Someone suggested elsewhere that he should order the IRS to release Trump's tax returns and those of anyone and everyone associated with him. Personally I think that would be a good move because then the campaign can follow up with, "Do you see now the danger we face if Trump wins?"

I've always had the impression it makes no assumptions at all about how your brain works because it just doesn't care. It does things the way the file structure dictates and it's up to you to keep up. Or not, in my case - I have three things I can do in git, and I stop there.

Remember Mozilla had a list of "new things on the Web this week"? Like, literally consisting of the domains that had been registered *that week*? And it was stuff like NASA?

When I was learning to drive, my dad said I had only two goals while driving. Number one was not to hit other things. Number two was to get where I was going. My dad has given an astonishing amount of bad advice over my lifetime, but that one stuck with me.

My son-in-law applied for his green card from Germany. This meant he was denied entry until the German consular staff, understaffed since the pandemic, finished his application. Three years later. Lost him a funded doctoral position at UCLA. Nobody deals with US immigration and comes away happy.

*My* favorite part of my son-in-law's process is that he applied in Germany instead of coming here to PR and applying domestically, and then couldn't visit the United States for three years while they did fuck-all with the application, which lost him a funded PhD position at UCLA.

So, I'm American, my wife is Hungarian, and when we married we lived in Germany and spoke German together. We were walking with our moms in the park while they were both there, and of course everything had to be translated twice. One guy stopped us and said WHERE are you FROM?!?
