Morrison said Naqvi walked walked and hitchhiked to a hotel after being released from the detention center in WI.
Naqvi's sister Sarah Afzal also said the WI facility denied she was ever held there.
(I was told the same thing when I called the WI facility in the wee hours of Saturday morning.)
Naqvi was reportedly detained alongside work colleagues, also US citizens and green card holders. All have since been reported released.
Throughout her ordeal, her phone pinged its location first from the Broadview facility and then from the Wisconsin detention center.
Watching people in other states posting about their outrageous gas prices as a Californian (kidding, kidding, it all sucks)
God I hate this idea. People are not one more image of a dead baby away from radicalisation. We don't lack will, we lack any real means to act on our will because the left has ceased to be a political project and become a few thousand people trying to Post their way out of Posting.
"I think the LLM is conscious" makes a lot more sense when you realize a lot of people don't grasp the interiority of other people.
If you view other people as a series of inputs and utilities, it makes a lot of sense that you would see inert code awaiting your prompt as conscious.
Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.
The entire operating theory of a large strain of leftist thought is that a relentless focus on class will get Nazi and Nazi-adjacent right-wing white men to turn socialist instead. Any evidence of that theory is passionately embraced as an article of faith, no matter how absurd it actually is. 2/x
If you’re looking for character, individuality and real significance, go Zin, from vines planted in another era of American history altogether.

This reminds me of one of my random pet peeves which is the (American) vague idea that Christianity came to Ireland via Cromwell. Or through Roman imperial conquest. Or somehow both. IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THINK FOR TWO SECONDS
Can't remember who said it, but its so true. The second you start posting 'reasonable concerns' about trans people you cease to ever post normally again.
one challenge in decluttering now is that every time I think about getting rid of something 20+ years old that I probably won't rebuy later but might conceivably have to, I wonder if a replacement of the same quality would even be available
I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)
To take this seriously a sec: when your political-economic system allows massive inequality to explode, it creates a class of people who have no material problems but do have the resources & power to make their trivial irritations the central business of politics—at immense material cost to others.
One was an English professor (who'd grown up a rancher and was having none of that) and the other had a men's clothing store and worked in a lumber mill
Sometimes my brain digs up incredibly detailed academic information and then drops it into my dreams at random.
Why did my brain decide that one dream needed some exposition about the fine points of doctrinal and linguistic differences underlying the Great Schism? It was completely out of nowhere
Politicians and journalists on X keep referencing right-wing obscurities as major political issues, and keep framing major political issues of the day from a right-wing perspective. Getting your perspective from X is even worse and is more misleading than mindlessly following polling numbers.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
These folks need to hear from you yesterday 👇
8. In the United States, Pete Hegseth forced Scouting America to agree to classify members by sex assigned at birth, eliminate diversity initiatives, and effectively out and segregate transgender scouts from their peers. Girl Scouts of the USA, however, has yet to see the same regression.
the thing that the Democratic base cannot abide above all else right now is Handing It To Them
and being anti-trans is, in fact, Handing It To Them
don't do that, it's bad morals and bad politics
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!
Context:
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

When we say Democrats have tools to use that they don’t, this is what we mean.
It is a choice.
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
Apparently we all, not just famous people, need to find a legal way to prevent our likeness from being used after death now
love when I'm in the military and my boss is, like, "Time for Armageddon!!!!"
just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.
you have until March 23rd to comment.
i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.
One of the most popular stopovers in Big Sur has been decimated — and no one knows why.
Sometime last week between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday afternoon, the flowers filling Calla Lily Valley were cut down and the leafy green plants stomped and thrashed.

“It’s a choice to ensure zero abortions."
Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape.
"Liberal" has really become the "woke" of.... Well, everyone. I honestly have no idea what anyone means by it anymore except "thing I don't like" (and/or "stupid people I don't like")
