Love is so powerful (it keeps JK Rowling away from you)

Oh. One day after Coonerama at the White House, Trump fired the Black chairman of the joint chiefs. And you won’t hear the negroes who kiss Trump’s ass say a goddamn thing.

I wrote angry about the purging of the US military. saideman.blogspot.com/2025/02/why-...

More subtle outcomes of litigation. Courts have not just blocked DOGE and other actions, but also forced Gov to produce answers and commitments. Friday night's Treasury decision requires: Gov certifying what is the security clearance process for DOGE team; revealing authorizations for DOGE; more⬇️

How many researchers, park rangers, nurses, janitors, investigators, and prosecutors had to be fired to pay for this little exercise in autofellation?

This is resistance.

probably fine right

Trump to fund new National Endowment for Inhumanities

A joyous, if slightly eerie, 100th Birthday of Edward Gorey, to all who celebrate. Fond memories of getting to see Dracula with Gorey's stage sets, played as a farce. (bats wallpaper! stormy dark clouds above the castle on the main curtain, complete with red LED twinkly bat eyes as they flew!)

Good morning, beautiful people :3 I hope that you are having a lovely weekend, like so! Please continue being delightful <3

"I heard a Xturi refer to you as a 'Noagai'," Captain Jones said. "Is that a title?" Her navigator, a Yuun, nodded. "Have you heard the saying 'For every problem, there's a Human that can solve it'?" "No?" "Well, how to find that Human?" "Er..." "They ask a Noagai." "A... You know a guy?"

After work mood Just posting one of my old animations from 5 years ago.

Prosecutors: its bad enough Luigi killed a class of people whose industry routinely murder citizens and most jury members probably have direct experience of it, but did he have to be so fuckable too

Transportation Secretary (and former FOX host) Sean Duffy gets shouted down at Union Station in Los Angeles announcing the scrapping of the high-speed rail project that would link it with San Francisco.

Hegseth is going to fire every woman or Black person in military leadership.

So the media could do a better job, but also the people we're talking about are not reading news stories, watching the news, or even documentaries. They get their "news" from Facebook posts or message boards. They believe every urban legend because they don't trust anything that challenges them

“PepsiCo confirmed Friday that it's ending some of its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives” Shame on PepsiCo. Black people built Pepsi. In some markets, Black people weren’t even allowed to buy Coke: they had to buy Pepsi instead. www.theatlantic.com/national/arc...

I was just talking to my doctor today about medical tourism for seasonal vaccines. What an amazing future we’ve created for ourselves.

This made me so angry I have to not actually say what it made me think.

i mean, literally, the answer to the question here is "the people of ohio, and, specifically, the ohioan vice president of the united states and the administration he is a part of"

Have now scrubbed the toilets, hired a guy to fix the dryrotted garage door frame, and arranged to incorporate as a business, if you want to know how my effort to avoid writing this scene is going.

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

Oh my god, if this works it would redeem the whole damn week.

For those leaving audible and wanting to convert their purchased audiobooks to ones that can be used in other players: You'll need to download your library. The browser app can be memory heavy, so expect the browser to reload every few books. ffmpeg is more stable, but more complex.

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I went to see a really good band tonight. Great musicians. Right up until they played Dixie for their closing number. "This one's for two of my great-great grandfathers." I walked out.

Literally have no clue how the media isn't covering this story 24/7 when its tailormade for ratings too given how TMZ'd people are with everything. This is one of the worst human beings in the country and he's co-president and the press just refuses to cover it in any meaningful way.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

It's looking like Trump might actually bend the knee to Vlad Putin the butcher in front of the world. Massively embarrassed and angry, our military, intelligence, and justice system were so weak that they allowed the end of our Democracy.

Usually when states go to court alleging federal coercion in violation of the 10th Amendment there is not a literal video of the President doing it.

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

In a feat of impeccable timing, the wonderful editors at the Lewis & Clark Law Review have finished their work on my article, "Is Originalism Bullshit?" The final version is now online at SSRN: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Last night, I stumbled onto this reference website that I'd never heard of before, and am blown away by its quality. Highly, highly recommended. www.dimensions.com

I never get the question: "Merien, how do I know if I'm at a Nazi rally?". Mainly because people know. People do not find themselves at Nazi rallies by accident. But in case you're wondering, here are some clues.

This right here

ProPublica found that some of the largest health insurers have created a playbook that prevents people from getting the mental health care they need. Join us tomorrow, Feb. 20 at 4 p.m. ET for a virtual conversation as we discuss barriers to care. RSVP: https://propub.li/4k4GYWm

Affirmation Coyote roamed the real Oregon Trail back in the day. So many dead cattle and pioneers to eat! Just avoid the ones who died of dysentery.

Longer article here, which has a nice picture of my book, so: winteriscoming.net/the-murderbo...

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

One of my best friends and coworkers was told he’s most likely going to be laid off tomorrow because he’s a probationary employee He’s only probationary because he’s a veteran hire and they have a 2 yr rather than 1 yr period He’s the highest performing person here This is so fucking stupid
