I called my mother, *weeping* about what the Supreme Court hearing said, and she told me Jesus Christ is coming and it will all be OK. So there's that.

You've heard of grapeshot? Last night I made a watermelon frag grenade. Chefhubby says the frozen watermelon chunks were too big but all I know is when I hit the power button the blades on the Vitamix rotated twice, lid shot up and the watermelon, it raineth down. Walls, ceiling, my bra. EVERYWHERE.

Florida passed a 25-foot-buffer law last month (it takes effect in January 2025). How many other states are working on this?
If I were worried about creeping fascism in America, I would honestly worry a bit more about this sort of thing. www.politico.com/news/2024/05...

The UK's ban on puberty blockers includes an exemption for every use other than gender dysphoria — i.e. cis kids will continue to get them with no outcry about side effects or medical evidence. It's clear what this is really about. t.co/JVGu6DdCbz

Republicans on SCOTUS wrote 26 pages of preening about "major questions of national importance" (Kavanaugh, p. 5) to justify using an extraordinary procedure to reinstate an anti-trans law with no purpose except to prevent <1,000 minors in Idaho from receiving medical care.

Here’s #LeverageRedemption writer Jamey Perry, waiting in the airport because American Air lost BOTH her wheelchairs. This problem is endemic, systemic, and bullshit. All the airlines lose and break mobility devices with startling casualness.
HERE WE FREAKING GO AGAIN I’m stuck in the Richmond VA Airport, where I have flown for the @NWBA’s National Championships WITHOUT EITHER OF THE WHEELCHAIRS I BOARDED WITH IN LOS ANGELES @AmericanAir how did you lose ALL my mobility for the weekend????? #FlyingWhileDisabled

when I was in college this utter prick used to leave long, incomprehensible critiques in the guest-log of our school's art gallery; he loved doing this so much that he'd go back to read his own entries and recite them to anyone nearby. finally, I began replying under a pseudonym: Murky Jennings.

Every day they invent new ways to use technology that suck even more than before.
A few New York City restaurants are using virtual staff members, who greet customers via Zoom from the Philippines. Some see a model ripe for abuse: The remote workers are paid $3 an hour, their management company said, while the minimum wage in the city is $16. www.nytimes.com/2024/04/11/n...

Trump hired his daughter. Guiliani put his son in the White House. George W wouldn’t have gotten to the primary without George HW. ~1/3 of Congress had a parent in politics. Mitt wouldn’t exist without George Romney’s name & money. Gorsuch’s mom. And so on. Nepotism is the GOP way. (Gift link)

Important to remember that while Kissinger was a bloodthirsty liar, relentlessly cruel and callous in the prosecution of both an illegal war and overthrowing democratically elected leaders, manifesting nightmare atrocities that make the mind reel still... He was also a real piece of shit that guy.🎈
