I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

This is bullshit—of course the US could apply diplomatic pressure to have him returned—but if it is allowed to stand, the executive branch has the power to disappear people permanently without any sort of due process. That in turn will be the end of all other constitutionally guaranteed rights.

UPDATE: The US Department of Education will move to cut off K-12 funding for Maine over Title IX policies on transgender athletes If it happens, it'd be the first time a school - let alone a state - loses all federal education funding since 1990 www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

Morning duckies! It was a bit chaotic because we're doing puppy training with all things poultry, and Sadie was very wiggly (not pictured) and Heidi (older dog) was being a PITA, but we have peas!

Absolutely gutted to learn that the "Murderbot" that is trending is a TV show. It's that little tease of an asteroid all over again.

There was a whole "West Wing" plotline where they re-engineered the White House phone lines so that President Bartlet didn't accidentally call someone and then forget he'd done it. It never paid off. It was just scene-setting: this is how a competent WH would act. Trump's out there pranking guys.

My wife is out of town for a month. I mentioned this to some of my coworkers the other day. One and only one of them, not someone I know well at all, has reacted with concern bordering on alarm. So shout out to my one perceptive colleague who can see what's what, I guess is what I'm saying.

I want to be critical of the markets for assuming Trump is lying when he denies that he's going to blink on tariffs, but it'd be pretty hypocritical of me to start asking anyone to believe him now.

It's like the old Wall Street saying, the White House can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

David Brooks, who holds no advance degrees but has nevertheless served as a visiting professor at both Duke and Yale -- solely on the basis of his conservative ideas -- thinks that universities are deeply unfair to conservative thinkers.
