The Boston Globe on the strange case of the mother of Ms Leavitt’s nephew being deported. Apparently, from the quote below, his father — Ms Leavitt’s brother — wants her gone.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

There is nothing I detest more than people coopting social justice language and therapy speak to justify being harmful or jerks or harmful jerks.

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

The stories that will be told in the future about how the East Wing was torn down and rebuilt a third time are going to defy believability…
“Trump TORE IT DOWN AND LEFT IT AS A CONSTRUCTION SITE?!”
The REDCOATS were more respectful.

A million years ago I sold home improvements door to door. Unscrupulous contractors would “spike” a job, meaning they would start a little work at a property, and then go away for a month. That’s what Trump is doing with the East Wing.

Netflix is recommending me various movies “for Sagittarians”. Annoying for two reasons: using astrology as a basis for movie preferences; thinking I’m a Sagittarius for some unknown reason.

He also says despite what Steve Davis said about safety, the situation is dangerous.

I like how holiday weeks are always when everybody throws out the last bits of discourse leftovers looking for something to stick while everyone is away. "Uh, apple pie fails to note WWII era Japan's war crimes, did I get that right?"

Just when I thought they’d hit rock bottom in being stupid and evil…
Senate Republicans are going after basic vehicle-safety mandates, like automatic brakes and child safety alarms.
They claim that these safety protocols are the real reason for the car affordability crisis.
The solution they're proposing instead is autonomous vehicles.
