that’s a very good reason to do so but also if you need a second one Wells Fargo let someone wash a check of mine, cash it for all the money in my checking account (which they only could have known if they had an employee on the inside) and then refused to extend me credit and stalled on reversing

I am not. Belongs to the local Ciderhouse (-:

At least as a parent you can put tantrum-throwers in timeout, or take away their cookie privileges.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team.

As a disabled person, it's disheartening to see one of the foundational pushers of alt text, a Black STEM voice, a queer advocate, and a huge voice for the disabled community gone over a poor taste joke.

Having Link here is good for so many people.

Please reconsider?

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Yeah. I don't usually cut down that road on my way toward the bridge in the morning, but I could see some fog from 47 and decided to make a stop. I thought the foliage would be a little farther along in color, but probably that's one of the few areas not absolutely bone-dry.

Sundog!

Someday, we're gonna find out that the decisionmaking went like this:

Mamdani proposes city-run grocery stores. Conservatives say it'll never work. Mamdani supporters point out that DOD runs a bunch of grocery stores. Hegseth decides to close them to own the libs.

Same.

I feel that. So much lost underneath what superficial vestiges of the past still stand.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

Italy’s largest union CGIL says it is calling a general strike for Friday in protest over Israel’s treatment of the Gaza Sumud flotilla.

I just wrote a scene that I’ve been building up to for ~6 years and it was immensely satisfying. Some days things just click together like magic (-:

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.
