When I recover from the algae poisoning (acquired I suppose during the fifteen hours I spent in the reflecting pool slitting the bottom down the center with a box cutter), I really should apologize to everyone for the trouble I've caused. 619 meters is a lot longer than 350 feet, as it turns out.

A thing happened. I had to sign a new work contract today because of a pay cycle change. As I read through it, I was struck by the phrase, "Client shall not supply contractor with company uniform." "What, no uniform?" I joked to the CFO. "Go design one," he replied. BEHOLD! My new avatar!!

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Actively seeking comment as to whether broadcast media, cable media, and social media should be regulated differently when choosing to spread inane horse shit from Brenden Carr.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

While the label "Two Spirit" is a modern umbrella term the concept of gender non conforming people both existing and being accepted by Indigenous society predates colonization. Ma-Nee Chacaby explains the concept perfectly. Trans people existing is not new - history is just being erased

Me to the careers of anti-trans Dems:

NOT JUST THIS: Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers. This could be a major night in NC.

So....replacing Gregory Bovino with Tom Homan doesn't feel like much of an improvement; sort of like being told that Hannibal Lecter is being moved to another cell and now you'll be bunking with Josef Mengele.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

Given the level of Republican graft and corruption at this point, they can tear down the entire White House and the Capitol with it for all I fucking care. SNAP benefits end Nov 1. The REAL question is, how are we as Americans going to help feed our fellow citizens for the next three years?
