I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff “Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

‘Free reign’ or ‘free rein’? ‘Free rein’ is the one that means unrestricted liberty of action or decision. It comes from horseback riding and refers to holding the reins that control the horse loosely so as to allow the horse to freely move along at its own pace/direction.

I am old enough to remember the arrival of the truly global and astonishingly useful worldwide web. I really did not expect to witness its death, poisoned by carelessness and greed.

This isn’t hard or complicated. For people weighing in w/different versions of this theme: Musk isn’t a good guy, we forget nothing, he’s not on the team, never will be on the team. We don’t mind if this disgusting evil alliance comes apart. That doesn’t make us Team Elon. Next.

A ‘snafu’ is a situation marked by errors or confusion. ‘Snafu’ comes from WW2 and is an acronym for “Situation Normal, All F*cked Up.” Yes, really.
