“These travelers were denied entry after attempting to enter the U.S. under false pretenses. One used a Visitor visa, the other the Visa Waiver Program,” CBP Assistant Commissioner Hilton Beckham said in a statement. “Both claimed they were touring California but later admitted they intended to work – something strictly prohibited under U.S. immigration laws for these visas.”

Provided that that’s true, and I’m not saying it definitely is, that would be a valid reason to deny entry.

“Asperger’s” is not a thing anymore. It’s all Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) now. And Hans Asperger was “a bit of a Nazi.”

If you really want to push buttons, team up with a woman in your class, each of you wearing the exact same clothes, where those clothes are “traditionally female.” You show up first, get the funny look and the “Oh, you’re going to do this now?” - then your co-conspirator walks in and stands next to you.

Narrator: She didn’t.

I can’t tell if “Look Outside” is the name of a real game, or a sarcastic-not-sarcastic commentary on current events.

English spelling rules, and some vocabulary and grammar, were mostly crystallized around the end of the 16th century, with the form kind of arbitrarily chosen to be (mostly) from southeast England.

English grammar rules and some spelling were asserted by fiat, by linguists who wanted English to be “more Latin.”

“Plans.”

Very recently, some people started receiving images that allegedly show a grisly murder. (I have not seen such an image myself. I can’t speak to whether the image(s) are “real.”) Bad enough that the main Nicole comm got locked down, and people are wondering whether law enforcement should be involved.

It would probably be something that fediverse instance admins ought to put in place, considering the dark turn that the Nicole thing has taken. Dual purpose: prevent spam/scam/bot accounts, offset hosting and administration costs for a platform that should remain otherwise unmonetizable.

I’d pay it.
