Via MapSexoffenders.com, I produced a map of convicted sex offenders near the UM campus. 
Who would have guessed we’d have so many?

- Need advice: how best to respond to this (pig butchering scam?) text from nameless 437 area code "I came across your name and thought I'd ask, how did we meet again?" Obviously the best reply is none, but I was really tempted to reply either "in jail?" Or maybe "at FBI training?" Suggestions welcome February 10, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- We need an answer to why the US in the 21st century elected one of the most evil men alive to be President. I think it must have a lot to do with the collapse of crucial vetting institutions, including the Republican Party and the media. But no doubt there is also an important cultural story.

What’s “convicted” and what’s “sex offender”?
How about a map showing the location of convicted and/or arrested or suspected con-men, thiefs, DWIs, corrupt politicians, perps of violent crimes involving guns and knifes, war criminals, and writers of cheap, racy novels?????
Ok, I should be a bit more serious and professional about this. Do you now feel safer or less safe, for yourself and your family and friends, knowing where these people live? Have any of these people lived there for more than one year? If so, then they probably have not re-offended. How will you deal with these people now? Is it helpful to the community to have these people identified? Would it be equally helpful to the community to have con-men, thiefs, DWIs, etc etc similarly identified as to where they reside?
Feh! Whoda guessed you’d have so few!
Completely agreed to Doran.
