Wish these headlines were written with an ounce of context and awareness informing them.

Like, “Desperate LLM Technologist Looks To Avoid Industry Bubble Burst By Promising Sad, Lonely ‘Erotic’ Feature Update” was sitting right there, and yet.

This is the response I received from ICE when I inquired about the 13-year-old they abducted from Everett, Mass. on Friday:

Good afternoon, Marisa.
Please see the below from DHS on the 13-year-old alien.
Please feel free to direct any questions to them.
Respectfully,
James

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Of note, I did not see any ICE ads on HBO Max in my area tonight, which was extremely surprising yet pleasantly delightful. I saw that TNT did it though to a bunch of y'all, so please keep bombarding WBD/local broadcasting with emails and calls #AEWCollision 🤼‍♂️
