Or I might be getting a migraine. But we've definitely been too much in the news.

Our state has been in the news too much lately. I can no longer look at its name and tell whether it's spelled correctly.

"Normal" is the weapon of the enemy.

We do not need it.

We will not use it.

Oh yeeeeeaaahhhhh

The sincere belief that this affects only "stupid people" is actually a pretty large part of the problem. No one is immune to propaganda, especially not people who think only "stupid people" are

Well, not the whole team. I do have some sense of my limitations.

Thank you! And yes, your artisinal metalcraft experience is exactly why I asked you. Any old person can make peen jokes without being informative.

I think a lot of smart and/or competent people have real trouble wrapping their heads around the idea that sometimes the answer to: Why are they doing that? is simply that the person in question is a cheese-brained dipshit who has bern promoted far beyond their level of competence.

What would be typical uses for these?

Safety Alert FDA analysis has determined that certain dietary supplements labeled as tejocote (Crataegus mexicana) root are adulterated because they were tested and found to be substituted withyellow oleander (Cas...

More products added to the FDA's warning about poisonous oleander in supplements containing Brazil seeds (or nuts) and tejocote root. The agency discovered the problem in September but has not been able to fix it due to the refusal of sellers to recall the products or inability to contact them.

You're not a fool. Hope has been absolutely necessary to all the work that's been done here. It's zero reflection on you that he didn't rise to this moment or that hope while you did what was needed.

If anyone needs to know, shoe size and penis size are unrelated and wearing large shoes as an attempted visual proxy is like wearing a stuffed codpiece but on your feet I guess

A reminder - we do not measure poverty by what is left at the end of the month, we measure it by how much someone has coming in.

Budgeting doesn't change that.

I'm reminded of being in a small history museum with a display talking about Winnipeg being settled by "Scots and Orkneymen". My first thought was, "Oh, there was a fight over this language."

Hemlock and Silver by T. Kingfisher. The cat and rooster are important. The conversation is just one of those fun things that happens in her books and her life.

"I'm reading the part of the book where our heroine startles the talking cat by explaining a rooster's brain is smaller than its testicles."

"That sentence did not go where I expected it to."

We're not going to talk about the fact that I had to find and delete all the Microsoft app and library files on my Mac and reinstall to get it to display the prompt that let me change which MS account I use on Office Home without 365.

No, we're just going to sit silently for a bit and *look* it.

1/x:

"The courts" are listed here as a means of finding the truth.

That's ... not wrong. But I wish more people understood that the purpose of the court system isn't to find truth. The purpose is to determine when asserting the coercive power of gov't is justified.

LOL

It’s perfectly fine to celebrate a win with “and” instead of “but.” Like, hellz yeah and looking forward to the next win! As opposed to, sure it’s a start but it hardly matters when…

Worry? No. Embrace? Yes.

I choose to believe they will continue to be deterred by the legend of the Kevin.

I was reading this interview from @annehelen.bsky.social on boys choirs, and the good they can do boys in terms of gender expression.

Walk with me.

“When they stomped over the constitution, you brought out giant paper mache puppets of bears and owls while plastered dinosaur statues watched from the yard” – Poet Bao Phi, reading a new poem at the Minnesota state capital on Arts Advocacy Day this week

“I’ve asked God to forgive me, which he has.”

God could not be reached for comment.

Well, you were.

I'm quite sure of it.

I really appreciated Disobedient Women, about women who fought church abuse from the inside. Having gotten to talk to Sarah a bit about this book, I'm excited to read her coverage of women who've left.

I had one who was an insurance salesperson/resort owner-operator/shell crafter. You've got my vote.
