I'm not involved in this discourse, but my read is that we're being asked to to entertain race science (racism) by people who feel communism (using taxes to help people) is an ideological red line.

We took some swings on Blue Prints tonight. Every time we got junk from a dig, we'd get two dice. 4 triggers would unlock all doors. Went all-in on green rooms. Pulled five-FIVE!-digs with NOTHING in them, not even junk. Day ended with four locked doors and only two dig triggers. Team in shambles.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Name a non-LotR character who is a cool and good person but would nevertheless set land speed records for getting fucked up by The One Ring.

This is just the end-form of EULAs, right? "You give us money and in exchange we are accountable for nothing."

Feeling better, but I'm also on a lot of drugs. Was awake for most of today. No vomiting. Ate something for the first time since Wednesday. Rewatching an old KOTOR run by MATN.

Get ready for Star Trek: Elon Musk High School (based on works by Ayn Rand).

I'm running a bad fever, but what if the House filed one impeachment against Trump and Vance (and Hegseth)? Would Johnson get it passed because he's next in line? Could the House scramble to elect a new speaker during the Senate trial(s)? Then I get a pony.

North Carolina’s Democratic governor warns that the absentee ballot rejection rate is twice as high as in 2022 thanks to last-minute changes by Republicans. He recommends voting in person if you can (early voting is even better!) wcti12.com/news/local/g...

Trump vs. Conservatives calling James Talarico a gay freak

When leaders test the limits of power what does it mean for the people?
In 1860, Frederick Douglass reminded us the Constitution belongs to the people.
It’s time to reclaim the promise of “We The People” & demand it include ALL the people…..equally.
THEN IS NOW. Our future is ours to shape. VOTE. 🗳️

My dog isn't very smart, but sometimes I've got food in my pocket, I'm hungry, and I don't eat that food. So maybe my dog doesn't think much of my intelligence eitehr.
