I have decided to celebrate the adoption of my foster child with a little house present for the day of the signing.

The only time I hear the phrase "personal liberties" is when someone is taking them. I never hear that term used in a positive manner.

It should be an easy fucking ask for my bank to notarize my uncontested adoption papers, but apparently it's too high risk. So that's how my day is going.

1. Major exclusive breaking news: Marco Rubio may have just banned trans foreigners seeking visas with correct gender markers from US Entry. A new cable, effective immediately, says visas must contain assigned sex at birth and should be rejected if they don't. Subscribe to support our journalism.

A media uproar forced an anti-speech politician to drop his frivolous attack on the free press. Same as in Marion, KS, Atmore, AL and elsewhere. The press needs to keep fighting back with ink against this kind of bullying. It’s effective, plus it's newsworthy. www.fox13memphis.com/news/mississ...

A Trump pardon is as expansive as a 9/11 AUMF.

True thesis, but this review misses two things: Sam refused the serum, and he wears a Wakandan suit. His source of power is mostly Black, with the shield being the only thing he has of white origin. Wish I could've read more about how that plays into the analysis.

Today, #SCOTUS declined to hear @ij.org's case, Jimerson v. Lewis, seeking to hold a SWAT commander accountable for ordering his team to raid the wrong home, ignoring obvious evidence. Justices Sotomayor & Jackson wanted to grant cert, but 4 justices are needed. ij.org/press-releas...

If I am spending money on a robot, I better not have to help it into a clean bodysuit after my child spills grape juice all over the thing.

At a service project today, our job was to decorate snack bags for unhoused kids at our local shelter. I don’t know if this child is old enough to understand the many layers of their drawing, but it is amazing.

This is the second headline I’ve seen that subverts a death idiom to say dude is still alive. What the fuck is going on?

After yesterday’s press conference there was one thing she could have done to drive the point home… it was a layup. And nothing. What a waste.

A new challenger approaches. I kind of think my boss is taking out work stress on the DnD crew.

Just got out of a meeting in which I yelled a bunch (like, a lot. seriously.) at some government bureaucrats because of some gross mishandling of my foster child's adoption process. Now I get to send them a letter which includes this.

It’s really something that the people who don’t want to saddle their children with the country’s debt also want to use coal and gas power.

This is an interesting thread. I guess it is useful to rebut the points being made on a historic understanding of context and definition. But it is insane that we've gotten to this point. Like, the op-ed should never have been published in the NYT. We are past the thin end of the wedge, here.

I love how these fucking guys are tweaking the risks of air travel to be closer to the risks of getting a neurolink implant.

I never thought about it this way. Mostly because government abuse wins via avoidance, too. It’s not the gov part that’s important here, it’s the concept of society. We all win when crashes, wars, and pandemics are avoided. Many times, gov leads the charge, but it’s society who benefits.
