cis man coming into my replies to blame us for why cis people refuse to treat trans people with human dignity we didn't create this problem, cis people did. it is your responsibility to fix it.

Would love it if we had a disability system that didn't cause me to have to ask "does dying four months into your attempt to return to work constitute an Unsuccessful Work Attempt?"

My first 5 TTRPGs played: 1. Holmes Basic (grandmother was given a Blue Box to pass on to me) 2. 1e AD&D 3. 4e D&D 4. Transylvanian Adventures (DCC mechanics, but Hammer Horror themed) 5. DCC I had Vampire friends in middle school which would have gotten it to number 2 if I'd actually played.

These parents must have a lot of money to spend on fresh blue crab, because picking your own meat is the only situation where this is acceptable.

In some areas, Bari Weiss has maintained CBS’s standards

Check out that cop who tried to steal the house of the guy he found dead in a wellness check. He absolutely did not want to be photographed after posting bond.

NYPD arresting an ICE goon for trying to steal someone off the streets of NYC. RESPECT!!!

The AI in the second scene can't remember who's ICE and who's NYPD. The "ICE agent" being arrested has a large ICE patch on his back, but an NYPD shoulder shield. And one of the "NYPD officers" doing the arresting is wearing an ICE beanie.

That is not an NYPD shoulder patch, it's AI generated gibberish. That is not what ICE uniforms look like. Real ICE agents have a single patch which reads both POLICE and ICE.

Quick, I need someone admitted to the USDC for District of Alaska.

But have you intervened in the lawsuit demanding that Carol Beecher step down as elections director to avoid confusion?

I disavow Carol Beecher

Liz Dye@lizdye.bsky.social

Note that the defendant, AK elections director Carol Beecher, is the one who tried to keep Dan J. Sullivan off the ballot. Wondering if this is a collusive effort to get a stipulated settlement, as in MO with SOS Hoskins and the gerrymandered map kerfuffle. www.elections.alaska.gov/wp-content/u...

Could be handy in Cape Coral to hop over canals.

#Florida Gov. Ron DeSastrous promises new flying Tesla will be certified as safe to operate in FL, suggests it could be used to hop over golf carts at retirement mecca The Villages (where the residents frequently wreck those golf carts). www.clickorlando.com/news/florida...

Was on a late evening flight recently and the only other person in my row was an elderly woman in the aisle seat who fell asleep with her thumb poised over right-wing slop on the Facebook feed she'd been scrolling.

Just got in my DM screen from the latest Draw Steel Kickstarter. I love that they put little affirmations at the top of each panel. "Relax, this is going to be awesome" "Your ideas are neat" "The are already having a good time" "Are they bored? Are you bored? Orcs attack!"

I cannot stress strongly enough the need to click through and see who they're accusing of being an "actual MAGA child rapist," for pure entertainment value.

Snore Cardgage@snorecardgage.bsky.social

Oh you're like an actual MAGA child rapist. Yea, you Trumpers should be penalized. It won't be enough to makeup for what you've done to the world, but a lifetime of servitude is all that you're good for now. Best case scenario is that you freaks shut the fuck up and repent for what you've done

Biological essentialism and eugenics, but leftishly!

Snore Cardgage@snorecardgage.bsky.social

You can't rehabilitate MAGA. Like, genuinely. There have been numerous peer-reviewed studies from Harvard, South China, and others that conclude, with certainty, that MAGA brains are literally different than Human brains - they don't have higher-level functions, the nodes are physically non-existent

My favorite word of the day, pneumothoraces. That's just a delightful pluralization. I suspect less delightful if you're the person the word requires pluralizing for.

Riley was a terrible character on Buffy, but he did get to deliver one of my very favorite lines: "It turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of apocalypse"

My old neighbor was collecting SSI in spite of assets well in excess of the limit. Plus, he owned a duplex which, while exempt as an asset because he was living in one half, he was collecting unearned income from as rent. But he was an old white guy, so I doubt I'll be able to collect anything.

Incentivizing Trump voters to call in their suspicions about about black and brown people? What's the worst that could happen?

This post contains misinformation. 18 USC 1425 provides for fines OR imprisonment, not both, and contains no provision for automatic revocation of citizenship. The statute of limitations on § 1425 is also only 10 years. In this case the purported offense occurred more than 25 years ago.

Huh. Turns out the Community Notes and Violations account that purports to call out misinformation doesn't like having its misinformation called out.

This post contains misinformation. The account appears to be referring to this post by noted satirical news site, America's Last Line of Defense. No civil claim has been brought against Lemon.

Well, it doesn’t seem to have stopped them on YouTube. I just saw the ad run for me. I would also note that the ad posted by Bill in the thread is NOT the ad reported on by the Herald.

Let’s check in on The Free State of Florida, where the GOP is pursuing criminal prosecution of anyone who mentions a grand jury investigation that implicates the governor’s wife and a sitting US senator www.miamiherald.com/news/article...

I once did this with an SSA ALJ (though they don't have direct sanction power, so the risk was lower). Instructed my client not to sign a document the judge was ordering him to. It did result in a lot of yelling, but the client didn't sign. I had warned him in advance I expected this to happen.

AkivaMCohen@akivamcohen.bsky.social

"I'm going to instruct them not to follow your order" - the GASP I just gasped. (Yes, I'm an hour behind. Catching up. But holy shit)

Holy shit

Judge Reyes is ordering Woodward to refile submission from last night with as many DOJ attys willing to sign it. J: DOJ attys: raise your hand if you youj're willing to sign it. Woodward: not an appropriate request. J: right now, for rule 11 purposes, which other attys willing to sign this brief /6

OK, so since I was just reminded of the case, it's story time about my very favorite bit of Social Security disability related case law. When SSA is evaluating a disability claim the very first question they're asking is "are you actively working and earning substantial money?"
