Despite masking up at the airport and on the plane, my kid has officially gotten Covid for his birthday. 😠 I really, really hate how people have stopped taking any precautions at all.

Founders: as I have written **extensively**, it is very important that the country not elect Trump and presidents are not kings Judges in 2024: hmm if I squint at the text very hard looks like maybe the founders expected--nay, even demanded--that the president be a king, so long as he is Trump

Aileen Cannon is a good example of how Project 2025 would work. You put a barely qualified fascist in every government position that matters and BINGO. Fash times in the USA!

It is impossible to check in for my flight on the website - I can only check in the app. Forget about that I don't have room on my phone or potentially data or wifi available... Also, spent 10 mins googling phone # for car rental because they don't list it. I hate this timeline so, so much.

It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

It makes me feel very much unmoored from reality to see all this *buying into* the Biden Too Old ratfuck narrative, days after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump gets to be dictator for life, just weeks after Trump became a convicted felon (oh, and there’s the Epstein stuff that just came out).

It's important to note that Trump tried to order this at least twice we know of during his regime.

With less of a check on presidential criminality than many of us had been counting on, it becomes all the more important not to elect a brazen criminal to the presidency.

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration at all to say the decision threatens the Republic. I might not have said so in 2015, before I saw how triumphantly lawless and autocratic the President could be, and how so many people would applaud it or at least shrug.

My friend and colleague Ken White has written a great thread describing some (but far from all) of the enormous problems with today's decision by Chief Justice Roberts granting Donald Trump criminal immunity on grounds never before accepted by any court. Today's decision threatens the Republic.

Real question: What can we do about the Supreme Court decision?? Anything? I feel so impotent, and also like if we don't mobilize as a society before November, we will no longer have a democracy in which we can protest.

the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on corruption is basically at a point where the only thing that counts as a bribe is someone handing a public official a giant bag of money with a dollar sign on it while saying “this is a bribe” out loud

It's not even in the top 50 reasons to fight against Trump's reelection, but do take a moment to consider how much Republicans would delight in completely ending all federal money for the arts and humanities. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/a...

Because Lutherans, Catholics, and Jews all number the biblical commandments differently, the Eagles' version sought a broader civil religious appeal by not numbering them. It's just a list of 11, or maybe 12, unnumbered, nearly-but-not-exactly biblical statements. Oh, and it was a movie promotion.

My kid"s school did a "bring your books in anything other than a backpack" day for fun, and there is nothing funnier than my 13yo bouncing up the entrance ramp with his hobo bindle.

I love this.

To enjoy it is not to say it fixes everything. You are allowed to enjoy it because it’s funny.

Went to the bathroom after all my meetings, and realize not only did I put my underwear on inside out this morning, but my pants are on backwards. That's right, I've been butt front all morning. It has been THAT KIND OF A DAY.

AI is a juggling monkey. Some people see a juggling monkey and say, OMG! A juggling monkey! Some people say, OMG! Imagine the training that went into that! Some people say, OMG! Imagine the cruelty that poor monkey must be undergoing on a daily basis. No one says, OMG! I need a juggling monkey.
