Seems like a real person to me, but "No, I didn't get your 'joke'" followed a few posts later by "I understood the joke." got me wondering again

Please consider "small-minded" instead of using stature or cognitive capability as a way to malign him. Those aren't the problem with Hegseth. His immaturity (as you said), worldview, and toxic masculinity are.

Little people and people with cognitive difficulties don't deserve the association.

(That's the fee for a citizenship cert only; after that a passport is minimum $190 CAD and requires a guarantor who's known you for 2+ years and has an active CA passport)

This is the image everyone is talking about, right? Looks like shingles to me

Eh. Again, ~90% of the reason it's all politics all the time is <gestures at the daily onslaught of lawless authoritarianism>. This is not a Bluesky problem. It's a society/polity problem. We will all go back to sh*tposting about TV, cocktails, sports, music, food, & puppies in the after-times.

Our kiddo's 6th birthday was yesterday. I was sooo hoping for her to come two days later than she did

This is so fucking dumb. I agree with Vanguard's "own everything" strategy. But with enough shares under management to appoint a board member to every public company on Earth and a fiduciary responsibility to owners with a multi-decade horizon, they *should* be fighting climate change.

Browt is one of the starter Pokemon in the next set (announced today, games release sometime 2027).

I saw "25/29 and 8 signatures away in one" this morning and thought okay, it's going on the ballot I guess *but these details...* Maybe not?! πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ #utpol

Other county clerks could (in theory, at least) have packets with SD7 signatures on them, right? Does anyone have a feel for what % (if any) of SD7 signatures have been counted in other counties?

I don't pretend to know which of their efforts will succeed or fail, but I will say that things like [see attached]β€”even very red states holding onto their authority over electionsβ€”are some of the obstacles they'll have to overcome to control the elections.

I probably have it wrong then. The game I'm thinking of, the sequel has some prominent dialog at the beginning saying she has brain damage. In context she probably doesn't, but it's not 100% clear.

I think I know it... Does the protagonist potentially have brain damage?
