Got a covid booster a couple weeks ago for some extra immunity before SDCC. Now I know five people who've gotten covid in the last couple days. Stay safe out there: this thing's here to stay and it can still be dangerous.

"The Court’s curious and convoluted majority opinion turns the Constitution’s text and structure inside out and upside down, saying things that are flatly contradicted by the document’s unambiguous letter and obvious spirit.​"
Something Has Gone Deeply Wrong at the Supreme Courtwww.theatlantic.com Jurists who preach fidelity to the Constitution are making decisions that flatly contradict our founding document’s text and ideals.

@amyraehill.bsky.social Any chance you have anything nice & unspoken for, sitting around right now? I'd love to buy my wife something wonderful and spacey for our anniversary... No worries if you don't, I have backup plans. :)

Evergreen advice. It’s over when you give up and not a moment before. The Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott, too.
I say this bc I feel your pain: log off and go for a walk watch a movie and hang out with some friends or family in 1943 we were getting our asses handed to us every time we engaged the Nazis in battle and the Pacific was still very much a tossup we’re gonna get through this

Here's a favorite new pic of Yama who looks like a complete beast unit from this perspective! She's not a petite girl like the cats that Alex grew up with up with... #cat #caturday

Fascinating resource: The Smithsonian is doing 3D scanning of objects - from Apolla capsule hatches to Olympic gymnast leotards - and making them available online.... So cool and a nice reminder that the future doesn't completely suck. :) 3d.si.edu #3dprint #science

So today I learned about Girl Scout Troop 6000, a Girl Scout troop entirely of girls living in NYC homeless shelters. I also learned that you can buy all your Girl Scout cookies directly from them on-line. Which I just did. And, if anyone else wishes to, can be done here:

Bluesky has taken a step forward by *finally* allowing drag-and-drop images... And two steps backwards on Safari as it no longer loads all the page content, after the first screen worth it won't load most posts. And I can't select words in this post to edit them. Sigh. (Firefox seems to work fine.)

One thing I find fascinating about Republican voters is that Trump routinely says things like this and - you may not have heard, but the man is running for President of the United States - and nobody says outright, "WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN? WHAT THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT?"

As Ron DeSantis drops out of the race, I can at least graciously acknowledge that we may disagree on the issues, but aside from that he is a sad, pitiful excuse for a human being, a reprehensible piece of shit. God speed and fuck off forever, good sir.

I just unfollowed The Washington Post because they felt the need to overshare Golden Globe "news" tonight and I couldn't care less. This is what they feel needs the most coverage in the entire world right now, really? I guess it gets the clicks and helps pay the bills, but good grief.
