1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

One of my favorite things to come out of modern super bowls is the education piece that happens on social media as symbolism in halftime shows is contextualized. It's very sexy of all of you nerds.

FYI: The little boy in Bad Bunny's #SuperBowl halftime show wasn't Liam Ramos as some have said, it was a child actor: Lincoln Fox www.instagram.com/the_lincfox/...

Is there a word for the opposite of arousal? I'm trying to explain the effect of apps-based sports betting and my opinion of the people who participate in it but I only have colorful descriptors involving sand and salt

Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So:
In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

My uncle died today. He had a fall and suffered a brain bleed. He was a wonderful person and I'm not doing great.
