Hoya Saxa!

The scoreboard at CapitalOne Arena says, “HOYAS WIN” - Georgetown 80, Providence 79.

But the yell of all the yells,
The yell that wins the day
Is the “HOYA, #HOYASAXA!”
Of the dear old blue and gray!

HOYA

Ode to a small lump of green putty I found in my armpit one midsummer morning

AI cameras are everywhere — and people are paying the price for their mistakes Flock Safety's license plate readers are used by police in thousands of communities. When the cameras make mistakes, the consequences can be severe.

“In a dozen instances, misreads by Flock's automated license plate readers, or a lack of verification by officers, resulted in people who hadn't committed crimes being stopped at gunpoint, sent to jail, or mauled by a police dog, among other outcomes.”

I wish I could have hope that the next senator would be better, but in blood red Oklahoma it is unlikely.

Markwayne Mullin heading DHS?!? Whoever thought he would be a good in front of the cameras under pressure obviously hasn’t seen enough of his tv appearances. I’m still happy, though: Oklahoma is well rid of him as a senator. He has embarrassed us more times than I can count.

This is amazing.

So basically no one can safely open the door to people they don’t know?

“Tommy Robinson” is not just a violent racist, he is a serial criminal with a string of convictions for a broad range of crimes. In other words, exactly the type of “criminal alien” the Trump administration pretends to want to prevent from entering the U.S.

The moratorium is on enrolling new suppliers, meaning patients can get dme, just through an already existing company. Not saying they won’t have costs but it certainly isn’t the same as saying no patients can get dme.

DHS Cites Cuba And Venezuela As Law Enforcement Models For ICE In a social media post, DHS listed Cuba and Venezuela among the models for certain law enforcement practices used by ICE.

Interesting that 17 of the top 20 most selective universities in the country are on this list.

Done. Thanks for providing the contact info.

I believe the word you want is “Weltschmerz”, literally “world pain”. It is the weariness and anguish arising from your awareness of evil and suffering in the real world that clashes with your ideals.

The deployment of connected home security cameras that allow footage to be queried centrally are simply not compatible with a free society. The privacy issues are not fixable with regulation and there is no balance that can be struck. Ring should be shut down immediately and not brought back.”

I come back to this open letter (from 2020) a lot, and I’ll give it the last word. amazonemployees4climatejustice.medium.com/amazon-emplo...

The Mutombo/Mourning era saw some fabulous games.

I’m a Hoya who whole-heartedly agrees. Yes, we still have the Nova Games to get excited about, but nothing compared to the electricity in the crowd when we played the Orange.

Not just himself, but those of us who are actually sane and live in Oklahoma.

Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

The survey question about whether he had been better, worse, or as expected is likely even more negative. Many of ius predicted he would be terrible so they have put “as expected”.

"This Court does not have the power to impede removal proceedings, but it does have the power to ensure that the Government follows the law when it detains people," Dalton wrote in ordering the release of a Venezuelan man. "In this country, we don’t enforce the law by breaking the law."

"Judges across the country—the vast majority who have considered this question—have told the Government many times in the past few months that its interpretation of the law is wrong," Dalton, an Obama appointee, wrote. He added: "Members of this Bar have a duty of candor to the Court."

Not to mention that Elon Musk, Melania Trump, and many others in Trump's own circle would have been deported for violating their visas and lying on their immigrant applications.

Just a reminder that if Trump's policies had been in effect in the past, there would be no Apple (Steve Jobs is the son of Syrian immigrants), no Google (Sergei Brin immigrated from the USSR), and no WhatsApp (Jan Koum immigrated from Ukraine).

65% of all top tech companies has immigrant founders.

I think they, and Mike Johnson, deliberately avoid reading/watching social media and the news just so they can claim they don’t know.

“Central bank gold buying is NOT driving the rise in gold prices. .. [it] is part of something much bigger.

“We’re at the start of a global debt crisis, with markets .. fearful governments will attempt to inflate away out-of-control debt.”

I had the thought to check if raisins are safe for dogs after mine ate two off the floor. So grateful to the vet who promptly treated her when I found out how toxic raisins are to canines. She is doing great!

Miller’s only overlooked the Nazi claim that the blood of Christian (or in this case it would be American) children was shed for their ritual food.
