We had a fantastic time! One of our friends is a serious lobster enthusiast, so the group went to celebrate a milestone birthday. Totally worth it!

Feudal Japan Bruce Wayne, dressed in black monks’ robes with a tonsure, except in the middle of the tonsure is shaved the Bat Symbol. I will never be high enough to think up an idea like this. Also there’s a shorter brown-haired woman next to him, that’s Catwoman

Another view of the Bat-tonsure. Great disguise, only works on short people

KIDDO: Batman Ninja is free on Youtube and I’m going to convince you to watch it with two screenshots

ME: I doubt that

KIDDO: So they have to disguise Batman in Feudal Japan and this is what they do. Also the brown-haired girl is Catwoman

ME: dammit

Supreme Court has sacrificed its 'ultimate responsibilty' in order to help Trump: NY Times The Supreme Court has stopped doing a core part of its job in its rush to greenlight a huge number of President Donald Trump's most controversial policies, The New York Times editorial board wrote in ...

Leonard Leo spent 35 years and $600 million building a Supreme Court to do EXACTLY what it is doing.

Paving the way for Catholic Christofascism.

And NYT spent the last 20 years covering for and protecting Leonard Leo.

Why?

Foreign-born residents and workers around Wells have reacted to the ICE threat by trying to stay out of sight. Many are scared, said a woman from southern Africa who lives near Wells and helps connect asylum seekers with social services and jobs, including in tourism businesses. The woman, who is a naturalized U.S. citizen, asked to remain anonymous out of concern for her safety. She said that following the revelation that Wells police officers were working with ICE, some local immigrants would only attend church online and are keeping their children from school.

We've reached the point where a naturalized citizen won't speak on the record "out of concern for her safety."

Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for UN food distribution in Gaza as more starve Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is run by Trump evangelicals who are openly killing Palestinians and shouldn’t receive a dime from our government.

I've never been the biggest fan of hers BUT the shit that is said about her pisses me off. Intellectually, there is no position in the government that she isn't qualified for. Not one. These mediocre yt men keep belittling her intelligence & it's infuriating.

This is, no exaggeration, Trump stealing a billion dollars from the United States. There are other planes for POTUS to use. This one will not be functional during his term for long, if at all.

But this one he will keep afterwards via his "presidential library."
