β€œThe government has been trying to terminate the 1997 Flores Settlement Agreement, which sets minimum standards for the humane treatment of children in immigration custody.” Read to understand some history and how we can try to interrupt these atrocities. #ICE #GOP #DHS #CBP

Sometimes I think about what it would be like to have a shark's soul in a human body, and I almost feel sorry for him. Also, if any shark scientists want to school me on sharks and empathy, feel free.

Here’s new and irrefutable evidence from the Epstein files that Howard Lutnick made false statements and was misleading about his interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. It hasn’t yet caused a storm. So please give it a read and share widely.

Beware of a political party that is more focused on keeping people from voting than winning their vote.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn States and financial bodies using modelling that ignores shocks from extreme weather and climate tipping points

β€œThe climate scientists we surveyed were unambiguous: current economic models can’t capture what matters most – the cascading failures and compounding shocks that define climate risk in a warmer world – and could undermine the very foundations of economic growth.”

Should be the top story everyday.

Reading the original Black Mask version of Maltese Falcon before my morning writing session. Don’t recommend. Makes me question the wisdom of even trying.

Hammett’s dialog. I’m good at dialog and I doubt I’ll ever write anything as good as that first chapter.

For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

Dude parked his car 6" into our driveway again. He saw the overlap, but didn't move his car. Should we:

1. Whack the front off his car when we back out of the garage.
2. Leave him a note "You've done this before, please stop"?
3. Let it go. You don't need to be anywhere tomorrow. (SF rules)

Starting to think that writing is the opposite of sculpting, where you cut away everything that isn't the elephant and then you have a statue of an elephant. Writing is cramming everytrhing that might possibly be connected to elephantness, and THEN hacking 85% of it out and rewriting the other 15%.

--and now it's twenty minutes later and I realize that coming on here to announce a realization was itself a delay tactic. doh. back to the page, and don't worry, Inner Perfectionist. We'll make it all better in the next round.

I came on here to post about how I just noticed that one of the reasons I procrastinate writing is that when I start writing something in my head, it sucks (of course it does, it's v1), and so my perfectionist impulse is to stop until I can write it brilliantly but that's not how it works--

real photo upon which AI iterated.

This is actual me. Clearly AI thinks fat necks are no bueno. The lower left photo is the first one. Maybe AI thought β€œshe keeps asking me for things, I better pretty her up or she’ll be at this all night. But obviously when she loses weight those wrinkles are gonna blossom.” AI is so weird.
