still really proud of this piece - I wrote it before the theft software we've been falsely calling "A.I." became ubiquitous, but I think it still outlines all the ways these ghoulish processes are an affront to the dignity of the living and the dead.

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

Seth is on record as wanting to throw trans folks under the bus. Ed is old, but does not want to do that. Ed also, isn't a one of the pudding brained oldsters. He's actually doing his gotdam job.

Eff Seth, is what I'm saying.

And we're just seeing this one series of chats. Guys like this are all over the GOP now. And these young ones are the future of the party.

It's going to get a lot worse around here before it starts to get better.

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

Since the Alien Registration Act of 1940, every noncitizen has been required to carry their documents with them at ALL times. That applies to every green card holder, every tourist, every foreign student, etc...

No admin in the modern era has EVER tried to enforce this law.

(e)Personal possession of registration or receipt card; penalties
Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d). Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.

Because stuff like this is still far too common. I’m a blonde lady with a yeehaw accent & people are pretty comfortable letting loose around me. It’s everywhere. It’s not some rare shameful thing. And it’s an utter waste of everyone’s time.
