Excellent piece at "McSweeney's": For those who want to preserve everything, no matter how toxic, for the sake of maintaining an accurate historical record...
"As Your Doctor, I Am Protesting the Removal of Your Tumor Because I Don’t Want to Erase Your Medical History"
Really, really basic question: If the shirts aren't offshore imports (and I certainly don't know either way in this case), why would Customs... Immigration and Customs Enforcement... have any jurisdiction to even ponder the licensed-vs-parody question? Their the "import police"; there's no plausible domestic infringement assignment for ICE, as far as I know. Tip for parodists: manufacture domestically.
Cancer patients must really piss off the team... clinical shorthand for "metastasis" yields terms like "bone mets" and "brain mets". Although I think those are actually cousins of the team mascot, Mr. Met.
"... a man completely enthralled by people in uniforms."
One of the many articles analyzing the choice of an Army general as Chief of Staff suggests that the young Donald, exiled to military school by his own father to be brought up "properly", learned to view the officers who subjugated him as surrogate fathers; they provided the only structure in his otherwise miserable, chaotic life. And now, when chaos swamps Trump's I'm-in-control mindset, it's a strong, dominant military (father) figure he turns to.
(Another faculty figure from that time also reports that young Donald was "the most manipulative student" he'd met before or since, and that he always managed to get exactly what he wanted.)
Trying to recall whether it was Arby's or that other cowboy-themed chain that wouldn't place the order unless you actually spoke the words "holster o' fries".
Futile effort or not... Gigi Sohn's article is a masterwork of clarity and forethought. My brain was a raging thunderstorm of unrelated, ill-sequenced rants on the NN topic, but by using her structure, I was able to craft a calm, reasoned discourse with a beginning, middle and end. I've changed the odds my comment might be useful, from billion-to-one (lunatic potty-mouthed screeching) to million-to-one.
If only the family had let the dogs watch more "Law and Order" or other police shows, the animals would have lain down and rolled over, and not shown so much "contempt of cop". That's certainly been proven to be a valid reason for police to shoot anyone they meet, especially if their fur is brown.
The only thing missing here is a property seizure... say, 22 lbs. of Poodle Chow and two stuffed chew toys. Check the property room.
They're sincere, of course! "No external value", beyond managing one's account. So while you could make changes to someone's cell, landline, TV or Internet service, you couldn't use that information externally, for example, to buy a can of peas at a supermarket. No problem, bro!
I'll admit I first look at think tanks with a jaundiced eye... but a little bit of research on the principals and individuals involved -- their prior commercial relationships, publications, supported issues -- gives a pretty quick insight into their legitimacy. Copia Institute easily passes, of course.

For sale? Really? In the stories I've read, the chief gets to keep 'em, and drive 'em around town.
But if they're auctioning cheap, cool cars, especially with secret hiding places, I'm down with that. Keep on seizin'!
