Just finished briefing on an interesting issue: If a fundraiser promises you that he is raising money for the families of veterans who kill themselves, and then spends all the money camping, is it intentional infliction of emotional distress to ask him how he spent the money?
The Victorian Socialists officially support breaking into homes and squatting so I thought I would take a sleeping bag and pillow and try sleep in their front office for a few nights. They threatened to call the police on me as an unhoused neurodivergent POC. Zero solidarity.
This is false, NPR did not say that. I'm locked out from writing notes yet again, can someone else? I assume the author is misquoting this article: npr.org/2025/07/04/nx-…

asked chatgpt to fact check the essay, and it did so by citing an article by claude fact checking the essay... demon haunted world fr
This is, apparently, fake. Many of the historical and legal details are just made-up, even the ones that purportedly relate to real politicians like Keir Starmer. I didn't realize this when I first read it; like most readers it seems, I just trusted that someone who wrote with…
I'm finally reading the Princess Bride for the first time, after only having seen the movie. The book is excellent, definitely better than the movie in some ways. But I have to say, the movie is better in others. I will recommend both.
