What do I talk about here? What are my Voice issues?

* Police and official misconduct
* Wrongful convictions
* Human trafficking
* Justice reform

I also follow genealogy, veteran's issues, history, and a variety of other topics. It's that whole "Writer Unfocused" concept.

Busy weeks ahead with back-to-back shows, college football chaos, and some curious twists in the Shine Solar bankruptcy. Plus, Spotify Wrapped surprises and a long-overdue blogroll update.

No "birthright citizenship" means nobody can prove they are a citizen. If you have any immigrant ancestor and you cannot prove lawful status at that time, even if it was 1830, you citizenship is in doubt.
Take this as far back as you like. The maximal consequence is that everyone must show a chain of citizenship or lawful permanent residency at time of birth for every ancestor to the point of immigration.

You're going to want to sit down for this.

Or maybe not.

Kohler has started selling a smart camera. For your toilet. Yep, a camera.

And in typical #IOT fashion, lo and behold, it's not secure.

I asked the librarian if they had any books on amplifiers.

She said, “Yes, what volume would you like?”

Here's my #SpotifyWrapped if you're insanely bored. I should point out that 6 of the first 10 (and 8 of the first 20) belong to my "Wakeup" playlist, so that skews things more than a little bit.

I'm originally from Texas. There are times I'm not really proud to say that.

Why is it always the Decalogue they want posted? Why isn't ever the Beatitudes?

And if posting the Decalogue makes people behave, why aren't churches the safest places around?
