accuse others of doing is actually what THEY’RE doing. Trying to stage a coup: check. Weaponizing [insert dept]: check. It’s all trying to deflect from their actions.

President Trump has ordered federal agencies to identify countries that pose such a significant security risk that their citizens should be barred from American soil. This “travel ban-lite” could affect international students and scholars. chroni.cl/4gmGw2C

RIP Marianne Faithfull. I think her voice and style were a perfect match for Kurt Weill songs.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

It seems that I’ve been taken in by some fake news sites and I thought I was pretty savvy. www.politifact.com/article/2017...

JUST IN: Meta agreed to pay President Trump $25 million to settle a 2021 federal lawsuit alleging First Amendment violations after his suspension from Facebook and Instagram in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack.

On social media, several Navajo Nation tribal members say they have had their nationality questioned. The accounts are not verified but Navajos who live off the reservation say they are concerned about being swept up in raids by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Watching the Star Trek movie, Section 31. I’m a Star Trek fan but this movie was pretty meh. Still, I’d be interested in seeing it made into a series where they developed the characters more.
