Somebody asked me if I had any intention of picketing ICE HQ in Portland.

No.

Not to put too fine a point on it, I don’t want to give Cheeto an excuse to send in the Marines. The shit I’ve seen these costumed clowns do? I would find myself tempted to rashness

Be bad in all kinds of ways.

Sure. And if you are writing science fiction or fantasy, you can equip aliens with things that work otherwise. But the exceptions will be relatively few, and need be noted if they deviate from the basic human model. Writer's responsibility.

My ignorance is vast, and today I came across Searle's Chinese Room and the Turing Test.

If you heard of those? Look 'em up and wander through the halls of what mind might be ...

I don't know if it is true, but I heard that the Republicans are considering a new symbol to represent their party, and have narrowed it to two choices.

But -- so hard to decide!

Why not both?

Fat Man and Little Boy.

Wish I'd come up with that one. (These, as I'm sure you recall from history, were the code names for the first two --and only --atomic bombs yet used in warfare. Metaphors now being applied to other things that have bombed recently.)

James Comey helped give us Cheeto V1. Any indictment of him for lying to the Senate works for me. He makes pond scum look like a higher life-form. If he gets what he deserves? They'd have to be able to reanimate him forty or fifty times. At the least.

So the ICE shooter was apparently a young-white-disaffected edgelord, a not-funny-comedian, and a Libertarian.

Oh, my. Who would have guessed?

Did anybody check Patel’s pockets for a Magic Marker?
