On the left is an Onion headline from March. On the right is Reuters, today.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

Side note: After robbing William Brattle's house in 1752, Robin was sold to a Boston doctor as punishment. In the doctor's household, Robin had access to medicines and poisons. He is the one who gave Mark and Phillis the arsenic they used to poison their enslaver.

Classic win-now move. You have to give Pittsburgh credit for going for it while their championship window is open.

Released as a single 35 years ago to this very day, R.E.M.’s Shiny Happy People. I was nine when it was released. If you’d told me then that 30+ years later I’d spend a couple of hours designing a parody of The Shining poster, I’d probably tell me to grow up. Kids can be so ruddy perceptive.

This time last year ICE agents came to Worcester to take a mother from her kids and community members showed up resist and it ended up being one of the first glimpses of a budding new domestic occupation campaign. Tonight we’re doing a live podcast w a bunch of ppl who were there to reflect !!

I attended five Boston public schools. Teachers saw potential in me when I was just a kid in public housing with the odds stacked against me. On National Teacher Day: Thank you to every educator who believes in their students. You change lives.

an all time great baseball TV moment

“A #Massachusetts police chief has had enough with protesters of a local ICE office, saying the near-daily demonstrations are straining his department’s public safety resources.” wow that's really unfortunate has he tried quitting and getting a real job?

More like Ass State Police am I right folks

Remember that when RI Energy’s parent PPL bought National Grid 3 years ago the McKee administration left hundreds of millions of dollars on table that my Office had to sue to recover for RI’ers. And the McKee administration OPPOSED us b/4 Judge Stern. That’s what I mean by leaving RI’ers adrift.

This is why there is no giving a single inch on “AI.” I do not give a fuck if “it actually is helpful for some things.”

Sam Altman has a new plan to make money from generative AI: he wants intelligence to be treated like water or electricity — and we’ll all have to pay him for it. His chatbots are degrading people’s ability to retain information and think critically. Now he wants to sell smarts back to us.

My favorite CoPilot story is when CoPilot told me it could help me solve a problem if I forwarded a bunch of emails to it at [email protected]. So I did, then it told me it couldn’t see them. On further inquiry, it confessed it did not have an email address.
