I'm sorry for how off topic this is, but @zzzeek, is there any way you'd be willing to prove you are who your profile says you are?
I've become so suspicious of accounts recently. Especially ones that are constantly posting political content. They often seem to follow a very similar pattern where they all have a conveniently well filled out profile, strongly linking the account to a seemingly real person. But I'm wondering whether such accounts are actually real or if they're imposter accounts; effectively stealing someone's identity for social proof.
Is there any way you can change a single word or pixel on any of your sites to show that you actually own them? Or some other method? I'm really curious. If you don't want to, that's fine, I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm truly just trying to research into the topic, truly just trying to learn what's real and what isn't.
This sounds like the order was paused while they go through court.
The reality however is that presidents have very broad power to restrict the ingress of aliens into the country, and so unless there is some new legal wordplay and generous judges I don't see Harvard winning this one. I really wish they'd just get rid of their DEI program and stop playing chicken with their students futures.
Unrelated but I wonder what will happen to Harvard's US News ranking in a year or two
I was referring to the "in defiance of court order", and I was being sarcastic. Sorry, thought it would be obvious. Yes, they have a history of doing that.

You think someone made a fake account with my name on hacker News ... In 2007? Look at my joined date.
I'm standing in a pizzeria in Manhattan right now without server access but mostly this is weird . Feel free to look at my hachyderm account right now

I predict that the administration will deny entry to said international students in defiance of the judge’s orders.
That perspective seems too limited. Why not simply ignore the judge's order altogether?
Why, do they have a history of doing that?

And the students that get past that line of defense will simply get a visit from ICE.
They don't have to send that many El Salvador to send a message.
